Why do insurance companies limit payouts in car accidents?

Shandell, Blitz, Blitz & Ashley, LLP

Insurance companies try to limit their payouts in car accidents because they are much more interested in profits over people.

Can litigation occur in probate or trust administration?

Wealth Strategies Counsel

There are a lot of problems that arise that generate litigation during probate or trust administration. A lot of those problems are because of the drafting errors that were made in the initial estate plan. That's why it's so important that the estate plan be prepared by a competent attorney. Other problems arise because of the fact that there are disagreements amongst the children as to what the parent's intentions are. And even if the intentions are clearly stated, children feel slighted, or heirs from a prior marriage contest and dispute with the second wife. And there is lots of different problems involved with blended families. I'm Jeff Matsen, and I'm the founding and managing partner of Wealth Strategies Counsel.

Why doesn't the FDA remove harmful drugs from the market?

Law Offices of James Sokolove, LLC

On all these matters that we are talking about, whether we are talking about fen-phen or gadolinium or any of these pharmaceuticals that are having problems in the market, the difficulty is that the FDA has a tremendous amount of staff and goes through tremendous process to decide whether something should be allowed on the market. The difficulty is that once its on the market, the FDA does not have enough staff to monitor if there are events to see if these medications should be pulled off the market. The pharmaceuticals have such power with the FDA that the consumer does really not have a fair chance. Thus, the FDA is not a real watchdog we can rely on right now. I'm attorney Jim Sokolove.

What types of injuries can be covered in a dog bite or attack claim in California?

The Roberts Law Firm

Dog bite claims have unique injuries different from many other types of accidents. In particular, scarring. And in a dog bite claim, all medical bills can be compensated. If someone looses income due to the dog bite, they will recover their lost income. Pain and suffering, but also, as I said, scarring. Scarring, particularly, on small children causes problems later on as they get older and requires surgeries and those surgeries will be compensated as well. I'm Jeff Roberts of the Roberts Law Firm, a full service personal injury law firm in Southern California. If you've been involved in an accident, call us for a free consultation.

Why was Digitech pulled off of the drug market?

Girardi & Keese Lawyers

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. I'm very proud of the work we've done and the role that we have played.

What's the #1 mistake when buying commercial property?

Wealth Strategies Counsel

The number one mistake people make in buying commercial property is they don't carefully analyze the vehicle in which they utilize to purchase the property. They need to make sure that they have the proper liability protected entity in which to place the property. And they also need to make sure, of course, that they are getting what they're paying for. They need to make sure that the representations of the seller, the disclosure of the seller, is complete and exhaustive. They need someone to review those disclosures who has experience in real estate and knows what the problems can be.

Has the economic climate forced the banks to give more loan modifications?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

The economic climate is forcing more banks to do loan modifications because they have more and more foreclosures on their books, and it’s not a good thing. It’s really what’s driven the market to be where it is right now, that’s required this bailout by our government, iIs because you have so many non performing loans. And the truth of the matter is that many of these borrowers were able to make their payments in the past, but were unable to keep up with their payments when the interest rates adjusted through the roof. So if we just bring those interest rates back down, it’s going to solve a lot of the problems. If we extend the term of the loan from thirty to fourty years, and maybe drop the principal down a little bit, many – if not all – of these borrowers will be able to make the monthly payments on their loans. My name’s Damion Nassiri. I’m a partner in the law firm Howard Nassiri. We’re based in Southern California and we help people save their homes. If you’ve been the victim of a predatory loan, or you’re facing foreclosure, give us a call.

Are there laws to protect me from predatory lending?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

There are a number of laws that are on the books right now that are designed to prevent predatory lending practices. The problem is, is that, lenders a lot of times don’t follow those laws. They wait until they get caught and then deal with the problems later, because they’re too busy making money off of the predatory loans. And while the gravy train is running, nobody’s going to try to stop it. So, a lot of these lenders were giving loans that were not, that they shouldn’t have been giving. But the problem was that we only found out now, several years later that this, what kind of a problem this really was. My name is Damion Nassiri. I’m a partner in the law firm Howard Nassiri. We’re based in Southern California and we help people save their homes. If you’ve been the victim of a predatory loan, or you’re facing foreclosure, give us a call.

Why do I need a lawyer to file a workers' compensation claim?

Kantrovitz & Associates, P.C.

The biggest problems that you face in a worker’s compensation case are principally dealing with issues of what they call extent of disability. Initially when someone first gets hurt at work, it’s pretty straightforward – they can’t do the functions of their job. And then if they have an injury that turns out to be more significant, that doesn’t allow them to go back and do their previous line of employment, the question then shifts to can they do any type of a job in the greater open labor market. And what I always like to say is that, without proper representation, that insurance companies and insurance company lawyers will assume anything that they want to assume. My name is attorney Stephen Kantrovitz of Kantrovitz and Associates. For the past twenty years, we’ve been representing individuals in the Greater Boston area in worker’s compensation, personal injury, and social security disability claims.
