Monticello, NY (Law Firm Newswire) June 12, 2019 - On June 6, 2019, Sobo & Sobo held an opening ceremony to celebrate the law firm’s new Monticello location, at 533 Broadway, in the heart of Sullivan County.

The Sullivan County Chamber of Commerce, in coordination with the Monticello Chamber of Commerce, organized a ribbon cutting for the event, with many of their members in attendance. Guests included members of the Sullivan County partnership, business owners, honorable judges, family, and friends.

At the celebration, guests toured the new facility, mingled, and enjoyed a wonderful lunch courtesy of Orange County Bank & Trust. Their Senior VP Gregory Sousa shared, “We are happy to be a part of today’s celebration. Gary’s and Greg Sobo’s commitment to be members of the Monticello and greater Sullivan County community is terrific.”

Gary Sobo shared that for him this is in fact a homecoming. In 1972 he was an attorney in Woodbridge not far from the Monticello office. The office is the renovated former home of prominent judge Lawrence H. Cooke.

Judge Cooke was one of the most celebrated politicians and judges in Sullivan County history, rendering several judicial opinions that helped shape New York law including Beach v. Shanley. Judge Cooke wrote the court's opinion that the Shield Law permits a reporter who has been called before a grand jury to withhold the name of confidential sources without being subject to any sanction for criminal contempt.*

Judge Cooke’s picture will hang on the wall of the Sobo & Sobo office, the home in which he lived until he passed away there on August 17, 2000 at the age of 86. Today, several landmarks in Sullivan County have been named after Judge Cooke, including the Lawrence H. Cooke Supreme Courthouse and a local cemetery.

After thanking the attendees for the warm welcome, Attorney Gregory M. Sobo shared his thoughts on the day. “Sobo & Sobo is extremely proud to open an office in Monticello. It is even more exciting to do so in the building Judge Cooke called home. We are honored to continue in his tradition of legal excellence.”

He went on to comment on Sobo & Sobo’s eight regional offices, adding, “Having served so many of the people of Sullivan County we felt it important to provide you with a more convenient location to make it even easier to receive the same exceptional legal representation as available in our other locations.”

Houston, TX (Law Firm Newswire) June 11, 2019 - The stated intention of the current Administration is to cut back on family-based immigration and instead favor “merit-based” immigration. If such a system were to be put into place, it means the United States would give priority to high-skilled immigrants with degrees who speak fluent English, rather than choose immigrants with immediate relatives in the country.

This kind of a merit-based system is similar in nature to how Canada allows immigrants in the country. The problem in the United States is that the proposed changes to the immigration system are relatively scant on details.

While the arguments may seem to make sense on the surface, the fact is that the United States actually needs more low-skilled immigrants due to the fact that the country is in the midst of a significant labor shortage in all industries. It has become increasingly difficult to find construction laborers, hotel-cleaning staff and restaurant cooks.

In March, there were 1.4 million open positions for professionals, but only 811,000 out of work individuals with bachelor degrees seeking work. In the unskilled labour file there were 2.1 million jobs open for low-skilled workers, but only 1.2 million people without degrees were looking for work. That is two available job positions for every out of work person with a high school diploma or less. According to the Department of Labor (DOL), the number of jobs available every month has been higher than the number of people looking for work. This has not happened in at least twenty years.

“The high demand for workers is typically for the kind of jobs undocumented workers are already doing, and have done for years, such as working the fields, running orchards, taking off crops,” explained respected business immigration attorney Annie Banerjee. “If the government ignores this reality, it could make the labor shortage even worse. Furthermore, if the government ignores the reality of workers needed for farming, there is likely going to be a food shortage over time.”

According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) there are approximately 1 million green cards issued every year. Approximately 140,000 are employment based visas, with the remainder granted on the basis of refugee status, the diversity lottery and family connections.

“While we do need to modernize the immigration system, it needs to be done realistically and with an awareness of all aspects of a changing American landscape” said Banerjee.

Tampa, FL (Law Firm Newswire) June 10, 2019 - Brand new children’s concussion guidelines from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) outline that x-rays and blood tests are not recommended for diagnosing a concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI).

The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Neurology have similar guidelines that deal with sport related concussions in child and adult athletes. The CDC’s new guidelines, however, cover concussions as a result of all possible causes, including car accidents, falls and sport head injuries.

It is estimated that at least 1 million children in the nation sustain concussions every year. “That figure may be even higher,” said Robert Joyce, a traumatic brain injury attorney with Joyce & Reyes in Tampa, Florida. “The exact number is not known due to the under-reporting of concussions.”

The CDC's new guidelines for treating and managing children's concussions are the first evidence-based recommendations for diagnosis and treatment. Recommended procedures were chosen based on 25 years of research in managing and dealing with concussions in children.

Concussions are the result of a hit to the head that causes the brain to ricochet from side to side and front to back, damaging brain cells. Repetitive concussions have been found to cause debilitating brain disease in players of football, soccer and other contact sports.

Many people believe that a person needs to be knocked out to have a concussion. That is not the case. Symptoms of a concussion can include: headaches, vomiting, dizziness, sensitivity to light or sound, and unconsciousness.

The new CDC guidelines include:

* Teens, children with existing learning difficulties or a mental illness recover slower than others.
* Blood tests have not been proven to detect concussion and are only useful in research.
* Undiagnosed concussions increase the risk for other incidents and longer recovery times.
* Most symptoms clear within one to three months, however recovery times vary particularly in kids with prior concussions.
* X-rays and CT scans are not effective in detecting a concussion. These tests are done if a physician suspects a more serious head injury,
such as a brain bleed or skull fracture.
* Rest is recommended for the first three days, but not longer. Inactivity may exacerbate symptoms.

