One of the leading causes of traffic congestion is rubbernecking. Rubbernecking is the term for when a driver takes their eyes off the road to look at a passing distraction, such as a police officer stop or car accident.
Ironically, the act of rubbernecking to look at a car accident can cause another accident.
What should you do if you drive past an accident scene?
Letting someone borrow your vehicle can seem like an innocuous action. If you trust them enough to invite them into your home, why wouldn’t you trust them to use your car?
Unfortunately, there can be unintended consequences to lending someone your keys.
Accidents that happen between cars and motorcycles often have devastating consequences, leaving motorcycle riders with severe injuries and trauma that can last a lifetime. Understanding the most common type of collision helps highlight the risks motorcyclists face and emphasizes the importance of safety measures for both drivers and motorcyclists.
Filing a medical malpractice claim is going to be complex. In addition to the challenges of proving your case, you are also dealing with the emotional trauma of suing a medical professional that you’ve put your trust in. While the malpractice incident might have caused you harm and discomfort, it also exacerbated a separate preexisting condition.

Learning to drive is one of the most exciting moments in any young person’s life. Newfound freedom and access to spaces previously out of reach, along with the exhilaration that comes from taking control of a motor vehicle for the first time combine for what should be an important milestone for newly licensed drivers. However, there are still restrictions that teenagers are held to in order to keep them off the road at the most dangerous times.
Mississippi Code § 63-1-21 states that any driver under the age of 18, for the first 6 months that they hold their full licenses, is only allowed to drive unsupervised between the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 6:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday unless traveling directly to or from work or other educational or extracurricular activity. During those restricted hours, the new driver must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or other licensed driver 21-year-old or above in the passenger’s seat.
Chiropractic care is often sought to relieve pain and improve mobility, especially for spine, neck, and joint conditions. According to a report by Palmer College of Chiropractic:
However, not all experiences with chiropractic adjustments lead to immediate relief. Some patients find that their pain actually worsens after treatment.
It is a time-honored tradition for parents to teach their kids how to ride a bike. Those lessons often start the day after Christmas after Santa has left a new bicycle under the tree. Riding a bike is a skill you carry throughout your life. The same skills you use on the playground, you can adapt for a commute to college or work. There are also miles of amazing bike trails across the state. In other words, bike riding isn’t just for kids.
If you’re taking your bike out for your commute or exercise, you need to assume the same kinds of risks of the road that you would accept when you drive a car. Of course, bikes have more access to areas that cars can’t go to, such as off-road and through parks. What about the other pedestrian areas? Is it legal to ride your bike on the sidewalk in Mississippi?
Suffering a burn or electrical injury while at work can be a traumatic and life-changing experience.
In Mississippi, workers’ compensation laws are designed to help injured employees access medical care and financial support while they recover. One of the most pressing concerns for injured workers is whether they can choose their own doctor for treatment. Understanding your rights under Mississippi law can significantly affect your quality of care and your overall recovery.
A car crash is a jarring experience. It happens in an instant. Unfortunately, the effects can linger for days, weeks, or even longer.
In the aftermath of an accident, chest pain is one of the most alarming symptoms you might encounter.
What does chest pain after a car crash mean?
There are a number of reasons why this pain might be happening. Let’s look at a few reasons.
The moment you step into your car, you get to control your environment. In the summer, you can blast the AC to keep cool, while in the winter, you can crank up the heat to stay warm. Motorcyclists don’t have that luxury. They are constantly exposed to the elements, which is why they need special protection, and it is one of the reasons why motorcyclists wear leather.
Leather is a tough material that stands up to harsh weather. It isn’t completely waterproof, but it repels water, so it doesn’t seep into what you’re wearing underneath. You have to remember to treat the leather for added protection. Leather is also a good layer of protection against blowing winds.
There are many other benefits for motorcyclists who opt to wear leather, though.
