An Inside View of the Veterans Benefits Claims Process
After ten years of the United States’ military engagement in Iraq and Afghanistan, most Americans have heard about the types of wounds that Veterans are facing-and surviving-with head injuries being the most common. What most people don’t know about is the staggering number of injuries that are taking place.
The Congressional Research Service, a branch of the Federation of American Scientists, issued a report in September 2010, stating that, as of that month, Operations New Dawn, Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom had resulted in a total of 178,000 brain injuries, 87,000 cases of PTSD and 1,600 amputations.

While modern medical technology is saving more lives than ever before in military history, the result is that our men and women who serve overseas are often left with debilitating, if not lifetime, health problems. In addition to the physical and emotional burdens they must carry, returning Veterans frequently find themselves shocked by the financial impact of recovery. In many cases, the veterans may need an advocate, such as a veterans benefits lawyer, to help them pursue the compensation and benefits they deserve.

Dangerous Drugs and Workers Rights Go Hand and Hand March 2012

Shire is taking aim at Johnson & Johnson’s ($JNJ) Concerta. The Irish drugmaker is sponsoring two head-to-head trials pitting its ADHD drug Vyvanse against the J&J product as a treatment for adolescents with the disorder. But it’s not just J&J’s branded product in Shire’s sights. Generic versions of Concerta are already on the market, and if Shire can’t make a better case for Vyvanse, then it stands to lose sales to those cheaper rivals.
Head-to-head trials are always a gamble; just think of AstraZeneca’s ($AZN) Crestor-vs.-Lipitor trial, Saturn, in which the AZ drug failed to beat Pfizer’s ($PFE) on the primary endpoint. Or Merck’s test of Vytorin against Zocor in Enhance, which also backfired. Shire does have some indication Vyvanse could edge out Concerta. It recently wrapped up an 8-week Vyvanse trial with a Concerta reference arm, and even though the study wasn’t designed to compare the two drugs–it was placebo-controlled–“the data do suggest … further investigation,” the company said in a statement. See :
One of the planned trials will be dose-optimized, and the other will use a fixed-dosing schedule. Together, they’ll comprise 1,000 patients, with results forthcoming by the second half of next year. “These studies are important to further our understanding of the possible differences in efficacy between Vyvanse and Concerta in treating adolescents with ADHD,” Dr. Jeffrey Jonas, senior VP of R&D, said in a statement.
For 2011, Vyvanse turned in $805 million in sales. Concerta brought in $1.4 billion in 2010, its last full year without generic competiton. Besides looking for an edge in ADHD, Shire is studying Vyvanse as an add-on treatment for depression, and it’s pushing the drug into new markets, with a regulatory filing in Europe (under the brand name Venvanse) and a launch in Brazil (also as Venvanse).

Do I need an Attorney if I have been rear ended, an examination of car accident in North Carolina

We recently came across a number of our readers that had rear end collisions which have occurred during the winter months. We found a number of people were out of work or had an injury but had no idea what to do.
They said , Clients often ask if they need a lawyer if they are in an accident of have been rear ended. See: car accident lawyer Raleigh, NC
The recent case of Bronson v. Hansel is a clear example of why you need a lawyer .
Trudi Bronson was involved in an auto accident. She had a property damage claim against the driver and she had a neck injury. She accepted $2000.00 after negotiations about the value of the damage to her vehicle.
Although she maintained that the insurance adjuster told her the Release she was given to sign was for the property damage only, the Release contained additional language concerning injuries.
Trudi had an MRI of her neck shortly thereafter and she was found to have a serious neck injury – a herniated disc in her neck. Her injury claim was dismissed by the Judge and the dismissal was affirmed on appeal, even though two of the Judges on the panel believed she had signed the Release under the mistaken belief that she was only Releasing her property damage claim.
We all sign documents without reading the small print (I recall house closings in particular). You have to call an attorney immediately after an accident to protect your rights.
In this case the insurance company could have allowed her to bring her claim. Instead the insurance company chose to take advantage of a very questionable Release obtained from her before she had a lawyer. After an auto accident call a lawyer. The initial consultation is usually without charge and levels the playing field with an insurance company.
