MOGAB & HUGHES ATTORNEYS REPRESENTING FARMERS & COMPANIES SUING SYNGENTA AG

Posted on by David G. Hughes

Mogab & Hughes Attorneys, P.C. is representing farmers and companies suing Syngenta AG in lawsuits related to financial losses suffered when China rejected corn shipments containing a genetically modified seed developed by the agribusiness but not approved for use by China.  We are filing suit on behalf of farmers and businesses seeking monetary and punitive damages from Syngenta, which is based in Switzerland and has operations in the United States.  Syngenta has caused damages to U.S. farmers, grain handlers and exporters, and Syngenta’s conduct in marketing, distributing and selling unapproved corn seed violates the legal standards of the market place because the primary market risk falls on U.S. farmers, grain handlers and exporters and not on Syngenta.  We believe that Syngenta was negligent by “prematurely” selling the GMO seed before it was approved by countries that are major markets for U.S. corn export.  China, a major buyer of U.S. corn, began rejecting imports in November of 2013 after its officials found evidence of a genetically modified corn seed developed by Syngenta that China had not approved.

Car and Truck Accident Recent Cases

Posted on by David G. Hughes

In January, 2015, I resolved an automobile accident claim for the negligent driver’s $100,000.00 policy limits.  Our client suffered numerous sprain and strain injuries and also suffered a torn rotator cuff requiring shoulder surgery as a result of the accident.  After months of negotiation, the negligent driver’s insurance company offered the $100,000.00 policy limits, and I am now pursuing our client’s underinsured motorist coverage in an effort to obtain additional damages on her behalf.

I also recently settled another automobile accident claim this month for the negligent driver’s $50,000.00 policy limits.  Our client suffered an injury to her hip requiring surgery and missed many days from work as a result of her injuries and ultimate hip surgery.  I am now pursuing an underinsured motorist claim on behalf of our client in an effort to obtain additional damages on her behalf for medical bills, lost wages, past, present and future suffering, and potential for future medical care.

If you or your family member has been in an automobile or truck accident, please do not hesitate to call us at 314-241-4477 so we can provide a thorough investigation of your possible case and work to recover on your behalf.

 

 

St. Louis Car Accident Case Settled for $800,000

Posted on by David G. Hughes

I recently settled a St. Louis County Circuit Court automobile accident case for $800,000.00.  After 2 ½ years of litigation and numerous depositions of fact and expert witnesses, the case was resolved on the first day of trial after various Motions were presented and ruled upon by the trial Judge.  My client’s vehicle was struck by another vehicle while stopped in traffic on Highway 270 in St Louis County. The Plaintiff suffered a broken pelvis and post-traumatic stress disorder.  As a result of the injuries related to the car accident, she lost the job she loved as a nurse and was unable to return to nursing.  While many defense attorneys and insurance companies often argue that St. Louis County Circuit Court is a “conservative venue”, our client was extremely happy with the hard work of her attorney and the ultimate outcome.
