Rand Paul: "Fauci Cannot Investigate Himself; Get Him Under Oath"
Thursday, May 27, 2021 - 09:55 AM
Authored by Steve Watson via Summit News,
Senator Rand Paul, who has spearheaded the renewed push to investigate the origin of the coronavirus pandemic, has called for Dr Fauci to be placed under oath and made to testify about the murky 'gain of function' research he was involved with funding at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Paul also urged that Fauci "needs to be excluded from the investigation" because he is too deeply involved in the whole thing.
Appearing on Fox News, Paul spoke about the funding that Fauci and the NIH supplied to China.
"Well, sure it's a lot. And there are some reports that it added up to millions over time. But the other thing he said was that there was no gain of function in the application. There are scientists who looked at the application and who absolutely and categorically disagree with him," Paul noted.
"The other evidence that we have is Dr. Shi from the Wuhan lab published a paper that is clearly about gain of function and it that she thanks her group and Dr. Fauci for funding that paper. So there are a lot of contradictions going on," Paul added.
"I think Dr. Fauci should be made to testify under oath about the money that was given to the lab," Paul said, adding "The good news is yesterday I passed an amendment on the Senate floor that says no more gain of function money can be sent to China."
"The bottom line, he cannot investigate himself. If he was responsible for giving this money. He has every incentive to cover it up and not reveal the truth about it because if the pandemic did come from the lab, he would have great culpability in this," Paul further emphasised.
The Senator, who continues to receive death threats after being so vocal against Fauci, added that "he can't be investigating this, nor can any of his people that he picks be investigating this. He needs to be excluded from the investigation."
"This is very important because this could happen again," Paul warned, adding "I mean, they are experimenting with the SARS virus, which is 15 times more deadly than COVID-19. COVID-19 kills 1%… more than 3 million people. If SARS got out of the lab, that could be 50 million people. This is a very important task ahead of us. We have 11 labs in our country that do this kind of research."
In a separate appearance on the Christian Broadcasting Network on Tuesday, Paul called for Fauci to be fired, asserting "The nicest way to say this, I think he's obfuscating the truth."
After denying for months there was even any gain of function research going on at the Wuhan lab or that it was being funded by the US, Fauci completely reversed his position, admitting that there was 'modest' funding of the research, leading Paul to accuse Fauci of 'perjury'.
Rand Paul: "Dr. Fauci, do you still support funding of the NIH funding of the lab in Wuhan?"
Fauci: "Senator Paul you are entirely, entirely, & completely incorrect. The NIH has not ever funded gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology." https://t.co/gsJetSK2M4

The results of the US-backed gain of function research at Wuhan was published in 2017 under the heading, "Discovery of a rich gene pool of bat SARS-related coronaviruses provides new insights into the origin of SARS coronavirus."
Fauci has come under increased scrutiny as the NIH's involvement with the $3.7 million grant to the Wuhan Institute is further being called into question.

Generic coverage groups can be written by passing their traits as arguments to the coverage constructor. This allows creating a reusable coverage group which can be used in multiple places.
For example, To cover a array of specified index range.
The example above defines a coverage group, gc, in which the signal to be sampled as well as the extent of the coverage bins are specified as arguments. Later, two instances of the coverage group are created; each instance samples a different signal and covers a different range of values.

Israel to name streets in East Jerusalem
Read more: Jerusalem, services, Jerusalem municipality, East jerusalem. Beit Hanina, Meir Margalit
RAMALLAH, December 13 (JMCC) - Israel has begun naming some 1,000 streets in the eastern part of Jerusalem as a means of improving services in the part of the city that it occupied in 1967.
The Jerusalem Post reports that one of the streets will be named after legendary Egyptian singer Um Kalthoum.
The new Umm Kulthum street will be among 86 new street names authorized for the east of the city: 26 in Tzur Bachar, 34 in Beit Hanina and Shuafat and 17 in Isawiya.
For years, streets in the east part of the city lacked official names, making access to basic services such as mail delivery difficult for residents.
Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barakat said of the decision, We are operating in every sector to narrow the gaps of the city's citizens: in education, culture, infrastructure, transportation, planning and construction. Completing the street naming for all the streets in the east of the city will improve the quality of life, and each resident will have his own address.
City Councilor Meir Margalit (Meretz) who holds the east Jerusalem portfolio, estimated that there are at least 1,000 unnamed roads in east Jerusalem and the process of assigning names will take at least a year. In the first round, the community council at Beit Hanina was given aerial photographs and asked to assign names to the highlighted roads.

