Roberts for the District of Columbia agreed to the terms of the settlement, which included increasing female financial advisers’ earnings by at least $16 million over the next five years. The company is also expected to spend $7.5 million on diversity-related programs

Unfortunately, medical malpractice happens far too often and if you have been injured due to medical malpractice, contact one of our Connecticut medical malpractice lawyers.  Another example of medical malpractice was reported last week when the New York state health officials informed over 600 patients of Dr. Harvey Finkelstein, anesthesiologist, after learning that the doctor may have put his patients at risk by reusing syringes. They began investigating Finkelstein back in 2005 after two of his patients contracted hepatitis C. In 2005 officials notified 98 epidural recipients of possible infection after the two cases were reported. No additional cases resulted from those tested. The New York Health Commissioner has identified 628 patients that could have been possibly infected from Jan. of 2001 and Jan. 2005.

If you have been injured by a drunk driver, it is vital that you contact one of our Hartford personal injury lawyers as soon as possible.  Why? – because not only is the drunk driver liable for your injuries and losses, but the establishment that served the alcohol to the drunk driver.  You have 120 days to put the dram shop on written notice of your intention of filing a claim against it.  If written notice is not given within the 120 days, you will be prohibited from bringing a dram shop claim against the establishment.
