Will Necessity

Although The Trimble Firm, P.L.L.C., focuses on civil and personal injury trial law, it also provides other services to the public not generally associated with the courtroom. Over the past several years, the Firm has prepared simple wills, medical powers of attorney and directives to physicians (DNRs) for individuals and married couples. We are always surprised how many people do not have wills or have not wanted to explore obtaining such documents. The process is not very difficult, and you are the one who can decide what is best for your family’s interests in the event you should pass.

Over the past several months during the coronavirus pandemic, we have noticed a slight uptick in the number of persons wanting information on the preparation of wills and associated documents. The time is takes to get the documents prepared for execution is not long, and the costs of having your will done is not as expensive as you might have thought. People always admit they had been putting off the process of getting a will done, but it is better for everyone, particularly your family, to have a will in place been before it is too late.

The Trimble Firm, P.L.L.C., would be happy to assist you if you are so inclined. Please contact us at (936) 539-3457, via email at dlt@trimblefirm.com , or through our website at www.trimblefirm.com .

Zantac Litigation

The Trimble Firm, P.L.L.C., handles pharmaceutical cases, including claims involving the prescription and over-the-counter ranitidine drugs, commonly known by the brand name, Zantac. The United States Food and Drug Administration has requested that manufacturers of Zantac pull it from the market immediately. Ongoing investigation by the FDA has determined the levels of a contaminant in the heartburn medication increases over time and when stored at higher than normal temperatures, posing a risk to public health. The contaminant, N-nitrosodimethylamine or NDMA, is a probable human carcinogen. The FDA has been conducting investigation of NDMA levels in ranitidine since the summer of 2019. The drug has already been pulled from the shelves of retailers CVS Walgreen’s and Walmart.

If you are have a history of taking Zantac or its generic and are concerned as to whether it has caused you physical harm or injury, you are welcome to contact The Trimble Firm, P.L.L.C., to discuss your situation and have questions answered.

The Trimble Firm, P.L.L.C., is handling pharmaceutical cases, including claims involving opioid use and addiction. Many states, counties, and other governmental agencies have filed claims against various opioid manufacturers, including Johnson & Johnson and Purdue Pharma. Until recently, individuals who have been addicted to opioid use through totally responsible circumstances, i.e. prescription from a treating physician, have been unable to pursue individuals claims for the damages they or a loved one has sustained. That has recently changed, and people injured by opioids that were manufactured, marketed and sold by Purdue Pharm, including OxyContin, MS Contin and Ryzolt, can file personal injury claims against this company. Purdue is in bankruptcy in the U. S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Part of the bankruptcy process involves distribution of Purdue’s assets among creditors and claimants.

As part of its bankruptcy filing, Purdue has settled with several states and local governments for an amount that may exceed $10 billion. No final settlement plan is in place at this time. The federal judge handling the bankruptcy matter has set a deadline of June 30, 2020, for injured parties, including individuals, hospitals and governmental entities to file claims.

Once a final settlement is in place, the bankruptcy court will divide and distribute Purdue’s assets among those with injury claims and other stakeholders. You could be eligible to file a claim if you or a loved one was prescribed any of Purdue Pharma’s opioid painkillers and became addicted to the drug. You could also be eligible for a claim even if you or your loved one ultimately used heroin or other illegal opiates after becoming addicted.

If you are uncertain whether you were prescribed an opioid manufactured by Purdue Pharma, check with the pharmacies you have used and check your prescription history. If you have used and been damaged by Purdue’s product, you may consider filing a claim through the U. S. District Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. An attorney may file the claim on your behalf or you can also submit a claim yourself through a Prime Clerk website created for this matter.

If you have questions about filing a claim or the use or addiction to opioids manufactured by Purdue Pharma that have been identified herein, you are welcome to contact The Trimble Firm, P.L.L.C., to discuss your situation and have questions answered.