Ecology and taxonomy of arthropods Ecology and taxonomy of arthropods
Ecology and taxonomy of arthropods
Research at Czech University of Life Sciences Prague
Arthropods are the largest group of organisms, with nearly one million described species. In central Europe, we focus namely on arthropods in the early succession stages and disclimax in human-altered habitats, and on groups of insects and other arthropods with high bioindicative potential (dragonflies, butterflies, ground beetles and necrophilous beetles). The primary focus in taxonomy is on diversity hotspots in Southeast Asia, namely China. Our research team has long-term experience in the following three topics:
Ecology and conservation of dragonflies and butterflies (Odonata, Lepidoptera), diversity of human-altered habitats (especially post-industrial areas), predator-prey interactions.
Ecology and biology of epigeic insects and other soil dwelling arthropods, including interactions with environmental conditions and plants (effects of temperature on development and activity, seed predation, parasitoidism, physiological adaptations).
Ecology, taxonomy and larval morphology of necrophilous beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinoidea) (carcass-emitted volatiles, attractiveness for beetles; taxonomy and species diversity in the eastern Palaearctic region).

The Wichita Central Library is a public library building in Downtown Wichita, Kansas. It operated from 1967 to 2018, replacing the Wichita City Carnegie Library Building and replaced by the Wichita Public Library system's Advanced Learning Library. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. The library is the first Brutalist-style building constructed in Kansas, and the first of the style in the state nominated to the National Register.

Attributes
The library building was designed in the Brutalist style by Schaefer Schirmer & Eflin Architects, predecessor to Schaefer Johnson Cox Frey. It was their breakthrough project, and the firm quickly became the most revered architects in Kansas. The Brutalist style was popular for public buildings in the 1960s, and became especially prominent with the construction of Boston City Hall around the same time as the library building. The structure is functional and plain, with a solidity to convey the importance of literacy. Its vertical beams resemble books on a shelf, reminding viewers of the building's purpose. Unlike many Brutalist buildings, a significant portion of the structure is made of glass, making the space inviting and open.

The cruciform-shaped building replaces the Wichita City Carnegie Library Building, still extant across Main Street. The Brutalist building has a four stories, including a basement, main level, mezzanine, and upper level. It has .

History
The building was designed from 1962 to 1963 and constructed from 1965 to 1967. It won a design award from the American Institute of Architects and American Library Association in 1968.

By 2015, city officials began planning a new downtown library, calling the Brutalist facility too dated to meet the library's current operations. As of 2015, the building's fate was unclear. Proposals were released to demolish the library and adjacent Century II Performing Arts & Convention Center to create a separate new convention center and performing arts center. In 2020, city residents successfully nominated the building to the National Register of Historic Places, against the wishes of city officials and developers. The library is the first Brutalist-style building constructed in Kansas, and the first of the style in the state nominated to the National Register.

From February 2021 to April 2022, the building held a county-operated COVID-19 vaccine clinic.

Eiffel Tower briefly evacuated after bomb hoax

The 131-year-old Eiffel Tower was evacuated for several hours on September 22 after police received a call suggesting a bomb had been placed there.
Hundreds of people, including tourists, restaurant staff and workmen were led away as the area around the Paris monument was cordoned off.
The Paris police confirmed that officers did not find anything suspicious, but declined to provide more details about the anonymous call.
The monument reopened at about 2:25 p.m. local time. Photo: AP
"It was an orderly evacuation, there was no panic," said Manuel, a tour guide on site when the evacuation order was given.
The monument reopened at about 2:25 p.m. local time (12:25 p.m. GMT) under strict security measures, Reuters reported.
Citing unnamed police sources, French journalist Amaury Bucco tweeted that a man "shouted Allahua Akbar" (Arabic for "God is great") and threatened to detonate a device to "blow up everything" shortly after 11 a.m. local time, according to AP.

The iconic landmark in the French capital receives some 25,000 tourists daily in normal years, but visits are down this year because of coronavirus travel restrictions. While the Eiffel Tower is scheduled to be open every day, it occasionally closes because of suicide threats, bomb threats or labor strikes.

In 2018, the north and south perimeters of the Eiffel Tower was retrofitted with bulletproof glass to protect the site against potential terror attacks. The east and west sides of the tower also had metal fencing installed to stop any vehicles that try to ram into the grounds. The perimeters were put in place following a series of terror attack that took place in France in the past decade. In 2015, the French capital was hit with two separate terror attacks in January and November, Forbes said./.

