If you live in the Southern California area, then you no doubt have seen 1-800-GET-THIN billboards and advertisements promoting the LapBand surgical procedure that purports to help an individual lose weight.  Well, so did the Food and Drug Administration, who took issue with the ads, saying that they were misleading.  They sent the company behind the ads a letter in December telling them the things they would need to do to make their ads compliant with FDA standards, and in January, the ad company submitted a list of potential corrections.

The FDA has now said that these corrections were not sufficient.  In a new letter, the agency has said that, among other things, the ads must include a statement that says getting the LapBand surgery may result in injury or death.  The marketing team behind the ads has been ordered by the FDA to take down all ads immediately.  If they don’t comply, then they could be in danger of having products seized, facing injunctive action, or incurring financial penalties.

The FDA’s new stipulations concern ads across television, radio, and the internet, as well as billboards.  The marketing campaign team has said that they have canceled all broadcast and print advertising and that they will work with officials to ensure that any new ads follow set guidelines.

I know as a San Jose personal injury lawyer how important truthful advertising is.  That’s why I hope as a personal injury attorney in Bakersfield that the people behind these ads and any others do what they can to make sure consumers aren’t being misled.

According to several news agencies across the state have demonstrated that a passenger in a semi-truck was killed in a recent accident.

The articles say that a 41-year-old man from Lenoir, N.C. was traveling on the eastbound lanes of Highway 44 on a semi-truck with a trailer just west of Highway 36 when the vehicle suddenly started to drift off the roadway. According to the troopers who responded to the scene, the vehicle proceeded to drive down an embankment where it crashed against multiple trees.

After the crash, the vehicle overturned and as a result, the passenger was ejected. According to the authorities, the man who was thrown out of the vehicle was in the sleeper berth of the truck.

The California Highway Patrol troopers reportedly pronounced the man dead at the scene as a result of the serious injuries he sustained.

The driver did not sustain any wounds.

At this moment, I, a Glendale personal injury lawyer understand that the California Highway Patrol is investigating this crash and should have more details regarding this accident in the near future. I urge you as driver in the state of California to keep it in mind that drowsy driving could be fatal. Whenever you feel you’re too sleepy to continue, pull over to a safe rest area and take a nap or ask for a passenger to take the wheel.

Any personal injury lawyer Mountain View can tell you that you could avoid similar accidents by focusing on the road and respecting the limits of your body.

The state of Delaware has initiated a new public safety education campaign designed to discourage pedestrian commuters from sending or reading text messages while walking. The program, called Walk Safe, has begun posting signs on sidewalks throughout the state that say “Look up. Drivers aren’t always looking out for you.” Distracted driving caused by cellphone use has been the subject of many recently passed laws and proposed bills throughout the country, but the scrutiny of American legislators has recently begun to turn toward inattentive pedestrians. Several cases of distracted walking deaths and severe injuries have been reported in the national news in recent years, including a young pedestrian who fell through an open sewer grating and a woman who fell into a river, both while sending or reading text based messages on a handheld communication device. Law enforcement officers in Fort Lee, New Jersey, have begun ticketing pedestrians for reckless walking on city streets and sidewalks. The fine for an inattentive walking citation is $85. According to a traffic safety study conducted by researchers Ohio State University, more than 1,000 pedestrians visited emergency room across the United States in 2008 for the treatment of injuries incurred from using handheld communication devices while walking.

As an Oakland auto accident lawyer, I hope that the increased attention being given to distracted motorists and pedestrians will ultimately lead to safer roadway travel for everyone. If you or someone you love has been harmed in a collision caused by inattention, please consider contacting an Oakland personal injury attorney.

According to multiple news agencies across the state, a vehicle hit a 49-year-old man from San Diego while he was walking along the 10 Freeway at Soto Street.

The wreck report issued by the California Highway Patrol has revealed that the accident was first reported about 8 p.m. and according to the troopers who responded to the scene, the pedestrian was found in the center divider of the eastbound lanes of the 10 in Boyle Heights. The vehicle responsible for the crash hadn’t stopped after hitting the man.

Officers from the CHP claimed that the man was reportedly dead when they arrived at the scene.

At this moment, the accident is being investigated. The California Highway Patrol is investigating this crash and should have more detailed information in the near future.

