As a Fort Worth Benzene Lawsuit Attorney, I have been writing over the past month a series of stories on the Environment and Toxicity.

According to a new study, mothers who live in Texas neighborhoods with higher levels of benzene, a pollutant from refineries and tailpipes, are more likely to have babies with a serious neurological defects.

Texas leads the nation in benzene releases, accounting for more than 34% of emissions.

This study for the first time, links benzene to a neurological birth defect and demonstrates that air pollution can harm a fetus.

Researchers from the UT School of Public Health and Texas Dept of State Health Services conducted the study, which appeared in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.

As a Dallas DePuy Recall attorney I am concern about the risks of Cobalt and Chromium poisoning, resulting from the metal on metal grinding of the DePuy ASR Prosthetic Hips.

In August of this year, DePuy Orthopaedics Inc., recalled the ASR metal-on-metal hip replacement system, admitting that about one out of every eight patients who receives the hip implant may experience early hip failure within five years. The actual ratio of defective hips may be as high as one out of five or 20%, or even higher.

Structeral design and manufacturing problems with the DePuy metal-on-metal hip replacement system allow the toxic release of chromium and cobalt to be absorbed into the blood-stream.

Tests have demonstrated that levels of chromium and cobalt can be 100 times higher than normal, and the patients have had soft tissue and muscle inflammation and benign tumors develop, called pseudo-tumors.

Chromium and Cobalt toxicity has been linked to cancer, and other severe medical conditions associated with heavy metal toxicity.

Many individual and 2 class action law suits have been filed, the most recent in Northern District of Ohio Federal Court, on September 30.

In September, a motion was filed with the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) to consolidate and centralize the DePuy ASR recall litigation. The panel will hear arguments on the motion in early November.

If an MDL is formed, all federal cases filed in different districts throughout the United States will be transferred to one judge for coordinated handling during pretrial litigation.

As a Fort Worth DePuy Hip Product Liability attorney I took an interesting potential client inquiry. The woman had hip replacement and she has noticed that her hair is falling out in clumps, suggesting toxic metal ion poisoning., which is described below.

DePuy XL ASR Prosthetic Hips are unique, in that they involve metal on metal grinding during a patient's ambulation. While the metal design may have have sounded good in theory, they have turned out horribly bad in clinical practice.

Patients then develop 2 types of problems. The repetitive grinding motion, leads to microscopic wearing down of the articular surfaces and the release of metallic ions, particularly cobalt and chromium, into the tissues surrounding the hip. The metal becomes fatigued and leads to early failure.

Also there is the resultant loosening and dislocation of the device resulting in the need for early hip revision surgery and/or the release of metal debris causing tissue damage.

This absorption of metallic ions in the tissues, leads to an inflammatory reaction, resulting in pain, swelling and immobility. The absorption of metallic ions into the bloodstream leads to cobalt and chromium toxicity. Polyneuropathy is caused by cobalt–chromium metallosis after total hip replacement. Read the article here.

Today as a Fort Worth DePuy ASR Hip Lawsuit attorney, I took in a case for DePuy ASR product liability lawsuits that we are filing.

Johnson and Johnson acknowledged in August, with the withdrawal from the market their artificial hips, that there are problems with high failure rates, metal on metal grinding and release of metal ions into the joints.

Now class actions lawsuits are being filed across the nation.

Approximately 30,000 DePuy hips have been implanted in the US alone. There is a Fort Worth orthopedic group that has implanted 800, over the past 6 years.

DePuy is paying orthopedic doctors $50 to hand over their patients medical records and grabbing the artificial joints when they get removed. Both of these acts should be resisted at all costs. This is unethical, and you risk the loss of key evidence of a defective product. We are storing our clients DePuy artificial hips in storage bottled containing formalin.

I would encourage all patients who have had a DePuy hip implanted to seek legal advice, and to safeguard their legal rights. If you have one of the DePuy ASR hip systems, you have the potential of a legal claim. Potential recoveries include compensation for your medical bills, lost wages and your pain and suffering.

As a Fort Worth Medical Licensing and Doctor defense attorney I have written about the Grapevine Texas Gynecologists who were implanting Canadian bought FDA unapproved IUDs.

Now they are being sued by the Texas Attorney General on violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act and Fraud.

Similar cases have been brought in other jurisdictions, and what happened to those physicians is particularly instructive.

