ORLANDO, FL, October 01, 2010 (Press-News.org) A car accident can have a traumatic effect on a person both physically and emotionally and can change your life in just seconds of chaos. Injuries sustained in a car accident can be as minor as a bump on the head or as serious as paralysis or death. Make certain everyone who has been injured receives immediate medical attention if you are ever involved in a car accident because the welfare of the victims is your first priority.
Injuries That Occur Most Frequently
Car accidents can be responsible for many injuries including:
- Whiplash
- Brain and head trauma
- Spinal cord injuries
- Back injuries
- Leg and knee trauma
- Post traumatic stress disorder
Whiplash is the most common injury sustained in car crashes. The most life-threatening injuries are those to the head and brain, neck and spinal cord. Some injuries are not obvious immediately following a car accident and may take hours or days to appear, such as whiplash or a closed head trauma.
Many car accident victims face potentially life-long medical conditions as a result of their injuries because they did not seek medical attention immediately following an accident. You should seek medical attention after a car accident even if you think you have escaped unharmed. Even minor car accidents can result in devastating injuries that result in overwhelming medical bills and time lost from work.
Aggressive and Reckless Drivers
Every year aggressive and reckless drivers cause thousands of car accidents that result in injuries and deaths. The individuals responsible for the car accidents can be held legally liable for all damages that occur. Victims of car accidents have the legal right to pursue financial compensation for their medical expenses, loss of income and pain and suffering. There is no way to get back what was taken away from you by the carelessness of another driver, but recovering financial compensation is an important step in your healing process.
If you sustain an injury in a car accident in Florida, you are eligible to recover financial compensation for the full extent of your losses which can include present and future medical bills, the loss of present and future income and for your physical and emotional pain and suffering.
Please visit the website of the Orlando, Florida car accident attorneys at The Law Offices of Michael Barszcz, M.D., J.D. today (www.themdjd.com) who will focus on your case and the financial compensation you deserve and also understand how an automobile accident can affect your life forever.

Questions about Tummy Tucks
2010-10-01
What is a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a plastic surgical procedure to contour and flatten the abdomen by removing areas of fat and skin. The muscles of the abdomen are then tightened. The tummy tuck helps sculpt the abdomen in a way that exercise and diet alone cannot. Variations of the tummy tuck include tightening the back and flanks, as well as the buttocks and outer thighs (called a body lift). Both a partial, or mini, tummy tuck and a full tummy tuck are options.

Dimple-Plasty: New or Just Newly-Popular?
2010-10-01
According to many media reports, there is a hot new plastic surgery procedure known as dimple-plasty. Although this procedure does seem to be experiencing a surge, some claim this procedure is not new, only newly-popular.
Dimples are commonly described as abnormalities, sometimes even defects, in the zygomatic muscles, which are essential to smiling and other facial expressions. In people with dimples, this muscle has a division, with the smaller portion of the muscle attached to the skin of the cheek. When the zygomatic muscle contracts, the two portions of the muscle ...
Retinal Degeneration Can be Prevented with Nanotechnology Gene Therapy
2010-10-01
Researchers from Tufts University published results from a study showing vision-saving gene therapy to the eyes can be delivered via nanotechnology. A protein called Glial Cell Line-Derived Neurtrophic Factor (GDNF) can protect the eyes from diseases of the retina, such as age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa. The previous method for delivering genetic material with a virus had several problems and side effects.
Although the study is in its infancy, and the results are temporary, mice injected with the GDNF carrying nanoparticle had a 3.9 to 7.7-fold ...

Georgia's Medical Malpractice Limitations Period
2010-10-01
Georgia statutes provide a two year statute of limitations to bring a claim for medical malpractice. Recently, the Georgia Court of Appeals addressed the issue of whether fraud or concealment on the part of a health care provider would toll the limitations period in Wilson v. Obstetrics & Gynecology of Atlanta, P.C.
In January of 2001, Kent and Lise Wilson gave birth to a daughter, Karah Alena Lindsey. The Lindseys contend that during the labor and delivery process, a certified nurse practitioner of Obstetrics & Gynecology of Atlanta, P.C., (OB/GYN of Atlanta) and other ...

"That means you're going to prison Mr. Morales, and you certainly deserve to go to prison." Those were the words of First District Court Judge Thomas Bibus as he sentenced Valentin Fuerte Morales, 37, of Red Wing, to eight years in prison for the assault of an eight-year-old girl and making sexual contact with her nine-year-old sister.
Morales had a "significant relationship" over the girls, meaning that he lived with the girls at the time of the assaults. Over a year of molestation ended when the girls' father discovered the abuse and called the authorities.

Trucking companies and their drivers have been preparing for a new safety initiative that will have a major impact on the industry. The Comprehensive Safety Analysis (CSA 2010) is designed to limit the number of serious trucking accidents.

The CSA will be rolled out to states throughout the next year. New Jersey was part of the ...
The H-1B Visa and Its Impact on Foreign Relations
2010-10-01
America's H-1B Visa allows qualified foreign workers temporary entry into the United States for the purpose of undertaking employment. The H-1B Visa also entitles a worker's spouse and children to live in America, and is one of the most sought after non-immigrant visas. However, this visa only applies to foreign workers who meet certain criteria, and unlike many other visa programs, an American employer must petition United States Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS") on behalf of a prospective foreign employee.
Despite the complications involved in an H-1B ...