Madrid is set to take action and limit Catalonia's autonomy. Barcelona still wants independence. DW's Barbara Wesel asks: What do the Catalan nationalists want? To live in the 21st century, or the 18th?
As expected, Spain's central government made good on its threat: It has announced it will take steps to enact article 155 of the Spanish constitution. The article opens the door to the severe limitation or total suspension of Catalonia's autonomy. The standoff between the regional and federal governments has escalated to such a degree that the prime minister was forced to act. He has committed himself to reestablishing law and order. Nevertheless, Barcelona remains unwilling to rescind the so-called declaration of independence recently issued by Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont. The situation is reminiscent of a massive pile-up on a foggy freeway.
The fog in this case is of a political nature. What we are currently witnessing in Spain is the absolute collapse of statesmanship. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy seems devoid of any political instinct and is instead acting like a lawyer that is solely interested in the letter and not the intent of the law. He lacks the flexibility and emotional intelligence required of a head of state. He should have taken steps months ago to avert the escalation that has now made this situation so intractable. And the heavy-handedness that he has displayed in arresting independence leaders has only served to further impassion emotions and to galvanize the movement.
The Catalan government, however, is acting just as absurdly: It is driven by ideology, it is stubborn and, above all, irresponsible. The situation in Barcelona seems fatally similar to student council politics: heated rhetoric, heroic decisions and no talk of consequences. Their assumptions are nothing short of irrational. Those fighting for independence are unimpressed by companies leaving the region and the economic loss that has brought about. Not even dwindling tourism numbers have gotten their attention. Sacrifice is what is required of those with big dreams.
But, for what kind of nationalism are the barricades being built? The movement is about the kind of identity politics that seems to be spreading these days: One geared toward differentiation, and arrogant in relation to neighbors. The movement is fueled by a populism that expertly incites emotion through clever propaganda and the masterful manipulation of social media.
Nevertheless, behind all that is simply the banal will to power of Barcelona's leading figures. The Catalan regional government has gotten quite comfortable in its relationship to power and has thus far managed to shake off all corruption accusations leveled against it. But its members are also under the impression that they can up their ante further still. Carles Puigdemont wants to go from being a regional president to becoming a true head of state; someone that takes part in summits and has his place on the international stage.
The problem is that none of this adds up. The Independistas have tied their national identity to a lost battle in 1714 – when the Spanish king took Barcelona in a surprise attack. Catalonia has not been independent for more than two centuries, and many there feel as if they need to make up for lost time. The situation reminds one of Brexit and all of the other irrational flights of historical fancy.
But what is the movement really about in the end? Catalonia is Spain's economic motor, and it is globally successful. That success, in turn, only functions because of Spain and the European Union. Major corporations are pulling operations out of Barcelona in droves – they have desire for neither unclear legal circumstances nor for over-emotionalized nostalgia. The region lives and works in the 21st century but it has fixed its gaze on the past, on the 18th century – on the days of King Philip V. It is an impossible balancing act. Those leading Catalonia's independence movement have to decide just where they want to be, and they must decide to make that the present, otherwise they will unquestionably doom themselves to the ash heap of history.
Pro-separatists in Spain have protested the trial of 12 Catalan leaders with rallies, clashing with police and blocked roads and railways. Several people have already been arrested in the region-wide strike.


Does your company have an employee handbook yet? For the companies that don't have an employee handbook just yet, it is important to get one.
Why is an employee handbook important?
An employee handbook is important part of any company. Not only does the handbook provide new employees with an overview of the company's philosophy and work rules, but it serves a s guide that helps new employees begin their first day on the job on the right foot.
The employee handbook is more than just a guide and on overview of the company. It is also a way for companies to protect their rights, and they do this by outlining the company guidelines for the employees to adhere to.
The employee handbook is also a useful tool to ensure that your employee relationships remain consistent. With the help of the handbook, the expectations of the workplace are clearly outlined and both new and current employees will know what to expect when they read the handbook carefully.
A well-prepared handbook will cover all the legal issues that may or may not arise in the workplace. There is no one employee handbook that will be the same as the next company's because each business is different, and each business would have their own sets of rules, culture, values and practices that they require their employees to follow.
One thing to remember is not to make your employee handbook too long when preparing a copy. If the handbook is unnecessarily long, chances are your employee is not going to be interested in going through the whole thing, which just defeats the purpose of a handbook. Make it just long enough to include all the important information that needs to be in there.
3E Accounting has the expertise you need to assist and guide you in crafting the perfect employee handbook with first-hand experience from our qualified and experienced affiliate experts. Contact us to find out more!

