Financial Update March 2020:
Financial Update March 2020: Structured Settlements vs Market Investments In 2019 and early 2020, the stock market appeared to be a smart place to invest personal injury settlement funds. Unfortunately the “coronavirus” is causing havoc with world financial markets. Just this morning the futures market triggered a fail-safe, and halted the fall of stock values.

Why is JUUL Facing So Many Lawsuits?
JUUL Vape Lawsuit Canada – JUUL, the popular e-cigarette manufacturer that controls roughly 75 per cent of the Canadian market, has experienced significant public backlash over the past several months. Vaping – the practice of inhaling and exhaling aerosol produced by a device, often an e-cigarette, that heats e-liquid until it vaporizes – has been legal in Canada for years, but its popularity, particularly among young people, exploded following JUUL’s emergence. Since then, JUUL has become an avatar for everything – real or perceived – that is wrong with the vaping and e-cigarette industries: the health problems, the addiction, the deceptive marketing, and the targeting of teens and non-smokers.
