Semi-truck accidents are typically catastrophic or deadly — that is, for occupants of other vehicles. Truck drivers have huge vehicles weighing tens of thousands of pounds surrounding them.

We have an aging population. People all over the world are living longer than ever. There are currently 727 million people over the age of 65. By 2050, this number is expected to double. While this may seem like a good thing, there are some downsides. When so many people are at retirement age, there are fewer young people to …
A person can die for many reasons, but when their death is caused by criminal acts — particularly those perpetrated by a loved one — it can be devastating. Had it not been for the person’s actions, the victim would still be alive. This was the situation that the family of Gabby Petito faced last year when their daughter went …
Many of us go grocery shopping on a regular basis — maybe weekly, twice weekly, or more often. When we go to the store, we expect the same experience — get what we need, pay for the items, load them into our vehicle, and leave. Not many of us expect to be shot and killed by a gunman, but sadly, …
