Most of us visit a grocery store at least once a week never expecting to suffer injuries while we shop. In truth, you may go your whole life without suffering harm in a grocery store, but it is still important to understand the risks. Grocery stores and supermarkets are hectic places filled with employees and consumers, all hurrying to finish shopping or complete their job duties.
A 0.07% does not mean no DUI
A common misconception about DUI laws in Pennsylvania -- and elsewhere -- is that you cannot get arrested if you do not go over the legal limit. You even have people who bring store-bought breath tests with them to the bar so that they can check their own BAC (blood alcohol concentration) before they get in the car. If they blow a 0.07%, knowing that the limit is 0.08%, they think they are safe.

It is safe to say that most Americans know about the recent rash of lung illnesses and injuries linked to e-cigarette (vaping) use. According to a news report published in October, the death of at least one Pennsylvania resident has been linked to vaping. The report also confirms that nine of the state's residents (and possibly 12 others) were sickened from the use of e-cigarettes.

Getting to the bottom of truck accidents and their causes
If you think about it in the most logical way possible, truck accidents (and other vehicle crashes) are simply bound to happen. Roadways here in Pennsylvania and the rest of the country are clogged with motor vehicles of all kinds, including massive tractor-trailers. Chances are you or someone you know will eventually experience a vehicle accident. If the vehicle is a large and heavy commercial truck, serious injuries are very likely to occur.
