FDAZAR LAWSUIT UPDATE: EDWARD JONES “REVERSE CHURNING” PLAN EARNED BILLIONS, MISLED CLIENTS

Posted by admin

in Class Action Lawsuits, Legal Resource, News, Personal Injury

Attorneys for former clients of Edward Jones accuse the investment services giant of failing to disclose key aspects of a new program that generated more than $17.2 billion in revenue, much of it at the expense of “small-town, middle-class, buy-and-hold investors” who were misled about high monthly fees. The allegations can be found in a recent court filing by Franklin D. Azar & Associates, opposing efforts by Edward Jones to dismiss a class-action lawsuit brought by former clients, who claim that their assets were shifted into costly fee-based accounts as part of a “reverse churning” scheme.

TIPS FOR PUTTING THE BRAKES ON ROAD RAGE

Posted by admin

in Car Accidents, Personal Injury, Truck Accidents, Wrongful Death

There are few situations on the road that are as scary and potentially dangerous as dealing with an aggressive driver — the kind who speeds around you and cuts you off, tailgates relentlessly, leans on the horn, makes rude gestures, and generally tries to take out some deep-seated frustrations on the rest of the motoring public. Such episodes are becoming increasingly common in places like Colorado, thanks in part to the state’s rapid growth and increasingly congested traffic. According to a federal database, the Fatal Analysis Reporting System, Colorado had 53 crash fatalities in 2016 in which aggressive driving or “road rage”...

How to tell who is at fault in a car accident

In many cases, the parties may be in agreement about who’s at fault. Someone ran through a red light, or failed to yield to oncoming traffic while making a left turn, or pulled...

WHEN AND HOW TO FILE A CAR ACCIDENT REPORT IN COLORADO

Posted by admin

in Car Accidents, Events, Motorcycle Accidents, Pedestrian Accidents, Personal Injury, Truck Accidents, Wrongful Death

Drivers love shortcuts. But sometimes what seemed like the quick and easy route turns out to be a lot more time-consuming and costly than you expected. The same can be said about the way some people handle car accidents. Consider this situation: A driver in a hurry gets into a minor scrape with another vehicle in heavy traffic; the motorists exchange contact information and decide, since nobody is hurt, not to waste any more time filing an accident report. It happens all the time, but it’s often the wrong move. There are several compelling reasons to file an accident report for any kind...

HOW TECHNOLOGY IS MAKING DRIVING SAFER

Posted by admin

in Car Accidents, Personal Injury, Truck Accidents

It wasn’t all that long ago that the primary safety feature you could find in the most advanced cars on the road consisted of a seat belt that stretched across your lap. Then a few models began offering exotic features such as antilock brakes and dual front airbags (which didn’t become mandatory for all passenger vehicles in the United States until 1998). We now take those life-saving innovations for granted. But in the last few years, a wave of startling, risk-reducing features have been introduced in the auto world; although most of them are not yet standard on all vehicles, they’re...
