Lindsay Lohan Could Face Jail Time

This has been a tough year for troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan. Not only did her attempt to portray the late Elizabeth Taylor fail miserably on the small screen, but she faces more legal troubles.

Lohan’s lawyer predicts the actress will be exonerated after being arrested in a New York nightclub brawl. But new charges in California could result in jail time for the star.

Train Derailment In The Garden State

Train accidents are far more common than you might imagine. While train accidents aren’t as common as auto accidents, they are often deadlier. Because of their high rate of speed and immense size, trains take a long time to come to a complete stop. They can unleash a path of destruction that stretches for miles before stopping.

A freight train derailed on a railroad bridge that has had problems before, toppling tanker cars partially into a creek and causing a leak of hazardous gas that was blamed for sickening dozens of people.

Fake Car Accidents Are Costly

Car accidents are usually caused by careless drivers. Sometimes car accidents are caused by criminal intentions. There are people out there who make money by faking car accidents. This is wrong because the costs are oftentimes passed on to taxpayers.

There must be an easier ways to make a living than faking car accidents and submitting false insurance claims for those fake car accidents. It also sounds like a ton of work to set up fake chiropractic clinics to generate fraudulent medical records and bills to submit with those fake insurance claims. Stealing people’s identities and submitting insurance claims for them also sounds both ill-advised and rather labor intensive. And stealing the identity of an Iraq war veteran just seems like terrible karma.

Substance Abuse Counselor Was Negligent

Imagine overcoming addiction and working as a substance abuse counselor. The words of a substance abuse counselor, who happens to be a former addict, carry a lot of weight. What happens when their actions fail to live up to their words?

Sherri Wilkins wrote in a Myspace profile that “she used to be into drugs very heavy” and “with that came terrible choices.”

Nothing good ever comes from excessive drinking. Even if you make the right choice and don’t get behind the wheel, you could still be making a big mistake.

Thanksgiving is a day for families to gather around a gigantic feast and be thankful for all the blessings in their lives. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving is also one of the most dangerous days to drive. This year is no exception.

As the Navy football team returned to the practice field in preparation for its game against rival Army on December 8, Coach Ken Niumatalolo and his players were thinking about one of their own fighting for his life in a Miami hospital after being seriously injured in a Thanksgiving night car accident.

Thanksgiving Day Driving Dangers

Thanksgiving is a day to be thankful for all the blessings in your life. It’s also a day to be thankful if you happen to make it to Black Friday. Most people don’t realize that Thanksgiving is one of the most dangerous days to get behind the wheel.

Rosalita Allen was driving to pick up one of her granddaughters just before noon on Thanksgiving last year when she noticed flashing police lights and a blocked road straight ahead.

Partisan Car Accidents

Car accidents are often preventable events that can affect everyone. Unfortunately, your political affiliation could prove to be a risk factor in certain cases.

Traffic accidents are not political, but for whatever reason, states that voted for President Obama in the 2012 election generally have a lower rate of traffic fatalities than those who voted for Mitt Romney.

Drugged Driving On The Rise

California has recently earned another dubious distinction. Apparently, more motorists are driving while under the influence of drugs instead of alcohol.

California officials are warning against “drugged driving” after a statewide survey found drugs that can affect driving in one of every seven weekend nighttime motorists — nearly twice the number of those with alcohol in their system.

Senate Majority Leader Recently Hospitalized

Car accidents can involve anyone. No one is immune from car accidents or the negligent drivers who cause them, not even Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

After a multi-car crash outside downtown Las Vegas a few weeks ago, Reid was taken to a local hospital that afternoon as a precaution. The 72-year-old senator walked into University Medical Center Hospital under his own power.
