Is speakerphone really safer?

At this point it is common knowledge that distracted driving caused by cellphone use is very dangerous. However, most people think of distracted driving as involving texting behind the wheel or being clearly distracted with one hand off the wheel holding the phone to one’s ear.

In fact, many studies have shown that using hands-free devices like headsets, speakerphone, or Bluetooth audio systems are also very distracting for drivers.

Jury award reflects serious negligence by doctor

A jury award in a medical malpractice case was recently set at $2.88 million, reflecting the serious malpractice on the part of a doctor and his clinic while treating a patient for back pain.

Although this treatment is routine, any procedure involving an injection must be done carefully to avoid infections. One of the key safety measures needed to protect patients receiving an injection is to make sure the skin is properly sterilized, so no outside bacteria will work its way into [...]

Multiple causes led to fatal plane crash

Both the pilot and the aircraft are to blame for the fatal jetliner crash that took place in California last summer, according to recent reports. The airline operating the jet at the time of the crash released a statement saying that their pilots did have an opportunity to abort the dangerously slow approach to the runway that caused the plane to crash into the seawall, but that equipment on board the plane should have intervened or functioned differently to prevent the situation in the first place. A spokesperson from the airline said that while the pilots were certainly in a position of control and could have [...]
