"The best interests of the child": Anyone who has been through a divorce, paternity action or other family law proceeding will recognize these words, because they are a cornerstone of the legal process. If the family court must issue an order that implicates the welfare of a minor son or daughter, the law requires that his or her interests be considered before a decision is made. This is the same whether the court must resolve disputes over child custody and visitation, child support, or a post-decree modification of any of these matters. Children are generally innocent ...

A recent tanker-truck accident in Dallas, Texas, shut down both directions of a freeway and spilled over 8,000 gallons of fuel. Investigators were able to determine the likely cause of the accident, but in many other cases, there is simply not enough information to determine the reason for a crash. By requiring vehicle event data recorders, or "black boxes," in commercial trucks, investigators could get critical information that could be used to help prevent future crashes. In addition, implementing the National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB) recommendations to ...

Without the level of skill or the most advanced technologies, amateur racers face a significant risk of serious injuries. The Youth Safety Conference, scheduled ...

With state legislative efforts and public scrutiny focused on cracking down on drunk drivers, another equally dangerous practice has been allowed to grow under the radar: driving under the influence of drugs.

The study looked at the number of drivers who died in car accidents from 2005 to 2009. According ...

Earlier this year, a new Florida law took effect with significant consequences for people who are injured as the result of slip-and-fall accidents. The new law makes it more difficult for those who are injured while on the premises of a business to obtain fair compensation for their injuries. With the new law, those injured by slipping or tripping and falling will have to prove the business knew or should have known about the hazardous condition causing the fall, and that the business failed to remedy the situation. Although many business owners celebrate this change, ...

Winter driving presents challenges for everyone, even in places like Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor where most drivers have experience braving icy streets and highways.

Winter car accidents often result when a driver travels too fast for the conditions or follows another too closely. The best practice is to expect lengthier travel times and ...

People who find themselves facing credit card debt, creditor harassment, repossession and other financial troubles have many options to consider. Yet there is no more powerful tool than bankruptcy, which provides advantages such as the automatic stay and the potential to discharge debts and make a clean start. One major benefit of the Chapter 7 bankruptcy process is the ability to protect certain assets from seizure and sale, which could then be used to pay the claims of your creditors. Each state identifies the extent of exemptions it will allow under the U.S. Bankruptcy ...
