Car Accidents

Causes of Car Accidents

‣ Impaired driving: The CDC notes that motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver result in the deaths of 29 people each day in the U.S., which equals one death caused by impaired driving every 50 minutes and a cost to society of around $44 billion a year

‣ Driver fatigue: The National Safety Council reports that a driver who has gone more than 20 hours without sleep has equivalent effects to his or her driving abilities as one with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent, making tired drivers three times more likely to be involved in an accident than those who are well rested. Drowsiness impacts drivers’ reaction times, attention, and ability to perceive hazards on the road.

‣ Speeding: Approximately 27 percent of the fatalities from car crashes in the U.S. are the result of speeding. Speeding decreases the time that a driver needs to react to hazards in the road, makes the collision impact more severe, and renders automobile protective devices such as seat belts and airbags less effective.

‣ Tailgating: Tailgating is a term used for a situation in which one car is following the other too closely. If the lead vehicle stops or slows suddenly, the following car may not have time to react before a collision occurs.

‣ Distracted driving: Distracted driving caused the deaths of 3,450 people nationwide in 2016, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notes , and resulted in injuries for another 391,000. Common distractions for drivers include texting and other cell phone use, eating or drinking, talking with other people in the car, tending to pets, adjusting the controls on features such as the car heater or stereo, and external distractions such as a previous accident.

Types of Car Accidents

‣ Vehicle rollover: There are two types of rollover accidents, tripped and un-tripped. The majority of rollovers are tripped accidents that involve the vehicle sliding sideways into soft soil or striking an object, such as another car, a curb, or a guardrail. Un-tripped rollovers involve top-heavy vehicles that are typically involved in high-speed collision maneuvers when the rollover takes place. Rollovers account for about 80 percent of all fatalities in single-vehicle crashes.

‣ Rear-end collision: Approximately one-third of all rear-end collisions occur when one car is following another car too closely. This type of accident is commonly referred to as a “whiplash accident” due to its propensity to cause soft tissue neck injuries.

‣ Single car accidents: There are two types of single-vehicle accidents, run-off-the-road (ROR) and on-road (OR) crashes. The more common type is ROR, where the vehicle leaves its lane of travel and encroach on the median, shoulder, or parking lane, striking a natural or man-made object. OR crashes typically involve a driver attempting to avoid a collision with a pedestrian, bicyclist, or hazard in the roadway.

‣ Side-impact collision: Also known as the T-bone accident, side-impact collisions generally occur in the intersection when one vehicle runs a red light or does not yield the right of way to another. Vehicle occupants on the side of the vehicle that was struck often suffer life-threatening or catastrophic injuries.

‣ Head-on collision: While this type of accident makes up an extremely small number of all traffic crashes, they account for more fatalities than many other types of accidents. Head-on collisions are so dangerous due to the velocity in which the vehicles collide. The impact of the collision is doubled that of a collision between one moving car and one stationary, as both vehicles are moving toward each other.

Current Mass Tort Cases

WHAT ARE MASS TORTS?

A mass tort is a type of civil action involving numerous plaintiffs with similar claims against one or a few defendants in state or federal court. Mass torts most often are filed by individuals who have suffered physical or financial injury because of the negligence or misconduct of a corporation. Mass torts generally occur when a company causes injury or damage to numerous individuals through an identical act of harm. For example, a company might produce a prescription drug, a medical device, or a defective product that causes physical injuries or economic harm to thousands of individuals all over the United States. Mass torts generally are filed as part of a “multidistrict litigation” (an MDL) or as a class action

TALCUM POWDER

For Decades, Johnson & Johnson has been producing Talcum powder, more commonly known as baby powder. This talcum powder has been found to have traces of asbestos. Upon use, this asbestos can trap itself within various parts of the body, increasing the chance of cancer, the most common of which is Ovarian cancer. As little as one use of asbestos contaminated talcum powder increases one’s chance of contracting Ovarian cancer.

ELMIRON

Elmiron, also known as pentosan polysulfate sodium, while commonly prescribed for bladder conditions, has been shown to be toxic to the retina and causing permanent damage. Studies have shown that up to 25% of patients with “significant exposure to Elmiron” have shown signs of eye damage. If found early, the damage can be treated and potentially reversed, if found too late, damage may result in permanent vision loss. To learn more, click here.

3M EARPLUGS

3M, a manufacturing company which produces hundreds of items, has produced ear plugs prescribed to military personnel to protect them from hearing loss in the line of duty. Studies have shown that the Dual-Ended Combat Arms Earplugs (CAEv1) are defective and offer insufficient hearing protection, resulting in permanent damage or hearing loss to our service men and women. These earplugs were issued to military members deployed in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Libya, or the Indian Ocean between 2003 and 2015. While these earplugs are no longer produced, they have no been recalled and are still in circulation to this day.

BELVIQ AND BELVIQ XR

Produced by Eisai Inc, Belviq, also known as lorcaserin, is an appetite suppression drug used to help lose weight. Belviq has been voluntarily withdrawn from the market by Eisai following an FDA requirement to perform a long-term trial evaluating the cardiovascular effects associated with the drugs. Known as the CAMELLIA-TIMI 61 trial, this was the largest cardiovascular outcome trial conducted to date for a weight loss medication. Through this study it was found that Belviq increases the user’s chance of contracting cancer. On February 13, 2020, the FDA’s Drug Safety Communication advises patients to stop taking Belviq immediately due to health risks.

ZANTAC

As of April 1st, 2020, the FDA has requested that all manufacturers withdraw all over-the-counter ranitidine drugs, more commonly known as Zantac. Zantac has been found to continue N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), and impurity which, if exposed in high doses, may increase the consumer’s risk for cancer. NDMA is a type of human carcinogen which, while usually ingested in a normal diet, can be dangerous in large quantities. To learn more, read the FDA’s announcement here.

JUUL

JUUL, a nicotine based vaping product marketed as a smoking alternative, has been found to cause seizures, serious lung injuries, or disease and stroke. Additionally, JUUL has been accused of deceptively marketing directly to minors, and contributed to the growing “e-cigarette epidemic among youth.” The high levels of nicotine also help cause addiction, worsening these conditions. Multiple lawsuits have been filed regarding different negative effects caused by JUUL and other vape products.

CLERGY ABUSE

Recently it was discovered that U.S. Bishops have knowingly transferred and concealed thousands of abusive priests, affecting thousands of children throughout the county for decades. Since this scandal has been exposed, there is finally an opportunity for those children who have been affected to come forward and hold those abusers and the Catholic Church responsible for their actions. With the ability to report, we can finally hold the Church and its abusive priests accountable for their actions.
