This page will look at truck accident lawsuits, meaning injury cases involving commercial trucks, also known as tractor-trailer trucks or big rigs. The average tractor-trailer can weigh around 40,000 lbs., compared to the average car which weighs 5,000 lbs.

When big trucks crash into smaller vehicles, they can cause significant damage. When these accidents occur, drivers and passengers typically sustain serious injuries or even death. Personal injury claims involving commercial trucks generally are unique. Recovering compensation requires an understanding of the complexity of these claims.

Hand, wrist, and finger injuries are often undervalued by insurance companies because the injured body part is small. That is a mistake. A serious hand injury can change how you work, drive, cook, write, type, lift, dress, bathe, hold tools, or care for your family.

This page explains settlement amounts for hand, wrist, and finger injuries caused by car accidents, falls, dog bites, unsafe property conditions, defective products, and other acts of negligence. We also examine reported verdicts and settlements to show what pushes these claims up or down in value.

A dominant-hand injury can carry greater value when it permanently limits writing, gripping, typing, lifting, tool use, or employment. But dominance is only one factor. The diagnosis, surgery, permanence, occupation, lost income, insurance coverage, and strength of the liability evidence usually have a greater effect on the final settlement.

Tylenol autism lawsuits are being filed nationwide with a new Tylenol Autism class action lawsuit – technically an MDL, as we explain below – now certified in federal court.

Another Path For Victims – Baby Food

There may be another path to compensation for some victims.  Plaintiffs’ Tylenol lawyers are exploring options in state court (and looking at potential baby food lawsuits for children with autism.. Those lawsuits are gaining new currency after the Tylenol cases faltered in the MDL.

Dry shampoo lawsuits alleged that aerosol products sold under the Batiste, Sun Bum, and Paul Mitchell names contained benzene that consumers never expected to find in a hair product. The lawsuits followed laboratory testing that detected benzene in specific batches of dry shampoo from dozens of brands.

The largest public resolution was a settlement involving Batiste manufacturer Church & Dwight. That settlement is finished. It provided a $2.5 million cash fund and up to $600,000 in product vouchers, which explains why you may see it described as either a $2.5 million or $3.1 million deal. Those are two ways of describing different parts of the same settlement.

If you bought Batiste dry shampoo but did not file a claim by the 2023 deadline, you are too late to collect from that settlement. The individual payments were picayune anyway. People without proof of purchase could receive up to $10, while consumers with receipts could seek reimbursement subject to the settlement terms.

Glucose monitor lawsuits are being filed by people who say continuous glucose monitoring systems failed when they needed them most. These lawsuits involve Dexcom G6, Dexcom G7, Abbott FreeStyle Libre 3, and Abbott FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensors, apps, and receivers that allegedly provided inaccurate glucose readings, missed high- or low-glucose alerts, failed early, or failed to warn users that glucose data had stopped reporting.

This is no small complaint for someone with diabetes who relies on these monitors. A continuous glucose monitor can drive decisions about insulin, food, sleep, exercise, and emergency care. When a sensor falsely reports low glucose, a patient may eat carbohydrates or delay insulin. When a device misses a low alert, a patient may seize, lose consciousness, fall, or die. When a high glucose event is missed, the result can be prolonged hyperglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, hospitalization, or worse.  Of course, a malfunctioning glucose monitor typically causes more minor injuries and inconveniences.

Our lawyers are looking for serious glucose monitor cases involving serious injury or death.

Dr. Michael Wilmington sex abuse lawsuits are being filed by former pediatric patients who allege that Wilmington used his position as a trusted doctor to sexually abuse children during medical care. The lawsuits target the now-deceased pediatrician’s estate, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of the Northwest, Northwest Permanente, and potentially other institutions that employed, supervised, credentialed, or failed to stop him.

These cases are about more than one doctor. A child cannot be expected to understand when a medical exam crosses the line. Parents often trust the doctor, the clinic, the white coat, and the hospital system. That is why these cases focus on what Kaiser, Northwest Permanente, clinic staff, supervisors, chaperones, nurses, administrators, and other institutions knew or should have known.

The public allegations against Wilmington are serious. Vancouver Police reported that their investigation began after a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about child sexual abuse material. Police later reported that Wilmington was associated with Chad Hartley, that Wilmington allegedly hosted naked sleepovers with young children at his La Center residence, that a search warrant was served at Wilmington’s home, that evidence was seized, and that a felony warrant for Child Molestation I was issued before Wilmington was found deceased from apparent suicide. The Vancouver Police release also asked anyone aware of a child who may have had unsupervised contact with Wilmington or Hartley to contact local law enforcement.
