What should I do if I was prescribed Byetta?
Tom Girardi: If you're a person whose physician prescribed Byetta, and a lot of well meaning doctors did because after all the drug was approved by the FDA. And if in fact you ended up with pancreatic problems, that's the type of situation that you should probably have investigated by a good lawyer who knows this area of the law.

Why don't gas stations in California regulate the hot gas problem?
California gas stations don't have pump regulators because they don't want to. They can claim that, "Oh my goodness, we can't do this because of the weights and measures," or whatever the song and dance is. And as a matter of fact is, this particular matter has been brought to the attention of some legislators. They are standing there in the background saying, "You guys better correct this, Girardi, with this class action or we are going to have to do something." My name is Tom Girardi.

You know, it appears that there are more than 700 cases of cancer in which our experts say it's probable were caused by chromium due to the exposure at TXI in Riverside.

Why was Digitech pulled off of the drug market?
Some people were prescribed and took Digitek. This is one of the great, terrible travesties that ever happened, because the Digitek that was sold was twice the strength of the Digitek that was approved. The FDA didn't bless this drug. The FDA blessed a drug that was half this strength, and it caused massive problems: heart attack, stroke, etc. And so the Digitek cases are very, very important. Once the FDA notified the company who makes Digitek that they are putting out the wrong stuff, it took them like a year and a half to finally withdraw from the market. Can you believe that sort of conduct? My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the senior partner of Girardi/Keese. For the past 44 years, we have helped people in California who've been seriously harmed.

How much money could I receive in a Byetta lawsuit?
Sometimes people say, "How much money am I going to get if I were injured by Byetta for example?" And the answer is, "I don't know." The truthful answer is that you are going to get the money that is permitted under the law. And that's going to depend upon various things. It's going to depend upon the disability that you are left with. It's going to depend upon what happened to you because of the Byetta, and the losses that you have sustained. And you know what good lawyers do? They want to get you everything you are entitled to. You know what good lawyers do? They don't want to get you anything you are not entitled to.

What is the purpose of the hot gas class action lawsuit?
The real purpose of the "Hot Gas Class Action" is for you. I'm not kidding you on this one. You see, let's suppose someone's been cheated out of two hundred dollars a year by these gas stations, or five hundred dollars a year. Obviously, you could never go and file a lawsuit for two hundred dollars, it would cost more than that to file the case. So, the only way that this works is a class action lawsuit in which all the people who've been wronged, namely everybody who buys gas warmer than sixty-two degrees, that there is some remedy for them and that's what this case is all about. To get a remedy for them and I think we're going to do well. My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the senior partner of Girardi-Keese. For the past forty-four years we have helped people in California who have been seriously harmed. I'm very proud of the work we've done and the role that we've played.

How is it that I'm getting cheated at the gas pump due to hot gas?
You know, let me tell you how you're being cheated. If you get say, 30 miles to the gallon, when it's hot outside, you get ten gallons of gas but you don't get ten gallons of energy. And if you get 30 miles to the gallon, you're only going to get 26. On the other hand, all they would have to do is put a little device on the pump and that would then give you a full ten gallons of real gas. And then you would get 30 miles for the ten gallons. Let me tell you this -- you won't believe this. They refuse to use those here. They use them in Canada however. Because it's cold in Canada and in Canada they can give you less than ten gallons and charge you for ten gallons. How about that? My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the senior partner of Girardi Keese. For the past 44 years, we have helped people in California who have been seriously harmed. I'm very proud of the work we've done and the role that we have played.

What is the status of the hot gas lawsuit?
You know, let me tell you a little bit about the status and progress of the case. The case is moving along very well. All these defendants came in and made a motion to dismiss the case, a hundred and seventy three of them, I think, and this courageous judge said no, that people are being harmed. This case is going forward. So that, that was a massive step. And you know what, it's one of the things that makes you very proud as a lawyer. You know, you're doing some good here. If we win this case, you won't really know it, except all of a sudden, maybe you're going to get a full ten gallons, how about that? My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the Senior Partner of Girardi Keese.

Why a class action suit, can't I just sue the oil companies myself for hot gas ripoffs?
The fact of the matter is, in many cases, the only way injustice can be changed is with a class action. Let’s suppose in this particular hot gas case, that you have been cheated out of $500 a year, $1,000 a year. There’s no way you can go bring a lawsuit to get that kind of money back because the lawsuit would cost many times that. The only way you can get justice, is with lawyers – class action lawyers, who then will represent you to change this harm and to make it right.

