April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, bringing to light and raising awareness of sexual violence against both women and men. Raising awareness and broaching discussions about the issue is the best way to help individuals and couples understand what a healthy relationship looks like and what actions could be seen as red flags.
Filing a lawsuit after you've been injured because of the actions or inactions of another party isn't inappropriate or mean; sometimes it's the only way to secure the financial compensation you need to move forward with your life.
Accidents involving commercial semi-trailers and passenger vehicles are an entirely different animal from accidents involving cars and pickups only. The large size and massive weight of a semi create a bigger risk of more severe injuries. The steps you take after a truck accident mimic what you do in any traffic accident to an extent but also take on more urgency.
This April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and while most people now know what distracted driving is, they don't realize that they are likely taking part in it daily. Distracted driving can be as dangerous as drowsy or drunk driving, and in fact, it can be worse, because your guard is completely down and you don't have a sense that something is off even though you're sober and awake. Take a look at what distracted driving is really all about, and chances are you'll recognize actions that you thought weren't a problem.

If you are driving in the Madison, Wisconsin area, you need to do what you can to prevent car accidents. Safe driving requires more than just following speed limits and traffic rules.

A slip-and-fall accident can occur almost anywhere people walk. Unfortunately, these accidents lead to injuries almost every day. Businesses and personal property owners have a duty to keep their premises safe and up to date, but they do not always do so. A fall may just give you bumps and bruises, but too often falling down leads to significant injuries: concussions, surgeries, spinal injuries, or hip and joint injuries. Keep an eye out for these common places for slip and fall injuries to occur.
As marijuana laws change around the country, the use and consumption of marijuana becomes more socially acceptable.
