Hips are load-bearing joints which affect nearly every movement. When you experience hip pain after a car accident, it’s important to seek medical attention right away.

When we talk about making roads safer, it usually refers to changes like fixing potholes, reconfiguring dangerous intersections and adjusting speed limits. Technology has expanded what we can do.

Even small cars driving at relatively low speeds can hurt or kill pedestrians. Larger vehicles—SUVs, minivans, buses, pickup trucks and semi trucks—cause even more damage. Large vehicles present certain driving challenges. Inexperienced drivers...
Living with chronic pain is a uniquely difficult challenge. You might not “look” sick or in pain, but your health issues can cause you to miss work and other daily activities. Your mental health can suffer. Your doctor may not even diagnose the chronic pain, in favor of focusing on easier-to-solve issues. The CDC estimates...
How careful are you when you’re on the road? A sobering new statistic from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is sure to be a prudent reminder. Traffic fatalities soared 10 percent last year, to a 16-year high. 42,915 people died in fatal traffic collisions in 2021. Furthermore, the NHTSA reported “fatal multivehicle pileups...
Driving alongside semi-trucks can be intimidating: they’re large, heavy and have slower reaction times than traditional vehicles. When semis jackknife, they can cause multi-vehicle accidents.
