How can you speed up your recovery after a motorcycle accident?
Motorcycles are smaller, lighter, less visible, and less stable than cars. Motorcycle riders lack the protection of an enclosed vehicle, so they are vulnerable to serious injuries in a crash. Depending on the nature, severity, and extent of injuries, recovery from a wreck can take weeks, months, even years. Some riders never recover completely from certain motorcycle injuries.
How to keep your kids safe around dogs
A dog can be a great addition to your family, offering a special type of companionship, especially for children. I speak from personal experience! Helping care for a dog can also teach your kids about responsibility. But a dog is not a toy.

What to do when a dog bites your child
It’s traumatic for all concerned when a child is bitten by a dog.
Sad Facts: Any dog will bite under certain circumstances, and all children are vulnerable to serious injuries.

Why did my airbags not go off during my accident?
If you were involved in a crash and your airbags did not deploy, you may be wondering why they didn’t. Airbags are not designed to deploy in every collision – only in certain types of accidents.
Why hospitals now have to share treatment prices (and how it helps you after an accident)
One reason people don’t go to the hospital after an accident is the high cost of medical care. Even with good health insurance, many people can’t handle the out-of-pocket expenses that come with an emergency room visit, MRI scan, or surgery. And, most people can’t predict how expensive a medical bill will be because hospitals do not normally share treatment costs publicly.
