Fireworks Injuries, Car Accidents, and DUIs Surge Over Fourth of July Holiday
The Fourth of July is a time for celebration, marked by fireworks, barbecues, and gatherings with friends and family. However, behind the dazzling displays of light and the patriotic fervor lies a darker side to the festivities. Each year, the holiday sees a spike in fireworks-related injuries, car accidents, and DUI arrests, turning what should be a joyous occasion into a period of heightened risk and danger. This year was no exception, with alarming statistics underscoring the need for greater awareness and safety measures.
Traumatic Brain Injuries in Focus on National Concussion Awareness Day
National Concussion Awareness Day ® is tomorrow, Friday, September 16th, 2022 so we figured this would be a good time to put some focus on traumatic brain injuries (TBI). As traumatic brain injury lawyers, we have seen first hand the life changing impact a traumatic brain injury can have. Studies have shown that even a “minor” TBI can increase the risk of dementia and other health issues later on in life. When a TBI is caused by the negligent or willful act of another, it only adds to the emotional distress of the injury.