It’s my hope as a Campbell personal injury lawyer that the family of the man killed in this tragic accident is receiving all the attention and support they deserve during this tragic moment of their lives.

A massive vehicle fire prompted numerous officials to report to the scene of the accident, and luckily, no one was hurt because of the blaze.

It all took place at some point last night.  A big rig carrying a load of cherries and apples was driving down Highway 58 in Kern County when the vehicle reportedly caught fire for unknown reasons.  The driver of the tractor trailer noticed the blaze when he was in the process of shifting gears.  In an attempt to avoid disaster, the driver pulled the flaming vehicle over to the side of the road near Hart Flat.

A witness in the area reported the fire.  By the time ten Kern County firefighters arrived on the scene, the trailer and the cab were completely engulfed by flames, and brush close to the semi had also caught fire, according to the Kern County Fire Department.

The highway had to be closed on the eastbound side for about a half an hour so officials could bring the fire under control.  Kern County Environmental Health and the California Highway Patrol also responded to the scene.

I’m glad as a San Jose car accident lawyer to see that no one was injured in this incident.  If the semi driver hadn’t noticed the fire, things could have turned out much worse.  I wish as a personal injury attorney in San Jose that more accidents like this would end without injuries or fatalities.

An official accident report issued by the California Highway Patrol has revealed that a 65-year-old woman was injured as a result of an incident with a bicycle.

According to several news sources, a bicyclist hit the woman while she was walking near Chimney Rock and Lake California. The tropers officials who responded to the scene claim that the triathlon bicyclist wasn’t able to avoid the collision since the woman had her back to the rider prior to stepping into the bike’s path.

The pedestrian lost consciousness as a result of the accident and a trauma alert was promptly issued.

According to one account the bicyclist got up and checked on the pedestrian but officials directing the traffic encouraged the bicyclist to continue with the race since they would take care of the woman.

The authorities arrived at the scene and transported the woman to the hospital for treatment.

No charges were pressed and the bicyclist continued with the race.

It’s my hope as a San Jose personal injury lawyer that the woman recovers quickly from the injuries she sustained in this incident. I urge pedestrians to keep it in mind they too must watch out for the traffic at all times. Most of the times, drivers and riders are not paying attention, which could lead to a serious accident if a pedestrian steps into the traffic abruptly. You should always use the crosswalk, observe and follow the road signs.

Keep it in mind that if you or a loved one is ever injured in an accident caused by a distracted or inattentive driver or biker, please consider consulting with a personal injury attorney and ask for a free evaluation of your case.

According to multiple news agencies across the nation, Walmart has decided to recall 21,000 units of inflatable Banzai in-ground pool water slides after a tragic accident associated with this product resulted in a fatality.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, during a regular use the slide can deflate unexpectedly, which could allow the user to hit the ground underneath the slide. This problem could result in a serious injury.

The official recall alert issued by the federal agency states that the recalled slide is also unstable and could topple over in both still and windy conditions. Due to the recent report of an accident that caused fatal neck injuries to an inflatable water slide user and the fact that the product doesn’t carry adequate warnings and instructions, all units of this product are being recalled and should be refrained from being used until further notice.

If you or a loved one has one of these recalled products in their possession, contact the manufacturer as soon as possible to return the item and have a full refund in return.

According to local news agencies, the California Highway Patrol has reported an accident that might have been caused by a high-speed chase.

The official release issued by the CHP shows that an officer attempted to pull a car over for driving too slow along the northbound lanes of the Highway 101 after weaving in and out of lanes. The vehicle stopped and as soon as the trooper approached the stopped vehicle, the motorist started the engine and took off again. The chase began and continued along the 101. At times, according to the official report, the vehicle being chased reached speeds of 100 miles an hour, putting the lives of other drivers at risk.

According to the information found in the accident memo issued by the authorities, the vehicle only stopped after the motorist attempted to get off on the Monterey Street Exit but due to the vehicle’s high rate of speed, it crashed and was unable to continue to flee from the authorities.

The California Highway Patrol troopers who responded to the crash claim that the vehicle left 220 feet skid marks on the Monterey Street off-ramp.

At this moment, the authorities are investigating this case and no other details have been promptly revealed.

As a Long Beach car accident lawyer, I’m sincerely glad that nobody was severely injured as a result of this accident.
