A recent Fayetteville car accident claimed the life of one woman and left five other people with various injuries, according to WRAL.
One person was driving a car down the highway when he drove off the side of the road, overcorrected, and drove into the opposite lane. That car then collided with another vehicle head on.
A passenger in the second car was killed in the Fayetteville auto accident.
The others suffered a variety of injuries during the North Carolina car accident, and all were taken to local hospitals to be treated.

On July 29, 2009, President Barack Obama visited Needham B. Broughton High School in Raleigh, NC where he conducted a town hall style meeting addressing his healthcare reform bill and the economy. Entrance to the event was granted only to those lucky enough to have secured a ticket. Miraculously, my husband’s name was one of those randomly drawn to receive two tickets.

Plaintiff was justified in refusing a job offer. The job was part-time and paid the plaintiff 82.9% less than his pre-injury job. Furthermore, Plaintiff could not return to work for even 10 hours a week without experiencing pain. Plaintiff was therefore justified in refusing unsuitable employment.
The plaintiff had a prosthetic eye implanted secondary to an injury resulting from domestic violence. Plaintiff was speaking at a seminar in the course and scope of her employment for her employer. During the seminar, the trainer proclaimed that he didn’t even notice her eye. Plaintiff contended that the comment triggered post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and that the claim should be held compensable as an “accident” while in the course and scope of her employment. However, the Court of Appeals affirmed the North Carolina Industrial Commission’s ruling that the event was not an “accident” because it was not an “unlooked for and untoward” event.
I was so saddened to learn this week of the death of a young athlete in the sport of boxing, apparently caused by a knockout blow during a welterweight fight. I find it so hard to believe that a sport in which the primary goal is to knock out your opponent still curries favor among the masses. Other sports may be hazardous and involve injury, but no other sport in the world has as its sole mission to hit someone hard enough to cause a brain injury. Hard to believe . . .

A new study confirms something I have been aware of for years, given my experience with traumatic brain injury cases. Toddlers are at a higher risk for head injuries than any other age group. Many such injuries occur to that demographic due to falls. Just over half the injuries happened in the home, with school, sports venues and playgrounds also being common sites for injury. Most injuries to infants were caused by falls off of furniture. The lesson here is clear: Parental supervision plays the largest single role in preventing head injuries in children. My wife often accuses me of being overly paranoid about our son suffering from a fall, but my paranoid approach is simply because I have seen so many instances of significant injury to the brain from a fall that could have been prevented . Some falls cannot be helped and will undoubtedly occur, but our job as parents is to prevent those we can. For a link to the full article discussing the study, click on the following:

The plaintiff was injured in a car wreck while on the job. The Plaintiff recovered from the at fault driver and his own underinsured (UIM) motorists coverage. The plaintiff also received Worker’s Compensation benefits. The Worker’s Compensation carrier claimed on a lien on the funds collected from the at fault driver. The lien was $182,961. The Court of Appeals held that the superior court did not abuse its discretion in reducing the Workers Compensation lien to $0.
