Our team of 12 attorneys and our dedicated staff are here to help you when you need it the most.

We represent young adults or parents of adolescents who became addicted to Facebook and/or Instagram and suffered serious mental health injuries, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and suicidal ideation.

A few of the listed negative experiences tied to social media are; fear of missing out, inadequacy about your life, isolation, cyberbullying, emotional exhaustion, low quality of sleep, and self-absorption. Many of these experiences create a cycle of users returning repeatedly.

Social media platforms are aware of the dangers they are introducing to young adults, the vulnerable and at-risk users to generate profits. Addictive tactics are being used based on rewarding behaviors and tracking focus and engagements to create dopamine like other addictions.

According to Data Reportal: 17 of the largest social media platforms had at least 300 million active users in July 2022. Facebook has 2.936 billion monthly active users and Instagram has a potential advertising reach of 1.44 billion. A 2018 study by Hopelab and Well Being found that 93% of youth aged 14-22 use social media daily. Earthweb states that teens spend an average of three hours a day on social media, while some reported spending up to 9 hours on social media.

If you or someone you love have suffered serious mental health injuries and believe it is tied to the use of social media platforms, we may be able to help. Our experienced Oklahoma and Arkansas attorneys have fought for our clients in courts across the country. We have successfully represented people who have suffered a wide range of devastating injuries.

Lawyers for Tylenol & Acetaminophen Lawsuits in Oklahoma

Tylenol and Acetaminophen:

Studies have shown that taking Tylenol or other private label APAP during pregnancy increases the risk of having a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder and/or ADHD.

In 2018, researchers did a meta-analysis of seven studies involving 132,738 pairs of mothers and children. The analysis revealed a 20% higher risk of autism for children who had prolonged exposure to acetaminophen in the womb.

In 2019, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that children whose cord blood samples contained the highest levels of acetaminophen — the generic name for the drug Tylenol — were roughly three times more likely to be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder later in childhood, compared to children with the lowest levels of acetaminophen in their cord blood.

UCLAHEALTH.ORG

“The causes of ADHD and hyperkinetic disorder are not well understood, but both environmental and genetic factors clearly contribute,” says Beate R. Ritz, MD, PhD, chair of epidemiology at the UCLA Jonathan and Karin Fielding School of Public Health. “We know there has been a rapid increase in childhood neurodevelopmental disorders, including ADHD, over the past decades; it is likely there are environmental components.” The UCLA researchers used the Danish National Birth Cohort, a nationwide study of pregnancies and children, to examine pregnancy complications and diseases in offspring as a function of factors operating in early life. The cohort focuses especially on the side effects of medications and infections.

Why Working With an Attorney Is Always Best After an Injury

If you get injured in Oklahoma, there may be severe financial consequences. Medical bills and lost wages can affect your finances immediately, and long-term care and reduced earning potential can create a monetary burden for years to come. This situation is even more frustrating for individuals who weren’t at fault for their injuries: drunk driving victims, neglected nursing home residents, or users of a defective product.

Generally, injury victims are told to file an insurance claim to receive compensation. But this process can be complicated and stressful, and insurance providers don’t always offer fair settlements. Sometimes, the only way to receive fair financial compensation is through a personal injury lawsuit.

The team of injury attorneys at Carr & Carr has helped many Oklahoma residents seek compensation via insurance claims or lawsuits. We’ll listen to your story and help you get the money you deserve to cover medical bills and other financial expenses. To schedule a free consultation, contact us online or call our OKC office at 405-691-1600.

Inadequate Insurance Settlements

Car or truck accidents are common causes of injuries in Oklahoma. If you’re injured in a car accident, one of the first things you should do is contact your insurance provider, even if you weren’t at fault (or were only partially at fault) for the accident. Under Oklahoma’s modified comparative fault laws, multiple parties can be liable in an accident, which can affect compensation via insurance claims and injury lawsuits.

Regardless of the exact circumstances of the accident, however, filing an insurance claim can often end the same way. The liable party’s insurance provider offers you an extremely low settlement for your injuries. In many cases, these lowball insurance offers aren’t enough to cover your initial medical bills, much less the cost of lost wages, ongoing treatments, and other financial consequences.

