Midway Hit With Class Action Lawsuits
Class Action News
[##_1L|1097531157.jpg|width="120" height="138" alt=""|_##]The law firm of Schiffrin Barroway Topaz & Kessler has given notice of a class action suit against Midway Games on behalf of all common stock purchasers. The complaint alleges that Midway violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and charges the company with failing to disclose that it was "grossly underperforming because it was experiencing operational difficulties." Said difficulties would, according to the suit, force Midway to secure debt financing, making the company's previous financial statements so much stuff and nonsense. Or, as the suit puts it, "lacking in any reasonable basis when made."
A bevy of similar suits have been filed by the law firms Federman & Sherwood, Brower Piven, and Brian M. Felgoise, P.C. The suit filed by Vianale & Vianale is particularly juicy, alleging that Midway execs forgot to mention that they'd ditched their own stocks after learning that one of the company's prominent investors, Sumner Redstone, was pulling the plug all further investments with Midway.

Illinois Work Injury Lawyers – Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD.
Accidents in the workplace are often caused by unsafe work conditions arising from ignoring safety rules, overlooking maintenance or other negligence of those in management. While we are one of the largest firms in Illinois dedicated solely to the representation of injured workers, we pride ourselves on the personal, one-on-one approach we deliver to each client.
Work accidents can cause serious injuries and sometimes permanent damage. Some extremely serious work injuries can permanently hinder a person’s ability to get around and continue their daily duties. Factors that affect one’s quality of life such as place of work, relationships with friends and family, and social standing can all be taken away quickly by a work injury. Although, you may not be able to recover all of your losses, you may be entitled to compensation as a result of your work injury. Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD. provides informed advocacy in all kinds of workers’ compensation claims, including:
• Injuries to the back and neck, including severe spinal cord injuries
• Serious head injuries
• Heart problems resulting from workplace activities
• Injuries to the knees, elbows, shoulders and other joints
• Injuries caused by repetitive movements
For Illinois Workers’ Compensation claims, you will ALWAYS cheat yourself if you do not hire an experienced attorney. When you hire Krol, Bongiorno & Given, Ltd, you will have someone to guide you through the process, and when it is time to settle, we will add value to your case IN EXCESS of our fee. In the last few years, employers and insurance carriers have sought to advance the argument that when you settle a case without an attorney, your already low settlement should be further reduced by 20% so that you do not get a “windfall.” Representing yourself in Illinois is a lose-lose proposition.
