MALPRACTICE
- MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
- Statute of limitations varies from state to state on how much time you have to file a lawsuit against a doctor or medical provider. In California, for example, the statute is one year from the date of discovery, and if you miss it you may be out of luck. Some states put a cap on how much you can sue for in malpractice cases. You should contact a licensed attorney who specializes in medical malpractice as soon as possible when you suspect a negligent result.

PHONY CURES
FTC went after several websites that were promising a variety of cancer cures. Eleven companies were targeted by the Federal Trade Commission. Most used words like "cancer cure" and "cancer miracle" to attract web traffic and then sponsored links would lead the people to a sales site with supposed cures.
Actually there were over 100 sites claiming phony cancer cures and about a third closed down after receiving warning notices from the FTC. Sites reaching settlements with the FTC and promising not to make unsubstantiated claims include:
Ni-Gen Nutrition of Troy
Westberry Enterprizes of Pineville, La
Jim Clark's All Natural Cancer Therapy of Lousiville
Companies being sued by the FTC include:
Omega Supply of San Diego
