The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, advocacy groups, and state governments are making a collective effort to stop social media abuse of nursing home residents. An increasing number of people are using social media applications such as Instagram and Snapchat on their cell phones and other electronic devices. Unfortunately, there has also been an increase in the incidences of inappropriate and damaging images and recordings of nursing home residents on these platforms by the very people who have been charged with their care.
Halloween hazards put partygoers and trick-or-treaters at risk for suffering serious injuries or death. A night of spooky fun and revelry, adults and children alike often go to costume parties, take to the streets to trick or treat, partake in sweet treats, carve and light up pumpkins, and otherwise engage in activities celebrating the holiday. Unfortunately, seemingly harmless Halloween activities send many people to emergency rooms and urgent care clinics each year.
When motor vehicles suffer mechanical failures on the road, serious auto accidents often result. Most crashes in Nevada are caused by human error. However, sometimes vehicle parts or systems fail, impairing drivers’ ability to operate their vehicles and potentially resulting in motor vehicle collisions.
When left hook bicycle accidents occur, it is important to determine whether drivers or cyclists are at fault. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the risk of involvement in a crash resulting in injury or death is significantly greater for cyclists than it is for motor vehicle drivers or passengers, despite bicycles only accounting for 1% of U.S. travel. Drivers often do not see or claim to have not seen bicyclists, which can result in them failing to take appropriate action to avoid potentially serious collisions.
