If you drive US-52 or US-176 through Goose Creek, you need to read this. 🚗

The interchange where these two corridors meet is one of the most dangerous stretches in all of Berkeley County — and it's not an accident. Heavy commercial traffic, high speeds, and a constant mix of tractor-trailers and passenger vehicles create a collision risk that claims lives and changes them every year.
Our latest blog breaks down exactly why crashes spike here, what drivers face on this corridor, and what your rights are if you or someone you love has been hurt.

Charleston Race Week brought thousands of vessels onto the harbor — and the weeks after are when the incidents we never hear about start to surface.

If you or someone you know was injured on Charleston Harbor, the Intracoastal Waterway, or Shem Creek during or after Race Week, SC law gives you a 10-day window to file your accident report with SCDNR. Missing it won't kill your claim — but the defense will use it against you.

What you do in the first 24–48 hours matters more than most people realize. Matt Marin breaks down exactly what SC law requires and what steps protect your right to recover.

🚨 Dallas Drinking Water: Is Your Tap Water Toxic? 🚨

Shocking news: The Dallas Water Utility detected toxic PFAS chemicals at the Bachman Water Treatment Plant on October 16, 2023. PFOA levels hit 6.3 ppt and PFOS reached 4.4 ppt—exceeding the EPA’s safe limit of 4 ppt set in 2024 (not enforceable until 2031). Nationally, 45% of U.S. tap water is contaminated with PFAS, affecting over 158 million Americans, per EPA data. This isn’t just a local issue—it’s a crisis.

What Are PFAS?

PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are man-made “forever chemicals” used in products like non-stick cookware and firefighting foam. They don’t break down in the environment or your body, accumulating over time and posing serious health risks.

The Health Risks You Need to Know:

Kidney Cancer: PFAS builds up in your organs, increasing your risk. Learn more: https://www.marinbarrettlaw.com/pfas-kidney-cancer

Testicular Cancer: Studies, like a 2023 report from the National Cancer Institute, link PFOS to higher testicular cancer risk. Details here: https://www.marinbarrettlaw.com/pfas-testicular-cancer

Ulcerative Colitis: Research shows a 30% higher risk of this chronic gut disease in exposed populations. Read more: https://www.marinbarrettlaw.com/pfas-ulcerative-colitis

🚨 BREAKING: New Jersey Secures $450 Million Settlement from 3M Over PFAS Water Contamination 🚨

In one of the largest PFAS-related legal victories to date, the State of New Jersey has reached a $450 million settlement with chemical giant 3M. The lawsuit accused 3M of polluting public drinking water with toxic PFAS chemicals—also known as “forever chemicals” due to how long they persist in the environment and in the human body.

💧 These man-made chemicals have been used in firefighting foam, nonstick cookware, water-repellent fabrics, food packaging, and industrial processes for decades. But as New Jersey and countless other states have discovered, PFAS exposure through contaminated drinking water poses a serious threat to public health.

🏥 Scientific research has linked PFAS exposure to multiple life-altering diseases, including:

✅ Kidney Cancer - https://www.marinbarrettlaw.com/pfas-kidney-cancer
✅ Ulcerative Colitis - https://www.marinbarrettlaw.com/pfas-ulcerative-colitis
✅ Testicular Cancer - https://www.marinbarrettlaw.com/pfas-testicular-cancer
✅ Thyroid Disease
✅ Liver Damage

New Jersey’s lawsuit alleged that 3M knowingly allowed these toxic substances to contaminate the state’s water systems, putting thousands—if not millions—of residents at risk.

📌 At Marin, Barrett, and Murphy Law Firm, we’re currently investigating legal claims for individuals who:

• Lived or worked near contaminated water supplies
• Drank PFAS-contaminated water for extended periods
• Were later diagnosed with serious illness linked to PFAS exposure

If you or a loved one have been affected, you may be entitled to compensation. We are actively filing lawsuits across the country to hold chemical manufacturers accountable.

🚨 ATTENTION RISPERDAL USERS: BREAST CANCER RISK 🚨

Did you know that Risperdal, a commonly prescribed antipsychotic, may increase breast cancer risk in women by up to 62%? This alarming statistic comes from a 2022 study that highlights the potential dangers of this drug, especially when prescribed off-label for conditions like mood disorders.

Risperdal, also known as risperidone, is FDA-approved to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and irritability associated with autism. However, it has been widely prescribed off-label to women and teenage girls for mood-related conditions such as borderline personality disorder, ADHD, and other behavioral issues. Studies indicate that women are disproportionately more likely to receive these off-label prescriptions, putting them at greater risk.

The connection between Risperdal and breast cancer stems from the drug's effect on prolactin, a hormone that can stimulate breast tissue growth. When prolactin levels remain elevated over time, it may promote abnormal cell growth, potentially leading to breast cancer. Research published in Toxicology Reports noted a 59% increased risk for users of prolactin-elevating antipsychotics, while a Swedish study reported a 47% increased odds of breast cancer after 5 or more years of use.

In a groundbreaking lawsuit filed in April 2025, Bridgett Brown took on pharmaceutical giants Johnson & Johnson and Janssen Pharmaceuticals, alleging that they concealed evidence about Risperdal's cancer risks. This case, filed in Alameda County Superior Court (Case No. 25CV119808), accuses the manufacturers of knowingly hiding the dangers of drug-induced hyperprolactinemia since the 1990s.

At Marin, Barrett, and Murphy Law Firm, we're committed to seeking justice for women affected by Risperdal. Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to holding Big Pharma accountable and securing the compensation you deserve. If you or a loved one took Risperdal and later faced a breast cancer diagnosis, you may be entitled to significant compensation.
