Last Friday, November 9, Forester Haynie, along with Texas Young Lawyers Association and Collin County Young Lawyers Association, hosted the Collin County Roadshow event at the Collin County Courthouse.

Attendees were able to earn up to 3 hours of CLE credit as they attended presentations from Kirk Cooper and Zeke Fortenberry on how to draft stronger appellate briefs and ways to expand their law practices.

After the event, Forester Haynie was delighted to host a happy hour at Blue Goose Cantina, where guests enjoyed food, drinks, and great conversation.

Thank you to all who came out to make this event a success!

Wish you were there?

The next scheduled roadshow is scheduled for December 7 from 12:30 pm- 5:00 pm at Belo Mansion and Pavillion. The price to attend will be $50 and guests can earn up to 3.75 hours of CLE credit.

Forester Haynie’s class action lawsuit against Pizza Hut of San Antonio Inc. (Pizza Hut franchise in Texas) for failing to pay their delivery drivers the federal minimum wage has been certified. The case is called Autry v. Pizza Hut of San Antonio et al., pending in Federal Court in the Western District of Texas.

The lawsuit alleges that instead of reimbursing delivery drivers for the costs of using their personal vehicles, the pizza franchise uses a flawed method to determine reimbursement for delivery drivers’ mileage. These rates fall below any reasonable estimate of the expenses the drivers incur, causing their wages to fall below the federal minimum wage.

If you have been a delivery driver in the last three years at one of the many store(s) owned by Pizza Hut of San Antonio Inc. and want to join this class action, call our office toll-free at 214-210-2100 or email us at info@foresterhaynie.com.

Valsartan, also known as Diovan is prescribed for high blood pressure and heart failure. It is manufactured and distributed by many different pharmaceutical companies including Teva Pharmaceuticals, Alembic Pharmaceuticals, Novartis, Zhejiang Huahai, Camber Pharmaceuticals, and Prinston Pharmaceutical among others.

On July 13, 2018, the FDA began recalling Valsartan because it was discovered that many prescriptions of Valsartan had been contaminated with a chemical, N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a known carcinogen. The specific Valsartan being recalled has been linked to liver damage (fibrosis, scarring, abnormal liver function tests) along with kidney and liver tumors – both malignant and benign. The longer someone used the contaminated Valsartan, the more likely the user is to develop these catastrophic injuries.

Forester Haynie is currently investigating Valsartan cases involving:

1. Stomach cancer
2. Kidney cancer, kidney tumors
3. Intestinal tract cancer – colon / colorectal
4. Liver cancer, liver tumors, liver injuries
5. Bladder cancer
6. Pancreatic cancer

If you or a loved one developed digestive tract, liver, pancreatic or kidney problems anytime after January 1, 2010, then contact Forester Haynie as soon as possible. In fact, click the link below to have one of our experienced attorneys start working on your case immediately.
