Do you work in the farming industry or in mining, construction or wrecking and demolition?  Do you have a chronic dry cough, shortness of breath, fever, weight loss, chest pain or nails with a bluish tint?  If so, you could have Silicosis. 

            Silicosis is a serious disease involving the lungs.  The main risk factor is exposure to crystalline dust.  This can be inhaled either by working at one of the jobs I mentioned or as a bystander working next to someone.

            If you fall into one of these categories, you need the advice of someone who can assist you in receiving the best medical care to diagnose and treat this ailment as well as compensation for time lost from work.  You need an attorney who specializes in toxic chemicals and workplace injuries.  If you think that your company’s insurance carrier will surely do the right thing and take care of you, you are probably way off base.  You need to talk to someone who has your best interests at heart and will fight for you.  Visit our website at www.dreamlegalteam.com.  You can fill out an online consultation form or engage in a webchat.  Don’t wait.  Get the help you need now.  Visit my website at www.dreamlegalteam.com.  You’ll be glad you did.

           With the price of gas spiraling out of control, many Americans are turning to public transportation to get them back and forth to work.  One of the most convenient forms of public transportation is the bus.    In addition to the savings at the gas pump, you don’t have to worry about parking, which can be difficult and expensive. 

                In addition, our children travel by bus to school, field trips, sporting events, etc. 

                For the most part, this is a safe way to travel.  However, accidents do happen.  There can be many reasons for a bus accident such as driver mistakes, equipment failure or a negligent third party.  When a bus is involved in an accident, there are always multiple injuries.  Some of these injuries can be minor but some can be life threatening or fatal.

                Did you know that some buses are owned by private companies but others can be owned by a government entity such as a township, county or state?  In these cases, you must place the entity on written notice that you will be making a claim within a short period of time. 

                If you have been involved in an accident involving a bus, you need to speak to an attorney who is familiar with these procedures and who will fight for your rights.  Who will pay your medical bills?  What happens if you lose time from work? 

                Our firm has been representing the victims of bus accidents for over 25 years.  If you, or a member of your family, have been the victim of a motor vehicle accident, I invite you to visit my website at www.dreamlegalteam.com.  You can fill out an online consultation form or engage in an online chat.  Again, the website is www.dreamlegalteam.com.  Don’t wait.

          We’ve all heard the horror stories.  A man goes into the hospital for amputation of his right leg.  The surgeon operates on the left leg.   The man wants to know how this could happen.  What is he going to do now?  Or, how many of us know a person who received the wrong diagnosis from their doctor and didn’t receive the proper care for their condition?  Sometimes these victims are lucky, they live.  Many times they don’t.  They leave behind grieving family members who want and deserve answers.  Medical malpractice comes in many different forms but it is always painful for its victims. 

            If you, or a family member, have been the victim of malpractice, do you know if you can make a claim?  Do you know the time limits involved?  Don’t feel bad if you don’t know.  Most people don’t and the requirements and time limits vary from state to state.  Some states even put caps on the amount you can receive if you are the victim of medical malpractice. 

            If you think that you were a victim of malpractice, check out my website at www.dreamlegalteam.com.  Feel free to fill out an online consultation form or engage in an online webchat.  You need to act now.  You need an experienced attorney to answer your questions and navigate you through this legal maze.  Again, the website is www.dreamlegalteam.com.  Don’t wait.

           Asbestos has been used for many years because of its resistance to heat and most chemicals.  Because of these properties, asbestos fibers have been used in the manufacture of a wide range of goods such as: roofing shingles, paper products, cement products, ceiling tiles, floor tiles, textiles, coatings, automobile brakes, clutches and transmissions.

                Continued exposure to asbestos can increase the amount of fibers that remain in the lungs.  This could cause potentially fatal diseases. 

                Asbestosis is a serious, long-term disease.  The inhalation of asbestos fibers irritate the tissues in the lung and cause scarring.  The scarring makes it difficult for oxygen to get into the blood.  Symptoms include: shortness of breath, persistent chest pains, anemia and hoarseness.

                People who have worked in the mining, milling or manufacture of asbestos, have a greater probability of developing lung cancer.  The symptoms are: coughing, a change in breathing, shortness of breath, persistent chest pains, hoarseness and anemia.

                Mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer that may not show up for years after exposure to asbestos.  It is found in the membrane (thin lining) of the lung, chest, abdomen and heart and is nearly always linked to asbestos exposure.

