When we head out on the road, most of us know where to watch for potential car accident threats -- we look ahead of us to see that we aren't following too closely, and behind us to make sure we won't be rear-ended if we need to stop or slow down. At intersections, we watch traffic just in case another driver decides to run a red light or blow through a stop sign. However, there is another car accident threat that a lot of people don't always internalize. On divided highways, many accidents are caused when a driver loses control and crosses over the median, hitting vehicles ...

Support payments from one former spouse to the other are called "alimony" under Texas law, and are also referred to as "spousal maintenance" or "spousal support." Texas statute defines alimony as periodic support payments from one ...

Americans of substantial means have struggled in recent years with tax and estate planning in part because the federal estate tax has become something of a wild card. With the passage of the American Taxpayer Relief Act, known as ATRA, the federal estate tax rate is finally settled, at least for the foreseeable future.

The fiscal cliff is an expression coined to describe federal deficit-cutting ...

Last year, the Federal Drug Administration issued a Class I recall notice for GranuFlo and NaturaLyte Dry Acid Concentrates. A spike in the sudden cardiac arrests and deaths of dialysis patients across the country and in Pennsylvania necessitated the drug recall. The drugs are used to treat acute and chronic kidney failure. When a patient's kidney function falls to 10 to 15 percent, hemodialysis is required. In dialysis, a machine filters wastes, salts and fluids from the blood because the patient's kidneys can no longer do this work. Some of the most common causes of ...
