Unsecured Cargo Load Injuries

Trucks are everywhere and play a vital role in our nation's commerce system. Without them, goods would not be able to reach stores, and people would not be able to obtain the items they need for daily life. Trucks also bring materials to jobsites, remove materials from homes and businesses, and assist with a wide range of services. Because of their important function, and because of their size, there have been a number of laws, rules, and guidelines put into place to protect the public who regularly make use of roadways.
Even with these guidelines, rules, and laws, there are still a large number of trucks on the road who are operating illegally, or who have cargo loads that are not properly secured. This puts the public in danger because the cargo can break loose or fall off of many different types of trucks such as box trucks, tractor trailers, eighteen wheelers, flatbed trucks, dump trucks, and a large variety of other commercial vehicles. This places a host of obstacles in the road which can lead to accidents and injuries that can seriously injure or even kill drivers and passengers. In addition to being unsecured, cargo loads can also be improperly balanced, which can cause them to shift leading to poor braking, rollovers, and serious crashes on the nation's roadways.

Do You Need Whole Life Insurance?

If you have a family that depends on your for financial support, you need some form of life coverage. A life insurance policy will pay a benefit to your family at the time of your death. The money can be used any way your beneficiaries wish. There are many types of life insurance policies and it is important to know what to choose.
What is whole life insurance?
Whole life insurance provides permanent coverage. This means that the policy will not expire as long as you keep paying the premiums. This policy type comes with an extra component: a savings account. A part of the amount you pay as premiums is deposited in the policy's account. The cash value grows at a fixed or variable rate. After five or ten years, depending on the policy, you can withdraw money from the account. If the policy gets canceled, the insured received the cash value. You can also borrow against the policy and it works just like a normal loan. If you don't manage to pay your debt before you die, the agency will pay the amount from the policy's coverage value. But keep in mind that this will lower the benefit received by your beneficiaries.

Have You Been Injured Due to Teflon?

Teflon is a chemical that many people are familiar with due to its use in a range of commercial products. Most often, people recognize the name Teflon as it relates to a coating on non stick cookware. This substance has been touted for its many benefits such as making a surface easy to clean, keeping food from adhering, and preventing stains. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that Teflon is found in many different items including cookware, carpets, clothing, pet supplies, gardening items, cleaning products, furniture treatments, automotive products, and even outdoor gear and sporting goods.
This special coating that is found on non stick pans and cookware throughout million of kitchens around the world, while seemingly practical for a variety of purposes, may not be all it's cracked up to be. Teflon has been linked to certain types of birth defects in human beings. The chemical firms that manufacture the substance have come under fire due to the health threats posed by perfluorinated organic chemicals such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). First used in 1945, PFOA is found in water and oil resistant coatings, as well as in Teflon.

The New I-9 Form: What Employers Need To Know

Enforcement of I-9 compliance by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is at an all-time high. Following the audits of 3,000 employers in 2012, ICE work-site enforcement efforts generated over $130 million last year. And to keep employers on their toes, on March 8, the USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) unveiled a newly revised I-9 Form.
Accompanying the new form is the M-274 employer handbook. The Handbook includes examples of correct I-9 completion, using the new form.
Key changes on the new form include:
• expanding the form from one to two pages;
• a slightly different layout;
• additional data fields, plus certain optional fields such as telephone number and email address
• more detailed instructions concerning completion of the form.
While the new form actually went into effect on March 8, 2013, the USCIS provided employers a 60-day grace period to phase out their old forms and begin using the new ones. So on May 7, 2013, employers are required to begin using the new form.
