Personal Injuries Due to Vaping

E-cigarettes are also known as e-cigs or vaping devices, and they are making news almost on a daily basis. While these alternatives to cigarettes have been touted as a safer route to nicotine delivery, in truth, these devices are totally unregulated and are causing catastrophic injuries to users. If you were injured due to the explosion or harm caused from an e-cigarette, you may have the right to receive compensation for your injuries.

Understanding E-Cigarettes

A nationwide study calculates that over 11 million Americans are using e-cigarettes. These devices are extremely popular with younger users. These devices are in the stream of commerce without any government oversight, regulations regarding safety, nicotine regulations, or manufacturing regulations. In fact, many of these devices are created and manufactured in China, which offers no quality control or any kind of oversight regarding these products.

Setting aside the dangers of nicotine itself, the danger of an e-cigarette delivering the nicotine actually astronomically increases the dangers of the user. These devices are exploding and causing severe injuries or even the death of some users. With catastrophic injuries occurring on a regular basis, many users are attempting to receive compensation for injuries that they suffered due to their e-cigarette exploding.

E-Cigarette Explosions

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has concluded that hundreds of injuries have occurred due to e-cigarette explosions in America. Most of these explosions have nothing to do with user error, but rather with faulty manufacturing and poor quality. With no regulatory oversight, the number of injuries and deaths is increasing exponentially, with no end in sight.

While an e-cigarette is small, make no mistake that it can be lethal when there is an explosion. An explosion often occurs in the hand of a user, near the face causing serious injuries to the neck, hands, face and upper body of the user. Other times, the explosion occurs during the charging process and can injure anyone nearby or damage property that is close to the explosion. Finally, explosions often happen during transport, such as in the pocket, purse or on a person. These explosions can happen without warning, and cause horrific injuries or death.

The most common reason that e-cigarettes explode relates to the batteries within the e-cigarette. E-cigarette batteries are made with lithium-ion and have a notorious history for overheating and exploding. If a lithium-ion battery does overheat, hot gas starts to build up. With no place to release this gas, the result is a powerful explosion, which has been compared to the actual force of a pipe bomb or rocket.

I cant express my thanks enough to Paula for all the help she gave me while i was going thru a injury claim. She was very understanding when i first met with her, she explained the process of how the claim would go and that it could take some time to get thru...

In the last week I was referred by a friend to Roman & Roman after two firms wouldn't take my case. I was in a bad auto accident my first week back to work from maternity leave. I couldn't be more stressed out. Mike Lentini and his assistant, Darlene, worked on my personal injury claim. I couldn't be happier with the service they provided or the outcome of my case. What a relief!

My auto accident was handled awesomely, had received great advice from Paula Roman, everything situation was handled with ease from repair of auto, surgery, and the settlement. Will definitely use them again if need should arise.

I had a wonderful experience with Roman & Roman. Paula Roman was amazing! She was very kind and on point! She worked very diligently on my case. Anytime I would have a question she would respond very quickly, and if she didn't her paralegal did. I was very happy with the outcome of my case. I would highly recommend Roman & Roman to anyone who has been in a car accident, and I will be back in the future if I ever need a lawyer again. 10 Stars all around :)

I had a fantastic experience with Roman and Roman as my attorney for my car accident case. They came to me referred by my parents. The morning after my accident I was in Paula's office getting the ball rolling. Paula Roman and her assistant Crystal were there for me every step of the way, explaining what the next step in the process was, answering my emails promptly and answering any questions I had. If I ever get into an accident again (I hope not!) I know who's office I'll be going to.

My roommate Karissa and I contacted Roman & Roman after we were in a car wreck. Mike Lentini was amazing and so was Darlene. The case went so quick and we were amazed at how quickly everything seemed to turn out. Even with the bumps in the road, they were awesome and amazing to work with. I am so glad that we contacted them...

Paula Roman did a great job helping my daughter win a settlement from a car accident. She always was available when I needed her and worked hard to get the best results. I highly recommend her.

Excellent!. They handled my case very effectively and the results were just what was needed. I would recommend their services!!

" I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LAW FIRM TO ANYONE SEEKING EXCELLENT ATTORNEYS." My first meeting at Roman & Roman I knew I made the right decision. I interviewed several other law firms before I went to Roman & Roman, and I knew at that moment I didn't want any other law firm to represent me. All the attorneys there are experienced, professional, reliable, and overall just excellent.

I had the unfortunate luck of being the victim in a car accident. When I reached out to Roman and Roman for help, their attorneys immediately did so by finding me a doctor who treated me for my injuries. They also helped me with the property damage and depreciation value of my car. I was very pleased with the outcome of my personal injury claim and highly recommend their firm.

I needed a lawyer for an injury accident and, during a google search, I came upon the Roman & Roman Firm which is close to my studio so I contacted them. I give them two giant thumbs up!! Not only did they settle my claim to my complete satisfaction, they completed it in seven months! That is great service my friends.

Hard-working, dependable attorney. Mike was referred by a friend who knew him in law school. My automobile accident was a very difficult one because it included injuries to both my 92 year old mom and me. Mike had the patience, diligence and determination to see the case to fruition. He was able to explain the situation clearly, in layman terms, so I could make sound decisions. I wholeheartedly recommend him as an honest, sincere attorney.

Great Lawyer, Highly Recommend. I've used Mike on several occasions, and have always had the same exceptional service. The biggest difference between him and other lawyers was his alacrity. With other lawyers in the past, it seemed like I was pulling teeth to get updates on my case, but not Mike. He always kept me informed as to what he was doing and what the next step was.

Fair & Fast Settlement!. I needed a lawyer for an injury accident and, during a google search, I came upon the Roman & Roman Firm which is close to my studio so I called them and left a message. Michael Lentini returned my call the same afternoon and invited me to come in right away. That was only seven months ago and my case is already closed! I give him two thumbs up

Lease Agreement. Mr. Lentini did an excellent job helping me review a lease agreement for rental property. His review of the lease agreement was very thorough, to ensure that the arrangements made would be in my favor. When I had questions about the lease, Mr. Lentini personally responded quickly back to emails and phone calls I placed. Overall, I felt that Mr. Lentini was professional, accessible, and genuinely cared about a positive outcome for me.

We were so happy this office was very convenient . They were able to accommodate us as we were on vacation from out of town. They kept us updated throughout the process. I would definitely recommend this office to my family and friends. Thank you !!!

... You won't find genuine people like them often. You will always hear rumors throughout your life that lawyers will "screw you over" or are "rude as hell" but none of these things are true with Roman and Roman!

I hired Roman and Roman to review Real Estate sales contract. Selected them because they were listed with BBB. Extremely pleased with how they communicated, followed thru and helped my family successfully complete the sale of our parents home.This client had a POSITIVE experience with this business.This client WOULD recommend the business to a friend, family member, neighbor or colleague
