Tennessee Dog Bite Laws are More Complex Than You May Think
Our dogs are our best friends, an animal long domesticated to co-exist with humans. But we shouldn’t forget that dogs are animals, and predator animals at that. That means that they can, and do, cause injury to people, whether by biting or other ways. You can recover compensation if you are bitten or injured… Read More »
Heart Attacks and Cardiac Events After an Accident
Imagine this scenario: You have a loved one that is in an accident, perhaps a serious one, and perhaps a loved one that is older or elderly. That person has a difficult time recovering, and spends time in a hospital. His or her condition gets worse and worse, and then, about a week after… Read More »
Truck Weigh Stations: What Are They and How Do They Keep You Safe?
You’ve probably driven on highways and seen the signs that announce that a truck weigh station is coming up.

Government Warns: Don’t Put Accessories, Add Ons, on Your Steering Wheel
We all know that although airbags are a safety feature, and one that saves lives, they are still inherently, extraordinarily dangerous items that are just feet away from your chest and our faces. And the danger of an airbag—even when it works properly—has now prompted another warning from the government. Rhinestones on the Wheel… Read More »
The Signs and Severity of Traumatic Brain Injuries
Our brains have an interesting contradiction. On the one hand, they are probably our most important organs—the core of who we are as people. On the other hand, when our brains are injured, we may not immediately feel pain. In fact, at first, we may not even recognize anything is wrong at all. And… Read More »
Recovering Damages for Pre-Existing Injuries
Let’s say that you are injured in an accident. Through your personal injury attorney, you make a claim with the insurance company or to the liable defendant. Your attorney contacts you and says that your claim is being denied, because you have what is called a pre-existing injury. What is a pre-existing injury, and… Read More »
