If your child was seriously injured in an accident that was not their fault, deciding to go to court is often easier said than done.

Even if you are confident that the law is on your side, filing claims, sifting through paperwork, and keeping tabs on a dozen different deadlines is exhausting, especially when your mind is on your child and their future, not insurance negotiations and fine print.

You do not have to choose between your child’s rights and your family’s time to heal.

However, even when burns are accidental, they cannot—and should not—always be blamed on the victim.

5-20-25-Paragard-IUD-300x200 You should not have to think twice about taking your reproductive health into your own hands, but for thousands of women across the country, choosing a Paragard IUD came with a host of hidden risks.

Paragard, sold under the brand name ParaGard®, is a non-hormonal intrauterine device. Most Paragard IUDs are small, T-shaped frames partially encased by copper wire. The copper heavily restricts the movement of sperm and can prevent pregnancy for up to 10 years after installation.
