Surgical
staplers cut and seal blood vessels and tissue, often during minimally invasive
surgeries.
When the
staplers fail to fire, patients have bled profusely and suffered dire injuries
or death. The FDA said stapler malfunctions or misuse can lead to
“bleeding, sepsis, tearing of internal tissues and organs, increased risk
of cancer recurrence, and death.”
GAP Insurance stands for Guaranteed Asset Protection Insurance.
This is insurance that can be purchased at the time you buy an automobile. which provides you with protection in the event your vehicle is totaled out in an accident. It pays any additional difference that is owed between the actual cash value of the vehicle and the balance of your loan.
This is important coverage to consider when buying a vehicle since most vehicles depreciate in value faster than the loan is paid off. New cars lose value the moment they are driven off of the sales lot, 20-30% in the first year.
Med Pay, also called medical payments coverage insurance or medical expense coverage, is offered by most motor vehicle insurance companies as part of your policy options.
Med Pay pays for you and your passengers’ medical bills and expenses if you are hurt or injured in a motor vehicle collision in Oklahoma City. Med Pay is used regardless of who is at fault in the accident.
Med Pay is optional and purchased in increments of $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, $25,000, and sometimes even higher. The coverage is applied per person in the collision, so if five people hurt in a car wreck, the appropriate bills will be paid on each up to the limit you purchase.

Injury Attorney Michael Carr joined Good Day Tulsa to talk about how children can become trapped in a hope chest. Some hope chests, he says, have a locking mechanism that traps the child when the lid closes.
Factors in Product Liability
Understanding a little about the three basic types of product defects can help you determine whether you may have a valid product liability claim:
Design defects: Flaws in a product’s design make it unreasonably dangerous
Manufacturing defects: Faults in the manufacturing process contaminate the product or otherwise make it unreasonably dangerous
Warning defects:
The manufacturer or seller of the product fails to provide adequate
warnings about the product’s risks or instructions for the product’s
proper use
It’s important to note a successful product liability case must establish the product was defective and the product defect caused the resulting injury or illness.
If you or a loved one suffered harm due to a potentially defective consumer good, please call us at 866-510-0580 for your free case consultation or contact us online to tell us your story now.
Carr and Carr Attorneys successfully represented a family who had tragically lost their child due to suffocation in a Lane Hope Chest. This was a tragic and unnecessary loss for their family. We prosecuted their case against the present owner of Lane Furniture for designing and selling the product even though they knew it was unreasonably dangerous.
Our case involved a Hope Chest which we alleged was unreasonably dangerous. The Hope Chest was designed so that a child could be trapped inside it if the lid closed. Further, there were no air openings to allow air to get inside the Hope Chest to allow a trapped child to survive. The self-locking lid was recognized as dangerous by the Consumer Product Safety Commission when the
Hope Chest was recalled in 1996.
We want to hold the makers of hope chests accountable, so they will make safer hope chests.
If you or a loved one have suffered a loss involving a hope chest, we would like to talk to you to discuss how we can help you receive justice for what you and your family have been through.

Did you know that the average number of denied Social Security Disability claims is around 62 percent?
This high rate of initial denial can be
discouraging for individuals struggling with a disability.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) may
deny claims for a number of reasons, including income limits, medical
conditions, incorrect or incomplete filing, and more.
However, you can appeal your denied Social Security Disability claim by filing
an appeal. Filing an appeal can be a confusing and time-consuming process.
There are various levels of appeal that require supporting evidence to make
your claim, which we’re sharing here.
