Are Work From Home Injuries Eligible for Workers' Compensation?
|
|
|
Many people in the workforce are telecommuting for the first time because of the Covid-19 outbreak and physical distancing policies, including California's Safer at Home. This temporary new normal will mostly affect people whose work duties are considered relatively safe, including computer work and making phone calls. And yet, it's widely known that most accidents happen at home. How does this fact apply when working from home? Are people who are injured while working from home able to file a workers' compensation claim?

National Dog Bite Prevention Week Observed in April
|
|
|
Any dog can bite, but nearly every dog bite is preventable. That is the message promoted during National Dog Bite Prevention Week, which began on April 12. Millions of people are bitten by dogs every year, resulting in hundreds of thousands of emergency room visits and hundreds of deaths. Dogs, pet owners, and everyone else all need to be trained to avoid injuries. Dogs of every breed are capable of biting, not just large or aggressive breeds.

Teaching Children About Being Arrested
|
|
|
Among the many things parents hope their children never have to go through is being placed under arrest by law enforcement. But if the current national situation has taught us anything, it's best to be prepared for the unexpected. And unfortunately, the possibility of having a child experience a police arrest isn't remote. Studies estimate that 16 to 27 percent of children have been arrested at least once by the time they turn 18.
