The stories about the cruelty and neglect found in some nursing homes are shocking reminders of the undeserved plight of some of our elderly citizens. In some cases, personnel in the nursing homes are the most untrained and ill-equipped of any of the millions of healthcare workers nationwide. Ample examples of these rogue institutions can be identified in Michigan and in every other state. Some nursing homes have apparently shunned the pride that they should show in the work that they do. Instead, they've created operations that stand only as showcases of nursing home abuse.

Head-on collision example of tragic Michigan car accidents
Modern life depends on motor vehicles for transportation. Unfortunately, this means that car accidents are a common occurrence. Here in Michigan, families know that they should follow the rules of the road both for their own safety and that of others. There are times when there is a clear-cut reason for a car accident, but other times, investigators do not immediately know the cause. Recently, a head-on collision left police asking the public for help in determining what happened.
Cause of crash uncertain in one of Michigan's truck accidents
Car crashes here in Michigan affect far too many families. Sometimes, there are clear cut answers regarding who was at fault for the collision, and the actions of one or more motorists involved could even be considered to be criminal. Other times, the causes are not so easily seen. Truck accidents are particularly dangerous due to the size of the vehicle involved. Police are still investigating one such accident involving a truck and have not yet determined who may have been at fault for the death of a man.
Man awaits sentencing in one of Michigan's truck accidents
Most Michigan residents know that semi-trucks are a vital part of the economy. They are needed to transport goods into and out of the state. Though they are necessary, they can often be involved in motor vehicle accidents since they are so often traveling on the nation's roads. Truck accidents can be particularly devastating due to the large size of the vehicle in comparison to the much smaller cars that it is likely to encounter. Last year, one such truck accident took the life of one man and the accused driver now awaits sentencing after being found guilty of causing the crash.
