Doctors first discovered Oxytocin in 1952. At the time, many people viewed it as a miracle mother-baby drug that could jump start stalled labor and help avoid serious complications. That’s still true in many parts of the world where sudden and unexpected onset of labor is the norm. But Florida hospitals deliver most babies during [...]
The Sunshine State has the highest number of uninsured drivers in the country. Over a fourth of Floridians have no auto insurance at all. Moreover, Florida has one of the lowest auto insurance minimum in the country. So, thousands of other drivers in the state are dangerously underinsured. When these individuals cause accidents, there may [...]
A new study suggests that young children who sustain a brain injury are three times more likely to have chronic health issues by their middle school years. Brains in young kids are developing functions like executive functioning, organizational skills, and independence, explained lead researcher Dr. Megan Narad. Interference with this critical development causes problems that [...]
A new study indicates that the distracted driving problem may be more serious than first believed, and that the solution may be multi-faceted. It seems that restrictive laws have an impact. The states with tougher cell phone laws, such as Montana and Idaho, had much lower crash statistics than states with weaker laws, such as [...]
Most of us speed much more often than we care to admit. If the road is flat, straight, and dry, the weather is clear, and the traffic is light, speeding is not particularly dangerous. But if even one of those “ifs” is not present, speed is often deadly. In fact, excessive velocity is a factor [...]
Alcohol, speed, and distracted driving cause most of the car crashes in Florida. But motorcycle crashes are different. Instead of an intentional, or at least reckless, violation of the rules of the road, lack of visibility causes most motorcycle accidents. In fact, about a third of motorcycle-vehicle collisions are left turn wrecks. The tortfeasor (negligent [...]
In the Sunshine State, swimming pool drownings are the leading cause of unintentional death for children under 5. Moreover, for every victim that dies, five others are rushed to the emergency room with serious injuries. These wounds often involve brain damage and other injuries which have a devastating effect on both the victim and the [...]
These incidents are hardly ever “accidental” in the ordinary sense of the word. For the most part, these crashes are not unavoidable and inevitable incidents. Rather, they are caused by drowsiness, speed, or some other driver carelessness. However, these incidents are accidental in the sense that they are unintentional. So, Florida’s negligence law applies. Damages [...]
This labor-assistance drug is one of the most essential medicines in the world, according to the World Health Organization. Indeed, almost ever since its introduction in the 1950s, “pit” has been the go-to drug for doctors and hospitals throughout the world when they want or need to jumpstart labor in a pregnant mother. Pit has [...]
In one form or another, this defense appears in a large percentage of the car crash cases in Florida courtrooms. So, it’s very important to understand how it works and, more importantly, how to beat it. Most insurance companies use this defense to shift blame for the accidents away from the tortfeasors (negligent drivers) and [...]