Ob/gyn Kelly Dean Shrum, DO, in Pine Bluff, Arkansas was investigated— In June 2009, FDA agents found unapproved Mirena IUDs in Dr. Shrum's office — a discovery that triggered criminal and civil charges.

On October 2009, a federal grand jury indicted Dr. Shrum with drug misbranding, healthcare fraud (for billing the state Medicaid program for unapproved IUDs), and 3 counts of money laundering (for depositing money from an allegedly illegal activity in his bank account). Dr. Shrum faced a maximum penalty of 3 years in prison and a $10,000 fine for misbranding, and a maximum of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for healthcare fraud and for each count of money laundering, according to federal prosecutors.

In addition, former patients have filed a class-action suit against Dr. Shrum in a state court. They allege that by implanting unapproved IUDs in them without their consent, Dr. Shrum is at fault for medical negligence, unjust enrichment, violation of the state's law against deceptive trade practices, and breach of fiduciary duty.

If convicted he would lose his medical license.

As a Dallas Medical License and Doctor Defense attorney, I am providing an update to the story I blogged about yesterday.

In an interview with News 8, Dr. Angela Cope, the clinic stated that they stand by their decision to insert a product they still believe is safe — despite warnings of counterfeits by the FDA and the manufacturer, Bayer Pharmaceuticals.

"There is not any medical difference in a Mirena imported from Canada versus a Mirena that's imported from America," Dr. Cope said.

But now, many women want to know how they can be sure their Mirena IUD is the FDA-approved version.

As a Fort Worth Medical Licensing and Doctor license defense attorney, I read this story with alarm. The Texas Attorney General (OAG) filed lawsuit against a Grapevine Texas women’s health clinic for selling Mirena intrauterine devices (IUDs) that were not approved for sale in the United States.

The lawsuit names Women’s Integrated Healthcare, P.A. and six of its physicians as defendants: Angela L. Cope, M.D.; Barbara Coulter-Smith, D.O.; Katrina E. Allen, M.D.; Courtney Walters, M.D.; Monica E. Lopez, M.D.; and Wendy A. Kendrick, D.O.

Read the lawsuit here.

Read the Office of Attorney General full story here.

In December 2009, the defendants voluntarily stopped selling and administering the unapproved IUDs. The Office of the Attorney General is seeking a court order requiring that the defendants only purchase and sell FDA-approved IUDs, and will impose hefty civil penalties for violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (TDTPA) and the Texas Health and Safety Code.

You can also bet that the Texas Medical Board will weigh in with penalties, license complaints and sanctions.

Not a day goes by when one reads of a story of an accidental oil and gas spillage or leakage into the ground, our water ways or the ocean. The BP Oil Spill is one major example. All over the United States, on a daily basis there are folks who are getting exposed to toxic chemicals.

As a Fort Worth Benzene Lawsuit attorney, my job is to provide to the public education, knowledge and help to help folks who have been exposed to these toxic chemicals. I hope to write a series of blog articles to highlight the various poisons that we are releasing, knowingly or accidentally into our environment.

The first is on Benzene Toxic Exposure.

Benzene is a known carcinogen in humans and causes cancer. Breathing benzene vapors can cause immediate death and chronic exposure to Benzene causes various forms of leukemia, especially Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML).

Dr Shezad Malik law firm has expertise in occupational and environmental Benzene exposure litigation.

If you or a loved one have been exposed to Benzene and developed leukemia, you should contact us immediately. You may be entitled to compensation and we can help.

Benzene is a highly flammable colorless liquid, and Benzene occurs naturally in crude oil, gasoline, and a component in many industrial and consumer products.

Benzene is commonly found in: asphalts, charcoal lighter fluid, cigarette lighter fluid, gasoline, glues, kerosene, hydraulic fluids, inks and ink markers, lacquer thinner, rubber cement, solvents, and vinyl thinners among others.

Many industrial workers are at risk for occupational exposure to this carcinogen. These include benzene production (petrochemicals, petroleum refining, and coke/coal chemical manufacturing), tire manufacturing, the printing industry, and storage or transport of benzene and petroleum products containing benzene to name some examples.

