Many businesses have suffered losses as a result of COVID-19. Most all businesses have a form of "Business Interruption" coverage that is designed to cover losses due to unforeseen circumstances. This virus is a prime example of an event that would trigger this type of coverage, but insurance companies are already denying coverage for this type of claim. I will be glad to speak to any business owner who has received a denial communication from their insurer.

Retaliation may occur in the workplace when an employer punishes an employee for an action that is permitted by law, but which the employer wants to discourage. For example, an employer may retaliate against an employee who makes harassment or discrimination complaints, who reports fraud in the workplace, or who participates in an investigation within the workplace. Some employers also retaliate against employees who report workplace injuries to authorities. If you have been a victim or workplace retaliation, I am here to help.

Vehicle crashes - particularly single-vehicle accidents that involve injuries that seem more serious than the crash would warrant - deserve a closer look. Very often a defective product is to blame for catastrophic injuries. Auto products to look at include airbags, seat belts, seat backs, roof strength, tires and firewalls.

For nearly four decades, tens of millions of consumers have used Zantac as an antacid to help treat symptoms of acid reflux. However, the public is now learning that studies have long shown that Zantac is linked to cancer in humans. I will investigate claims for those who have used Zantac and have subsequently been diagnosed with cancer.

I would like to investigate any claim related to defective combat earplugs manufactured by 3M Company. The earplugs were issued to thousands of military personnel serving in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan and used in training exercises. Numerous soldiers are now complaining of permanent hearing loss. Other soldiers have complained of tinnitus, commonly referred to as "ringing" in the ears.

Mesothelioma is a highly aggressive form of cancer usually affecting the lining of the lungs, the abdominal cavity, or the lining of the heart. The only known cause of mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos. I will investigate any case involving this rare form of cancer.

Roundup is the most widely used herbicide in the world. The primary ingredient in Roundup is glyphosate which has been linked to a type of cancer called non-Hodgkin lymphoma. I would like to investigate any case involving non-Hodgkin lymphoma related to the commercial application of Roundup/glyphosate.

I will investigate whistleblower claims of government fraud ranging from Medicare/Medicaid to government contracts. Under the False Claims Act the whistleblower is entitled to a percentage of the recovery. Common schemes involve double-billing for the same service, inaccurately coding services, and billing for services not performed.

Babies born addicted to opioids suffer painful symptoms of withdrawal and are more likely to suffer long-term complications. I will investigate any case on behalf of a child who was born addicted to opioids after his/her mother was prescribed such drugs before or during pregnancy.

Talc is ground to make talcum powder which is used to absorb moisture and is widely available in various products including baby powder and adult products including body and facial powder. Talc products used regularly in the ge***al area increase the risk of ovarian cancer. I would like to review any case where a woman has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer after regular use of talcum powder.

Under the law, owners of establishments owe a duty to guests to ensure that the premises are reasonably safe from anticipated dangers. These cases usually take the form of shootings, fights, stabbings, or other physical violence (including sexual assault) where injury or death occurs.

Premises liability claims can take many forms, including when injury or death results when a building or structure collapses, merchandise falls, during swimming pool accidents, due to poor lighting, falling debris, unsecured fixtures and furniture that falls over, unsecure drainage that creates drowning or fall hazards, slippery surfaces, and inadequate maintenance. I have successfully handled a number of premises liability cases.
