Alarming Medical Malpractice News

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/despite-multiple-malpractice-payouts-doctors-often-keep-practicing/

CBS News recently wrote an article pointing out the rather lax policing of doctors.  There are situations all across America where physicians are still practicing medicine despite having been part of multiple medical malpractice claims.  This is a scary realization that has been exposed.

This piece illuminates the importance about seeking the best possible medical care.  There are lots of resources that you can use on the internet to determine whether your healthcare provider has been subject to any potential malpractice claims.  In Georgia, look to the Georgia Composite Medical Board website at medicalboard.georgia.gov and in Alabama look to the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners & Medical Licensure Commission website at www.albme.org.  Last but not least, use your favorite search engine (i.e. Google,Yahoo, Bing) and simply put your doctor’s name in the search box.  These steps should give you some assurance that your doctor is one of the best around.

The personal injury attorneys at The Parian Law Firm, LLC are experienced with medical malpractice claims and can help you or someone you know who has been injured by the negligence of a healthcare provider.  The Parian Law Firm, LLC and the law firms throughout the country that The Parian Law Firm, LLC has strategic partnerships with have a track record of recovering millions of dollars due to medical malpractice claims.  Our personal injury attorneys are licensed in Georgia and Alabama, but take cases all over the United States.  Please contact us at (770) 727-5550 or fill out a contact form at www.westgalawyer.com for a no-obligation assessment of your potential medical malpractice claim.

New Cancer Risks Associated with Baby Powder

I spent this past week in Chicago, Illinois meeting with and learning from some of the best personal injury litigators in America.  Many friendships were made, and multiple strategic alliances were formed with other lawyers all over America.  I am happy to report that The Parian Law Firm, LLC (www.westgalawyer.com) is committed to ensuring that its clients have the best attorney team possible to get the results they deserve.

While surfing the internet during my downtime in Chicago, I read an article that I believe hammers home why you, the individual, deserves justice. About 2 years ago, Johnson & Johnson announced that it was removing some allegedly toxic ingredients from its baby and infant products.  It even went so far as to put a positive advertising spin on the removal of those ingredients by stating that the ingredients were removed for their “customers’ peace of mind.”  Who are those ads targeting?  Yep.  The mothers of those children using Johnson & Johnson baby and infant products.

However, what Johnson & Johnson is not telling you is how they are not looking out for the welfare of the mothers of those children.  The National Cancer Institute (www.cancer.org) announced that there is evidence that exposure of the female genitalia to talcum powder increases a female’s risk of developing ovarian cancer.  Yet, Johnson & Johnson continues to produce baby powder products and other shower products routinely used by women containing talcum powder.  You will find NO WARNING LABEL WHATSOEVER on the product about the risks.

There are several lawsuits pending on behalf of women who used Johnson & Johnson baby powder products.  Hopefully, these lawsuits will get the attention of the corporate behemoth to remove the cancer-causing ingredient, or at a minimum, place a simple warning on the product.  We, at The Parian Law Firm, LLC, stand ready to fight for the justice you deserve if you believe that talcum powder is a potential cause of your or loved one’s ovarian cancer.  Call us today at (770) 727-5550 or visit our website atwww.westgalawyer.com/contact-us/ to fill out a contact sheet.

Safety Isn't ONLY for Dummies.......It's For Us

I grew up the oldest of three boys.  That generally meant that I was the one that inflicted pain upon my younger siblings.  Of course, the older they got, they discovered ways to inflict pain on their older brother.  It usually involved kicking where the sun doesn’t shine or asking the same question over and over.  All of us with younger siblings thought at one time or another that little people were put on this Earth to do one thing………..DRIVE US COMPLETELY MAD!

Fast forward many years.  My brothers and I have now started having children of our own.  My first-born, Beckham, is now an 8 year old mirror image of me (God Bless Him).  His uncles and I do what comes naturally with little boys.  We pick on him incessantly.  He is just now discovering escape tactics, many of which were taught by his YouTube obsession with WWE videos.

However, almost 3 years ago to this date, something profoundly bizarre happened in the Parian family.  A little girl was born.  GASP!!  A little over a year after my daughter, Quinn, was born another female Parian graced up with her presence via my little brother and his wife.  We call that little girl creature, Hollis.  All of a sudden estrogen and heartfelt feelings are rampant in our house.

I sat there watching all of these kids last night at our annual “Back to School Dinner.”  You heard over and over, “Quinn, don’t do that.  Hollis get out of there.  Beckham, I am going to slap a knot on your head if…..”  It occurred to me that a parent’s greatest goal for their children is to keep them safe from harm.  Unfortunately, I have seen and been involved in traumas throughout my life where a child’s safety was impeded upon.  Some of those times the child was okay while other times the consequences were tragic. 

As a personal injury lawyer, my main goal is to keep people safe.  While it is usually too late by the time a client calls, I view my role as that of an enabler letting the whole world know that what occurred was wrong and we will hopefully prevent it from happening again.  The massive GM recall you hear about?  Yep, that was started by one family’s goal to keep people safe from the dangers that took their daughter’s life.  Contact The Parian Law Firm, LLC should you suffer injury as a result of someone else’s lack of safety.  I promise to get the word out, and do everything in my power to prevent it from happening again.
