In 2007, for example, pedestrians and cyclists accounted for[...]

Beyond the obvious costs like medical equipment and physical therapy, families caring for someone with an SCI must account for home modifications, accessible vehicles, adaptive sports equipment, and mental health counseling. Fortunately, you may not have to cover these expenses out of pocket. If you or your loved one suffered an SCI because of another person’s negligence, the liable party might be[...]

Proper helmets are approximately 37 percent effective at preventing fatalities and roughly 67 percent effective at preventing brain injuries in motorcycle crashes.[...]
Dogs can cause serious harm to a person. Though many canines are part of the family and great additions to the home, some dogs are trained improperly or not at all.
