By Scott Burton - According to statistics from the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, a law enforcement officer's job is extremely dangerous with one officer being killed every 53 hours in the line of duty. Even more astounding is that this number is on the rise. In 2011, 173 officers were killed, with 68 of them being killed due to a gun-related incident. It's hard-hit reality to what officers go through each day when they put on the uniform and put the gun in the holster and hit the streets. There is good news though: a good number of these deaths are ...

When oil booms hit, the number of injuries and deaths rise. Louisiana saw this when the rush began in the state in 2008. In 2009, three men died, then two men in 2010, followed by one death in 2011. There were many others whose lives were spared, but they suffered injuries that had a major effect on their lives. However, when shale development lessens, the injuries and deaths do as well. There has not been a death reported in Louisiana in over one year. More Oil Means More Potential for Accidents When the rush occurred in Louisiana in 2008, many workers came to the ...

The use of child support or spousal support may be necessary to provide for children or a spouse after a marriage has ended. The courts determine the equitable amount needed for child support and issue an order as part of the divorce decree. What happens when the non-custodial spouse losses their job or suffers a significant loss of income? In New Jersey, it is important to determine if the income is permanent. Because your obligation to pay child support is created by a court order, your job loss does not automatically eliminate your obligation for making your child ...

Every day - in work and at home - Missourians use products manufactured by dozens, if not hundreds, of manufacturers. Most of the time, they simply trust that manufacturers create and design these products with sufficient expertise and skill that they will be safe to use, or if there is some danger associated with its use, that the manufacturer will provide appropriate warnings of these dangers. Unfortunately when manufacturers fail to adhere to these basic duties and produce unsafe or defective products, consumers can be severely injured, and in some cases, killed. The ...

Back in 2010, texting while driving became a primary offense in Washington State, meaning that drivers could be pulled over for reading, writing or sending text messages.

In the first year of the strengthened anti-texting law, state troopers ticketed 602 drivers for texting behind the wheel. But, despite heavy enforcement, many drivers did not seem to get the message: ...

The frailty that so often accompanies old age puts senior citizens at risk of experiencing serious, and even life-threatening, injuries. For that reason, many elderly Wisconsin residents choose to move into nursing homes. By doing so, they hope to remain safe from the hazards that come with living on their own. Unfortunately, a recent study shows that this is not always the case. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, approximately one in five patients experience a fall within the first month of being admitted. The study looked ...
