A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to respond to an article a friend, Nick Rishwain, wrote about Kentucky’s opioid crisis and Attorney General Andy Beshear’s complaint that was recently filed against McKesson Corp., one of the major pharmaceutical corporations that is responsible for manufacturing prescription painkillers. According to the complaint, McKesson Corp. helped “fuel the opioid epidemic by failing to halt shipments of suspiciously large or frequent orders by pharmacies of prescription painkillers.”

In his article, Nick, legal technology expert, examined how the lawsuit will likely proceed, what both sides may try and argue, and how those arguments may take place. There’s no denying the fact that lawsuits like these will take up a ton of news headline space in the weeks, months, and even years to come. We have a great deal of work ahead of us to put an end to opioid overdoses, and our work is just beginning—here in Kentucky and nationwide.

The holiday season brings a lot of fun opportunities to go out and celebrate with friends. However, this also increases the chances of drunk driving.

Car accidents can cause serious injuries and damage. A night out with friends shouldn’t end in a life-threatening crash. When you have tips and methods to help people get home safe, then you’ll be prepared the next time there’s a holiday party or you go to a bar.

Happy holidays, everybody! The season is upon us, and that means it’s time for cheer, fun, snowy evenings by the fireplace, gift-giving, and– let’s be honest– a fair bit of stress.

When you experience a car accident, it can cause a lot of physical and emotional trauma. Sometimes, you might not be aware of the injuries you’ve sustained from the accident. Shock and adrenaline might mask your symptoms so you miss the signs. When injuries appear in a delayed manner, it can slow down your recovery because you had no idea there was an injury to treat.

If you’ve suffered from injuries in a car accident, you deserve a law firm that is going to fight for you. In Paducah, KY, that law firm is Daryl T. Dixon Law. We’re here to make sure your voice is heard in the legal system.

After a car accident, it’s important to know where you might have delayed injuries and how they manifest. This knowledge could help you remain proactive after a car accident and stop any symptoms from developing into something more serious.

Kentucky motorcyclists love sharing the open road with one another and enjoying the fresh air as it sweeps past their bikes. There’s nothing quite like a weekend motorcycle trip. One other thing bikers in our state share, unfortunately, is a great deal of public misinformation. A surprisingly large percentage of drivers of passenger vehicles and motorcycles alike are incorrectly informed about motorcyclists and motorcycle accidents.

To help stop the spread of misinformation, here are 5 of the most common motorcycle accident myths and the truths behind them:

1. Other Drivers Can Easily See Motorcyclists

Many motorcycle riders feel that drivers in passenger vehicles and trucks can easily see their bikes since they have greater visibility and larger mirrors to assist them. This is false. The smaller size of a motorcycle makes it easy for them to hide in a passenger vehicle’s or truck’s blind spots. Furthermore, larger vehicles have more blind spots which can be potentially dangerous.
