    PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER BLAMES OPEC
    July 15, 1979 - USA

    President Jimmy Carter In a live speech to the American people blamed the long period of recession in the US, on the effects of OPEC's 1973 cuts in oil production and the increases in fuel prices which in turn fueled inflationary pressures. He also said other countries had adapted quicker to the increased fuel prices like Japanese and European auto makers who had much more fuel efficient cars which the American public were now buying.

    ETHNIC CLEANSING
    July 15, 1955 - Bosnia

    Ethnic Cleansing by Bosnian Serbs in the "SAFE AREA" of Srebrenica with tales of rape, massacres and psychological torture, the 40,000 women, children and elderly people who were under the protection of Dutch peacekeepers have been forced to flee what was set up as a "Safe Haven" because peacekeeping forces did not have the mandate to stop Serb forces taking over the town. It is also believed but not yet confirmed that over 3,000 Muslim men have been shot and murdered during the ethnic cleansing, but Bosnian Serbian forces are refusing entry to journalists and international organizations to confirm reports. After a number of investigations by the United Nations mass graves were found and the number of men killed was estimated at over 7,000 Muslim men who were shot dead and buried in mass graves. The General in charge General Mladic was later indicted by the War Crimes Tribunal for genocide but is still at large.

Injuries Resulting From Slip-and-Fall Ac :

ARTICLE INFORMATION :

The article is devoted to slip-and-fall accidents and injuries that they may cause. There is a list of slip-and-fall injury causes and recommendations what to do after the accident.

ARTICLE CONTENT :

Hundreds thousands of people are injured each year - some very seriously - when they slip or stumble and fall on a rough patch of ground, a wet floor or a flight of stairs. As property owners are responsible for sustaining safety on their premises and warning visitors of potential hazards, they can be liable for injuries that happen because of injury-causing conditions on their property. Slip-and-fall accidents can result in various injuries, ranging from the relatively minor to life-threatening.

A slip-and-fall accident can happen nearly anyplace, on public or private property, indoors or outdoors. A slip-and-fall injury can occur due to hazards such as: slippery tiling, unbalanced flooring, rippled carpet or foreign objects on the floor or walkway, bad weather conditions (for instance, ice, snow, or rain), uneven sidewalks, holes, badly lit or unmarked stairs or pathways Slip-and-fall injuries range in severity. A victim may suffer bruises, broken bones, and scrapes that need minimum medical care and heal comparatively fast.

Other victims may suffer a catastrophic personal injury ? a brain injury, spinal cord injury, or burn injury ? that brings on lifelong damage and requires durable medical treatment. In the worst case scenario, an injured person dies due to his or her injuries. If this happens, and the accident occurred due to the property owner's negligence, then the death is regarded as wrongful and can be litigated as such.

The sooner you file a lawsuit after the injury, the better for you. Most slip-and-fall injury claims are lodged within thirty days of the injury, since if you wait too long, it may look like you are attempting to file a frivolous suit instead of a legitimate one. If there is a hint of frivolity in your case, your suit is likely to be dismissed.

After a slip-and-fall accident you should first visit a doctor to see the extent of your injuries. This will prove that you did really suffer a slip-and-fall injury, and can be invaluable in your case. You should keep close records of the medical treatment you got, and records of any work you had to miss and how much money it cost you. Any extra costs, including medicines, transportation, physical therapy, and the like should also be thoroughly recorded. There expenses can be reimbursed, if you win the suit.
