Chain of Issues Not Yet Fixed

A person wearing a red helmet rides a bicycle uphill on a mountainous road. The background features a scenic view of clouds and a distant landscape, suggesting high altitude.
Bicyclists, beware.

Regardless of experience level, those who ride bicycles should forever be cognizant of road and path conditions and avoid areas with routine issues.  In Evansville, Indiana, there is a section of passage known as Pigeon Creek Greenway, located under the Franklin Street bridge, where bicyclists have been injured in the past.  The most recent incident involves a skilled bike rider, who hit a mud patch and toppled to the ground.  She sustained a broken wrist, broken teeth, road rash, bruising, and bleeding.

Cruising for Compensation

A person wearing a blue and white plaid shirt and a helmet sits on a black motorcycle, overlooking a scenic view of lush green hills and a winding river under a partly cloudy sky.
Avoid the wobble

Most of us have witnessed motorcycles weaving in and out of traffic on the highways and cruising through neighborhoods.  While some love the acceleration and adrenaline, others worry about the safety aspect.  A recently filed lawsuit may push people in the middle to the side of the latter.  A North Carolina motorcycle owner, William Rouse, is taking legal action against well-known Harley-Davidson, headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for injuries sustained after his bike crashed.

Doctor Accidentally Removes a Kidney

Two surgeons in blue scrubs and masks perform surgery under bright lights. One wears a blue cap; the other has a floral patterned headscarf. They focus intently on the procedure, with medical tools and equipment visible.
Medical “expert”…?

Generally, people trust doctors to have a grasp on what is going on with their health issues, especially when surgery is involved. While the finer details can sometimes be left to the professionals, a woman from Iowa has some fairly valid complaints against the doctor who performed her surgery. Dena Knapp had surgery to remove a mass on her adrenal gland in 2016, but woke up without a kidney. A South Dakota doctor named Scott Baker performed the procedure and originally stated that he “did not get everything”; which is not entirely true (he did accidentally “get” a healthy kidney). Knapp is suing for an undisclosed amount after suffering from complications.
