If you are involved in an injury accident in California, you may not know what to do. It could be your first accident and you may have never spoken with an attorney in your life. We understand. We hear many times from our California personal injury and wrongful death clients that it is the first time they have ever had to hire an attorney. Some people think that hiring an attorney makes them litigious. It does not! If you are not at fault in the accident, you are the victim, you have a right to an attorney to make sure that the insurance companies do not take advantage of you. You deserve to be treated fairly and you deserve fair compensation for your injuries, loss of earnings, diminished value of your vehicle, pain, suffering, etc.

Do not wait to call us. Many former clients know to call us from the scene of their accident. We can help right away. You may think you are doing the right thing, but without speaking with an experienced California personal injury lawyer, you may be making some hidden mistakes. For example, sometimes people don’t call 911 because the other party convinces them not to. If you are injured in an accident that is not your fault, you should call 911 and request the police come to the scene. You need a police report because sometimes the other party may change their story later on, even if they admit fault at the scene. If your injuries warrant it, you should also request paramedics respond. Sometimes 911 operators may ask you if anything is broken or if you are bleeding, and if you say no, they may not send paramedics. It is your responsibility to let them know that you need paramedics. For example, you may have a concussion, which is a traumatic brain injury, which needs to be examined and treated right away.

If there are any witnesses to your accident, get their information (at a minimum their name, phone number and email address) so we can contact them later and get a written statement from them. Even if you don’t think you will need the witness, do it anyway. Before you talk to the police and give your statement at the scene, call our experienced lawyers and tell us what happened. We can help you! There is no cost for this type of consultation.

If you are involved in a serious injury accident in California, or you have a relative that suffers a wrongful death due to someone else’s negligence, you need a personal injury and wrongful death lawyer that you can really trust, not a lawyer from a billboard or radio or television commercial.  This is a common mistake made by  many people who may never have hired a lawyer before and do not know what exactly to look for.

If you are hiring a law firm for your very important personal injury or wrongful death case, see if you can talk to the lawyer who will be representing you and your family. If you cannot talk to the lawyer and only get to speak with a receptionist, or if the lawyer sends an “investigator” to your home or hospital to try to pressure you into signing with them, then you should not hire that law firm.

Make sure you read everything that a law firm sends you when you are considering hiring that law firm. Our firm has an easy and simple to understand one page Retainer Agreement. We try to make everything as easy as possible for our clients in their difficult time.  Some firms have five or ten page retainer agreements, which may not be a bad thing by itself, but it is a bad thing if they are using the multiple pages to sneak in terms that are not beneficial to the client. Many of the firms that advertise heavily do not care as much about having happy clients at the end of the case, so they will sneak things into their agreements to use against the clients. Oftentimes the clients won’t realize those terms are in their agreement until after they have settled.  Do not fall for this. Read the entire contract. If you have a question about anything in our contract, ask us, we will happily explain it to you.

Many People Are Accidentally Poisoned by Roundup and Glyphosates Today

You can be accidentally poisoned by Roundup and glyphosates quite easily, if you are anywhere in the vicinity of where these dangerous chemicals are being administered and used in outdoor applications. Roundup is commonly used as an herbicide to manage weeds in residential and commercial settings. The herbicide Roundup is especially potent, and can be deadly if ingested or exposed to it. You can be “minding your own business” and still be exposed to glyphosates. That is because once it is unleased into the environment, it is highly toxic and can affect you if you are even exposed to it for a short amount of time. Glyphosates are dangerous in all types, and can cause serious reactions to anyone exposed to these hazardous chemicals. Many times, there will be some concern with the exposures to Roundup, in regard to know how to treat the exposed areas or to manage any poison control if the herbicide is accidentally ingested. This concern is because the formulas for glyphosates and surfactants can vary widely by manufacturer and by herbicide, it is difficult to know the exact formula that is used in any one application. Children as well as adults are susceptible to poisoning from Roundup and glyphosate use and applications in the environment.1

People are accidentally poisoned by glyphosate when it gets into their food, on their hands and they touch their mouths or food resources or it is airborne and they inhale it in contaminated environments. Anywhere that there are agricultural and industrial uses of Roundup, as well as in residential home environments where weed killers are used, there is a risk of an accidental poisoning of glyphosate. Technically, whether you are outside or inside, you can still be susceptible to being poisoned by Roundup, if it is stored in an area that you may be near, pass by, or have access to in a storage area. This can apply to an area where the chemicals are stored in a commercial or residential area. That means, if you are working in an office or near a home, you can accidentally be poisoned by someone else using Roundup and glyphosates in that environment. A person can accidentally ingest Roundup in any season, summer and winter included, when there is an improper storage of the chemicals and containers of the herbicide.

How Long Does It Take to Recover from a Ventral Hernia Mesh Surgical Procedure?

Ventral hernia repairs are usually performed with an open or a laparoscopic surgical procedure. This can shorten the recovery time of the person getting the procedure, to allow the person to get back to the normal scheme of life quickly. Many times, how quickly you get back to normal after a surgery is called your “quality of life.” If you are able to recover quickly after a surgery, then it may stand to reason that your quality of life will remain the same as it was before the surgery.

If you take a long time to recover from a surgery and experience prolonged pain in relation to the surgical procedure, then you may experience a lowered quality of life after your ventral hernia surgery.1

Are Los Angeles Hernia Meshes Used Equally on Men and Women for Hernia Repair Procedures?

Hernias that occur in the groin area can affect men and women, although it is more common that a hernia affects men. If a woman has an inguinal hernia, the way to diagnosis it is to use an ultrasound. Ultrasonography can help diagnoses a hernia in women, and if there are complications after a hernia repair as well, it can be found using this equipment. The use of magnetic resonance imaging or MRI is also popular to diagnose a hernia, as well as a herniography which uses an injection of contract media into the hernial sac to identify a hernia.1
