If you have a loved one who has suffered a spinal cord injury in a car accident, work accident or any other type of accident, it's important to know the best way to provide them care. Any mishap in providing care could worsen their injury, lead to another surgery or even put them back in the hospital for months on end. You need to follow the tips for care outlined in today's post if you want to ensure they are cared for properly.

The first thing you must do before providing care is to learn about the injury. Talk to the loved one's doctors and nurses. Ask questions. Do your research. The more you know about the injury, the easier it will be to provide adequate care for your loved one when they come home from the hospital.

According to Michigan's Department of Insurance and Financial Services, every driver must provide their own no-fault automobile insurance policy that includes Personal Injury Protection (PIP), Property Protection Insurance (PPI) and Residual Liability or Bodily Injury and Property Damage (BI/PD) coverage. An optional type of insurance that Michigan residents may also purchase is Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) Coverage.

Although all motorists in Michigan are required to have insurance, many don't take it out in hopes that they won't become involved in an accident or because they think that they won't get caught. In addition to having to pay a $500 fine or being ordered to serve as long as a year in jail for not having insurance, an individual who doesn't have such coverage may also end up being sued civilly for any injuries another motorist ends up suffering.

A Michigan family is grieving the loss of two of its own -- a 9-month-old girl and an 18-year-old woman. Both of them were passengers in a car involved in a recent three-vehicle crash in Montcalm County.

The crash occurred on M-46 and Amble Road near the town of Amble at approximately 1:15 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 6.

A study published by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) in 2016 captured how individuals who use public transit can decrease their risk of becoming involved in a car crash by 90 percent.

The APTA commissioned researchers at the Victoria Transport Policy Institute to look into how safe taking public transit really is compared to private modes of transportation like personal vehicles.
