Did you know that a cup of coffee could spark a major lawsuit? Let me tell you about the famous Liebeck v. McDonald's case!” In 1992, Stella Liebeck, a 79-year old woman sued McDonalds after she was severely burned by its coffee. She sued McDonald’s for $20,000 after she was hospitalised for eight days for her third-degree burns. Experts testified that McDonald's served scalding hot coffee that can cause third-degree burns in seconds. In fact, knew its coffee was causing serious burns, but it decided that, with billions of cups served annually, this number of burns was not significant. Yikes!

Guess what? In the end, the jury decided to give Liebeck a whopping $160,000 in compensatory damages for her pain, suffering, and medical costs. The Liebeck v. McDonald's case had left several significant impact, such as the importance for manufacturers to provide clear warnings about potential dangers associated with their products, and prompted businesses to reevaluate their practices and consider customer safety as a priority.

Medical errors are now the third leading cause of death in America, responsible for about 10% of all fatalities. That's a staggering statistic, especially considering the trust we place in healthcare professionals. Some politicians push for "tort reform" to limit malpractice suits, but the reality is that there may not be enough claims made for genuine medical errors. It's time to hold the system accountable for our safety.

According to the Texas Department of Transportation, more than 600 people die in Texas every year in large truck crashes. HB 19, which is being sponsored by State Rep. Jeff Leach of Plano, would be disastrous for those victims' families.

SOMETIMES MEDICAL EXPENSES “DON’T COUNT” IN PERSONAL INJURY CASES!

Would you like it if you were in a bad two-car rollover wreck like my client (“Unit 2” in the diagram above), were hurt pretty bad , went to the hospital, received lots of care and an over $16000 bill for hospital services?  And then the car insurance company  of the person that caused the wreck only paid you $1200 for that care? And then you had to give that to Medicaid (that paid that bill in that amount) and you essentially received nothing for that medical expense? That’s what the Texas “tort reform” bill does to punish victims under the law—and is exactly what the Texas Legislature (backed by big insurance companies and corporations) intended to do to wreck victims.  If you hire us EARLY IN THE CASE (at no upfront cost to you) we have ways to help beat that rigged system!

The proposed bill would cap non-economic damages for medical malpractice lawsuits at $350,000. Oppose arbitrary limits on your seventh amendment right to a jury trial.

Personal Injury...A Little Too Personal

Me: Tell me about your pain and suffering.

Client: The day after the accident, I had three bowel movements instead of just two.

Me: I don’t think you can claim damages based on an extra bowel movement.

Client: But it was a scary one.
