Suffering an injury is a traumatic experience. You might have been in a car accident that left you with bruises and whiplash, or you might have fallen from a platform at work and broken several bones. Regardless of the severity of your injury, you are likely dealing with a host of physical repercussions that may be impacting your ability to work, live and perform daily tasks.
Car accidents involving speed and alcohol claim passenger lives
Most Pennsylvania drivers would probably agree that taking risks like speeding or driving under the influence of alcohol can end in disaster. When most people think of car accidents, they imagine multiple vehicles crashing into one another. While this is often the case, on other occasions, the negligent actions of a driver can kill, even if only one vehicle is involved.
Car accidents increase as summer travel heats up
Residents of the Keystone State are out and about, making the most of their summer vacations. After an especially brutal winter that seemed to linger forever, residents and tourists alike are welcoming the sunny months and enjoying the outdoors. While Pennsylvania offers something for everyone, and naturally people are eager to leave home, drivers should remember that crowded roads lead to an increased risk of car accidents.
Distracted driving can contribute to fatal car accidents
When most Pennsylvania drivers think of motor vehicle accidents, many imagine an unavoidable series of events that lead to calamity. However, distracted driving is one cause of serious car accidents that can absolutely be avoided. Distracted driving is generally defined as the practice of driving a motor vehicle while engaged in another activity, typically one that involves the use of a mobile phone or other electronic device. This was the case in a recent story that ended tragically for one man, and forever changed the life of another.
Medical malpractice causes death of Pennsylvania man.
Pennsylvania residents are probably familiar with the term "medical malpractice." Though the phrase has become common in news headlines nationwide, many may not be aware that it can apply to the negligent behavior of a doctor or health provider in any medical field. In the aftermath of a recent tragedy, many are learning that the branch of care known as mental health is often overlooked, and can become a breeding ground for medical malpractice.
