Posted on Jun 24, 2009

With the decaying infrastrurcture to bridges and the U.S. rail system a person has to wonder if the Washington and Wall Street distractions are leading this country astray from what it needs to focus on. Rick Shapiro in an article titled 

Metro Railroad Trains Collide Outside Washington, , D.C.--At Least Four Dead, 60 Injured,  discusses the serious rail accident in Washington, DC.  You can watch the chopper video of the scene through the link provided on his website.

This isn't the only serious case of railroad accidents.

Large Damage, Major-Serious Injury and Death Cases

If my son breaks his hand and is admitted to the hospital for a "few" days, what are my options for time off work?

What are the legal consequences in altering a prescription prescribed by a doctor?

Police Brutality: My son was exercising visitation with his daughter; there were NO legal custody papers at the time. A sheriff deputy came to the house, told my son he had to give the child to the mother. Witnesses say my son didn't say a word but turned and walked back inside the house. As he turned to go back in the house the deputy grab him from behind, punched him 3 times, pushed his head onto a 4x4 post, threw him to the ground, handcuffed and arrested him.  I tried to get my son out of jail that night; I took 3 witnesses with me stating my son had done nothing wrong, he hadn’t even spoke a word. The jailer refused to release him until the next morning. I have pictures of some scratches and a black/blue eye. In the weeks that followed my son was charged with disorderly conduct which was later dismissed due to 'in the best interest of justice'. We file a complaint about the assault but the County Attorney did nothing with filing charges against the officer. Several months later the deputy was fired for aggressive behavior. Do we have a good case against the county? And how do we find a good attorney to take it?
