A lane shift with no warning. A cone line that funnels two lanes into one at highway speed. A drop-off between the old pavement and the new with nothing marking it. Road construction causes crashes, and the driver who hits one is not always at fault. The numbers back it up. The FHWA reports that […]
A child hits their head at a friend’s house, at practice, or in the back seat of a car someone else was driving. They seem fine that night, but problems often show up later. Children are the majority of these cases. The CDC reports that about 7 out of 10 emergency department visits for sports […]
The driver said he was rested. The log says he was rested. Whether either is true is a question the electronic record can answer, and it is often the first thing requested and the first thing to disappear. The stakes are lopsided. IIHS reports that 5,340 people died in large truck crashes in 2024, and […]
Someone tailgated you for two miles, cut in front, and hit the brakes hard. That is not a normal crash, and a road rage accident is not treated like one. Almost everyone contributes to the problem. AAA found that 96% of drivers admitted to aggressive driving behaviors in the past year, and 11% went further, […]
You filed the workers’ compensation claim. The checks started. Then someone mentioned that the general contractor might owe you something too, and nobody at the job site seems able to explain how that works. Construction accidents kill more workers than any other private industry in the country. Construction has the most private industry workplace deaths […]
You visit on a Sunday. Something is off. Your mother’s hair is unwashed, there is a bruise on her forearm, and she goes quiet when an aide walks past the door. You tell yourself she is just tired. Families almost always do. The warning signs of nursing home neglect are usually visible before anyone names […]
Your child was playing in a neighbor’s yard. Now you are in an emergency room waiting for stitches, and someone is asking whether you want to file a report. Children absorb the worst of this. More than 4.5 million people are bitten by dogs each year in the United States, and children account for at […]
A trailer leaves a dock in Joliet with forty thousand pounds inside and nothing holding it in place but friction and habit. Two exits later, the driver brakes hard, the load slides forward, and the trailer stops behaving like a trailer. Cargo loading causes truck accidents more often than most drivers realize, and inspectors write […]
A 28-year-old father of six tragically lost his life in a workplace accident at the Cleveland-Cliffs Burns Harbor steel plant in Northwest Indiana. According to an ABC7 Chicago report, Jonathan Stepp was operating a pot hauler when the fatal incident occurred. Stepp was reportedly employed by Phoenix Services and was a second-generation operating engineer and member […]
You fill a glass at the kitchen sink without a second thought. So does everyone else in this city. The chemicals that may be in that water announce nothing: no smell, no color, no taste. The scale is already documented. Across Illinois, 50% of public water supplies have detected PFAS, and 17% carry levels above […]
