Workplace discrimination occurs when an employer or potential employer treats an employee or applicant unfairly because of the worker’s inclusion (or perceived inclusion) in a protected class. The most familiar type of discrimination is racial discrimination, where an employer treats certain workers differently because of the color of their skin. Race is just one of many protected classes in which a business can be accused of workplace discrimination. If you, as a worker, experiences discrimination because of any of the following reasons, you may have a legal case.

Tailgating, the practice of driving very closely behind another vehicle, is one of the most dangerous driving behaviors one can exhibit. It’s also extremely common: about three out of four drivers surveyed had been tailgated at least once in the past 6 months. Tailgating dramatically increases the risk of a rear-end crash because if the leading car must come to an abrupt stop, the trailing car will have very little time to react to avoid a collision. Rear-end crashes kill thousands of people across the country every year. Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle ahead of you can literally save your life.