How much money can I receive in a wrongful death lawsuit from a Metro Link accident?
One question that people would ask is how much money can I get if I'm in a MetroLink crash. And the answer to that is I don't know. The truthful answer is the law is very strict on what you're entitled to receive; what things can be claimed and what things can't be claimed. If it's a death case, for example, you're entitled to the loss of earnings that that person no longer can provide because he's no longer part of the family. Or she's no longer part of the family. You're also entitled to a sum to make up for the loss of love, care, comfort and society of the person that got killed. So in a death case that would be the measure of damages.

What areas are affected by the TXI chromium contamination in California?
You know, the people who live in this little community in Riverside, which is a short distance from Los Angeles, were the people that are massively affected by a careless cement company, TXI, pouring chromium into the air. Chromium is an insidious carcinogen. As a matter of fact, one pound of chromium can cause as much cancer as fifty pounds of benzine, to give you some idea of how terrible this chemical is. And this little community which is adjacent to this plant has been subjected to this chromium dust, it's on the swingsets, it's outside their door, it's in the air and it's in the water. My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the senior partner of Girardi Keyes. For the past 44 years, we've helped people in California who've been seriously harmed.

What is the TXI chromium contamination lawsuit?
In a law firm, we've been amazed at the carelessness the major companies destroy or throw away chemicals. A lot of these chemicals are such that they can cause massive harm to the whole community. Indeed that's what happened in the Erin Brokovitch's case. One of those worst chemicals was chromium and indeed there's another situation that is taking place out in river side with the cement manufacturing plant called TXI in which they put all these chromium into the air, right on to the surrounding houses to the plant.

How much money could I receive if I was a victim of chromium contamination from TXI?
Sometimes people will come to me and they say, well, just how much money am I going to get out of this TXI case? And you know the honest, the only honest answer is, I have no idea. Depends upon a lot of things. First of all we have to show that you lived in this area for the requisite length of time that one could get cancer because of the exposure. Secondly, you have to be situated in such a spot that in fact, you were subjected to the exposure. Thirdly, the type of cancer you have must be one of those cancers which is related to chromium. Then under the law, you may be entitled to compensation for this terrible disease.

How do I know if I should be involved in the TXI chromium contamination lawsuit?
one of the say of all, should I be involved in this law suit or not and the answer that question it depends. First of all, if you live in this area right in decent to the plant and you have cancer, the chances are you should look in to it. Some cancers are not really caused necessarily by a chromium. Breast cancer for example, the nexuses between breast cancer and chromium is really in dispute. Of lung bullet cancer, however, are in fact precipitated by chromium. So those are the things if somebody has problem and have lived in that area for the period of time,the thing they are really looking to it is to see that under the law it is a proper thing.

What should I look for in a lawyer to help me in a Ortho Novum lawsuit?
You know there a million lawyers out there. And sometimes somebody says "what should I do, throw a dart? Uh, get the yellow pages and you know, get a guy whose name begins with 'A', or whatever?" And the answer is you have to do some research. You know the one thing that has happened to the law is that situations like this are giving people an opportunity to understand what various lawyers do. It doesn't make any difference if I'm a wonderful probate lawyer if you don't have a probate problem. And if you have an ortho novum problem, no matter how good the lawyer is on corporate analysis, that person's not going to be able to help you either. So it's the idea that people now are beginning to understand what lawyers do, to get background information on them, gives them the way to get some justice. My name is Tom Girardi.

How do I find a lawyer if I'm the victim of a Metro Link accident?
Maybe one would ask, if I got hurt in a Metrolink crash, who should I call upon? What lawyer can help me? You know, that’s a real good question. The medical community has done a much better job at guiding people to the right person because of the medical problem you may have. If your little child is sick, you know you need to go to a pediatrician. If you break your leg, you need to go to an orthopedic surgeon. On the other hand for lawyers all it says is: lawyer. You know - lawyer one flight up. And the only way really I think you can get a handle on this is to do some investigation yourself. Services like Legal Faces do an awful lot to give you a handle on the lawyers that are out there, the type of work they do, and how they are successful. My name is Tom Girardi.

How is your firm helping the families affected by TXI chromium contamination?
You know, I’m very proud of our law firm to try to help families who’ve been harmed by TXI conduct. You know, TXI absolutely, positively knew what they were doing. They knew they were belching this carcinogen chromium into the air, onto the swing sets, into the water of this little community. And the fact of the matter is, many families have been very badly hurt by it. For a firm like ours, it’s great to be a part to try to create justice for these people who have suffered serious and terrible harm due to the conduct of a company that didn’t really care.

How can lawyers help me avoid getting ripped off at the pump from hot gas?
We all see hits on lawyers who handle these class-actions. This may come as a big surprise to you, but the people making the hits are those who defrauded, by and large, the community. You and me, when we're buying goods. For example, in this hot gas case, lawyers are working basically around the clock for you to try to get these companies who are overcharging you to make them stop doing it.

If you've been injured in a Metrolink crash, then the law has very strict rules of what you can recover for.

