Top 10 Personal Injury Blog Posts of 2014



via Tumblr hobbsr04.tumblr.com/post/106619722862 The 2014 year was like many before it, full of injuries, dangerous defects, and personal injury lawsuits. FindLaw’s Injured wants its readers to know what legal options exist for those who are injured or placed in dangerous situations, and 2014 has not failed to educate. So let’s look at the 10 most popular Injured stories for 2014: Can the ‘Ice Bucket Challenge’ Lead to Injury? — The latest in a long string of viral video challenges was the “Ice Bucket Challenge,” and it presented a great deal of legal issues. After a Deposition, What Happens Next? — Americans are more or less clueless about the deposition process, especially what happens after a witness is deposed. Airbag Defect, Deaths Lead to Recall Involving 4.7M Cars — One of the largest auto recalls in 2014 dealt with vehicles equipped with Takata airbags. Can You Sue If Your Photo Is Used Without Your Permission? — You should know your legal options when you unexpectedly find that your picture is part of some new aggressive marketing campaign. Can You Sue Someone for Giving You an STD? — STDs are often an unfortunate consequence of being sexually active, but in some cases, you might be able to sue former sexual partners. Can You Sue Someone for Beating You Up? — Too often, being beaten up is simply viewed as bad luck or an unfortunate fact of life, but you can use the law to recover. Online Mugshot Lawsuit: Settlement Reached — The beginning of 2014 saw the end to a long legal battle over real mugshots used by several mugshot websites. If You’re Injured at the Gym, Can You Sue? — When you feel the pain of a gym injury, you might be able to get some “gain” through the courts. When Can You Sue for Loss of Consortium? — Civil lawsuits can take into account the love and affection lost between spouses and family members due to personal injury or death. Man’s Fingertips Severed on Disney World Ride — Disney World often costs an arm and a leg, but this British tourist lost fingertips too. Be sure to keep yourself up to date and out of danger by following Injured in 2015. Related Resources: Subscribe to weekly digests of the latest Injured stories by clicking here.

Payday lenders still getting some Texas prosecutors, courts to carry their collections water

Even though Texas ostensibly outlawed the practice, Texas Appleseed has alleged “an ongoing trend of unlawful use of criminal charges by payday loan businesses to collect debts” in a complaint to Texas’ Consumer Finance Protection Bureau. Lots of juicy detail there so rather than excerpt it, I’ll just say those interested should read it themselves. Bottom line: Most counties seem to have stopped, some have clearly not (whether due to confusion, miscommunication or avarice - in general, prosecutors’ hot check funds are dwindling), and there’s insufficient data to track the issue in close detail.



See also coverage from Texas Public Radio, Huffington Post, the SA Current, and of course The Texas Observer, whose earlier reporting launched the most recent push toward payday lending reform. Also, I was happy to see the complaint referencing a report on the topic my wife helped prepare for Consumers Union 15 yeas ago. She poured a lot of herself into this issue back in the day, so she’ll be glad to learn folks are still finding CU’s work product useful.
