Hi there, I am Terry Roberts. I am going to use this site to share my story and discuss others like it. When I was using prescription medication to control pain, I was unaware how it was impacting my cognitive abilities. Furthermore, the medication was making me extremely sleepy. While driving one day, I caused a serious accident that injured a number of people. I had to hire a personal injury attorney to represent me in court. Although I wanted to cover everyone's medical bills, I could not afford the final bill. My attorney helped me through the process and won a fairly positive case outcome. I will talk about personal injury cases on this site, so please visit often. Thank you.

Defining what is and is not a baby is at the heart of every abortion. It is also at the heart of many wrongful death cases, as state law makes that determination, not federal law. Even though Roe v. Wade gave women the permission to terminate pregnancies, there was nothing in place that helped determine when, exactly, a life was a life. So when a fetus dies late in a pregnancy or the infant takes breath after leaving the womb and then dies, state law determines whether or not mothers can sue for wrongful death. [Read More]

Being falsely accused of a crime can have a devastating impact on a person's life, resulting in a damaged reputation and even jail time if the bogus allegations culminate in criminal convictions.
