The State Bar of Texas CLE invited Mike Doyle to speak today, March 16, 2012, as the luncheon speaker with Mike Dobbs of the State Bar on the Ethical Use of Social Media at the Advanced Medical Malpractice Seminar at the San Antonio Westin Riverwalk.  It is a great opportunity to join some of the best lawyers in Texas and share some tips on how law firms and their lawyers can not only adapt to, but thrive in the social media environment.  With Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and newer social media platforms, attorneys are challenged not just to keep up, bu also to make sure that they do so effectively, and ethically.  Mike Dobbs works for the State Bar in the Advertising Review Division, and he will add important insights into best practices for lawyers utilizng social media.

On May 10, 2011, the Court of Appeals for the Thirteenth District of Texas affirmed the judgment of the trial court that the surviving family of an employee who was injured at his workplace was entitled to death benefits under Texas law.

Following an on-the-job injury, the employee had died of an accidental overdose of pain medication related to his injuries.  Despite the established law that such a death qualified for death benefits under Texas law, the insurer continued to fight the employee’s family’s entitlement to death benefits through trial and on appeal.

Doyle successfully represented the employee’s family in the underlying case and on appeal.
