It’s back-to-school time, and it seems that all the retailers and all the news stations are talking about elementary and high school children. But what about our college students?

Arizona Sinkholes: What Can Happen, and Where
While Arizona sinkholes are rare, they are not unheard of. They have caused fatalities, car crashes, and serious injuries. They can open up at a moment’s notice and take everyone by surprise, and it’s often difficult to figure out where they’ll be. In 2016, one man lost his life after stopping his truck, opening his tailgate, and then being swallowed by a sinkhole that was around 18 feet deep. When authorities arrived, his truck engine was still idling and his tools were on the ground. The sinkhole that he fell into had rapidly filled with water, and he couldn’t escape. Read the rest »

Trips, Falls, and Other Hiking Hazards in Arizona
While Arizona has some of the most scenic hiking trails anywhere in the West, they can also be the most dangerous.

Owner with Emotional Support Peacock Forced to Leave Plane
Many people try to pass off their untrained dogs as service animals, putting other patrons of restaurants, airlines, and shopping malls at risk of being attacked. Recently, a United Airlines passenger was asked to leave the plane because she brought a large peacock with her as an “emotional support bird.” Although she did purchase a seat for the bird, United Airline’s policy is that emotional support animals must sit in front of the passenger’s seat without blocking the aisle or any other seats, and the peacock was too large to fit.

It’s a Trap: Touring the Grand Canyon
Over 5 million people visit the Grand Canyon every year, and it’s no wonder why: it’s a geological marvel, deeply steeped in history, and one of those places you can’t truly experience by looking at photos. You have to visit and stand on the edge to really understand how majestic it is.
But sometimes, those who visit the Grand Canyon come away with more than they bargained for. In addition to the memories that will last a lifetime, some visitors come away with personal injuries that also stay with them for years to come… Read the rest »
The Dangers of Flash Floods and What to Do to Stay Safe
Flash floods can happen in and downstream of any region that receives more rain than usual. What is hard to predict is exactly when the floods will happen, how severe they will be, and where they will be strongest. Sometimes people are caught off guard by floods that started miles and miles from where it rained, and others are affected by floods that occur with little to no notice because of massive amounts of rainfall.

Your Dispute Shouldn’t be on Daytime TV
Anytime someone has a legal dispute, he has a few options. He could choose to forget about it and continue on with his life (though doing so could leave him paying thousands of dollars for something that wasn’t even his fault). He could take it to Arizona small claims court, in which any amount he’d be granted would be very small. Or, he could take his case to a television small claims court such as Judge Judy or Judge Mathis! Read the rest »
How to Avoid Pressure-Treated Lumber Injuries
Pressure-treated lumber is all around us. It is used in decks and raised patios, playgrounds, fences, and other outside fixtures.
Today, pressure-treated lumber is safe for use in any setting. Many stringent safety procedures are in place to ensure that products shipped out for use by construction companies in building projects are safe for the public. But a few years ago, chromated copper arsenic, also known as CCA, was used as a preservative in pressure-treated lumber against molds, fungi, termites, and other pests. Read the rest »
