Sexual violence is a pervasive and deeply unsettling reality that affects millions of lives across the United States. The statistics paint a grim picture: about one in five women has experienced rape or attempted rape in their lifetime, and nearly a quarter of men have encountered some form of contact sexual violence.

Behind these numbers are real people—individuals whose lives have been irrevocably altered. These figures are not just statistics. They are testimonies of pain, loss, and the enduring impact of trauma. We have to always remember that every percentage point represents countless stories of human suffering.

This page will provide the most recent data and statistics on the incidence rates for child sexual abuse in the United States. These statistics are current as of September 2024 and are drawn from a collection of sources including government agencies and various non-profit organizations.

On this page, we will explain what cord blood gas analysis is and how the results of this test can be used to determine whether the baby suffered a birth injury during delivery as a result of oxygen loss.

Umbilical cord blood gas analysis assesses the fetal metabolic state at the time umbilical circulation ceases during childbirth. Clamping the umbilical cord is a standard practice after delivery, and research has shown that this test is crucial for evaluating a newborn’s health.

This analysis helps doctors determine if the baby sustained any birth injuries during delivery by indicating whether the baby is experiencing acidosis, a condition that can signal a hypoxic-ischemic event.

How do you sue a company?  There are a lot of great companies out there.  But there are many corporations that are just awful and should be sued. This page is about how to sue a company to remedy an injustice.

Navigating the legal pathway to sue a company might seem challenging, but it’s essential to know that you, as a consumer or an employee, have the power to hold companies accountable for their actions.

On this page, we will explain how pain and suffering damages are calculated in personal injury lawsuits.

Damages in Injury Cases

There are basically two categories of damages that plaintiffs can be awarded money for in personal injury lawsuits: economic damages and pain and suffering damages. Economic damages are supposed to compensate the plaintiff for actual monetary loses caused by their injuries (e.g., medical expenses, lost wages, etc.).
