You could be entitled to significant compensation if you or a loved one were harmed because of a vehicle manufacturer’s defective part. Every year, defective automobiles and parts are responsible for a substantial number of vehicular accidents. Yet all too often, automakers fail to inform the public of these issues in a timely matter. Even when an auto recall is issued, consumers must wait months for inadequate repairs. These delays may result in serious injury or cost lives!

About 2011-2015 Kia Panoramic Sunroof Investigation

Gilman Law, LLP is currently investigating the claims made by owners of 2011-2015 Kia vehicles of a defect which causes the panoramic sunroofs to shatter unexpectedly. There have been more than 80 drivers who have reported their sunroofs suddenly exploding since 2009. These events are occurring while the drivers were operating their vehicles and under ordinary weather conditions. This event could lead to injuries from the scattered glass and lead to a crash causing devastating injuries to the driver and others on the road. The defect is believed to be caused from the unlaminated tempered glass used in the sunroofs. According to drivers’ reports, the sunroofs are shattering when the cars are relatively new and still under the manufacturer’s warranty. Amazingly, Kia cannot guarantee that the replacement sunroof will not suffer the same fate.

About Sears’ Craftsman Riding Lawn Mowers and Lawn Tractors

A class action complaint was filed on May 21, 2015 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois alleging that Sears’ Craftsman riding lawnmowers and lawn tractors contain a serious and dangerous defect. The complaint lists the riding lawnmowers and tractors sold by Sears that contain the defect are, but not limited to, Craftsman Models 917.20383, 917.288515, YTS 3500 Model No. 917.27660, GT 5000 Model No. 917.289453. It is alleged that these lawnmowers have a fuel line that is not adequately secured and can often dislodge from the gas tank during use. The fuel line and electrical components are near the lawnmowers’ drive belts and pulleys so that when the fuel line breaks away from the fuel tank or is worn down from the friction of the moving parts and/or if the electrical components are worn down from the friction of the moving parts, fuel drips onto the mowing bed and catches fire. The fire caused by the fuel leak can occur while using the lawnmower or just after they are stored after use. The complaint alleges Sears knew or should have known about the defect and concealed it from and failed to warn consumers.

About Onglyza and Nesina

Onglyza (saxagliptin), manufactured by AstraZeneca and Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Nesina (alogliptin), manufactured by Takeda Pharmaceuticals, are approved by the FDA to help those with diabetes maintain a healthy blood sugar level. These drugs belong to a class called incretin mimetics, which stimulates the production of insulin to help regulate blood sugar in patients with type-2 diabetes.

The makers of Onglyza funded a study which found patients who used the drug had a higher rate of hospitalizations due to heart failure. In April 2015, an advisory committee to the FDA voted to update the label for Onglyza to add information regarding the increased risk of heart failure.

A March 2013 study showed a strong link between these diabetes medications and pancreatic cancer. This study also showed that those who had taken these medications had a pancreas that was 40% larger than normal and had a 6x increase of pre-cancerous cell growth and tumors. These tumors can become cancerous. In 2011, the FDA issued a safety warning after studies showed a higher rate of thyroid cancer in rodents taking incretin mimetics.