Insurance providers are businesses, and they will usually try to get away with paying as little as possible on a claim. Tring to negotiate an insurance settlement on your own can be a stressful experience.

High-Pressure Tactics

Unfortunately, insurance providers often use unsavory tactics to minimize the amount they pay on claims. The adjuster may try to rush through the process, making the victim feel like they must accept the first settlement offer immediately or risk losing the chance of any compensation. Another common tactic is using aggressive, “hard sell” language to try to pressure or guilt victims into accepting a low settlement offer.

It’s essential to remember that an insurance provider is a for-profit company. The adjuster assigned to your case may be a decent person, but their loyalty is to their employer, not to you. When you’re talking to anyone from an insurance company, remember that they’re working in the company’s best interest, not yours.

The Advantages of Hiring an Injury Attorney in Oklahoma

You may think that hiring an attorney automatically means you’ll have to file a personal injury lawsuit. But that’s not the case. A personal injury attorney can provide support and expertise to help you understand your options and let you know whether an insurance settlement offer is fair.

By calling an attorney after your injury, you can gain an ally for the entire claims process. Insurance providers are often more willing to offer high settlements to claimants who have legal representation. And if you do decide to file a personal injury lawsuit, having a lawyer with you from the beginning makes it easier to gather evidence and build a strong case.

Contact Carr & Carr for a Free Consultation

If you or a loved one is injured in a car accident, on someone else’s property, or by a defective product, you may be able to file an insurance claim. However, insurance providers often use high-pressure tactics and lowball settlement offers to limit the amount of money they have to pay to claimants. When you’re recovering from an injury, trying to get a fair insurance settlement after an accident just adds stress to an already difficult time.

At Carr & Carr, we know the ins and outs of insurance tactics. We’re dedicated to helping injured Oklahoma residents get the money they need to cover their medical bills and lost wages. If you’ve been injured, call us to schedule a free consultation. We’ll help you understand what options you have and help you seek fair compensation, whether that means filing an insurance claim or an injury lawsuit.

Individuals who may seek compensation include those who resided, worked, or were otherwise exposed (including in utero exposure) to contaminated water supplied by the United States at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina for not less than 30 days during the period beginning on August 1, 1953, and ending on December 31, 1987. Legal representatives of those individuals who have died or who are not competent may also seek compensation.

The toxic contaminants in that water may have caused conditions which include adult leukemia, aplastic anemia and other myelodysplastic syndromes, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, liver cancer, multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Parkinson’s disease, esophageal cancer, breast cancer, renal toxicity, scleroderma (systemic sclerosis), lung cancer, hepatic steatosis (fatty liver disease), miscarriage, cardiac (heart related) birth defect (in utero only), birth defect/birth injury (in utero only), female infertility, childhood leukemia, childhood non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, or neurobehavioral effects. This list will change as scientific studies progress.

Spray Foam Insulation Exposure Attorneys in Oklahoma

We are learning the dangers of Spray Foam Insulation. Homeowners and contractors are using this material as an environmentally safe insulation. The ease of installation has homeowners excited for an easier project. Polyurethane foam insulation continue to rise in popularity. The manufacturers claim spray foam insulation is safe, non-toxic, and offers advantages over traditional insulation products because it offers a sealed, monolithic insulation material. In fact, spray foam insulation is made of dangerous chemicals that, when mixed improperly, result in immediate and ongoing exposure to carcinogenic fumes and dangerous chemicals.

If you believe you have been exposed to these chemicals during installation of or after installation, we may be able to help. The experienced attorneys at Carr and Carr have helped thousands of clients across the nation with cases involving dangerous products. We offer a free consultation, call today at 866-510-0580 or contact us online to get started now.

