What's the matter with kids today? "Bye Bye Birdie" posed that question on Broadway and in film in the 1960s. The generation known as the silents might deserve credit for being the first to bemoan this character gap, but you can be certain that parents in every age bracket since have echoed the phrase.
Truck crashes can differ from most vehicle accidents
When two cars collide on the highway, serious injuries almost always occur. When a semitrailer truck is involved, however, the results can be catastrophic. The mere size of the big rig makes it a formidable hazard. Risks increase exponentially if you add the weight of a load and highway speeds. On a busy thoroughfare, that can translate into serious injury or death.
It's hot out there, is your employer keeping you safe?
Summertime in Georgia; whether you are climate change believer or denier, there is no denying that it's hot outside. That heat is bad enough for workers who toil outside day in and day out. If the humidity happens to rise on any given day, the potential for illness and injury due to hazardous working conditions only increases.
Can I sue for my motorcycle injury if I wasn't wearing a helmet?
Georgia's motorcycle law is clear. It states, "No person shall operate or ride upon a motorcycle unless he or she is wearing protective headgear." Not only do riders and passengers have to wear helmets, the safety gear has to comply with federal safety standards.
So, your employer doesn't believe you are really injured...
Suffering an injury that no one can see from the outside can be incredibly frustrating, especially when that injury is work-related. You know that your pain is real, you will need medical attention and you will need time away from work to heal. Unfortunately, your boss has a skeptical look in their eye, possibly even thinking you're lying about your condition.
Is Georgia ready for autonomous vehicles?
Technology advances are revolutionizing just about every aspect of our lives and they seem to come down the pike at break-neck speeds. In some cases, the benefits are immediately apparent. In others, the prospects are less clear. Still, cultural forces being what they are in the United States - political, economic and otherwise - we often press ahead without knowing exactly what we might encounter around the bend.