What is the hot gas class action lawsuit?
If you pull up to a gas station and get ten gallons of gas and it's warmer than sixty-two degrees, due to the fact that the gas in the tank expands at Chevron or Exxon or whatever, you get ten gallons, but you don't get ten gallons of energy. As a matter of fact, if it's eighty-four degrees outside and you get ten gallons of gas and you usually get thirty miles to the gallon, you're only going to get twenty-six, so that's kind of the case. However, watch this, when Exxon goes to pay the state the gas tax, the feds the gas tax, say on ten-thousand gallons, they say you know we didn't really sell ten-thousand gallons. Temperature adjusted we only sold nine-thousand-six-hundred. They pay taxes on nine-thousand-six-hundred and then they simply keep the rest of it. And the whole idea here is that we want to get all of these gas stations to put in a gauge so you get a full ten gallons. My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the senior partner of Girardi-Keese.

Why do accidents happen on the Metro Link in California?
Metrolink continues to crash because they don’t have safeguards. The fact of the matter is, there all sorts of things they could do. They know that the people in the, in the cabin of the train were suppose to yell out whenever they come across a red signal. Their all supposed to yell it out, red block, so everybody is aware. Um, they don’t do that. They’re, they’re working their crossword puzzle or on their cell phones instead. Now then, to have this sort of irresponsibility, where you have all these people on your train is insanity. The fact of the matter is, what is the Union Pacific freight train doing on the same track at the time the commuter Metrolink is headed on the same track. This is nuts. And, there’s sensors out there that could divert that, that wouldn’t let a train pass when there’s a possibility of harm. But they’ve decided it’s much cheaper, I guess, uh, to pay all the people who’ve gotten hurt, maimed, and killed than it is to do the right thing to make sure this won’t happen again.

Is there anything that can help me from being cheated at the pump by hot gas?
You know there's a device that's in existence right now that can totally cure the problem. Doesn't cost very much, per pump it costs about 800 bucks. And what that would do is to make sure that no matter what the temperature was, you would get a full 10 gallons if you were buying 10 gallons. Now then, they refuse to use it, and you won't believe this, except in Canada where it's cold. Then they can use that device, because they can only give your baby 9.7 gallons and charge you for 10, because there it's cold and the gas molecules are closer together.

How many people are involved in the hot gas class action lawsuit?
The people that are part of this action are really all the people who buy gas. In other words, that's what the class action is aimed to help. That group of people in all the warm states, the southern states: California, Arizona, Nevada, who purchase gas because they're the ones that are harmed. Because here, obviously, we have a lot of days where it's warmer than sixty-two degrees outside. And if we can get these devices on these, on these pumps, it's going to save everybody thousands of dollars during the period of their car's lifetime. My name is Tom Girardi.

You're part of the, what we call the, flat-panel anti trust case, the price fixing case fo-, for flat-panels right now. You're going to have the option sooner or later to opt out if you so desire. But the whole purpose of this is to stop it from happening in the future. That's really our main focus.

Can I get money back from the flat-panel monitor price fixing lawsuit?
The question arises, “If I bought one of these flat panel monitors, am I entitled to get any money back?” And the answer is, “We have to win the case for you.” If we do win the case for you, I think there’s a darn good chance you’re going to get money back. And if we do win this case, they’re not going to do it anymore. So those are the two things that we’re focused on in this case that is before a terrific judge, Sue Elston up in San Francisco.

You don't even know we're doing it, you don't even know we're working 16 hours a day for you on the flat panel TV screen price fixing case that's going on. On the other hand, that's what we are doing. So the next time you see some ad about corporate America that says how terrible plaintiff lawyers are, think about this- there are a lot of plaintiff lawyers out there that are doing their utmost for you. And that's the truth. My name is Tom Girardi, I am the senior partner of Girardi-Keese. For the past 44 years, we have helped people in California that have been seriously harmed. I'm very proud of the work we've done and the role that we've played.

How can US lattorneys take on large overseas corporations in the flat-panel price fixing scheme?
The question arises once again of how can United States attorneys be involved in litigation like this which is focused on the manufacturers of flat panel screens, all of which are basically in the Asian countries. All nine of them. And the way it works is that lawyers band together in which they can focus on the harm that is created, asking the judge to certify this class to stop the injustice of their fixing prices. And we have evidence that they've had some 50 some meetings; every single one of these manufacturers was involved in these meetings, in which the only purpose of the meetings was fixing prices to sell the product to the United States consumers. My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the senior partner of Girardi Keese. For the past 44 years we have helped people in California who've been seriously harmed.

