INTRODUCTION

I am circulating this Newsletter to my current

and past clients as well as family and friends. It

is designed to update all regarding some of my

current practice areas, to provide some basic

information regarding these areas, and to

announce the establishment of my Website

(www.rflavinlaw.com). The Website provides

additional information, and I plan to write a blog

which will be part of the Website and will

provide updates on some of the areas of law in

which I practice. I am conveniently located at

5777 Mexico Road in St. Peters Missouri. There

is ample parking and there are no steps to access

the building. In appropriate cases, if a client is

not able to come to the office, I will meet with

that client at a location more convenient for the

client.

In some areas of this Newsletter, there is a

reference to the law firm of Kell Lampin LLC.

This firm has considerable experience in the

various practice areas referred to (mesothelioma,

lung cancer, defective drugs/medical devices)

and I work closely with them in handling these

types of cases. We are located in the same

building so it is easy to share the work and

obtain the best result possible for the client.

You have been injured at work. What steps do

you take to make sure your rights and benefits are

protected? There are reporting requirements under

the law that you must comply with within a short

time after you are injured to make sure that your

rights and benefits are protected. In Missouri,

your employer selects the physician you will see

for treatment of your work related injuries, but

there are exceptions to this rule. There are other

rules and regulations you will encounter during

the course of your Worker’s Compensation case.

Your employer will be represented by an attorney

that is familiar with these rules and regulations. It

is important that you have experienced

representation by an attorney with knowledge

concerning the Worker’s Compensation laws,

rules and regulations to handle the case with

regard to your employer. Also, your attorney

should be knowledgeable about the Missouri

Second Injury Fund and should investigate

possible claims you might have concerning that

fund. We at Robert S. Flavin, P.C. have handled

Worker’s Compensation cases for over 30 years

and are completely up to date with all the laws,

rules and regulations involved in a Worker’s

Compensation case, including claims against the

Missouri Second Injury Fund.

PERSONAL INJURY

If you are injured due to the fault of another, what

do you do or not do? Each case and circumstance

is different. For example, if you are in an

automobile accident, you will want to cooperate

with the police investigating the accident.

However, before talking with any insurance

company representative or signing any papers, you

should confer with an attorney experienced in

representing clients in injury cases. At Robert S.

Flavin, P.C., we have represented clients in

personal injury cases for over 30 years. Contact us

if you are injured and we can help guide you

through the issues in your case and get you the

compensation you are entitled to.

MESOTHELIOMA

Asbestos was widely used in numerous products as

fireproofing and insulation up and through the

1970’s. Mesothelioma has been directly linked to

exposure to asbestos. If you, or a family member

or friend suffer from mesothelioma, contact me to

discuss this situation. I work closely with the law

firm of Kell Lampin LLC in handling mesothelioma

cases for clients afflicted with this terrible disease.

LUNG CANCER

There are many causes of lung cancer which are

due to exposure to hazardous substances such as

asbestos, silica dust, radon and environmental

pollutants. If the cause of lung cancer is related to

exposure to a hazardous substance, the person

afflicted with this disease may be entitled to

compensation. If you, a family member or a friend

are afflicted with lung cancer, please contact me. I

work closely with the law firm of Kell Lampin

LLC in handling lung cancer cases.

DRUG/MEDICAL DEVICE CASES

Have you, a family member or friend been injured

by a defective drug or medical device? For

example, Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors

or SSRI’s (such as Lexapro®, Celexa®, Paxil® and

Zoloft®) have been linked to birth defects. Yaz®

and Yasmine®, birth control bills, increase the risk

of increased potassium levels which can lead to

gallbladder damage and blood clots. Trans-vaginal

mesh devices, inserted in women, have caused

medical complications and in some cases have

required corrective surgery. If you, a family

member or a friend have been affected by a

defective drug or medical device, please contact. I

work closely with the law firm of Kell Lampin

LLC in handling defective drug and defective

medical device cases.

ESTATE PLANNING/PROBATE

If a close family member or friend dies and you are

uncertain as to what to do next regarding the

transfer of the assets of the deceased person to the

intended beneficiaries, contact us and we can

advise as to the steps to take to complete the

process. We also advise on Estate Planning

matters, and answer such questions as:

Do you need a will?

Do you need a trust?

Do you need powers of attorney?

We only recommend documents that are consistent

with your wishes regarding the care of you and

your financial affairs during your lifetime (if you

are unable to manage these matters yourself) and

also consistent with your wishes regarding the

transfer of your assets after your death.