Other industrial workers at risk for exposure include those in the rubber industry, pesticides production, solvent production, paint/varnish production, waste management, oil refineries, chemical plants, leather manufacturers, petroleum processing industries, printers, and gas station employees.As you can see from these lists, Benzene is widely used in many industrial processes and frequent occupational exposure can occur.

There have been many instances of Environmental Exposure including Industrial discharge, disposal of products containing benzene, and gasoline leaks from underground storage tanks that have released benzene into our soil and water supplies.

There are Acute (short-term) and Chronic (long-term) side effects to a person being exposed to the chemical. Benzene has been linked to:

* Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)
* Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
* Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
* Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)
* Myelofibrosis and Myeloid Metaplasia
* Aplastic Anemia
* Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL)
* Hairy Cell Leukemia
* Multiple Myeloma
* Thrombocytopenic Purpura
* Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML)
* Hematologic Cancers

The Dr Shezad Malik law firm focuses on the representation of plaintiffs in Benzene lawsuits. We are handling individual and group litigation nationwide and currently accepting new Benzene cases in all 50 states.

We are the Fort Worth Texas Fosamax Product Liability Attorney Dr. Shezad Malik.
The FDA found that in some cases two types of drugs that were supposed to be preventing serious medical problems were, in fact, causing them.

Bisphosphonates like Fosamax, Actonel and Boniva, will now have to carry labels saying they can lead to rare fractures of the thigh bone, a discovery that came after another finding that they can cause a rare degeneration of the jawbone called osteonecrosis.

The other is Avandia, a blockbuster drug which was prescribed for diabetics. Diabetics are at high risk because of the disease process, for heart attacks and heart failure. Now the F.D.A. and drug regulators in Europe are restricting Avandia’s use because it appears to increase heart risks, according to research studies. Talk about a double whammy.

In both cases, the respective drug companies continue to deny any liability to the disease processes associated with the usage of their drugs.

Medtronic said it is resolving claims that wires connecting implantable Sprint Fidelis defibrillators to patients' hearts were defective. In 2009, the company estimated that at least 13 people may have died because of the problem.

Medtronic said it has agreed to pay $268 million to settle U.S. lawsuits and claims related to its Sprint Fidelis family of defibrillation leads which it recalled three years ago.

The settlement "will provide an average payout of more than $33,000 to patients who have defibrillators with wires that have broken or are considered likely to break." Company officials estimate "that 170,000 people worldwide still have defibrillators with the Sprint Fidelis leads inside them." Read full story Bloomberg News.

The first Yasmin and Yaz Product Liability Federal lawsuit trials are underway according to the recent MDL Southern District of Illinois Court Order. Our Fort Worth Yaz Injury Lawyer law firm is currently handling many cases in the Federal Yaz MDL which is consolidated in Southern District of Illinois, based in East St Louis.

These Federal MDL product liability cases involve allegations that women who took the oral contraceptive birth control pills suffered serious medical problems. 10% of the injury cases are strokes, 40% are venous thromboembolism (VTE), which include deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) and the remainder are gallbladder injuries.

Bell Weather Trial Case Selection and Process

In Complex Class action or MDL litigation, bell-weather trials allow the parties to evaluate how jurors respond to evidence that will be presented in the upcoming individual litigation.

The Court's order calls for the parties to each choose 25 cases. All of the injury cases will be either gallbladder injuries or VTE. Yaz and Yasmin stroke lawsuits will not be part of the bell-weather trials because of their low percentage of personal injuries.

After case-specific discovery on the 50 chosen cases, the list of cases will be reduced to 24. The parties will select four PE cases, four gallbladder cases and four other VTE lawsuits. Each party will be allowed to veto one of the other side’s cases from each injury group. The Court will then choose one case from each group to serve as the bell-weather trial. The two other cases are backups in the event the first case cannot be tried for some reason.

The Yaz bell-weather trials will begin with a pulmonary embolism lawsuit on September 12, 2011, followed by a gallbladder injury lawsuit that has been set for trial January 9, 2012 and another VTE case that has been set for trial to begin April 2, 2012.

Patients who received a DePuy ASR hip replacement made by a unit of Johnson and Johnson, face a high risk of hip failure or other complications due to problems with the design of the metal-on-metal hip implant.

DEPUY ASR LAWSUIT UPDATE: A recall for the hip implant was issued in August 2010, nearly a year-and-a-half after the first lawsuit over DePuy ASR hip problems was filed. The DePuy ASR Hip System is a metal-on-metal hip replacement device. Read the company's information here for patients.