The Creator of HELLBOY, The Co-Creator of i,ZOMBIE and Acclaimed Horror Artist Christopher Mitten Unleash a Terrifying Meditation on The Nature of Evil
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MILWAUKIE, OR— This September, legendary Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, iZOMBIE co-creator Chris Roberson, Criminal Macabre and 30 Days of Night artist Christopher Mitten, award winning colorist Dave Stewart and cover artist Laurence Campbell will present RISE OF THE BLACK FLAME. This five issue miniseries from Dark Horse Comics will present a dark horror story about an ancient, evil power. In RISE OF THE BLACK FLAME, young girls are going missing from the cities of Siam, and the trail leads to the jungle hideout of a bloodthirsty cult-- the Cult of the Black Flame.
"There have been several villains in Hellboy's world who've been called the Black Flame, and the striking visual of a skeleton burning with dark flames is pretty hard to beat," said co-writer Chris Roberson. "In RISE OF THE BLACK FLAME, we reveal that before there was a man called the Black Flame, there was an ancient cult hidden deep in the jungles of Southeast Asia known by that name. We plumb the depths of cruelty and ruthlessness that groups of people are capable of reaching, and explore how this cult which reaches back to prehistoric times is connected to the most dangerous villain in the history of the Hellboy books."
"After all these years it's still so exciting to find new corners (or in this case a giant shadowy, uncharted abyss of horror) of the Hellboy world left to explore," said Mike Mignola.
In addition to RISE OF THE BLACK FLAME, Roberson and Mignola will be co-writing HELLBOY & THE BPRD: 1954 and WITCHFINDER: CITY OF THE DEAD. RISE OF THE BLACK FLAME will mark the Mignolaverse debut of artist Christopher Mitten.
"It is tremendous fun--and a little surreal--to be given the chance to dive into this fantastic universe," said Christopher Mitten. "Mike and Chris (with whom I've long wanted to work) have concocted a fantastic story, and then there's Dave Stewart...I mean, KNOWING Dave would be coloring and then actually SEEING his artistry in action are two wholly different things. Getting a chance to dip my toe into this expansive world has made me want to dig in and explore more of it, to go off into little corners and find what strangeness, what beauty, lurks there."
RISE OF THE BLACK FLAME #1 (of 5) goes on sale from Dark Horse Comics on September 7. Preorder your copy today at your local comic shop!

Pictures: Rolls-Royce announces crewless smart boats by 2020
"As disruptive as the smartphone": Rolls-Royce Marine says remote and autonomous commercial shipping will become a reality by the end of the decade.
TAGS: Rolls-Royce
Rolls-Royce is heading a consortium which is developing the technology to allow crewless boats to be controlled on land.
The first year findings of the Advanced Autonomous Waterborne Applications Initiative (AAWA) project were presented at a conference at Helsinki's Finlandia Hall earlier this month.
Speaking at the conference, the Vice President of Innovation, Rolls-Royce Marine, Oskar Levander said: "This is happening. It's not if, it's when. This work supports the development of remote controlled and autonomous vessels and will enable proof of concept demonstration following the completion of the project. We will see a remote controlled ship in commercial use by the end of the decade."
See the pictures below
Rolls-Royce believes that autonomous shipping will radically change the maritime industry, helping to save money and end the staffing shortages faced by the sector. It will also have the potential to create new shipping services, such as online cargo service marketplaces.
The President of Rolls-Royce Marine, Mikael Makinen, said, "Autonomous shipping is the future of the maritime industry. As disruptive as the smart phone, the smart ship will revolutionise the landscape of ship design and operations.".
The project's technology research is being led by Jonne Poikonen, Senior Research Fellow, Technology Research Centre at the University of Turku, and Dr Mika Hyvönen, Senior Research Fellow at Tampere University of Technology.
Poikonen says individual technologies for crewless ships now exist, but the challenge is bringing them together without it costing too much. Overcoming legal hurdles and regulatory approval, as well as testing the remote control vessels at sea also needs to take place.
Cybersecurity will also be critical to the safe and successful operation of remote and autonomous vessels.
The ships will pilot themselves via sensors such as radar, lasers and computer programmes.

