Ovarian Cancer Awareness month

On behalf of Goldsmith & Goldsmith, LLP posted in Injuries on Friday, September 23, 2016.

The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance has dedicated September as National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Ovarian cancer is the deadliness of gynecological cancers, and early detection is relatively rare. Only 20% of women diagnosed catch the disease in the early stages.

Kayak Accident

By Lee Goldsmith of Goldsmith & Goldsmith, LLP on Thursday, September 1, 2016.

For many years now, I have been kayaking on the waterways of the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area. I have served as president of the Hudson River Watertrail Association (HRWA.org) and in a week I will be joining with other guides to escort some 100 kayakers and stand up paddlers on the Hudson. Throughout this time on the water I have become familiar with all of its beauty, but also particularly familiar with the dangers inherent to a waterway clogged with a variety of large vessels. Tuesday's incident involving a ferry boat crashing into a group of kayakers on the Hudson in New York City is yet another reminder of the dangers kayakers face every time they go into the water.

Any lawyer can win damages in egregious cases such as operating on the wrong body part. Many firms have the resources to hire experts. But few lawyers truly understand the medical science of medical malpractice litigation.
