In the United States, nearly 30 million children and teens, ages five to 14, participate in organized sports or other recreational activities. With so many young people playing sports, it’s no surprise injuries happen; however, it may come as a surprise to know that more than 3.5 million children are injured every year in sports. While contact sports, like football, are inherently more dangerous,

You need to be able to trust that your vehicle is safe for the road. One of the main ways to ensure this is to take care of your tires. When tires aren’t properly taken care of, they can lose air or become damaged while you’re driving the vehicle, potentially causing an accident that may result in injuries to yourself and others.
There are a few ways to know whether your vehicle is road-ready and if your tires are as good as they should be for the type of driving you need to do. Here are some tips, as well as some information about how often accidents are caused by poor, damaged, or malfunctioning tires occur.
Tire-Related Accident Statistics
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the following statistics show the danger of failing to keep up with tires.
11,000 tire-related crashes happen each year.
In 2016, 733 total traffic fatalities occurred where tire malfunction was a factor.
Even when one tire fails, a driver may be unable to keep proper control of their vehicle in order to avoid causing an accident. This is why tire-related accidents are such a risk. If people knew more about their tires and how to take care of them, these numbers could be greatly reduced. When you put in the time to maintain your tires, you know that your vehicle is ready for the road.
When we place the care of our elderly loved ones into the hands of a nursing home, we have to trust that the facility will care for them in ways we cannot. Unfortunately, many nursing home residents do not receive the care they need or are owed. As a result, many seniors end up with preventable injuries, or worse.
If you believe your loved one is being neglected, you can take legal action on their behalf. At McMath Wood P.A., our Little Rock nursing home abuse lawyers are prepared to guide you in the direction towards justice.
You may be uncertain as to whether or not your loved one is being cared for properly. Signs of neglect do not always manifest themselves the way signs of abuse do. This is why it’s important to understand what neglect it, how to recognize it, and what you can do if you’re loved one isn’t being cared for properly.
Without the help of Carter Stein and his team, I wouldn't have reached a positive settlement with the insurance companies involved in my complaint. Carter is an outstanding listener and made himself available any time I contacted him. I very much appreciate Carter's great knowledge of the law and the support thought-out this process. Kudos to Carter Stein and the supporting staff at McMath Woods!
