The Hazards of Unrestrained Items While Driving
On behalf of Shea & Shea - A Professional Law Corporation posted in Car Accidents on Wednesday, October 28, 2015. Did you know that unrestrained items can be extremely hazardous when driving?

Re-living the Infamous Hot Coffee Case – Arguably Not a Frivolous Case
On behalf of Shea & Shea - A Professional Law Corporation posted in Personal Injury on Thursday, July 14, 2011. A lot of people remember the "Hot Coffee" case where McDonald's got sued from an elderly lady spilling hot coffee on her legs. A recent documentary that aired on HBO last month, has brought this case into the limelight once again. People were shocked at the enormous amount of money the jury awarded to the plaintiff, but what people do not realize is how and why the jury got to this 2.9 million dollar conclusion.
