If you’ve been injured by popular HPV vaccine Gardasil, you should know our Tennessee Gardasil attorneys are still taking cases. Gardasil is given to both men and women and is especially recommended for teenage girls. It is said to prevent cervical cancer from the human papilloma virus (HPV). However, it’s also been linked to some terrible side effects, including Guillain-Barré Syndrome – which causes your immune system to attack your nervous system, leading to paralysis. Other serious side effects can include multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus, blindness, and even death. If you believe you or a loved one have been seriously injured by Gardasil, you need to speak with an attorney immediately. Drug and vaccine cases have a statute of limitations,
As a follow-up to last week’s tips for flood preparedness, here is some helpful advice from the Commercial Appeal on dealing with pets: If you leave, take your pets with you.

In recent weeks, “fast casual” food chain Chipotle has been under fire for some horrible cases of poisoning. At least 5 outbreaks have been connected to the company in the last year alone, including E. coli, Salmonella, and Norovirus. The outbreaks sickened hundreds of people across multiple states. Now Chipotle is backpedaling in one of many attempts to regain customer trust. These outbreaks can be fatal. They’re similar to last summer’s Blue Bell listeria outbreak, in which contaminated ice cream killed three people. These stories remind me of a time when food was very different – at least for my family. I was raised on a farm, and our food was prepared from scratch, sourced from our property. People still
There’s a very good Bloomberg story featuring Rebecca Black, a Memphis resident who bought a three-bedroom house on Hazelwood Road in southwest Memphis in May 2005. When she moved in, Hazelwood Street was in a quiet community in which children played in the street and neighbors tended to their yards. She felt it was a good move for her two teenage sons. She thought she could afford the $57,000 mortgage as long as she skipped oil changes for the car and served her boys store-brand groceries. However, her next-door neighbor soon died and his family lost the house. There were also two foreclosures across the street. Around that time, an abandoned house down the street had gang graffiti spray-painted on

Memphis is becoming safer for cyclists and pedestrians By: Darrell Castle After being blocked to traffic for the past two weeks, Riverside Drive in Downtown Memphis will reopen on Friday. However, the street will now have two less lanes for motorists and a new protected bike lane. What’s the difference between a traditional bike lane and a protected one? A traditional bike lane simply consists of a thin line constituing a separation of a traffic lane and a bike lane, while a protected bike lane consists of a much larger set of lines or some kind of barrier separating the two. In this instance, the grassy median aligned with trees sitting on Riverside Drive will now be that barrier separating
According to the Council for Community and Economic Research, Memphis is the 4th cheapest place to live in the country, and the cheapest city east of the Mississippi. The report – which judges cities based on daily living costs like groceries, transportation, housing, and healthcare – ranks Memphis 4th after Harlingen, Texas; Norman, Oklahoma; and Pueblo, Colorado. Not surprisingly, New York City ranks as most expensive. This isn’t entirely surprising. After all, Memphis has some of the best utility rates around! It’s always great to see Memphis rank in something positive. We seem to get a lot of negative attention and rarely celebrate the good in our city. So I want to applaud our efforts to keep cost of living

Since it’s election season, candidates from both sides have spent the last few months talking about jobs. They all promise economic growth and stability to come; but the Mid-South still hasn’t seen much evidence of a recovery. A January jobs report shows a slight decrease in unemployment around the country and 243,000 new jobs created in January; and perhaps you remember when some economists declared the recession over in 2009? Yet here we are in 2012 with so many Memphis families looking for work, unable to pay their bills, and wishing for a recovery that’s just moving too slow for the Mid-South area. If you are in that boat, you may be feeling like there is no way out. It
