Two years have passed since the highly unusual death of 28-year old Jennifer Strange from drinking too much water. It was a case that rocked the legal landscape and rightfully so, as it involved a very unusual manner of wrongful death; death by consuming too much water, or water intoxication. “This isn’t something that happens too often, and this wrongful death left three young children without a mother, and a grieving husband behind,” said Daren […]

Custom closets that double as chipboard cheapies won’t do your home any favors. At some point in time just about every homeowner takes it upon themselves to add extra closet space to their house. Maybe in the back bedroom that has been such a pain over the years, so it can double as a guestroom; or maybe adding extra closet space downstairs to store winter clothing. Whatever the reason for trying to add custom closets, […]

It was a difficult case that involved years of appeals, but the case was eventually affirmed. In 2001, registered nurse, Yuko Yamamoto, was hit by a taxi cab and knocked to the ground. She sustained serious injuries to her neck. Oddly enough, when she filed her lawsuit attempting to recover damages for pain and suffering, a judge said no trial was needed to deal with liability issues because it was obvious the cab driver caused […]

If seniors banded together to make a difference in their health care costs, silver power would be a new word for the future of health care in America.

Cheaper health care is available by doing some comparison-shopping. Everyone loves a bargain. Why wouldn’t they be overjoyed to get something at a better price than they thought they might have to shell out in the first place? This is why it actually does pay to shop around for cheaper health insurance premiums. This doesn’t mean dive right into the first, less expensive option found. It means taking the time to compare what’s on one […]

Getting a Christmas tree and decorating it was a family tradition for Oxnard’s Dickensonian family, the Crachits – despite all that Mr. Scrooge might do to stop them. By golly, they’d get one, but they would need the advice of California Health Insurance agent Matt Lockard to accomplish their festive task. On the meager lucre Ebenezer C. Scrooge paid him, Bob Crachit was losing hope of getting a tree for Christmas. It was for Timothy’s […]

It’s that time of year again, and this doesn’t refer to Christmas, but instead Medicare plans. Every year it’s a very wise move to review all Medicare plans in the family. Certainly this can be done at any time of the year, but it’s even more critical right now since it is open enrollment time until December 31st, 2009. This is when seniors have the option to change their existing Medicare Part D prescription plans […]

Larry Kowalski had been a surfer and still enjoyed swimming in the Pacific. But when it wasn’t summer, the days were depressingly shorter, and Larry asked his California Health Insurance agent Matt Lockard if his policy covered Freudian psychiatric care. As for the demise of his son’s pet turtle, that just wasn’t at the core of his sadness. Larry loved summer. He preferred that halcyon season to last forever, an endless array of longest days […]
