A Chicago man filed a lawsuit against NBC Universal Inc. over an injury he sustained while walking through the set of the movie “Public Enemies” in the streets of Chicago in 2008.

In his lawsuit, John McManus said he tripped on one of the fake rubber cobblestones installed by set designers and sustained serious injuries.

No signs, barriers or warnings existed to alert McManus to the fake stone and tracks, the lawsuit alleges. He is seeking $50,000 in damages. Serena Maria Daniels, Chicago Tribune 05/23/2010

A Miami-Dade jury has awarded a Sarasota man more than $14 million after deciding that the asbestos he inhaled in the 1970s caused his deadly abdominal cancer.

Jurors found that chemical giant Union Carbide was negligent for selling asbestos fibers to other companies, which had used the fibers to make joint compounds used by construction companies — such as the one William Aubin’s family owned.

Jurors also found that four of the compound manufacturers, including Georgia-Pacific, share some of the responsibility for causing Aubin’s illness.

A federal judge has issued a scheduling order for the first bellweather NuvaRing lawsuit trials in the federal Multidistrict Litigation (MDL), which involve claims filed by women who allege that side effects of the birth control ring caused them to suffer serious and potentially life-threatening blood clots.

A medical malpractice lawsuit has been filed against a New York cancer specialist, claiming he treated a woman for pancreatic cancer when she in fact was not sick, and that the treatment killed her.
