Our Swanton, Ohio products liability lawyers handle cases involving misleading prescription drugs on a regular basis. 

There has been recent controversy surrounding the birth control pill Yaz, as the Food and Drug Administration warns Bayer, the maker of Yaz, that their commercials are misleading. 

In two separate Yaz commercials, the consumer could think that Yaz birth control treats a common problem affecting women, premenstrual syndrome, or PMS. In reality, the pill only treats a separate and totally different problem, PPD. 

The commercials also state that Yaz can clear up adult acne, which is also not true, according to the FDA.

More importantly, Yaz has been found to cause a number of serious health problems for women taking the once-daily birth control pill.

Our Findlay, Ohio fatal bus accident attorneys have seen the devastation that Ohio bus accidents can cause.

The State of Georgia will pay $3 million to the victims in the 2007 Bluffton baseball team fatal bus accident, which is the maximum legal settlement that the state is allowed to pay.

The Atlanta-Journal Constitution quotes:

“But state tort law limits the state’s liability to $3 million per occurrence, no matter how many people were hurt, said DOT spokesman David Spear.”

The fatal bus accident took the lives of seven passengers, including five baseball players, the bus driver, and his wife. Twenty eight passengers suffered personal injury as a result of the fatal bus accident.  

According to the Associated Press, it is believed that the bus driver thought that he was continuing onto a HOV, or High Occupancy Vehicle, lane, but drove onto a mismarked exit ramp. The parents of the fatal bus accident victims are asking the government to enforce stricter rules for bus safety, including stronger window glass and roofs, mandatory seatbelts, better driver training, and clearly marked exit signs.

According to The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, over 33 people die and 16,000 are injured each week in the United States in non-traffic car accidents.

Attorney Emch went on to write a rebuttal, defending his stance that he is only trying to look out for the little guy in the event of an Ohio car accident. Here is an excerpt of his response:

My view is that passengers who are injured in a car accident should be entitled to receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering even if the accident was caused by a driver who was an insured family member.
