A car accident is a traumatic experience for anyone, but for some the devastating effects last far longer than the collision itself.

As consumers, we trust companies to provide us with products that are safe and effective, and that perform as advertised.

As consumers, we trust companies to provide us with products that are safe and effective, and that perform as advertised. While many businesses adhere to these ideals, there are instances in which consumers were seriously injured or otherwise negatively impacted by a product. When an event as devastating as this occurs, and if the corporation’s insurance company is not willing to assist the injured consumer properly, a law suit may have to be filed. A case like this is called a product liability case. It is important that the lawyer you choose has experience in the area of product liability law. In such cases, a product liability lawyer should be able to prove two critical elements in order to win. These elements are:
1. The Product Contained a Defect
An attorney should determine through a thorough investigation, that there was something wrong with the product itself. A defect can be a minor imperfection or a catastrophic flaw; what’s crucial is that it was not performing as it was intended.
2.The Defect Caused the Plaintiff’s Injuries
Your attorney should prove to the jury that it is more likely than not that the defective product was the cause of the plaintiff’s injury and future problems linked to the injury. This can sometimes be established through testimony by a treating doctor or expert in a specific field.
In short, the attorney and the plaintiff need to show the connection between the defective product and the injury sustained by the plaintiff. This is not an exhaustive list, but a foundation for any product liability case. Be sure to hire a competent product liability lawyer who can handle the rigors of a product liability case, like the associates at Goldenberg Heller & Antognoli, P.C.

Business contracts are designed to protect both parties in the event of a dispute, but unfortunately, sometimes a dispute can’t be prevented.

Business contracts are designed to protect both parties in the event of a dispute, but unfortunately, sometimes a dispute can’t be prevented. When two or more parties cannot agree, the contract that was designed to state the rules of engagement may become open to interpretation. This is why it is crucial to employ an experienced St. Louis commercial business litigation attorney to go over contract disputes, explain the law, and lay out your options. The future of your business may depend on their legal expertise. Read on to learn more about how to settle contract disputes with the help of a business litigator.
First and foremost, a business litigator is there to help you solve any issues in a timely manner. The longer a contract dispute goes on, the less productive a business becomes. If you feel like you’re not getting anywhere by negotiating on your own with another party, then it makes sense to invest the time and money to hire a business litigator. Often the presence of a third party legal expert is enough to help both parties listen to one another and come to an agreement.
If you’re feeling particularly proactive, you can even anticipate and avoid future contract disputes by hiring a business litigator at the outset to review all contracts and single out potential issues. This is also a wonderful opportunity for any party to discuss misgivings they may be holding back due to the lack of a third party presence. The best kind of contract issue is the one that never happens due to proper planning and open communication.
If you are in the middle of an ongoing contract dispute and need legal advice, get in touch with the attorneys at Goldenberg Heller & Antognoli, P.C. Our team of legal experts is well versed in the issues surrounding St. Louis commercial business litigation and will advocate on your behalf for a speedy and fair resolution to your difficulties.

It’s a subject no one really likes to think about—the question of what will happen to our loved ones and our legacy after we are gone. Nevertheless, estate planning is an inevitable part of responsible wealth management, and a crucial step towards safeguarding your assets against any potential pitfalls. This and other important issues, such as power of attorney and end-of-life wishes, should be handled by an experienced estate planning lawyer. In this post, we will explain why it is so important to manage your estate sooner rather than later.
Contrary to popular belief, planning your estate does not have to be a drawn out and complicated ordeal. While it is true that the more assets you have, the more complex your planning will have to be, in reality most of the heavy lifting will be done by your estate planning lawyer. What’s most important is for you to make the decisions and successfully communicate your wishes to your friends, family and business partners.
We often think of matters of estate coming into play after our death, but that is not always the case. In the instance of debilitating disability or incapacitation, certain decisions such as power of attorney or business succession become crucial. Even if you feel as if you’re in the best health of your life, you can’t anticipate accident or injury. That’s why it’s never too early to settle your estate. That way there will be no dispute over your wishes if you are not around, or simply not able to communicate them yourself.
While it may seem like a daunting prospect to begin planning your estate, the reality is that you will experience satisfaction and peace of mind once preparations are complete and you know your legacy is secure. If you are in need of a dedicated and experienced estate planning lawyer, then it’s time to get in touch with the law offices of Goldenberg Heller & Antognoli, P.C. Simply fill out our contact form and a member of our legal team will get in touch with you shortly to discuss your options and connect you with the right attorney for your needs.

