Spotting Infections Caused by Road Rash
Road rash is a painful but common injury in motorcycle and bicycle accidents, occurring when a rider falls and slides across pavement or dirt. Even with protective gear, the skin can be scraped off, leaving the area raw, red, inflamed, and bleeding. As road rash breaks the protective barrier of the skin, it can also turn into a serious, or even life-threatening, infection.

Steps in a Birth Injury Claim
Birth injuries can have devastating consequences on children and their families. If your child has suffered a serious birth injury due to a medical mistake, you have a right to seek compensation for your losses. But first, you will need to determine how medical negligence caused your child’s injury and prepare certain evidence to support your claim. Below is a summary of what you need to know before filing a birth injury claim in Georgia.
The Dangers of Chemical Exposure at a Pool
The last thing most people would worry about in a swimming pool is being burned. But these places of relaxation and fun need constant upkeep from property owners to maintain safe water conditions. Mixing chemicals incorrectly or adding too much can put swimmers at serious risk of suffering chemical burns.
How to Spot Internal Bleeding
After an accident, you may be mostly concerned with your obvious, external injuries. That’s understandable, as a nasty cut or broken bone is enough to make anyone panic. However, the real danger may lie in a wound that is practically invisible: internal bleeding.
The Relationship Between Falls and TBIs
Slip-and-falls are almost always caused by negligence. Whether a public walkway hasn’t been cleared of ice, or a wet-floor sign wasn’t put down in a grocery store after an employee mopped, slip-and-falls are often not the fault of the victim.

Georgia has strict laws concerning truck drivers and alcohol. These laws are meant to protect everyday drivers, who could be put at risk if a truck driver gets behind the wheel while inebriated.
In case you are ever injured by an intoxicated truck driver in GA, here’s what you should know.Read more…
How Your Misdiagnosis Could Actually Be Medical Malpractice
When you feel sick or you are in pain, you naturally go to your doctor to find out what the problem is. A responsible doctor will run the necessary tests and look over your results before deciding on a diagnosis. Surprisingly, there are many doctors who base their diagnosis off a gut instinct, or on flimsy evidence, or outdated medical science. What is particularly dangerous about a misdiagnosis is that it can lead to lasting consequences.Read more…
Apartment Fires: The Common Causes
In mid-December, an apartment building in DeKalb County caught fire. The blaze was enormous and more than enough to overwhelm the residents inside. They could hardly breathe and quickly found themselves trapped in their apartments, with no way out except the window. Residents were forced to jump, some of them from the third floor. Many suffered burns, broken bones, and spinal cord injuries. In the end, 18 people were injured in this one fire, including a pregnant woman, a 78-year-old grandmother, and several small children. However, everyone who jumped survived.
The cause of the fire? Still “under investigation.”Read more…