Editorial: We cannot, and should not, expect Skye's tourist industry to disappear
27 October 2019 27 October 2019
The Fairy Pools is one of the island's most popular visitor spots.
We do not know exactly how many tourists now visit Skye each year. Informed sources usually put it at 500,000 to 600,000 people.
It could be more; it is unlikely to be less. It is a lot of visitors to be absorbed by a resident population of 10,000.
So does Skye suffer from an "overtourism" crisis?
Last week Mark Crothall, the chief executive of the independent industry body the Scottish Tourism Alliance, denied that Scotland as a whole suffered from "overtourism".
Instead, argued Mr Crothall, the country has a couple of "pressure points" which in their season attract a lot of people and a lot of publicity.
The most prominent of Mark Crothall's pressure points are — you guessed it — Edinburgh and the island of Skye.
In a sense the question is academic. If Edinburgh and Skye do suffer from overtourism, what can we do about it? In a free country, we cannot stop people from coming here, even if we wanted to.
It should also be recognised that folk visit those two places for different reasons. Edinburgh is an architectural jewel which is at its most crowded during the annual festival. People come to Skye for the scenery — most notably in recent years to the Trotternish Ridge and the Fairy Pools, two undeniably beautiful spots in an island which is full of other undeniably beautiful spots.

Edinburgh cannot be expected to cancel its festival, any more than we want to drain the Fairy Pools or blow up the Old Man of Storr.
And we do not want to stop them coming. They bring money, which provides jobs and kickstarts enterprises and improves the island's economic wellbeing even outside the realm of the local tourist industry.
Professor John Lennon (what else were Mr and Mrs Lennon going to call their baby boy?) of Glasgow Caledonian University's Moffat Centre is presently commissioned by another independent body, SkyeConnect, to carry out a major survey of the impact of tourism on Skye.
Professor Lennon and his colleagues are not due to deliver their report until next spring. But he will offer a taste of its findings so far to the autumn conference of SkyeConnect next month.
We look forward to both the sample and the full report. We can hazard a guess at some of its content.
Skye has been "discovered" by the rest of the world, like a Caledonian Machu Picchu.
Unlike the Peruvian Inca site, however, Skye is a very big island. Unlike Machu Picchu, it is not yet collapsing under the weight of its visitors' feet.
Skye can — and Mark Crothall congratulated the Skyetime campaign for pointing this out — accommodate half a million visitors, and continue to benefit hugely from their spending, particularly if certain adjustments are made to the tourist itinerary.
More people should be encouraged to spend a quiet and infinitely rewarding week in Elgol or Waternish, in all four seasons, than take a whistle-stop, bucket list summer tour of the Storr, the Fairy Pools and back to the bridge.
And of course, local and national government should do much more to improve the basic infrastructure of the island, from roads and parking areas to public transport and public toilets.
Skye has bucked the trend of the rest of the north-western Highlands and Islands by growing its population and its economy in recent years.
That has chiefly been because of the tourist industry. After 150 years of steady and apparently irreversible decline, the growth quite naturally took everybody by surprise. We should now learn to adapt to it, rather than call it "overtourism" and hope that it goes away.

I was wondering if there was a source to go to for all the Berserk prints that have been released. I'm interested in getting some but don't know what to look for on YJA. Can anyone help?
No, there's no source for all of them. You could either contact the people who have them on Rubberslug.com (although Berserk collectors tend to be rather protective of their stuff ;)), or wait on YJ for them to appear. To find them on YJ, I don't know of a better way than to just watch all of the Berserk items for the prints to appear.
[br]thanks for the info! I pretty much figured I would have to play the waiting game on YJA.

