Toyota recall

Feb 23

Posted by admin in Auto Accidents, Class Actions, Product Recalls, Wrongful Death | No Comments

Do you get the feeling that there is still more breaking news to come regarding quality control at Toyota? Is this the classic story of a big corporation relying on their bean counters to tell them what is the most economical decision instead of the right decision?

Regardless of the answers to the questions – if you own a recalled Toyota make sure you are bringing it into your local dealership so any and all safety issues can be addressed. What a mess!

If we can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to call one of our Jacksonville personal injury law offices at (800)251-1111 or contact us at your convenience on the internet.

I saw this on the news last night and also received an e-mail from theCrib label Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) about the recent crib recall. Here’s the link to the recall. Three strangulations have been reported due to the faulty crib’s design. It urges parents to stop using the cribs immediately and do not attempt to fix them.

Please contact us by phone or send us an e-mail if you have any questions.

Radiation treatment hazards

Jan 25

Posted by admin in Class Actions, General Law, Personal Injury, Product Liability, Traumatic Brain Injury, Uncategorized, Wrongful Death | No Comments

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

Jan 21

Posted by admin in Aviation Law, Personal Injury, Product Liability, Traumatic Brain Injury, Truck Accidents, Wrongful Death | No Comments

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

Full coverage auto insurance

Jan 5

Posted by admin in Auto Accidents, General Law, Personal Injury, Traumatic Brain Injury, Truck Accidents, Workers' Compensation, Wrongful Death | No Comments

I can’t count the number of times a potential client has called and told me they had full coverage for car insurance only to find out they had the bare bones State of Florida required coverage PIP & PD or as most people say PIP and liability. They just have no idea what that means in reality and are shocked when they learn what it does or doesn’t do.

Sadly, most people don’t learn anything about their auto insurance until AFTER they have been injured in a car accident and they call an attorney.

Don’t wait until it’s too late to learn what you have or worse yet – DON’T have on your auto insurance policy. Call Harrell and Harrell for your free consultation or submit your questions through our website at www.harrellandharrell.com

We would be glad to explain what your insurance company or agent has never taken the time to explain or you have just never bothered listening to the details. Some insurance quotes are cheaper for a reason – less valuable coverage!

Don’t settle for less than you deserve!

Big traffic accident

Dec 22

Posted by admin in Auto Accidents, General Law, Personal Injury, Truck Accidents, Workers' Compensation, Wrongful Death | No Comments

Two semi trucks collided while travelling south on Interstate 95 this morning leaving one of the drivers dead. The truck accident happened just south of the St John’s County / Flagler County line.  Traffic is a mess on 95 and on US 1 near 95.  Only reason I know about the traffic is that my wife is stuck in it trying to get down to Orlando.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the truck driver and his/her family. Just a reminder of how quickly our lives can change. Please be careful on the roads as everyone starts to travel to family and friends for the holidays.

Product Recall – potential amputation hazard

Dec 11

Posted by admin in General Law, Personal Injury, Product Liability, Uncategorized, Workers' Compensation, Wrongful Death | No Comments

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!

Don’t become a statistic – look twice before crossing

Dec 10

Posted by admin in Auto Accidents, General Law, Personal Injury, Truck Accidents, Uncategorized, Wrongful Death | No Comments

Having worked in the personal injury  field for close to 15 years, I wind up paying much more attention to potential hazards whether it be driving in Jacksonville traffic, going out to eat at a local restaurant or just doing some shopping. I have heard about every type of accidental injury story you can think of – some are much more believable than others. People need to be reminded of the need for taking that extra few seconds to make sure what they are about to do won’t result in an accident.

I ran across this Reuters news story this morning which reports that Florida is the most dangerous state for pedestrians. Guess what – Jacksonville and it’s many surrounding communities are ranked in the top four in the state.

I know I don’t want to be one of those accident statistics and assume neither do you. Obviously everyone needs to always look out for themselves but let’s not forget to look out for others. If you see a dangerous situation develop, be proactive by slowing down and warning others of the potential hazard. Next time it might be you trying to cross the street.

How many times have you told a business owner of a spill on the floor, straightened that rug at the entrance of your local grocery store, or picked up an item that fell on the floor? If you do it more often, so will others.

Enjoy the holidays and be careful!