                If you, or someone you know, have these symptoms, the first thing to do is to call your doctor.  Don’t wait.  Once you have a diagnosis, you need to speak to an attorney who is experienced and knowledgeable in asbestos injuries.  You need someone who will fight for your rights.  I invite you to visit our website at www.dreamlegalteam.com.    You can fill out an online consultation form or engage in an online chat.  Again, the website is www.dreamlegalteam.com.

           Did you know that nearly 1 ½ million people sustain a traumatic brain injury each year in the United States?  Of that 1 ½ million, 50,000 people will die and 235,000 will be hospitalized. 

                The Brain Injury Association of America defines a traumatic brain injury as “..a blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the function of the brain…”

                Traumatic brain injuries can occur in a multitude of ways.  Recently, we have seen many articles on the evening news about the effects blasts have on our military personnel who are stationed in war zones.  However, here at home, we are not invulnerable to these terrible injuries.  Traumatic brain injuries can be sustained in a fall, motor vehicle accident, assault or simply by being hit in the head by an object. 

                Although some of these injuries can be mild, many are life changing for the recipient.  Hospital and doctor bills can be devastating.  Some victims will require care for the rest of their lives.  The emotional impact on these victims and their families can be immeasurable. 

                If you, or someone you know, have been the victim of a traumatic brain injury,  you need to speak to an attorney who is experienced and knowledgeable in this area of the law.  You need someone who will fight for your rights and work diligently to obtain the proper medical attention and financial compensation for you.   I invite you to visit our website at www.dreamlegalteam.com.    You can fill out an online consultation form or engage in an online chat.

           You have probably heard a lot recently on the news about the popular cholesterol medicine, Zetia.  Within the last few months, studies have raised questions about whether Zetia, when taken with statins like Lipitor, Crestor or Zocor, can cause liver damage.  In addition, there is no evidence that Zetia can reduce heart attacks and strokes, as cholesterol drugs are meant to do.  The makers of these drugs never published the results of these tests.

            If you have been taking Zetia, or its sister drug, Vytorin, you need straight answers to your questions.  You won’t get them from the manufacturers of these drugs.  You need an attorney who specializes in pharmaceutical claims.

            Picture this: You are in your local grocery store.  You are pushing a shopping cart in the frozen food aisle.  In the blink of an eye, you are on the floor.  You hurt.  You are wet.  A worker from the store comes over and asks what happened?  What do you say?  Do you tell them you don’t know…it just happened so fast?  The worker takes your information and leaves.  You go home.  You are embarrassed about what happened.  You are still sore but surely that will go away.  When it doesn’t, you call your doctor and go in to get checked out.  Your doctor orders x-rays and m.r.i.’s.  You are worried.  Who is going to pay for this?  Even if you have health insurance, there are bound to be co-pays and deductibles.  Now you start thinking that you should call the store where you fell.  Surely, they will help with your bills.  First you are ignored.  Finally, an insurance adjuster calls to see how you are and let you know that they will not be paying your bills.  What should you do?

            You need someone who has seen this before, over and over again.  You need an attorney experienced in slip and fall accidents.  DON’T WAIT.  Surveillance tapes get taped over.  Leaky freezer cases get fixed.  Store employees leave and seem to disappear.  You need an attorney who will get the evidence you need immediately and will help you get your bills paid and get the compensation you deserve. 

Our firm has been representing slip and fall victims for over 25 years.  In that time, we have seen hundreds of slip and falls cases with injuries ranging from simple back sprains to injured knees and fractured hips. If you or a member of your family have been the victim of a slip and fall accident,  I invite you to visit my website at www.dreamlegalteam.com.  You can fill out an online consultation form or engage in an online chat.  Again, the website is www.dreamlegalteam.com.  Don’t wait.

You come home from work and prop your feet up to watch the evening news.  A story comes on about a young boy who was killed while visiting a friend.  The friend’s father had a gun which wasn’t locked up.  The friend is heartbroken.  He didn’t mean for this to happen.  They were playing and “BANG”, the gun went off.     The young boy fell to the ground!  It was all so quick!

            How many times have you seen similar stories on television?  Too many, I would guess.  A senseless loss all because a gun was left where children could find it.  What do the parents of the young boy do?  They probably didn’t have life insurance on their son.  Everyone knows you don’t need life insurance on children.  They are supposed to grow up, go to college, get married and live a long, healthy life.  But these parents need to pay for a funeral and funerals are not cheap. 

            If you know someone who has lost a relative due to a firearms accident, the biggest favor you can do them is to steer them in the direction of an attorney who can help them through the legal and financial difficulties which come out of this tragic situation.
