A horrifying story from a nursing home in Georgia recently came to light. A scabies outbreak was left unchecked at the Shepard Hills Nursing Home in Lafayette, and a elderly woman died from the infestation. The lawsuit filed by the woman's family alleges that health officials knew about the issue but failed to order an inspection.
Nursing homes should be safe places for their residents. However, millions of seniors sustain injuries in these assisted living establishments every year. With the elderly population expected to skyrocket in the United States in the coming decades, these injuries are only going to become more prevalent.

As anyone who has suffered a concussion will tell you, the head is a very delicate part of the body. If you are involved in a car crash, even if it seems like a minor rear-end collision, the impact could be enough to cause severe head trauma, including a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Symptoms of a head injury may not be apparent at first, which is why an immediate medical evaluation is essential following a traffic accident.
Some businesses are not too keen on paying workers' compensation benefits to their injured employees. In fact, a number of work comp insurance companies will deny rightful claims whenever they can.
One common way to avoid paying benefits is to say that a worker's injury is not new. If the employer or the insurance carrier can prove that an employee's injury is pre-existing, they may not have to pay any benefits. There are a few ways that employees can fight back.
When a loved one dies, it is hard on those left behind. When someone passes due to the negligent acts of another, compensation may be awarded to provide financial assistance to those left behind and also to deter others from doing the same to someone else.
