A road surveyor, wearing a reflective vest, was struck and killed by driver as he was standing in a striped, restricted area separating the inside lane from traffic merging onto I-95 in Pompano Beach. The Florida Highway Patrol said the driver crossed into the striped area to get around slower traffic when he struck the 59-year-old worker. The accident remains under investigation; no charges have been filed. According to traffic records, a man with the same name and age as the negligent driver has had two speeding tickets and two careless driving citations since 2009.

In this case, family members of the deceased may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the negligent driver, as well the parties in charge of the construction project who has the obligation to make sure that all safety precautions are in place. An experienced attorney will be able to help the family better understand their legal rights and options.

Pill Mill Doctor in Florida Sentenced to 18 Years Imprisonment

State authorities have announced that a South Florida doctor has received an 18 year prison sentence for his participation in a “pill mill” scheme.

Attorney General Pam Bondi said that the Broward County Sheriff’s Office collaborated with the federal Drug Enforcement Administration to bring the “dangerous drug dealer” to justice.

Dr. Thomas Rodenberg was found guilty of trafficking in oxycodone, racketeering, conspiracy and delivery of oxycodone and other prescription drugs by a jury. He was arrested in August 2012, along with 10 others, after an investigation of a medical clinic in Pompano Beach.

Undercover officers said they visited the clinic posing as patients and were prescribed controlled substances without showing a legitimate medical need. The officers received 55 prescriptions for different controlled substances, including almost 3,000 doses of oxycodone.

Bondi said that Florida has seen a decline in deaths related to prescription drug abuse in part because of crackdowns like this one.

When pill mills prescribe a medication that causes injury or death, they can be held liable, and victims and their families can recover compensation through a lawsuit. At Joyce & Reyes, we have extensive experience with this type of litigation. If you or a loved one has suffered harm as the result of an unscrupulous doctor or pain clinic, contact Joyce & Reyes for a confidential, no-cost consultation.

Florida pill mill doctor could face 350-year prison sentence

admin — Mon, 31 Mar 2014 11:43:18 +0000

A South Florida doctor faces a maximum sentence of 350 years for his role in a Pompano Beach “pill mill.”

A jury in Broward County convicted Dr. Thomas Rodenberg, 54, of 14 criminal charges. These included trafficking of oxycodone (a narcotic painkiller), racketeering, illegal delivery of controlled substances and conspiracy.

In 2012, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency led an investigation into the pain clinic where Rodenberg was employed. It resulted in the arrest of 11 people. During the sting, which spanned three years, undercover police posed as patients and obtained medically unnecessary prescriptions for controlled substances.

According to police, undercover officers obtained 55 prescriptions for nearly 3,000 doses of oxycodone.

Many people legitimately suffer from debilitating pain and need narcotic painkillers to cope. Unfortunately, the lure of personal profit drives some unscrupulous doctors and clinics to prescribe the drug for their own financial gain, not according to the true needs of patients.

If you have been injured due to pharmaceutical negligence or pill mills, contact the attorneys at Joyce and Reyes.
