One of the problems following a traumatic brain injury is the impact that it has on the relationships among loved ones. While the recovery following a TBI starts with emergency medical treatment, the complications do not end when someone leaves the hospital. Some of the complexities of head and brain injuries could last a lifetime. A few of these include:
Tire blowouts are a common reason for drivers to lose control of their vehicle. This can occur with any type of motor vehicle. Blowouts happen because a tire suddenly loses pressure for a number of reasons, including lack of tire maintenance or defective manufacturing. It is important to know how to control the vehicle once a tire blowout occurs. It is also necessary to learn about proper tire inflation and when they need to be replaced in order to prevent accidents due to tire blowouts.
The latest verdict in a Roundup™ lawsuit against Monsanto of more than $2.5 billion is the biggest yet. A jury in Alameda County agreed with the plaintiff’s attorney that Roundup™ caused Alva and Alberta Pilliod to develop non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Bayer announced that it was disappointed with the jury’s conclusion and said they would appeal. They called the verdict in this Roundup™ lawsuit unjustifiable and excessive. Bayer went on to say that both plaintiffs suffered from past illnesses that could lead to the development of this type of lymphoma.

Recently, a California state jury awarded $29.5 million to a woman who developed mesothelioma from the asbestos present in Johnson & Johnson baby powder. The verdict came on March 13th, after J&J had already settled two mesothelioma lawsuits instead of letting the cases proceed for trial. Sharon Pipes, one of the plaintiffs, claimed that J&J baby powder contains asbestos which caused her to develop mesothelioma.

A father is warning other parents of a dangerous intersection in Elk Grove. Earlier this month, his son, Curtis Hurd, was hit by a motorist while riding his bike to school.

In 2015, Juul, the San Francisco vaping device company, burst on the scene with promises of safety over ordinary cigarettes. Its claims of helping people stop smoking were unfounded. Instead, it has created a new market largely composed of young adults, teens, and children. It uses advertising on social media and a deceptive product image to increase sales. Today, it has grown, and in three years, captured 75 percent of the vaping market sales in the United States. Juul recently announced it will join with the manufacturer of Marlboro cigarettes, Altria. Both companies have built a strong base by marketing their product in a format attractive to children. A group of 11 U.S. senators is questioning their motives in this link between the two giants.
