Expert Witness Engineers- Expert Opinion Based on Sound Engineering Principles

As defined by the dictionary, an expert witness is a person who has acquired specialization in a subject, often technical or other fields as well, who may present expert views without having been a witness to any incidence relating to the lawsuit or criminal case. It is an exception to the principle against giving an opinion in trial only if, the expert is purely trained by evidence of his/her proficiency, training and special knowledge.
 
In most of the legal cases, expert witness engineers are liable to give unified decision and are critical to the success of your case. Again, in many instances an expert professional can assist by-

Civil engineers must utilize their education and experience to plan, intend and supervise the projects of construction site in various industries. Moreover, a civil engineer must examine, devise, plan and assist in the execution of every step of the project. He/she will verify that all official procedures are followed along with the necessary formalities. The responsibility of the project manager is to endorse that the particular design plans are followed. The design of the construction project is done with the incorporation of commonly established engineering standards and practices. A closing report may be prepared showing that how the project was actually built as compared to the plans. Moreover, an engineer can also authoritatively verify the safety measures are being followed throughout the project period. Indeed, the professionals play important role to any construction project but can also be very imperative to any legal representative that is in need of an expert witness.

When seeking for an expert witness engineers, you must seek the assistance of professional expert. In this regard, it is important to look at the experience of your expert witness, whether education or in the field. It is crucial to your case for the expert to have relevant experience. The judge or the opposing side may feel your expert is experienced and qualified or not and you should not waste your time for a non-qualified professional.  An apprentice civil engineer hasn’t acquired that level of proficiency and will probably not have handled many different project situations so far. Also, education alone is not a designation of a good expert. Experience on the job is an essential requirement for an expert witness.

Classic Auto Transport Quotes

Getting a quote from someone, can be an even harder task than resolving your information gap in the first place. If you need information on classic auto transport so that you can ship that gorgeous Mustang you just got from a tiny town in the middle of nowhere, getting the quote and price to ship the car settled, is your first priority. And if you can get a trusted company that will look after your vehicle on the same kind of professional rig that dealers use, then you are halfway there already.

When you contact some customer service departments you often wait for hours and when there is finally a response, it sounds like the person you are talking to is living at the bottom of the well. I wonder how often they change the batteries on their headsets? Since we live in a technological age, what better way to get a quote (that you can then also print out and have in writing immediately) than to contact a classic auto express shipping company right on the web. A lot of companies use the web these days in place of a brick and mortar store. That way all of their energy and expertise can be directed towards helping and growing their customer base, because they don’t have to worry about real estate, just shipping cars. And these days and in this economy, mortgages that don’t have to be paid are one less huge thing to worry about. Shipping your car via an express company can be stress free and the sooner it arrives, the sooner you can relax.

An antique of classic car is a precious, often unique, thing. The less chance there is that something will get damaged or fall off of your vehicle, the less chance there is of you falling over from shock when you find out. Or, what if, due to an unprofessional company, the driver of the hauler carrying your vehicle broke down in the middle of the Mojave Desert because he or she forgot to check on the cooling system? Better to ship your vehicle on an enclosed rig that could be a tad more expense than a regular open trailer, but very much worth the little bit extra cost.

Get your classic auto express quotes right away via email, plan out when and where you want your classic vehicle to arrive (and leave) and be stress free for the rest of your Mustang’s journey to its new home. I suppose, because it’s a Mustang. you could tell your friends that it will be corralled in your barn. They will laugh, because they are your friends, and they also admire the beautiful new car.

Zoloft, SSRI Birth Defect Allegation Lawsuits: Resource4thePeople Awaits Key Evidence Ruling

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) April 22, 2014

http://www.resource4thepeople.com/defectivedrugs/SSRI-Birth-Defects.html

Resource4thePeople announced today that a key ruling is being awaited in litigation* alleging that birth defects have been caused by the use of Zoloft and other antidepressants known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).

Lawyers for hundreds of families who are seeking compensation over these allegations and attorneys for the manufacturers of the medications have recently been presenting arguments to the judge overseeing the cases over which expert testimony will be allowed at trials.

“These hearings are very important because both sides want to present the most qualified experts in the field of birth defects and medications in the upcoming trials over these SSRI birth defect allegations,” said Resource4thePeople.

“As we await the judge’s ruling we remain committed to updating consumers about this litigation and continuing our policy of free consultations about legal options to seek compensation over these allegations.

Hundreds of such federal lawsuits from across the country have been grouped together* alleging women who used SSRIs such as Zoloft before or during their pregnancies gave birth to infants suffering serious health defects.

The cases are under the jurisdiction of District Judge Cynthia Rufe, who has scheduled the first bellwether trial from this pool of Zoloft lawsuits for Nov. 3, 2014, according to the court file.

“The first bellwether trial is several months away but there is still time for consumers who may have been affected by the allegations against Zoloft and other SSRIs to file their own claims,” said Resource4thePeople.

In the meantime, Resource4thePeople has updated its web site to provide consumers with more information about allegations involving SSRIs and birth defects.

“This site includes valuable information for consumers who may have been affected by allegations that the use of an SSRI before or during pregnancies caused a birth defect in an infant,” said Resource4thePeople.

