Although most New Yorkers welcome summer, the warmer weather also correlates with a rise in crime. School-age teenagers are on break from school and people spend more time outdoors, perhaps explaining why New York City experiences increased violence in the summer. Still, much of the crime is preventable when landlords take basic precautions. One such preventable crime recently occurred in upper Manhattan. A 14-year-old girl suffered an attempted sexual assault in an apartment building stairwell in Inwood. Fortunately, she was able to fight off the attacker. While this ...

A doctor is not just a mechanic, tinkering with various body parts until they're humming along at maximum efficiency. No, a doctor can be much more to his or her patients. The bond between doctor and patient is quite often intimate. Understandably, when you are injured at work, usually you'd prefer to see your own doctor. However, under the strictures of the Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation system, you are not always able to do so. For anyone who faces a workplace injury or occupational illness, it is important to understand the circumstances that guide which physician ...

An explosion or fire at the workplace can be deadly. The risk of an explosion is particularly high at grain bins and grain elevators across the Midwest. In April 2010, a grain silo in Chester, Illinois exploded, injuring four workers. Three of the victims were badly burned in the Illinois work site accident. In the accident, wheat middlings -- fine particles of wheat bran or wheat flour that are a by-product of the milling process -- started to heat up. The company delayed dousing the smoldering wheat middlings while trying to find a low cost subcontractor. The heat ...

In the first half of 2012, multiple bills criminalizing the manufacture, sale, use and possession of synthetic drugs have become law in Tennessee. Prior to the passage of these new laws, Tennessee only banned specific ingredients used in synthetic drugs. Now, rather than defining the substances by their actual chemical compositions, the new laws attempt to define them by their effects on users. The new drug crime laws are much broader and encompass many more formulations. Tobacco and convenience stores, which were previously legally selling the substances, now may face ...

After a car accident that causes injuries or property damage, people naturally have plenty of questions about settlement and car accident litigation. Some of the most important issues in most car accident claims involve insurance coverage, whether the at-fault driver was uninsured or the injury victim needs compensation for medical bills and other damages beyond auto liability policy limits. A recent Ohio Court of Appeals case looked at a question frequently asked of personal injury attorneys: What is the statute of limitations for bringing a driver negligence claim ...

Across the nation, drug offenders make up the largest group of federal inmates, based on the crime committed. This type of crime is considered "victimless" because it often does not involve another person who is directly harmed by the drug crime, but states such as Florida are nevertheless requiring these inmates to spend more time behind bars. The war on drugs is responsible for the heightened incarceration rates and the increased prison terms. The Study A recent study conducted by the Pew Center on the States found that there has been a nationwide increase ...

Law enforcement officers statewide made more than 23,000 OVI arrests in 2011, an increase ...

The court may also order you to abstain from using alcohol or other mood-altering substances altogether as a condition of your probation. Terms of Probation To ensure they follow their ...

A first conviction for OVI in Ohio is a serious legal matter, and most people know that the consequences rise significantly for the second or third DUI/OVI a driver faces. Repeat OVI defense requires a clear understanding of the law and a full assessment of the chances of fines, license suspensions, issuance of restricted license plates and incarceration. A recent case in Loraine County involved a driver who had avoided one severe consequence due to a bureaucratic oversight. After he struck and killed a two-year-old boy in 1992 while driving drunk on a motorcycle, the ...

Many patients trust their doctors. Some patients take the time to do research before choosing providers and others may simply trust that hospitals hire competent staff. Regardless of the process used to choose a doctor, most patients trust that they are receiving quality care when they make appointments. Unfortunately, a recent article by the Chicago Tribune may make patients question their doctors' competence. The article reports that Illinois is slowly falling in its national ranking "among the states for its rate of serious disciplinary actions taken against ...

For injury victims and their families, car accidents are difficult to understand. It is especially difficult when the car accident is caused by a blatant violation of the law such as driving under the influence or speeding. Setting aside the common-sense driving standards that the law imposes due to recklessness or a personal lapse of judgment is simply unacceptable. No traffic violation is more blatant than running a red light or stop sign, which can easily lead to an automotive collision or tragic accident with a bicyclist or pedestrian. For that reason, many communities ...
