Radiation treatment hazards

Here’s a link to a lengthy NY Times article that attorney Charlie Douglas forwarded to me. His comment to me was that it was absolutely horrifying and I would agree after reading the recent article.

With advances in modern technology comes some unknown risk but to know that the risks have been knowingly hidden from the public is flat out wrong and immoral.

Big Toyota recall

Do you own one of these cars or trucks? Add the 2010 Toyota Prius to the list for bad brakes

• 2009-2010 RAV4
• 2009-2010 Corolla
• 2009-2010 Matrix
• 2005-2010 Avalon
• 2007-2010 Camry
• 2010 Highlander
• 2007-2010 Tundra
• 2008-2010 Sequoia

If so, contact Toyota because they just recalled 2.3 million of them for “isolated incidents of the accelerator sticking”.

That could be bad news! Check it out before you wind up the victim of a car accident or just a scary white knuckle ride.

If we can help, please contact us at 800-251-1111

Product Recall – potential amputation hazard

Amputation hazards always catch my attention, too.  I just wanted to quickly share this recall information from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) that was issued yesterday.

Wintertime is a good time to do the heavy duty yard work because the grass isn’t  growing a foot a week like it did here in Jacksonville this summer. Plus it’s nowhere near as hot and humid. Do you have a dead tree in the yard?  Have you been wanting to pull out the old chain saw and bring that tree to the ground before it lands on you, your house or the neighbor’s house? Have you ever considered buying or renting a log splitter? As with any piece of power equipment, extra precaution and forethought is always a good idea when everything is working right.  What happens when it breaks or has a hidden design defect?

Recalled product

Recalled product

This particular log splitter has a potential defect that could cause amputation of a finger, limb or even death.

Contact one of the experienced trial attorneys at Harrell and Harrell if you were injured by a faulty product or even if you just have questions.

Be safe and enjoy the holidays!

Car Accident – Who you gonna call?

Car accident – Who you gonna call?

 

Ghostbusters? Ask Gary? Ask Dave? What happened to Ask Kobe?

 

They come and they go like ships passing in the night. Some have flashy spokespeople and cute sayings that catch your attention, some have catchy phone numbers but what are they really?  Who will you wind up with and do they really care about you or just the auto insurance you come in with?

 

Most are just referral middleman out to make the almighty dollar off of your tragic experience. Some are medical clinics while some are actual attorneys that practice on the other end of the state and will fly in to make you their client but will they fly back when you have other questions and concerns?

 

 Don’t make things worse – call an experienced local Jacksonville trial attorney that has a name you can trust and the resources to represent you against the mega insurance companies – they aren’t your good neighbor and definitely don’t want you in good hands. That boils things down to a handful of local Jacksonville lawyers that are truly out to represent the people of Jacksonville.

 

The smaller personal injury firms or solo practitioners of Jacksonville warn you against going to the bigger law firms like Harrell & Harrell, PA by claiming we will treat you as just another number. We do not and will not treat our clients that way. We have a large staff and have designed our operating systems to focus primarily on auto accident injury claims so we can give our clients, YOU, the personal touch they expect. We understand that your injury claim is your ONLY claim whether it is big or small. Personal injury is what we do – it’s that simple.  They may also claim that you may never see the attorney or lawyer that is handling your file because we are so big. Again untrue, our experienced and caring attorneys and their staff are available to you from start to finish and sometimes beyond. They are just a call or e-mail away 24 hours a day.

 

The attorneys and staff at Harrell & Harrell, PA  also understand that word of mouth advertising is much more effective and affordable so our primarily goal is to handle every injury claim that comes into our office to the best of our ability so you leave our office knowing you made the right choice in the beginning.

 

Hopefully you will refer us a friend, family member or co-worker when they are injured and need an experienced trial lawyer.

 

Don’t leave it to chance – Contact Harrell & Harrell today for your free consultation.

Don’t let the turkey be an accident!

The season is upon us. So may things to do and accomplish….. I’m already dreading the honey-do’s of shopping and picking up the last minute items. Traffic is a mess and everyone is a little stressed trying to accomplish the same chores. Let’s all be careful and please don’t go to the mall when it’s my turn to go.

Seriously - Thanksgiving is a week away. Better go looking for Tom the Turkey so he has time to thaw. Here are some food safety tips  to make the meal a success and to make sure your family and friends don’t remember the meal for the wrong reasons.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Harrell and Harrell, PA.

Remember to not drink and drive and use a designated driver! DUI accidents are never a good thing.