The DePuy ASR hip failure rate at five years is between 12% and 13% (one out of every 8 patients), and may be even higher among women and those who received a device with a smaller head (under 50mm).

DEPUY ASR HIP REPLACEMENT PROBLEMS: According to FDA Adverse Event Reports, more than 400 reports involving DePuy ASR hip problems have been received by the federal regulatory agency since the start of 2008.

The signs of a problem with the DePuy ASR Hip, are loosening of the hip implant, fracture of the bone around the implant, or dislocation of the two parts of the hip implant that move against each other.

Problems with metal-on-metal hip implants like the DePuy ASR have been associated with metal particles that could shed into the body as the hip implants wear down.The metallic debris could damage the tissue and bone surrounding the hip implant, potentially causing a loosening of the hip.

DEPUY ASR RECALL: On August 26, 2010, DePuy Orthopaedics announced the recall of DePuy ASR XL Acetabular Hip System and DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System implants, after confirming that they have an unreasonably high failure rate.

DePuy Orthopaedics did not acknowledge until March 2010 that there was a higher-than-expected failure rate with DePuy ASR hip implants, and did not recall DePuy ASR hip replacement implants until August 2010.

A CA man has been awarded $6.4 million in a lawsuit against the city of Roseville, Calif. and a Metro bus company for a brain injury he suffered while getting on one of the company buses in 2008.

The quadriplegic man was being lifted up into one of the buses when his wheelchair rolled back off the platform, causing his head to strike the pavement, according to the suit.

The man suffered severe brain injuries as a result. Read Article: The Washington Post

This man was already severely compromised as a result of his underlying medical condition involving quadriplegia. Now adding the insult to injury of traumatic brain damage, it looks like this man could not catch any breaks. All of the damage award will go to pay for his medical condition and increased medical needs.

As a Fort Worth Texas Depuy Hip Recall law firm, we have begun evaluating and accepting Depuy Hip Product Liability claims for patients nationwide who are affected by the Depuy hip recall. The DePuy ASR hip replacements have been found to fail at a high rate and this results in the patient needing to have the device removed and replaced in a revision surgery.

Our investigation of the DePuy ASR Hip has revealed that the device causes high levels of metal ion release into patients implanted with the device.

Patients who have had a hip replacement since 2003 and are experiencing pain are urged to contact their orthopedic surgeons or the hospital where their hip surgery took place to find out if the DePuy ASR Hip was used in their hip replacement surgery.

DePuy Orthopaedics, made a voluntary recall for their ASR XL Acetabular System which was sold in the U.S. The recall was promted by the discovery that 12-13% of patient's metal-on-metal implants failed within just five years time, prompting a painful revision surgery.

DePuy sent a letter to orthopaedic hip surgeons to alert them of the recall and in addition, they provided an informational packet and medical release form to be passed out to patients.

We at the Dr Shezad Malik Law Firm strongly advise anyone with a DePuy hip to not sign that release. You do not want to give DePuy the right to review at all your confidential medical records and to take possession of the defective implant after revision surgery.

DePuy pays surgeons $50 for each medical release they convince their patients to sign. Depuy will use that medical information against the patient during litigation. The defective hip implant is the most critical piece of evidence that a patient has in their claim

As a Fort Worth Defective Drug Product Liability Attorney I am providing this update regarding the status of class actions lawsuits involving Prempro.

According to Bloomberg News, "Pfizer Inc.'s Wyeth unit properly warned a Virginia woman's doctors about the risks of its Prempro menopause drug, the jury ruled in rejecting her claim for damages."

Jurors found that "Georgia Torkie-Tork couldn't show that Wyeth officials downplayed the breast-cancer risks associated with Prempro, a hormone-replacement drug.

The decision was Wyeth's fourth straight victory in a Prempro suit weighed by a jury."

Over "6 million women took Prempro and related menopause drugs to treat symptoms such as hot flashes and mood swings before a 2002 study highlighted their links to cancer."

DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc.,a unit of Johnson and Johnson, recently announced the recall of its ASR Hip Replacement Systems. It is estimated that there are 93,000 implants worldwide. This recall came about as a result of a higher rate of failure requiring another hip replacement within 5 years.

If you have a DePuy ASR XL Acetabular or DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System should receive a letter informing you of the recall. The first step is to consult your doctor.

