Interview with Financial Elder Abuse Attorney Philip Brown
Perhaps the only generalization that can be made about financial elder abuse is that, due to a massive range of circumstances, no single event or condition applies to all cases. The victims, the perpetrators and the facts surrounding each case vary considerably. Commonly, someone has taken unfair advantage of a senior to gain access to money or property he or she would not have had access to without manipulating the senior. In California, this is a violation of financial elder abuse law.
Trucking Accidents: "Every Right to be Concerned"
If you worry about sharing the road with tractor trailers and trucking accidents, Public Citizen says you have every reason to be concerned. Joan Claybrook, President of Public Citizen, says trucks are involved in a high number of accidents, putting both the truck drivers and the rest of the public at risk for serious injury.
The US Economic Bailout Hits Home
In an historic show of bipartisan support, the US Senate last night accomplished what the House of Representatives could not do, and voted in favor of a revised $700 billion bailout package aimed at not only taking failed mortgages off the backs of severely weakened banks, but also in a bid to restore confidence to the markets and get the credit machine rolling again.
Long Term Health Insurance: Holding Up the Works…
In politics, it's known as the filibuster: argue a point incessantly and in circles, and in so doing delaying passage of legislation. In the world of long-term care insurance, such tactics are hardly surprising given the overall reluctance of the industry to play claims.There have been documented cases of long term care health insurance providers dragging their heels in an effort to either avoid, or delay the payment of long term care insurance benefits to elderly policyholders.

Kugel Mesh Patch: "People Who Get Shot Feel Better than I Do"
John H has suffered though a lot of pain, and many surgeries due to a hernia repair where a hernia patch was used to repair one of his herniated areas. Many of his symptoms and health problems following his hernia repair surgeries are consistent with those experienced by people who have had Kugel Mesh Patches implanted.
Ortho Evra Patch Victim thankful to be Alive
Lacrecia had 12 days leave from the army and she was scheduled to visit her husband in Germany. But they had an argument and she visited her mum in Virginia instead. That argument likely saved her life. "My doctor said I wouldn't be alive today if I got on that plane," says Lacrecia, "and I can only blame it on the Ortho Evra Patch". Lacrecia was about to board a plane with blood clots in both lungs, caused by Ortho Evra birth control.
Levaquin's Litany of Side Effects
In October 2006 Amanda was given a two-week course of Levaquin for a sinus infection. After a week she felt weak and wobbly but her doctor advised her to continue for the duration. "I trusted him and finished the Levaquin antibiotic treatment but at the end of that time I couldn’t even stand," she says. "Nobody mentioned Levaquin side effects".
Dormant for 50 Years, Asbestos Cancer Suddenly Strikes
His would have been one of several obituaries in the Chicago Tribune this past weekend; to the average reader, just another name in a list of people suddenly no longer here. Sadly, Michael McLoughlin was only 63 when he died. But saddest of all, is the reason why he died: asbestos mesothelioma, which was traced back to when he was a boy. A BOY. And yet that asbestos exposure invaded his lungs and lay silent for decades, until he was diagnosed in February of last year. Less than two years later, asbestos cancer claimed him.

If it's any consolation, you are not alone. Many people lost money in the Morgan Keegan stock crisis and are fighting back by filing FINRA arbitration claims and lawsuits against the company.