Multiple scientific studies have indicated that Talcum powder may increase the risk of ovarian cancer when used by women for personal perineal hygiene. Johnson & Johnson has been accused of failing to warn consumers of the risks associated with using this product. It is estimated that the risk of a woman developing ovarian cancer may increase by 30% due to the regular use of talcum powder in the genital area.
If you or a family member have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and have used talc-based baby powder or body powder products, you may need the services of an experienced Edwardsville personal injury attorney.
One of the pharmaceutical companies responsible for manufacturing talc products, Johnson & Johnson, was once a trusted household name. However, an attorney for the company has admitted company executives have known about the association between talcum powder and ovarian cancer for years, but did not deem the risk to be significant enough to require a warning label. This same company has past litigation concerning other products such as Tylenol, Bausch & Lomb contact lenses and Depuy Hip replacement parts.
So what do you do if you or a loved one have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and have a history of talc product use? The two people of most help to you in this situation are your doctor and an attorney. Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician to go over your concerns, your medical history, and your current health. Then, contact an Edwardsville personal injury attorney who specializes in personal injury cases, particularly one who has experience with cases related to defective products.
The professionals at Goldenberg Heller & Antognoli, P.C., are handling claims on behalf of women harmed by the use of talcum powder, and holding the pharmaceutical companies responsible for their suffering. Contact us today to get started.
Small business succession planning is the process by which you ensure that the legacy you’ve spent years growing is secure after your retirement.

Small business succession planning is the process by which you ensure that the legacy you’ve spent years growing is secure after your retirement. While every business is different, the question of what happens next is always on the horizon. Read on to learn more about small business succession planning and how to handle it.
1.) Write a business plan. This isn’t the same kind of business plan you may have drafted when you were first starting your enterprise. A business plan for business succession purposes details the future of the company as you see it, particularly after you’ve moved on. It’s possible that only you or perhaps your lawyer will ever see this document, but it is useful for figuring out where your priorities lie in relation to succession.
2.) Pick a successor. Once you know where you want your business to go, it is time to choose a successor (or two, or three). It is important to make this decision objectively, in terms of what’s best for the company. A lawyer can aid in this process by offering impersonal legal advice. Fear of bruising a partner’s ego or damaging relations with a friend are not good enough reasons to pass the reigns to someone. Be sure you choose the person or persons best fitted to serving the direction you’ve laid out for your company. Your legacy depends on it.
3.) Plan for contingencies. While you can’t plan for everything, anticipating future problems is an important part of small business succession planning. Everything from personal feelings to unexpected disasters can come into play. Make sure your succession plan is catastrophe-proof before continuing.
4.) Hire a lawyer. Having an attorney assist you in the growth and succession process is always beneficial. They understand complicated legal concerns such as tax liability and shareholder agreements, and can help you navigate all that red tape when crafting your business plan.
Looking to safeguard the future of your small business? Talk to the experts at Goldenberg Heller & Antognoli, P.C. Our attorneys have years of combined experience in small business succession planning, and will work with you to create a plan that fits your needs. Call us today at 800.782.8492 to begin planning for the future.

For many people when they approach the topic of estate planning, they immediately think of money.

From medical treatment decisions to multigenerational trusts, the right attorney can assist you in virtually all areas.
First and foremost, having an estate planning attorney means you’ll have a knowledgeable and objective third-party present when making any decisions related to your estate. When it comes to assigning powers of attorney, especially concerning health and medical related decisions, this alone can prove to be an invaluable asset. An estate planning attorney can help you make the wisest decision in regards to the laws in your state and county.
An estate planning attorney can also help explain some of the more complex rules and regulations regarding setting up trusts, especially as they pertain to tax law. Protect as much of your estate as you can by enlisting an attorney to properly set up your multigenerational trusts so that your family and your family’s family can enjoy the fruits of your labor for generations to come.