The Joyce & Reyes Law Firm, has experience with concussions and traumatic brain injuries to help guide plaintiffs through a claim to get the best financial recovery and the best possible medical care available.

Philadelphia, PA (Law Firm Newswire) June 6, 2019 - A Philadelphia jury awarded more than $80 million to a 75-year-old woman in a transvaginal mesh lawsuit against Ethicon, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ). The verdict was delivered in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas on May 17, 2019 and also included $50 million in punitive damages.

MyPhillyLawyer, a Philadelphia-based personal injury law firm, worked on the case in collaboration with attorneys at Kline & Specter. The verdict marked the eighth time a Philadelphia jury has awarded substantial damages to a plaintiff in a defective mesh case.

“Knowing when and who to partner with on complex matters is more important than you realize,” said Dean Weitzman, managing partner of MyPhillyLawyer. “MyPhillyLawyer received a call from a woman suffering from a defective product. Our team jumped into high gear, gathering all of the necessary information, preserving all of the evidence and, at the right time, partnering with the premier litigation firm handling transvaginal mesh litigation in the United States. Partners at each firm met regularly to discuss and strategize on the litigation.”

Plaintiff Patricia Mesigian of Media, Pennsylvania, suffered multiple injuries after the erosion of an Ethicon transvaginal mesh implant she received in 2008 to treat organ prolapse. She alleged that Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) failed to provide adequate warnings about the safety issues linked to the defective device.

“Our client wisely chose MyPhillyLawyer, and for the same single legal fee, had the attention and work product of two premier law firms,” said Weitzman. “The end result was a six-week trial culminating in an $80 million verdict. It all began at MyPhillyLawyer.”

MyPhillyLawyer has a history of success with a broad range of defective product cases including dangerous medical devices. The Philadelphia law firm has recovered over $500 million for its clients through various personal injury lawsuits.

Tampa, FL (Law Firm Newswire) June 03, 2019 - The Florida Supreme Court declared that a law capping damages in medical malpractice lawsuits to be unconstitutional. The Court issued its decision on the 2003 law in June of 2017 in the case Kalitan v. North Broward Hospital District. The law was signed by then Governor Bush in 2003 purportedly to help lower doctors’ high malpractice insurance premiums.

The law only affected non-economic damages in medical malpractice lawsuits. Non-economic damages are those damages awarded for pain and suffering. This is distinguished against economic damages such as lost wages or medical bills that were caused by the malpractice.

The case decided by the Florida Supreme Court came out of Broward County and involved a patient who, in 2007, was having carpal-tunnel surgery but had their esophagus accidentally perforated. After a lawsuit was filed and a trial, a jury awarded the plaintiff $4 million dollars. However, the medical malpractice cap law reduced that award by over $2 million dollars. At this point the plaintiff appealed the award reduction.

The Florida Supreme Court declared the law unconstitutional based upon the argument that it violates the equal-protection rights in Florida’s state constitution. Specifically, the Court stated that, “because the arbitrary reduction of compensation without regard to the severity of the injury does not bear a rational relationship to the Legislature's stated interest in addressing the medical malpractice crisis.”

Tampa attorney Lillian Reyes-Joyce, Esquire commented, “This ruling will help the thousands of individuals who are harmed by medical malpractice every year. It will also help cut down the number of medical errors and make seeking treatment safer.”

For those who have been injured due to a medical error, do not hesitate to contact the lawyers at Joyce & Reyes at (813) 251-2007. The initial consultation is free.

Tampa, FL (Law Firm Newswire) May 28, 2019 - A federal judicial panel has decided that more than 640 pending lawsuits accusing 3M Company of knowingly providing defective combat earplugs to the U.S. military will be consolidated in the Northern District of Florida. The earplugs allegedly caused hundreds of service members to suffer hearing problems.

Veterans and other service members alleged that 3M’s dual-ended Combat Arms Earplugs had a defective design that failed to adequately protect their hearing during combat and weapons training. The flaw caused them to experience hearing loss and high-pitched ringing in the ears, a condition called tinnitus.

“Veterans relied on the earplugs to keep their hearing safe from the loud noises they are often exposed to during military service,” commented Florida veterans lawyer David W. Magann. “They had a reasonable expectation that the devices were doing what they were supposed to rather than harming their hearing. The affected service members deserve compensation for 3M’s mistake and failure to adequately warn them of the defects.”

The Department of Veterans Affairs has identified tinnitus as the most common disability among veterans. More than 2.7 million individuals receive benefits for the hearing condition.

The lawsuits follow a July 2018 settlement between the U.S. Department of Justice and 3M over allegations that the company sold earplugs with hazardous design problems to the military from 2003 to 2015. The faulty earplugs exposed more than 800,000 service members to hearing damage. 3M agreed to a $9.1 million settlement to resolve the lawsuit. However, the company did not admit liability.

The U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation selected Judge Margaret Casey Rodgers of the Northern District of Florida to preside over the multidistrict federal cases and accommodate the national scope of the lawsuits. Rodgers is also a military veteran.

The panel said that centralizing the lawsuits in one court would be convenient for all parties involved and facilitate efficient litigation. The cases involve common issues including the testing, design, marketing and sale of the earplugs. 3M originally sought for the lawsuits to be consolidated in Minnesota, where the manufacturing company is headquartered.