“Among the most important details provided is information about how to obtain a free consultation to determine whether there is eligibility to seek compensation for medical expenses, treatment, training and other expenses involved in overcoming a birth defect.”

The site also includes detailed descriptions of SSRIs, U.S. Food and Drug Administration health warnings, medical research findings, descriptions of birth defects and an outline of what is contained in an SSRI allegations lawsuit.

The information may be accessed at: http://www.resource4thepeople.com/defectivedrugs/SSRI-Birth-Defects.html

SSRI anti-depressants are sold under various brand and generic drug names such as Zoloft, Prozac, Paxil, Lexapro, Celexa and Depakote and are described by The National Institute of Mental Health as the most popular antidepressants prescribed in the United States.**

In another development, statistics*** compiled by federal court officials show that there were 475 Zoloft lawsuits under Judge Rufe’s supervision in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

The SSRI lawsuits assigned to Judge Rufe include allegations of at least one life-threatening birth defect. Here is a detailed list of some of the defects that have been identified in these federal lawsuits:

— Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, also identified as PPHN. This is perhaps the most serious of the defects because it affects the lungs and heart and has about a 10 percent fatality rate.

    — Clubfoot, or deformed feet. This is a condition in which an infant’s feet twist inward or face downward.

    — Atrial septal or ventrical septal defects in which infants are born with holes in their hearts.

    — Craniosynostosis, which is a cranial deformity in the fetus which can cause serious problems, including seizures after birth.

    — Omphalocele, which is a condition in which an infant’s internal organs may form outside of the body.

— Other birth defects, including Tetralogy of Fallot, spina bifida, transposition of the arteries and heart murmurs.

“If any family has a child who suffers from any of these conditions we urge them to contact our national network of attorneys as soon as possible for a consultation about their rights to seek compensation for health issues that may have been caused by the use of these antidepressants before or during a pregnancy,” said Resource4thePeople.

Judge Rufe has selected 25 cases from the consolidated lawsuits to serve as bellwether trials in which lawyers for the plaintiffs and those for the defense can test the strengths and weaknesses of their cases, according to the court file.

Judge Rufe is also overseeing a parallel multidistrict litigation**** involving claims that another antidepressant known as an SNRI, Effexor, also may cause birth defects in infants born to women who took the medication shortly before or during pregnancies.

Federal court figures show that there are now 52 Effexor cases before Judge Rufe.

One of the most recent warnings questioning the effectiveness and addressing side effects involving SSRIs was published Aug. 19, 2013 in The New York Times***** in an article by a physician who laments the lack of progress in developing effective, safe antidepressants.

“This is just the latest of the concerns raised about the effectiveness and safety of SSRIs,” said Resource4thePeople.

“As the physician points out, whether or not these medications such as Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac and Lexapro are providing safe, effective treatment for depression is open to debate.”

Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn is among several birth defect issues linked to SSRIs raised by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in a 2006 Public Health Advisory.******

Love Quotes Boyfriend Scarf

Fashionable women all around the world have fallen in love with Love Quotes Scarves in a very short time. The line rose to fame in late 2007/early 2008 when it was seen literally wrapped around the neck of every starlet in Hollywood. Celebrity women like Lauren Conrad, Fergie, Hilary Duff, Jessica Alba, Rachel Bilson and so many others helped put Love Quotes scarves on the map. And most of these celebrities have the scarves in multiple colors.

So what’s so great about Love Quotes? These scarves are made of a high quality Italian linen, Italian linen 50% and Viscose 50%. They’re light and airy like gauze, but surprisingly warm when wrapped. And the scarves have hand knitted fringe. Each scarf also comes with an inspirational love quote and 10% off all proceeds from every scarf sold goes to international childrens charities. The scarves come in a wide variety of colors.

For Spring/Summer 2009 the line isn’t only unveiling new colors but also a brand new cut. It’s called the Love Quotes Boyfriend Scarf. This scarf is cut about 10 inches narrower than regular love quotes scarves, and the fringe is about 1 inch shorter. The dimensions for the scarf is 27″ x 71″. The Boyfriend Scarves are ideally summer scarves; the narrow cut makes them much cooler to wear in the hot weather.

For right now, the Love Quotes Boyfriend Scarves come in a limited range of colors, about 12 overall, most of which are shades that are brand new to the line. Two of the standout shades for spring/summer are Azalea and Mykonos. Azalea is a bold, hot pink with a touch of purple to it (which makes it different from the other hot pinks LQ has done in the past, like Cosmopolitan). And Mykonos is a deep shade of dusty blue, sort of like a brighter, lighter shade of navy. Both shades are unique and will certainly get compliments.

Bouquet is another new color that the Love Quotes Boyfriend Scarves come in. It’s a light pink, which is a good alternative to Azalea, and looks great with khaki and bold colored outfits. There’s also New Earth, which is an earthy, greyish beige. This one is a nice neutral to have on hand. Olive Grove is yet another new addition to the line. The shade is bright green, like the color of leaves, and it really pops up against white and denim. Of course, the Boyfriend Scarves also come in classic colors like Meditation (black).

Be sure to make one or two of these scarves a part of your wardrobe this season. Find the new Love Quotes Boyfriend Scarves at OohlaLuxe.com.
