		<title>Banzai Pool Slide Recalled Following Massachusetts Product Liability Verdict</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall of a dangerous and deadly product, the Banzai Falls Inflatable Pool Slide.  This recall came after lawyers at Sugarman and Sugarman proved to a jury that the Banzai Inflatable Pool Slide was a defective product and killed an innocent 29-year-old mother. Other pending product liability lawsuits involve a young man who was rendered quadriplegic on the same Banzai slide, and a woman who broke her neck on the same recalled slide. When litigating and trying the product liability case against Toys R Us, which imported and sold the pool slide, we were always worried that there must be thousands of other slides like it (it was not entirely clear how many were brought to this country). There was no way as a private litigant to tell the public about its hidden dangers. The CPSC’s product recall does just that. It reaches out to upwards of 21,000 &#8230; <a href="http://www.sugarman.com/personal-injury-blog/personal-injury-law/banzai-pool-slide-recalled-following-massachusetts-product-liability-verdict/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Personal Injury Attorney Fees – Contingent, Hourly or Set Fee?  Part I</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whenever you need a lawyer, an important part of the choice is how and how much the lawyer is to be paid. Much legal work is done by lawyers based on an hourly charge or based on a set fee for a specific project. Divorce, wills and estate planning, and criminal defense are examples of lawyer work that is paid for this way. However, when the need for a lawyer is brought about by a personal injury or wrongful death, most of this legal work is done on a contingent fee agreement. A contingent fee agreement simply means that the lawyer and law firm are paid only if and when there is a successful recovery of money damages. The amount paid is almost always a percentage of the settlement amount collected. Massachusetts requires that all contingent fee agreements are put in writing and signed by both the client and the lawyer.