As a Fort Worth Product Liability attorney I read with interest this new FDA Meridia warning and recall.

The F.D.A. has announced a recall of the diet drug Meridia due to its link to increased risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Abbott Laboratories has agreed to voluntarily withdraw its obesity drug Meridia (sibutramine) from the U.S. market because of clinical trial data indicating an increased risk of heart attack and stroke, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

A recent study showed that people who take Meridia experience a 16 percent increase in the risk of serious heart problems, including non-fatal heart attacks, non-fatal strokes. Read Article: The Washington Post

As a Fort Worth DePuy ASR class action attorney and law firm, we have been following closely the events surrounding the DePuy artificial hip replacement and the lawsuits that have followed.

The negligent actions by DePuy Orthopaedics have led to multiple DePuy ASR Class Action Lawsuits involving patients from the world. The main negligence allegations are that the company knew about the high failure rate of its hip devices for years before taking action to fix the device or remove it.

On August 19, 2010 the FDA sent a warning letter to the manufacturers of the DePuy ASR Hip Replacement, DePuy Orthopaedics, regarding other orthopedic devices.

As a Dallas Benzene Leukemia Attorney I have followed the news surrounding the oil and gas extraction from the Barnett Shale.

The gas companies are releasing untold amounts of Benzene into the atmosphere and polluting the ground water.

Folks, wake up and smell the roses. We have only one Texas and one World. If you crap this up, we have no where to go. Raise your hands those of you who want to live in a sewer.

Benzene is a volatile hydrocarbon, a product from the Petroleum Industry.

Trouble is, Benzene it is a known carcinogen and very toxic. Many blood cancers occur as a result of exposure to this chemical.

As a Fort Worth Personal Injury attorney, I represent a lot of clients who have suffered personal injuries following a slip and fall accident.

Earlier in the week I defended a slip and fall deposition involving my client. The client is a 55 year old engineer who slipped and fell while walking to the bathroom at a sushi restaurant.

He slipped on something greasy that was left on the slick tiled floor and went down so hard that he was knocked out and had to be transported to the hospital and placed on the ventilator until he could recover.

The defense is making the argument that he fell off his stool at the bar but they could not explain how he happened to be found by the bathroom. Obviously they are making the argument that he could be in 2 places at once! They are making the claim that the law of physics do not apply in their restaurant...they are not familiar it would appear with Einstein's theory of Relativity..

I will continue to update this story.

As a Southlake car accident and car wreck attorney I frequently provide updates to my readers.
If you are involved in a car accident, car wreck, hit and run, fender bender or any other terms you that may use for a car collision, you should be familiar with the Texas driving rules of the road.

As a Fort Worth Car Wreck attorney, I am involved with many of the similar types of car accident cases as I read about this weekend.

Dallas taxi broadsides SUV, leads to critical injuries of a stranded driver. Read full story here. A taxicab carrying seven passengers broadsided a Buick at a downtown Dallas intersection Saturday morning, sending the SUV crashing into a man as he filled his dead vehicle with gas.

Obviously the taxi cab driver did not keep a proper lookout and went through a busy intersection, causing the accident and causing significant brain trauma to a pedestrian.

In Texas, all drivers have to keep a “proper lookout”and observe the speed, traffic signals/signs and traffic conditions for that particular stretch of road. It is the law in Texas to wear a seat belt and so buckle up. That means that the driver has to pay continuous attention to the road as well as other drivers and failure to observe this could result in a Texas car accident because of negligence.

Every driver in Texas- whether you live in Southlake, or any other area- has a responsibility to be careful when driving. Remember a Texas driver license is a privilege and not an automatic right to use the road.

As a Fort Worth Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice attorney, I read with interest this Texas medical malpractice story. The Texas Medical Board accuses Dr. Rahul Nath of performing unjustified surgery after taking MRIs and diagnosing shoulder injuries that "cannot possibly be seen," and to charging excessive fees.

Now a Harris County judge has ordered him to pay $726,000 to Texas Children's Hospital for the hospital's legal fees. Read the full story here.

I have a similar medical malpractice case where a doctor charged my client for medical surgical procedures, even though she had insurance which would have covered the routine surgery cost. She was conned into paying several thousand dollars and was told it was a cosmetic procedure not covered by insurance.
