The risk of doing your own car repairs
Posted on Friday, October 30th, 2009 at 1:09 am
In order to save on expenses, many people prefer to do their own car repairs. However, if the car repairs are done improperly, then this may increase the risk of accidents.
For instance, if the hydraulic system in a car has a glitch, many people will attempt to fix the associated problem. However, repairing hydraulic systems often requires expertise and experience. If the repair is not done correctly, then the repair could lean to further problems, such as air bubbles in the hydraulic system.
These problems may cause the hydraulic system break down, which could cause a driver to lose control of a car and lead to a serious accident.

The dangers of neighborhood cats
Posted on Friday, October 23rd, 2009 at 12:06 am
People are often unaware of the danger posed by neighborhood cats. While these small, furry animals seem to pose no harm, they occasionally attack both children and adults.
These attacks can be dangerous because of the diseases carried by some cats. For instance, if a person sustains a cat bite, then the person may contract rabies. This disease can cause fever, swelling, and even death.
If you have been attacked by a neighborhood cat and sustained a serious injury, contact the Racine personal injury lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, at 800-682-3434.
The dangers of driving ATVs
Posted on Monday, October 19th, 2009 at 5:40 am
While all-terrain vehicles are fun and useful in off-road conditions, they are inherently dangerous to both drivers and riders. Because of their unstable design and heavy weight, ATVs pose serious risk of injuries to both drivers and passengers.
According to figures released by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, the number of annual ATV accidents rose nearly 180 percent between 1995 and 2004. These accidents included serious injuries to both children and adults who incurred tens of thousands of dollars in medical expenses.

How broken blinkers can increase the risk of car accidents
Posted on Thursday, October 15th, 2009 at 5:57 am
When driving down the road, people are sometimes pulled over and have no idea what they have done wrong. In some circumstances, the driver's blinkers are not working, and the police give the driver a citation or warning.
While some people consider broken blinkers to be a minor problem, blinkers are one of the many devices installed on cars to ensure drivers' safety. When they do not work properly, other drivers may not be aware that a driver is about to turn, which may lead to a serious accident. In such cases, the driver who knowingly drove with broken blinkers may be liable for damages.
If you have been injured in a car accident related to broken blinkers, contact the Racine car accident attorneys of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, at 800-242-2874.
The dangers of taking caffeine while pregnant
Posted on Tuesday, October 13th, 2009 at 1:07 am
When women are pregnant, they must take special precautions in regard to the foods they eat and beverages they drink. While many studies warn pregnant women against excessive alcohol intake, pregnant women should also pay attention to their caffeine intake.
Caffeine is defined as a stimulant drug that increases heart rate and blood pressure. It is commonly found in coffee, tea, and a number of soda products. However, many people do not realize that caffeine is an ingredient in chocolate and many types of headache and cold medicine.
It is dangerous for pregnant women because of the stimulant effects on their bodies and their babies. If you or anyone you know has taken caffeine while pregnant, contact the Racine personal injury lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, at 800-242-2874.

The importance of double-checking prescription drugs
Posted on Wednesday, October 7th, 2009 at 6:28 am
Millions of people every week go to the pharmacy. When they receive their prescriptions, they generally believe that the drug types and dosage instructions are correct.
While most pharmacists are diligent and careful when filling prescriptions, some of them make mistakes. When these mistakes occur, the people taking these drugs could be seriously injured.
One way for a person to prevent pharmacist's mistakes is to write down the details of the prescription before dropping off the prescription. Once the drugs are picked up, that person can then double check to make sure that the dosage, type, and instructions are correct.
If you or anyone you know has received a mistaken prescription, contact the Racine pharmacy error attorneys of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® at 800-242-2874.
How to protect your kitchen against potential accidents
Posted on Friday, October 2nd, 2009 at 3:18 am
While many families worry about outlet and stairs when considering househeld safety for their children, one of the most overlooked places is the kitchen. The kitchen contains many appliances and objects that pose very real dangers to children.
To protect against kitchen dangers to children, families should take the following precautions.
One, they should ensure that all knives and other sharp objects are in a safe and secure place. Two, they should check to make sure that all their appliances, including their ovens and microwaves work properly. And three, they should cover all outlets with plugs.
While these precautions will reduce the chance of kitchen injuries, they do not guarantee absolute safety, especially if the injury is caused by a kitchen appliance malfunction.
If you have been injured in a kitchen-related accident, contact the Racine personal injury lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, at 800-242-2874.
