Easy to use Disability Form

We are indebted to Dr. Lewkovich for another easy-to-use form that documents multiple kinds of disability in PI cases.

Remember merely stating the patient’s time off work and/or the ADL’s will add significant value on the PI case to help pay 100% of your fee.

Colossus is designed to allow compensation for different disabilities--- only because juries usually grant money for proven claims.

This form is designed from the ground up to deal with all non-ratable disabilities.

The Drug Wars : Avandia and heart attacks

Avandia used for 2 type diabetes

Statistics have shown that people who take Avandia will have a higher risk of a cardiovascular event, such as congestive heart disease, heart attack, or stroke – between 29 and 46% higher than if they did not take Avandia.

There was a recent study released on June 28, 2010 in the JAMA of a quarter million Medicare patients which showed an increased risk of stroke, heart failure, and heart attack from patients who took Avandia. Avandia is a very risky drug for cardiovascular side effects. More than six million people worldwide have been prescribed Avandia.

We handle Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) side effect cases caused by Avandia.

Kaiser with the wrong meds kills patient

Decedent Vincent Fitzgerald, age 59 a facilities manager was diagnosed with Graves disease. He underwent radiation iodine treatment killing his thyroid gland. He was prescribed Synthoid, a synthetic thyroid replacement therapy.

In May 2009, his new Kaiser endocrinologist prescribed 200 mcg of Levothroid. 33 days later Fitzgerald returned complaining of “worsening chest pain and pressure.” He lost 11 lbs, his heart was elevated from 72 to 97 and his cholesterol was measured at 302. The doctor reduced the Levothroid to 137 mcg per day. The next morning decedent died of a massive heart attack.

Decedent’s family demanded $950,000. Kaiser offered $700,000. The arbitration result was $1,274,204.

PRACTICE TIPS
Too many patients are taking toxic drugs which they do not understand. When you have a patient suffering from drug side effects, send them out for a 2nd opinion to a MD you trust.
