A recent study on display in the American Journal of Public Health reveals that women are 47 times more likely to be injured in a car accident than men.

These gender-biased results are said to be due to safety features. Vehicle safety features are typically designed with men in mind. Therefore, women who are, on average, shorter in height and possess a smaller frame lose certain benefits of these features. For instance, women suffer injuries to their lower body because they have a shorter build than males and therefore the seat belt does not work properly.

To reduce the number of women severely hurt in car accidents, the study suggests that vehicle manufacturers tailor their safety features towards the average woman’s body. These adjustments will aid in the decrease of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident.

A New York jury returned a $1 million verdict in a slip and
fall lawsuit.

The lawsuit was filed by an 89 year-old woman who suffered
debilitating injuries from a slip and fall accident in her apartment. According
to court documents, workers were replacing windows in the woman’s apartment,
furniture was moved and plastic drop cloths were placed down. The woman slipped
on a drop cloth because it was rolled up on the bottom.

Her fall resulted in a serious injury which required hip
replacement surgery and extensive physical therapy. The woman was healthy and
active at the time of the accident and, although she is improving, her mobility
will never be the same.

The lawsuit sought damages of $900,000. After deliberating
for less than an hour, the jury awarded the plaintiff $1,050,000. The verdict
included $450,000 for past pain and suffering, and $600,000 for future pain and
suffering.

against AstraZeneca claiming she suffered multiple foot fractures as a result
of taking Nexium and Prilosec.

brittle after long-term use. The lawsuit says Poznavich suffered multiple
fractures in both feet, resulting in severe pain.

as proton pump inhibitors. Nexium is AstraZeneca’s best selling prescription
