A vape-related illness outbreak is spreading across the United States, resulting in hundreds of injuries and several deaths. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are currently investigating the cause of these illnesses, linked to electronic cigarettes, vapes, and the e-liquids that consumers inhale out of these devices. While the outbreak is relatively recent, the FDA has expressed reg... Read More

On October 3, 2019, NBCLA visited Bentley & More to discuss the circumstances of a Bentley & More client who was horrifically stabbed in a parking structure at Cal State Fullerton almost a year ago.  The brutal attack happened in broad daylight, in a CSUF parking structure lacking vital, common-sense safety features, and included a CSUF Parking employee twice abandoning the victim, leaving her to bleed and suffer.  Greg Bentley is hopeful that by bringing this story to the media, CSUF will be forced to heighten security and make necessary changes to ensure student safety, to promote safer CSUF facilities, and to guarantee proper conduct by CSU Parking Staff. Our client hopes her story will serve as a warning to all the students who park on campus, and as a wake-up call to CSUF to take its students’ safety seriously.

 

Our client told Ms. Philips in the interview, “This man knew that the structure didn’t have proper security. He chose it knowing he would probably get away with it. Had it not been for the fact that I was able to fight him off and provide a description to police, they probably never would have caught him”.

 

Mr. Bentley also went on to say that there have been 24 incidents in an 18 month period in and around that same parking structure where our client parked on the day of her attack.

 

The story was featured on NBCLA 11’oclock News with Darsha Philips. Click here for the full coverage.

Co-Founder Greg Bentley will be featured tonight on NBC News @ 11pm to discuss our client Daniela Sanchez’s horrific stabbing incident that took place October 31, 2018 in a parking structure on the campus of Cal State Fullerton (CSUF).

The CSU Parking & Transportation employee on duty the date of the incident ignored Daniela’s cries for help. CSUF Parking structures failed to provide procedural changes or heightened security in the wake of multiple stabbings on campus. Daniela suffers physical & emotional injuries that will plague her for the rest of her life.

“Daniela was made victim over and over again by CSUF, its lack of attention to student safety, and this shameful employee…” – Greg Bentley

The use of vapes and electronic cigarettes have raised concerns among policymakers, public health officials, and concerned parents alike in recent years. These products, particularly e-liquids and devices manufactured by the company Juul, have used marketing techniques that promote them as safe, hip alternatives to smoking – which makes these products appealing to younger audiences. However, a recent outbreak of vape-related lung illness di... Read More

Many women receive breast augmentation surgery every year, and the majority of these procedures are successful with few side effects. However, certain breast implants may lead to the development of lymphoma – textured breast implants manufactured by Allergan. While this cancer is treatable, it may cause significant damage to a patient’s health and wellness, as well as her financial situation. Contact an Allergan breast implant cancer lawyer if...

When we visit a plastic surgeon to receive breast augmentation surgery, we trust that the products and the procedure are up to professional standards. However, this is not always the case – and we can suffer from severe pain and develop dangerous diseases, such as cancer. One such risk is the rupturing of a breast implant. While a ruptured implant may cause significant pain and discomfort, a rupture itself is not likely to cause cancer. Wh... Read More