The Lord Edward Corinth And Verity Browne Omnibus Books 1 4
Sweet Poison
It is August 1935 and the Duke of Mersham is hosting one of his influential parties, bringing together public figures interested in improving Anglo-German relations. One of his guests is General Sir Alistair Craig VC, who swallows poison in the duke's excellent port and dies just as latecomer Lord Edward Corinth and journalist Verity Browne arrive on the scene. The unlikely pair - the younger son of a duke and a journalist committed to the Communist Party find common ground as they seek for the truth behind the genera's murder and discover that everyone present - including the duke himself - had a motive for wanting Sir Alistair out of the way. First published in hardback in 2000, this classic detective story introducing Lord Edward Corinth and Verity Browne was much acclaimed.
Bones of the Buried
Second in the popular Lord Edward Corinth murder-mystery series; This exciting 1930s murder-mystery is the second in the Lord Edward Corinth/Verity Browne series, following the success of David Roberts' first book Sweet Poison. Corinth returns to London after six months in New York to find his sleuthing partner, journalist Verity Browne, Insisting he investigate a murder in Madrid. It is 1936 and Spain is about to erupt into civil war. Verity is now correspondent for a national newspaper and passionately committed to defending the Spanish republic against the Fascist threat. Her lover, David Griffiths-Jones, a senior figure in the Communist Party, has been convicted of murder and Verity appeals to Edward to help save him from the firing squad, even though she knows he sees him as his rival in love
Hollow Crown
It is October 1936. Lord Edward Corinth is invited by his friend Joe Weaver, the press lord and close friend of the British royal family, to recover certain letters stolen from the king's intimate friend Wallis Simpson. There is no mystery about who has taken these letters - a woman called Mrs Raymond Harkness, a former mistress of the king and a close friend of Edward's.
When Edward goes down to Haling, the country house of conservative MP Leo Scannon where Mrs Harkness is also a house guest, he is far from easy in his mind at the task before him, but he cannot guess that retrieving stolen goods is to be complicated by murder...
Dangerous Sea
Fourth in the Corinth/Browne Murder Mystery Series.
Lord Benyon is on the Queen Mary, bound for New York. It is 1937, and his mission is to persuade President Roosevelt to supply Britain with arms and money if it comes to war with Germany. Those who want him to fail will not stop at murder to achieve their aim. But, when Benyon refuses police protection, Special Branch asks Lord Edward Corinth to keep an unofficial eye on him.
However, it is not Benyon who is murdered but a racist senator from South Carolina, who has enraged many of his fellow passengers - not least Warren Fairley, the black singer. But if Fairley is too obvious a candidate, there are other suspects. How about union organiser Sam Forrest, with whom Verity Browne - going to America at the Party's behest to liaise with Communist sympathisers - is so taken? The thrilling denouement is yet another triumph for classic murder-mystery writer David Roberts.

Soft tissue injuries can occur when there is trauma to muscles, tendons, and ligaments. They may occur as a direct result of an incident or involve overuse. Personal injury cases usually involve acute injuries caused by sudden trauma. The severity of soft tissue injuries varies from person to person. If your soft tissue injuries were caused by someone else in a car wreck or other type of incident, the experienced Memphis serious injury lawyers of Nahon, Saharovich & Trotz may be able to help you recover compensation for your losses.
Soft tissue injuries are often the result of a sudden, unexpected movement. For example, if you are rear-ended while driving home on a congested highway, you may wind up with a soft tissue injury in your back. In most cases, in order to recover damages for a soft tissue injury, you will need to establish another person's negligence. This means you will need to show that another person owed you a duty of reasonable care and failed to meet that obligation, resulting in soft tissue injuries and other damages to you.
In some cases, you may need to prove additional elements to recover damages. For example, if you suffer soft tissue injuries due to a dangerous condition on someone else's property such as a broken step, you will probably also need to establish notice in order to recover on a premises liability theory. The notice may be actual or constructive. Often, constructive notice is established by showing that the dangerous condition that caused soft tissue injuries existed for so long a reasonable property owner should have inspected and known it was there. This may be shown by presenting video surveillance evidence or testimony of store employees.
One of the challenges of soft tissue injuries in a personal injury case is that they may not be able to be caught on a diagnostic test such as an X-ray or MRI. They can be extremely painful and adversely affect your lifestyle, but establishing that they exist can be challenging. Broken bones, on the other hand, can be proven by taking an X-ray. It is important to get medical care for your soft tissue injuries right away and follow your doctor's instructions. Medical records can serve as important proof of injuries.
If you can establish someone else's liability for soft tissue injuries, you may be able to recover the full spectrum of economic and noneconomic losses that flow from them. These may include medical bills, lost wages, lost earning capacity, household services, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.
If you experience soft tissue injuries in Tennessee, you should retain an experienced Memphis serious injury attorney to handle your claim. Our firm will take the time to explore the full impact of your injuries and help you recover all damages to which you are legally entitled. Our firm consists of more than 30 attorneys and over 100 staff members. We represent clients throughout the South in Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, and Mississippi, including in Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Little Rock, Jonesboro, Tupelo, Jackson, Meridian, Grenada, Starkville, Oxford, Hayti, and Caruthersville.
