Malpractice Means More than Just Medical Malpractice
When the term professional malpractice is mentioned, many people assume it automatically refers to medical malpractice. This isn’t always the case.

When a recession hits those who want to downsize their cars or give them up to save on gas, they usually opt to buy a motorbike.

It should go without saying that wearing a motorcycle helmet will save lives, but many people opt not to wear them because they don’t look cool – a potentially deadly decision. It’s cool to own and ride a motorbike or some other mode of transportation like that these days. It’s also economical because there isn’t as much gas being used, not to mention parking is a breeze.
