Warning Signs That a Friend is Too Intoxicated to Drive

A common way to celebrate events or spend time with friends is to go out drinking at a local bar or have drinks with dinner at a restaurant. Sometimes, friends have too many alcoholic drinks, making it unsafe or illegal for them to operate a motor vehicle. The nationwide legal limit for blood alcohol content (BAC) is .08. If someone is caught driving under the influence (DUI), they will be arrested and will face both criminal and administrative charges. Aside from legal problems, the drunk driver is in danger of causing a car accident and injuring or killing themselves or someone else. This not only leads to them needing a dui attorney but they could go to jail and lose their driver’s license if convicted. Read more

International chemical company BASF Catalyst and its corporate law firm recently asked a New Jersey federal court to dismiss charges that it allegedly lied to asbestos disease victims and their families about the presence of the carcinogenic substance in its talc.

According to Public Justice, an amicus brief was filed in the class-action Williams, et al. v. BASF Catalyst, LLC, et al. case on behalf of the victims and their families, claiming the company and its attorneys should not be able to get away with conspiring to hide the asbestos risk in the talc.

The brief asserts that as a result of BASF’s attempts to conceal the asbestos danger, some members of the class either did not seek injury claims or had their cases dismissed by courts.

Chemical company seeking ‘litigation privilege’

BASF and its corporate law firm are attempting to squeeze their way out of the case through a “litigation privilege” under New Jersey law that reportedly protects companies against civil liability for communications designed to “achieve the objects of litigation,” according to Public Citizen.
