Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Announces Class Action Lawsuit

Recent Cases

The action alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose that: (1) China Med’s acquisition of Bio-Ekon Biotechnology Co. Ltd. was from a third-party seller connected to the Company’s own chairman; (2) China Med overpaid by an estimated $20 million in the acquisition of BBE; (3) China Med’s transaction to acquire BBE involved the Company’s use of fraudulent shell companies, including Finnea International Limited which never owned BBE; (4) according to SAIC filings, BBE actually suffered operating losses prior to China Med’s acquisition; and (5) the Company has spent twice as much on “investing activities” as it has purportedly generated from operations.

On December 6, 2011, Glaucus Research Group released a report focusing on the Company’s fraudulent acquisition of BBE and initiating a strong sell for China Med. On this shocking news, China Med shares plunged roughly 23% at the end of trading on December 6, 2011.

Does a car or truck accident count as a work injury?

If an employee is injured in a car crash while on the job, they are eligible to receive workers’ compensation benefits. “On the job” injuries are not limited to accidents and injuries that happen inside the workplace, they may also include injuries suffered away from an employee’s place of work while performing a job-related task, such as making a delivery or traveling to a client meeting.

Regular commutes to and from work don’t usually count. If you get into an accident on your way in on a regular workday, it’s probably not considered a work injury for the purposes of workers’ compensation.

If you drive around as part of your job, an injury on the road or loading/unloading accident is likely a work injury. If you don’t typically drive around for work but are required to drive for the benefit of your employer, that would be a work injury in many cases. If you are out of town for work, pretty much any driving would count as work related. For traveling employees, any accidents or injuries that happen on a work trip, even while not technically working, can be considered a work injury. The reason is because you wouldn’t be in that town in the first place, had you not been on a work trip.

Workers’ compensation claims for truck drivers, traveling employees and work-related injuries that occur away from the job site can be challenging and complex. At Krol, Bongiorno & Given, we understand that many families depend on the income of an injured worker, and we are proud of our record protecting the injured and disabled. We have handled well over 30,000 claims for injured workers throughout the state of Illinois.