Dangers of Spray Foam Exposure

Polyurethane spray foam is a two-part compound that is mixed on site. Two types (open cell and closed cell) are available from many different manufacturers, under more than a dozen product names:

Manufacturers: Icynene Lapolla, BASF, NCFI Polyurethanes, Johns Manville, Dow, Demilec, Huntsman

Open cell spray foam: Enertite, Sealection 500, Agribalance, Demilecapx, Classic, Classic Ultra, Ultra Plus, Foam-Lok, JM Corbond, Sealtite

Closed cell spray foam: Walltite, Heatlock, Pro Seal, Foam-Lok 2000, JM Corbond IV, Insul Star, Insul Bloc

Spray foam insulation has resulted in acute and long-term exposure to toxic and harmful chemical gases. Spray foam insulation has been found to contain formaldehyde, a cancer-causing substance. A powerful chemical reaction takes place when spray foam insulation is mixed onsite that is not free of risk. Installers are required to wear full protective gear while working and ensure ventilation throughout the installation process and for the 24 successive hours.

The Safety Data Sheet also includes warning information indicating a risk for breathing / lung problems, liver, kidney, and nervous system damage, and birth defects from spray foam insulation. In cases where the chemicals were mixed incorrectly, the product served to trap its own hazardous fumes into the home and continued to off-gas over the course of years, creating a gas chamber. Occupants of such homes have developed severe and debilitating health problems, and their homes have been rendered uninhabitable.

What Is a Window Blind Strangulation Lawsuit?

You might not give a second thought to the blinds and other coverings on your home’s windows, but they can be dangerous to your children. Many window blinds have cords that children can easily become tangled in. Sadly, far too many children end up injured or killed by these dangerous household products. According to USA Today, approximately one child every month dies from strangulation by a window blind cord.

At Carr & Carr, we fight against window blind manufacturers whose products injure or kill children. If your family has experienced this devastating situation, contact our team. We are here to listen to your story and help you understand your legal options to pursue compensation.

Your initial consultation is free. You can reach an Oklahoma window blind attorney at 888-238-4282 or contact us online.

How Common Are Injuries and Deaths from Window Blind Cords?

A study by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) using data from 1990 to 2015 indicates that there were approximately 16,827 injuries related to window blinds among children under six years of age. This is an injury rate of 2.7 per 100,000 children. Nearly 12 percent of those injuries were from entanglement and 98.9 percent of those entanglement injuries involved window blind cords. The vast majority of entanglements (98.7 percent) involved the child’s neck, and a significant number (67.1 percent) of entanglement incidents resulted in death.

The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) lists window coverings with cords as one of the top five hidden household hazards. According to the report, these cords can present a danger to children up to 8 years old. The CPSC has recalled over five million window coverings, including blinds and Roman shades.

Are All Window Blinds Dangerous for Children?

The AAP report indicates that window blind cords are most dangerous to toddlers, but they present a risk to all children under six years old. It’s extremely easy for naturally curious toddlers and children to unintentionally tangle themselves in the cords. Additionally, strangulation injuries and deaths are silent and very quick; most incidents occurred when a child was left alone for less than 10 minutes.

According to the AAP, most incidents involved horizontal blinds. In these incidents, the operating cords were involved in about 71 percent of cases, and 17 percent were related to inner cords.

However, other types of window coverings and cords have also caused injuries and deaths. In cases involving vertical blinds, most of the incidents involved the continuous loop cord. The inner cords on the back of Roman shades were responsible for 85.2 percent of incidents involving that type of window covering.

How Does Liability Work in Window Blind Injury or Death Cases?

The dangers of window blind cords have been known for decades, but most safety standards for these products are voluntary. As such, there are many manufacturers that have chosen not to make design changes (e.g., cordless blinds) to comply with these non-mandatory standards.

Many window blinds and shades are still being made and sold with cords that present a strangulation risk to children. When incidents involving these dangerous products occur, it is possible to file a personal injury lawsuit to hold the manufacturer liable.

A liability case may be based on the fact that manufacturers have known about the dangers of their products for decades and have chosen not to implement design changes to improve safety and reduce risk.

What Type of Compensation Can You Sue For?

In a personal injury case, the plaintiff may seek compensation for specific expenses as well as emotional damages. For example, if a child was injured from an entanglement, the lawsuit may seek compensation for the medical bills related to diagnosis and treatment. In the event of a fatal incident, there may be compensation to cover funeral arrangements.

