By: Darrell Castle Patients receive dialysis for severe kidney problems or kidney failure. Dialysis does what failing kidneys should be able to do but can’t: it removes waste; keeps blood chemicals like bicarbonate and potassium in balance; and helps maintain blood pressure. In order to balance your body’s chemicals, most dialysis concentrates contain an ingredient your body converts into bicarbonate. Fresenius’ treatments use a powder product called Granuflo. (We take personal injury law very seriously. We want to help people get the compensation they deserve when treated wrongfully.

Lenders are turning cars off at bad times By: Darrell Castle Missing your car payment can have some serious consequences, depending on how strict your lender is. Take Mary Bolender’s story as an example. Mary’s 10-year-old daughter’s asthma was flaring up and with a 103.5 degree fever, it was time to go to the ER. Mary got her daughter seated in the car and went to start it up, but it wouldn’t crank. Mary was three days late on her monthly car payment, so her lender remotely activated the car’s “starter interrupt device.” To get her daughter to the ER, Mary had to pay more than $389, which was money she didn’t have at the time. “I felt absolutely helpless,”

The length of the bankruptcy process depends… By: Darrell Castle If you’re in debt and considering bankruptcy, you’re probably wondering how long the process will take. I certainly don’t blame you; you’re eager to establish your financial freedom and get your cash flow back.

But the vast majority of cases are settled; and the length of time varies, depending on the complications of the accidents and the type of injury that you had.

Once you’re fully recovered and all the medical records are available for everyone to look at and evaluate, then you can discuss settlement if it’s a case that is discussable – in other words, the liability (who caused it) is pretty clear.
