Throughout the country, many cities have moved to draft legislation that bans the ownership of certain breeds of dogs. The efforts stem from the theory that only specific breeds, or mixes thereof, afford the highest probability of generating a dog bite incident. However, according to statistics compiled by many jurisdictions, possibly even in Massachusetts, the truth is that any dog can bite.

The media frequently provides coverage whenever an attack is carried out on a person, particularly when the aggressor is of the vilified Pit bull…

Unfortunately, one fatal car accident in Massachusetts recently took the life of a pedestrian. The accident took place on the evening of May 12 at around 9:30 p.m. and involved one vehicle…

In a recent report, a victim who lost his life in one such incident was working on a sewer system at the time of the deadly accident. OSHA has indicated that it is now investigating…

On behalf of posted in Spinal Cord Injuries on Friday May 9, 2014
