			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The U.S. recession has led to much belt-tightening at companies across the country.  As the unemployment rate has shown, a lot of that belt-tightening comes in the form of lay-offs and downsizing.  Too often, and maybe even unfairly, older workers have been feeling the pinch at an alarming rate.  The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC, the government agent that enforces rules banning employment discrimination) recorded a 33 percent increase in the number of age discrimination complaints during the height of the recession.</p>
<p>Older workers are often assumed to have higher pay, be prone to illness, are on the verge of retirement, and even have difficulty learning and executing new skills.  These assumptions themselves are tinged with discrimination.  Because of these discriminatory beliefs, older workers often find themselves first on a company&#8217;s chopping block.  These workers may also find it much more difficult to find a new position, even with extensive qualifications, which can also be due to <a href="http://www.larryhparker.com/practice-areas/employment-law/employment-discrimination/">age discrimination</a>.</p>
<p>Discrimination for any reason, including age, is strictly prohibited by the law.  If you or a loved one believes that you are a victim of age discrimination or any type of employment discrimination, <a href="http://www.larryhparker.com/contact/">contact The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker</a> today at (800) 333-0000 or by using the form on your right.  We can help you determine the right course of action under the law.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Two new studies have been released reaffirming the dangers of Avandia.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Avandia, a diabetes drug manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, has been under investigation for increasing the risk of <strong>heart attack</strong> and <strong>heart failure</strong> in patients taking the prescription.  <em><a href="http://www.larryhparker.com/practice-areas/product-liability/pharmaceutical-drugs/avandia/">The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker Avandia webpage</a> has more information on previous Avandia studies.</em>  Now, two new studies have been released reaffirming the dangers of Avandia.  The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will be meeting soon to determine if Avandia should be removed from the market.</p>
<p>Compounding the research of previous clinical safety trials, the Cleveland Clinic, a non-profit academic medical center, found that Avandia increases the risk of a heart attack anywhere from 28% to 39%.  The Cleveland Clinic&#8217;s head of Cardiology has insisted that Avandia be pulled from the market.  The other study released shows that Avandia places patients at a greater risk of heart attack and heart failure than a rival drug.</p>
<p>If you or a loved one has experienced a heart attack or other adverse heart event while taking Avandia, you may be entitled to compensation. Call The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker today at (800) 333-0000 or send us an email using the Contact Us form on the right.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fireworks shops across the state open today, signaling that Independence Day is right around the corner.  <a href="http://www.larryhparker.com">The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker</a> wants to wish everyone a happy, but <strong>extremely safe and legal</strong> Fourth of July weekend.  California law enforcement seizes up to 20 tons of illegal fireworks every year.  In the United States, fireworks account for nearly 10,000 injuries yearly.  And legally, if they&#8217;re your fireworks, they&#8217;re your liability.</p>
<p>The California fire marshal&#8217;s office has posted some helpful safety tips <a href="http://www.osfm.fire.ca.gov/informationbulletin/pdf/2009/fwsafetytips09.pdf">here</a>.  Legal fireworks in the state of California carry an official state fire marshal seal, helping consumers determine which fireworks are legal and which ones are not.  Fireworks will be on sale through Tuesday, July 6th.</p>
<p>From all of us at The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker, please celebrate Independence Day responsibly.  Follow fireworks safety guidelines, don&#8217;t drink and drive, and buckle up.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first Chinese drywall case to be tried by jury in U.S. courts has concluded.  A Florida jury awarded an astonishing $2.4 million damages award to a Florida couple who had to abandon their $1.6 million home.</p>
<p>According to the Associated Press, &#8220;The six-person jury ruled that Armin and Lisa Seifart should receive more than just the costs of gutting and renovating their home: They were also awarded damages for loss of enjoyment of the $1.6 million house and for the drywall stigma that might reduce its resale value.&#8221;</p>
<p>Thousands of lawsuits involving faulty Chinese drywall are pending in the courts.  After Hurricane Katrina and the housing boom, faulty Chinese drywall was imported at a very high rate to the southeastern United States.  Unfortunately, these batches of defective drywall began emitting a noxious odor, destroying wiring, ruining plumbing, and even causing damage to computers and jewelery.  </p>
<p>The distributor of the toxic dry wall, Banner Supply Co., was accused of ignoring evidence that the drywall from China was defective, including recommendations from the Chinese manufacturers that the drywall not be used.  The jury found Banner Supply Co. 55% responsible for the problems experienced by the Seifart family.</p>
<p>If your family suspects that tainted, faulty Chinese drywall was installed in your home, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has recommended removing the drywall as quickly as possible.  Any adversely affected wiring or piping should also be removed.  The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker handles many similar product liability cases.  If you or a loved one has been the victim of any faulty product, contact us today using our email form or by phone at (800) 333-0000.  </p>
