A number of serious motorcycle accidents have made headlines in and around the Pittsburgh area recently, emphasizing the importance of motorcycle safety in Pennsylvania. On March 18, 2014, a South Fork woman was sentenced to prison for up to seven years, and ordered to pay more than $250,000 in restitution for her role in a crash that paralyzed a 42-year-old motorcyclist in Adams Township last year.

Last year, Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber signed into law a medical marijuana "dispensary bill." Prior to the legislation, those with Oregon Medical Marijuana Patient cards had no legal option to obtain marijuana other than to grow it themselves. And those who sold medical marijuana opened themselves to possible Oregon drug distribution charges. The legislation gave the Oregon Health Authority until March 2014 to set up a registration system for stores that sell medical marijuana. The OHA was also tasked with creating rules for security and marijuana testing. Some ...

In response to a potential crash, the bicycle's handlebars would vibrate warning the cyclist to avoid danger.

Teens are smart enough to know the danger of drinking and driving, but naive enough to choose to take the risk according to an article recently published in Forbes.

The study focused on teens making dangerous decisions while driving, like driving while under the influence of alcohol or texting while behind the wheel. Such decisions are dangerous, since both are connected to a higher risk of involvement in a car accident. More on the study The Insurance giant teamed up with Students ...

President Obama has issued a call for deportations to be handled more humanely in the United States, according to a recent statement from the White House. The President has ordered a system-wide review of the methods used by the Department of Homeland Security to enforce the nation's immigration laws, saying that too many families are subjected to the pain of separation due to the nation's "broken immigration system." In recent months, Obama has come under increasing pressure from immigrant rights advocates to stop deportations until comprehensive immigration reforms ...

These restrictions, known as graduated licensing laws, have been widely touted in recent years as a way to help keep teens safe from traffic accidents -- the leading cause of death in that age group, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. However, new research suggests that although these laws are effective at reducing the fatal crash risk for some teens, they may also increase ...

Under Pennsylvania's "implied consent" law, all motorists are deemed to have given consent to chemical testing if arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI). Indeed, the simple act of operating a vehicle within the state subjects drivers to this "implied consent." Specifically, this particular law states that when a police officer has reasonable grounds to believe a driver has operated a vehicle while intoxicated, the officer can request the driver to submit to chemical testing, such as breathalyzer, blood or urine tests. And, while the officer typically ...

A pre-existing condition can complicate an Oregon workers' comp claim The workers' compensation system provides a safety net for employees who suffer serious on-the-job injuries.
