Painter in Illinois dies after workplace accident
There are a variety of unsafe jobs. Even when people take proper safety precautions, accidents can still happen. Unfortunately, some accidents can leave families grieving the loss of a loved one.

This is not unlike the procedure used in the reign of the monstrous British King Henry VIII, except that the king himself delegated the final say to his chancellor so …
Report unveils risks to hospital patients of treatment by untrained staff
A BBC investigation has uncovered how shocking risks are being taken in hospitals due to a lack of trained staff. During the course of the investigation, the team found untrained healthcare assistants looking after wards full of patients unsupervised and staff being asked to carry out tasks that they have had no training for, such as lifting patients, taking blood samples, and inserting IV drips, roles that are above their pay grade and beyond their experience and training.

Negligent Acts and Omissions in Massachusetts Personal Injury Cases
Personal injury cases in Massachusetts typically involve claims of negligence. Essentially, plaintiff is accusing defendant of acting in a negligent manner or failing to act (claim of omission), when they are required by law to do so. An example of a negligent act would be drunk driving. Every driver owes a duty to others on the roads and sidewalks to operate their motor vehicle in a reasonably safe manner so as to prevent foreseeable (predictable) injury to other persons and property. When someone drinks to the point of intoxication and then gets behind the wheel of car, they are not acting in a responsible manner, since everyone knows or should know drunk driving is dangerous. If this negligent conduct results in an accident in which a victim …
