As a result of the opioid addiction crisis, thousands of babies in the U.S. became addicted to opioids in utero and were born with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome and suffered opioid withdrawal at birth. Parents of these children are now filing lawsuits against the opioid manufacturers. If your child was diagnosed with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome or opioid withdrawal at birth, contact our national mass tort lawyers today to see if you qualify.

Over the past two decades, the number of opioid prescriptions has nearly quadrupled, fueling the ongoing opioid epidemic that has swept through our nation and brought devastation to countless families and communities. Recent estimates reveal that a baby born addicted to opioids emerges in the U.S. approximately every 19 minutes, with many newborns experiencing drug withdrawal symptoms and potential developmental issues daily.

The blame for this crisis often falls on drug manufacturers and distributors who knowingly played down the risks of opioid painkillers leading to physical dependency. Several pharmaceutical companies have faced repercussions for their deceptive and unlawful marketing of drugs like OxyContin, which, like other opiates, can serve as a gateway to heroin use. The consequences of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) can be profound, potentially resulting in lifelong complications and substantial medical costs that can place significant financial strain on families. You and your baby should not have to endure such traumatic circumstances.

This post will examine the settlement payout value of auto accident cases involving herniated or bulging disc injuries where the plaintiff’s treatment included epidural steroid injections.

Car accidents frequently lead to disc herniations, caused by the significant force and pressure exerted on the spine. This pressure can result in tears, ruptures, or bulges of the spinal discs, which serve as cushions for the spine. Epidural steroid injections, also known as corticosteroid injections, are commonly utilized to reduce inflammation and relieve pain, particularly in the back.

Many victims wonder how much epidural steroid injections can affect settlement amounts and jury awards. Our attorneys provide insights into the calculation of compensation in such cases.

This page will look at broken arms and other types of arm injuries in personal injury lawsuits. We will discuss the various types of arm injuries that our lawyers typically see in tort cases, and we will analyze the average settlement payout value for these arm injuries in a lawsuit.

Arm Injuries in Car Accidents

Arm injuries in car accidents are common due to the confined space of the vehicle, the force of impact, and the natural instinct of occupants to brace for impact with their arms. The types and severity of these injuries can vary widely depending on factors such as the speed of the collision, the direction of impact, whether occupants were wearing seat belts, and the deployment of airbags.

Truck accident claims are markedly different than standard car accident lawsuits.  Truck accident lawyers face complexity with these claims that you do not see in car accident lawsuits.  If there is any takeaway from this page that you get, it should begin with someone with a history of handling car accident claims and is not necessarily a truck accident lawyer.  If you are in a truck accident, you need an experienced lawyer who knows how to handle the unique challenges of these cases to put you in the best position to maximize any truck accident settlement amount you may get as compensation for your injuries or the death of a loved one.