Additional compensation may be related to the child’s and/or parents’ pain and suffering and the child’s lost future wages (if there is a permanent disability). A judge may also assign punitive damages to encourage the manufacturer to make safer products.

Work With an Experienced Window Blind Lawyer

Although window blind manufacturers have known for years that their products are dangerous for children, many of them haven’t adopted new safety measures to prevent strangulation accidents from happening. It’s all too easy for a child to be injured or killed by a window blind cord.

At Carr & Carr, we are dedicated to holding window blind manufacturers responsible for the dangerous products they sell. We also help victims’ families pursue compensation for medical bills and emotional pain and suffering.

Our team of Oklahoma-based window blind attorneys works with clients in Oklahoma, Arkansas, and other states. You can reach us at 888-824-3144 or contact us online.

Michael Carr Discusses Dangerous Toys on Good Day Tulsa

On Christmas morning, every child wants to unwrap the toy they asked Santa to bring them. But the elves buying those toys need to be aware of potential dangers, which might make some toys unsafe.

In a recent interview on Good Day Tulsa, injury lawyer Michael Carr discussed some common hazards parents should be aware of as they finish up their holiday shopping.

“There’s a nonprofit organization called World Against Toys Causing Harm, and every year they put out a list of what they consider to be the most dangerous toys,” explained Carr.

Watch Your Step for Slip & Fall Accidents

It can happen to anyone just about anywhere: a stumble, slip, trip or fall. And if it happens to you on someone else’s property, what should be your next step?

In a recent interview on Good Day Tulsa, injury lawyer Michael Carr explained the concept of liability in a slip and fall case as well as what an individual should do if they find themselves in a slip and fall situation.

“The first thing you should do is try to take some pictures if you can…and in addition to that, tell the store owner about it so there’s some kind of an incident report,” explained Carr.

According to Carr, most property and business owners are not liable for naturally occurring substances like snow or ice that may accumulate in parking lots. However, if the owner attempts to clear away the substance, but does a poor job of doing so, the property or business owner could be held liable if someone slips or falls. Liability can be extremely complex in slip and fall cases, so it’s always best to consult with a local attorney.

“If it’s determined that a business owner is responsible…then the injured person could seek compensation for their medical bills, trips to the hospital…if they missed work they could also seek compensation for that too…” Carr concluded.

If you’ve got questions about a slip and fall accident, don’t hesitate to reach out to the injury lawyers at Carr & Carr for a complimentary consultation at 866-510-0580.

Parking Lot Assaults

We don’t give them much thought, but parking lots can be dangerous places. And business owners have a responsibility to ensure their customers are safe while towing goods to and from their vehicles.

Pool Safety Reminder For Oklahoma Residents

Summer is in full swing and attention on pool safety should be focused, especially for individuals who have a pool in their backyard. More than half of children who drown between the ages of one and four do so in their own home swimming pool.

Keep Your Distance Around Large Trucks

Like most drivers, you’ve probably had to share the road with semi-trucks and other large commercial vehicles. And you’ve probably also been intimidated by the sheer size of these vehicles, especially when they change lanes or swerve unexpectedly.

Defective Pressure Cooker Attorneys in Oklahoma

These days, many kitchens have a pressure cooker, Instant Pot, or multi-cooker. They’ve become popular because they cook foods faster, but saving time might come with a problem…

On Good Day Tulsa, defective product lawyer Michael Carr recently discussed the dangers associated with these common kitchen gadgets.

“We’ve been seeing reports and there have been recalls…because these lids on these pressure cookers fly off and they cause really bad burns,” said Carr.

In November 2020, Sunbeam Products recalled nearly 1 million Crock-Pot Express Pressure Cookers after 99 burn injuries and 119 reports of the lid detaching.

CLICK HERE to find out if your pressure cooker or Instant Pot has been recalled.

If you’ve been injured by a product and you’re injured because that product was defective, then you’re eligible to collect compensation.

“We provide free consultations to anyone who’s been injured by a dangerous product,” concluded Carr.
