The Bard PowerPort (“BardPort”) is a port catheter device implanted just under the skin to allow for easy attachment to a catheter for the intravenous delivery of fluids or medication.

The Bard PowerPort has inherent design and manufacturing flaws that make the device prone to fracturing and migrating out of position. This can cause severe injuries, including internal vascular damage.

Individuals who suffered injuries due to a defective Bard PowerPort device are now bringing product liability lawsuits against the manufacturer of the PowerPort implants. Our firm is currently accepting new cases from anyone who had a Bard PowerPort port catheter device implanted and was injured due to a fracture, migration, or other implant failures.

Meconium aspiration syndrome is one of those birth complications that can turn a normal delivery into a medical emergency very quickly. It usually starts with something doctors and nurses see all the time — meconium-stained amniotic fluid. In most newborn deliveries, that finding alone does not mean the baby will be injured. But it is a warning sign that prudent doctors and nurses must focus on.  It tells the delivery team to pay attention, prepare for trouble, and be ready to act if the baby shows signs of distress. Most birth injury lawsuits involving meconium aspiration are due to doctors not taking the presence of meconium seriously.

This page explains what meconium aspiration syndrome is, how it can injure a newborn, what doctors and hospitals are supposed to do when meconium is present, and how medical negligence can turn a manageable complication into a devastating birth injury. We also look at settlements and verdicts in meconium aspiration malpractice lawsuits.

The key point is simple. Meconium aspiration syndrome can happen even when doctors do everything right. But when a hospital ignores warning signs, delays delivery, fails to respond to fetal distress, or mishandles a newborn who is struggling to breathe, the result can be brain damage, HIE, chronic lung disease, cerebral palsy, developmental delays, or death.

If you have a power of attorney from your elderly parent or relative who lives in a nursing home, does that mean you can be held liable for nursing home bills? The answer is no, but nursing homes may try to go after you anyway.

That is the short answer. Having power of attorney does not make you personally responsible for your parent’s nursing home bill. A power of attorney gives you the authority to act for the resident. It does not turn the resident’s debt into your debt.

But there are traps. Nursing home admission paperwork can be confusing. Some facilities use “responsible party” language that makes family members think they are signing only to help with paperwork, while the facility later argues they agreed to do more. Some nursing homes or debt collectors may send bills to adult children even when the child never agreed to be personally responsible. Some may suggest that having power of attorney means you owe the bill yourself.

In Mississippi, personal injury law covers a wide range of civil claims. Car accidents. Truck accidents. Slip and fall cases. Medical malpractice. Dog bites. Dangerous products. Birth injuries. Wrongful death claims. The common thread is that someone was hurt because another person, company, hospital, truck driver, store, doctor, or government employee failed to act with reasonable care.

The value of a Mississippi personal injury case depends on the facts, the injuries, the venue, the insurance, the medical proof, the plaintiff, the defendant, and the jury. Two cases can look similar on paper and produce very different results. That is what makes settlement value so hard to predict. Anyone who tells you there is a simple Mississippi settlement calculator is selling something.

This page explains Mississippi personal injury law, including the statute of limitations, comparative fault, damage caps, medical malpractice rules, wrongful death claims, government claims, premises liability, dog bite cases, workers’ compensation, and examples of Mississippi verdicts and settlements.

This page is about social media addiction lawsuits and who is eligible to bring a claim. Our lawyers also provide the latest news on social media class action lawsuits (including the ongoing trial in California).

The problem that led to social media lawsuits is that millions of people, too many of whom are children, are addicted to social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and others. For these vulnerable users, social media addiction can be very harmful and lead to things like eating disorders, depression, and, in some cases, suicide.

Now, these companies are facing a wave of new social media lawsuits alleging that they knowingly designed the algorithms of their platforms to lure young people into harmful addictions.

On this page, our car accident lawyers will look at Miami auto accident lawsuits. We will review key points of Florida law relevant to auto tort cases and we will discuss how much settlement compensation plaintiffs typically get in Miami car accident cases.

Miami car accident cases are different from car accident cases in many other parts of the country. The roads are crowded. The drivers are aggressive. Tourists are everywhere. Commercial trucks, rideshare vehicles, taxis, delivery vans, motorcycles, scooters, pedestrians, and bicyclists all share the same overloaded road system. When a crash happens, the injuries can be serious and the insurance issues can be more complicated than victims expect.

This page explains Miami car accident law, Florida no-fault insurance, the statute of limitations, comparative fault, damages, settlement value, and recent Miami auto accident verdicts and settlements.

Our lawyers are handling Paragard IUD removal lawsuits in all 50 states. Over 3,500 women have filed a Paragard IUD lawsuit claiming that they were injured when a design defect in the IUD caused it to fracture during removal and leave foreign objects inside their bodies.

These lawsuits allege the Paragard intrauterine device breaks upon removal because it is made with inflexible plastic and degrades before the device expires. Over 3,000 lawsuits have been lodged against Teva Pharmaceutical and CooperSurgical by women who encountered issues such as breakage during removal or implantation, or other complications associated with the Paragard birth control device.

This page provides the latest update on the 2026 Paragard lawsuit.  Our lawyers also speculate on the potential settlement value of a Paragard lawsuit if the litigation is resolved through a global settlement with the manufacturers. When could there be a settlement?  Soon.  These cases could be resolved by the end of 2026, with victims receiving payment in 2026 if the settlement is finalized quickly. Is that the most likely scenario?  We are cautiously optimistic, but after the first trial loss in February 2026,
