The brain stem is arguably the body’s most critical area. It connects the brain to the spinal cord, allowing complex signals to travel from the brain throughout the body. Additionally, the brain stem controls critical life-sustaining functions such as breathing, heartbeat, and swallowing. Serious brain stem injuries often result in paralysis, comas, or death.

People often inquire about how many seniors are victims of elder abuse each year. Unfortunately, we have to answer that we do not really have an exact count.

Personal injury advertisements often highlight local law firms’ biggest cases and most favorable settlements. These ads often leave injured claimants wondering if they have six or seven-figure accident cases.

Accidents with large commercial trucks can be devastating, a fact that isn’t surprising considering trucks like 18-wheelers can legally weigh up to 80,000 pounds. Commercial trucks also include delivery trucks, semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, tow trucks, and dump trucks.
