Everyone knows that you're supposed to stay off cellphones when behind the wheel. But that doesn't always stop people from texting or talking on their cellphones despite them knowing better.
If you end up injured because a driver was more interested in a phone conversation than the road, how can you prove that a cellphone played a part in your accident? There are several ways to go about it, including:
Summer blockbusters are a huge attraction -- and spending some time in a cool movie theater is a great way to kill some time on a hot day. However, movie theaters are not immune to accidents.
Most of the time, the injuries don't amount to much more than a stubbed toe and a bruised shin from climbing over other patrons to get to the aisle. Other times, however, people aren't as lucky. A bad fall inside a movie theater can leave the victim with broken bones, slipped discs, spinal damage and brain injuries.
Whether you're retiring or just closing up shop to focus on other goals, it's important to follow the right steps to formally dissolve your business. Otherwise, you could be opening yourself up to unfortunate financial liabilities toward the government, suppliers, customers and employees.

The conviction of award-winning novelist Michael Peterson for the staircase murder of his wife, Kathleen, is one of the most notorious trials in the state's history. Many people still have questions about what really happened, and the twists and turns of the case have haunted many over the years.
Now, the story is back in the news because a true-crime documentary about the case and its aftermath is being broadcast to millions once more on Netflix.
Miranda warnings are the subject of a lot of misunderstandings.
Those misunderstandings can lead to big problems for defendants who rely on them. Here are some of the most important things that everyone should know about Miranda warnings:
Child support is one of the thorniest issues between couples. Whether you pay it or receive it, the odds are good that you aren't happy with the amount.
Is it possible to get the amount changed? Maybe. Short of agreements written into the divorce that change the amount based on things like the cost of living, your ability to easily obtain a modified support amount depends on a couple things:

You're probably used to the idea that there are a lot of dangers on the roads out there -- but you might not realize that one of those dangers is actually beside the road.
X-lite guardrails, produced by a company called Lindsay Corporation, have already been blamed for a number of wrongful deaths and personal injuries. The rails are supposed to prevent rollovers and keep cars from sliding into ditches or over hills.

Several states have already begun efforts to remove or replace the rails while injury victims and survivors press forward with lawsuits against the company.
