If you suffered an injury during a medical procedure, you most likely have many questions that need to be answered. The most important question is how did the procedure go wrong?

The doctors, nurses, or hospital staff involved will almost never admit that they made a mistake. In order for you to determine the truth about your injuries, you will need the assistance of someone who has the knowledge of the medical principles involved and the skills to evaluate ...

Following their arrests in February 2012, three Portsmouth, Va., men were sentenced to prison in October 2012 for a synthetic-drug trafficking conspiracy in violation of federal law.

With the housing-market crash and resulting economic downturn, hundreds of thousands of Americans currently find themselves in significant amounts of debt. To meet the demand for help from struggling consumers, some private companies offer debt management counseling, debt consolidation and debt management plans, also called DMPs. However, such programs and services cannot offer the same benefits as good, old-fashioned bankruptcy. Be sure to look at these programs with careful scrutiny and examine all the facts. Debt management and consolidation DMPs are very popular ...

A prenuptial agreement, also known as a premarital agreement, is a legally binding contract that dictates how a couple's assets will be distributed if their marriage ends in divorce or upon death while married. Many people believe that this legal device is only for the rich. While prenuptial agreements are useful in cases where one spouse has significant assets or property, these days, they are quite common for people with varied financial backgrounds. Specifically, 73 percent of divorce attorneys surveyed in 2010 by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers reported ...

For many people, the most difficult aspect of financial hardship is enduring creditor harassment and facing wage garnishment and other harsh consequences of debt collection. While debtors have rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and other laws, debt collectors often abuse those rights by making unauthorized contact or false representations in an attempt to speed up the process. A high profile example of potentially illegal practices recently made headlines in Minnesota when Fairview Health Services was accused of employing harsh tactics to collect ...

Drunk driving is a serious crime in New Jersey. Getting behind the wheel after having one drink too many can bring heavy fines, jail time and months -- or even years -- of suspended driving privileges. The penalties for New Jersey drunk driving offenses may get even stricter soon, if a new bill introduced in the state Assembly moves forward. The bill, which was approved by the Assembly Law and Public Safety committee in late September, seeks to impose new penalties for drunk driving parents or guardians who cause accidents that injure their minor children. If the ...

The United States Supreme Court recently announced it will decide whether the Fourth Amendment allows law enforcement officials to force non-consenting suspects in impaired driving cases to take a blood test without first requesting a warrant. The Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution protects Americans from unlawful searches and seizures.

Though some workplaces offer disability insurance to their employees, these benefits have gotten a lot less common -- and a lot less robust -- in the economic downturn. In 2002, 59 percent of American companies paid all or part of their employees' long-term disability insurance premiums. By 2009, that number had fallen to 48 percent. As such, many Americans have turned to private disability insurance to supplement or replace employer-sponsored policies. Private disability insurance can be a tremendous asset if an unexpected illness or disability strikes. However, coverage ...

Boulder, CO, USA – Climate change and extreme weather events grab the headlines, but there is another, lesser known, global change underway on land, in the seas, and in the air: acidification. It turns out that combustion of fossil fuels, smelting of ores, mining of coal and metal ores, and application of nitrogen fertilizer to soils are all driving down the pH of the air, water, and the soil at rates far faster than Earth's natural systems can buffer, posing threats to both land and sea life. "It's a bigger picture than most of us know," says Janet Herman of the Department ...

SAN DIEGO – (Monday, November 5, 2012) – Heart disease risk factors are widespread among Hispanic/Latino adults in the United States, with 80 percent of men and 71 percent of women having at least one risk factor for heart disease, according to a San Diego State University study funded by the National Institutes of Health. These percentages are much higher than the general population, where approximately 49 percent of adults have at least one major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Findings from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL), ...

If you look old, your heart may feel old, according to research presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2012. In a new study, those who had three to four aging signs — receding hairline at the temples, baldness at the head's crown, earlobe crease, or yellow fatty deposits around the eyelid (xanthelasmata) — had a 57 percent increased risk for heart attack and a 39 percent increased risk for heart disease. "The visible signs of aging reflect physiologic or biological age, not chronological age, and are independent of chronological age," said ...

"They have high blood pressure, but there's no documentation of a diagnosis. We wanted to find out why." Researchers examined electronic health records of 13,593 men and women who were at least 18 years ...

No matter what climate you live in, you're more likely to die of heart-related issues in the winter, according to research presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2012. "This was surprising because climate was thought to be the primary determinant of seasonal variation in death rates," said Bryan Schwartz, M.D., lead author of the study. Researchers at Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles analyzed 2005-08 death certificate data from seven U.S. locations with different climates: Los Angeles County, Calif.; Texas; Arizona; Georgia; Washington; ...