What should I do if I purchased a flat-panel TV or monitor?
The question arises as what sort of person do you put under the flat screens. And the answer is right now nothing. This case is proceeding, and you are already a part of it, and we are going see, what happens;if you are successful in the case, two things are going to happen. First, well no I am not going to do any more. That’s the most important part. Secondly, you are going to be given, perhaps the opportunity to send in receipts and to get a repayment to you for the overcharges that took place when you buy a flat panel screen. My name is Tom Girardi. I am the senior part of the “Girardi Keese”. For the past 44 years we have helped the people in California who have been seriously harmed. I am really proud of the work we have done, and the role that we have played.

Do I have any recourse if I bought a flat-panel TV or monitor?
You know, here's what this flat-panel case is all about. Once again, the most important part of it is the future, to stop doing it because we want to protect those people that are going to buy flat-panel screens tomorrow and hereafter. On the other hand, there is also a request to try to make them pay back the money that they took illegally by fixing prices of these flat-panel screens. And that's the money we're very hopeful, if we're successful, that we're going to get back to you. You know what, lawyers aren't all bad men. You can imagine a case like this, you didn't even know what happened to you. You're just down there, putting it on your credit card, going forward. The fact of the matter is nine manufacterers of this stuff have been meeting in a garage some place saying 'This is what we're going to charge. How about that?' My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the Senior Partner of Girardi / Keese. For the past 44 years, we have helped people in California who have been seriously harmed.

Is the government involved in the flat-panel screen price fixing case?
Why are lawyers involved in this? Why wouldn't the government be involved in it? Well, you know, as luck would have it, the government is involved as well. There are criminal prosecutions going on, grand jury going on, as we speak, about the flat-panel screens that are the subject of this price-fixing movement. On the other hand, the government is working for the government. The government isn't necessarily working for the people. They're interested in fines, perhaps, for the price fixing. We're involved in changing it for the people. And, hopefully, to get money back for the people who purchased these flat-panel screens. My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the Senior Partner of Girardi/Keese. For the past forty-four years, we have helped people in California who've been seriously harmed. I'm very proud of the work we've done and the role that we've played.

What is the flat-panel TV and monitor price fixing scheme lawsuit?
you know, another case that,um, we're very proud of that I think that we're going to do some good with, um, is the price fixing case with respect to LCD flat monitors if you would both the t.v. monitors and notebook monitors. There are 9 manufaturers Korean, Tiawanese, Chinese, Japanese that manufacture all of these and what we've now found out is that what they've been doing is not competing with each other but fixing the prices of all these screens. We've disvovered they've had 57 meetings with upper management some of them ceo to ceo the primary purpose in fact to fix the prices and we're after them, man and we're going to do some good here. My name is Tom Girardi I'm the senior partner for Girari Keese.For the past 44 years we've helped people in California who have been seriously harmed.

What is the status of the flat-panel screen price fixing lawsuit?
I'd like to bring you up to date on what the status of this case is with respect to price-fixing of flat panel screens. Two things have gone on. One, the civil case is proceeding. The civil case is the case in which we represent the people who bought these screens. Almost more importantly, the government is proceeding. They're proceeding, and they've actually gotten two pleas of criminal conduct by two of the manufacturers, and we think there are more to come. With that sort of pressure on these people, sooner or later they're going to have to do the right thing. One, they're not going to do it anymore, and secondly, they're going to have to pay for the amount of overcharges that they have charged you, who bought one of these things over the last three years. My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the senior partner of Girardi/Keese. For the past 44 years, we have helped people in California who have been seriously harmed. I'm very proud of the work we've done and the role that we have played.

How do hot gas ripoffs affect our California gas taxes?
When you pay the gas tax, you pay a certain portion for the state on every gallon, certain portion to the feds on every gallon. However, when the Chevrons of the world and Shell and everybody else, they're all the same, when they go pay the state and they go pay the feds, say on ten thousand gallons, they say, "You know we really didn't sell ten thousand. We're gonna temperature adjust it. We only sold 9,400." Then you know what they do with that tax money? They keep it. They keep the differential. I know you don't believe me, but I promise you that's the case. This is not a situation where a lawyer is saying, "This is what happened" and the oil company is saying, "Oh no, this is what happened", the fact of the matter is, they've agreed that that's exactly what they do. My name is Tom Giradi. I'm the senior partner or Giradi/Keese. For the past forty four years, we have helped people in California who have been seriously harmed. I'm very proud of the work we've done and the role that we've played.

What is being done to remedy gas ripoffs from hot gas?
Right now there are several class actions in which the people who live in the hot states, the southern states, California, Arizona, Nevada, Florida, are all part of a class that is before the court and the court has combined all of those cases of the 28 hot states together. And the idea would be that therefore there'll be one trial with everybody represented in the hot states to try and stop this massive injustice. My name is Tom Gerardi. I'm the senior partner of Gerardi Keys. For the past forty-four years, we've helped people in California who've been seriously harmed.
