Despite advancements in auto technology to reduce crashes, the number of serious injury and wrongful death accidents involving cars remains steady, according to data released from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT)
CHICAGO, February 16, 2023 (Newswire.com)
-
The Windy City is one of the busiest cities in the country, which means more cars on the road at any given time. According to the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), more than 80,000 car crashes are reported annually. This high number of accidents has led to a call for action by the Chicago car accident lawyers at Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers, LLC.
The lawyers at the prominent Chicago car accident law firm are calling on the city to implement increased safety measures, better traffic management, and stricter enforcement of traffic laws to help reduce the number of crashes in Chicago, which are causing severe injury and death to thousands of drivers, passengers, and pedestrians every year.
"We are seeing a disturbing trend in the number of car crashes in Chicago," said Jonathan Rosenfeld, personal injury attorney and Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers, LLC founder. "It is unacceptable that so many people are being hurt or killed on our roads each year. We must take action to prevent these accidents from happening in the first place."
Crash Statistics
According to the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), in 2020, there were over 307,000 motor vehicle crashes in Illinois, resulting in approximately 1,000 fatalities and over 29,000 serious injuries. In the city of Chicago alone, there were over 80,000 reported crashes.
Data from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) showed that in the same year, over 4,000 large trucks were involved in crashes in Illinois, resulting in over 70 fatalities and over 2,000 injuries. In Chicago, over 1,100 crashes involving large trucks were reported.
These alarming statistics demonstrate the pressing need for action to reduce the number of car accidents in Chicago and throughout Illinois. The high number of crashes is causing severe harm to drivers, passengers, and pedestrians and is putting a strain on the healthcare and legal systems.
The data from IDOT and FMCSA show just how serious the problem of car accidents is in Illinois. Everyone must take action to address this issue and reduce the number of crashes on our roads.
Severe Injuries and Death
The law firm has handled car accident cases resulting in severe and life-altering injuries, including broken bones, head and neck injuries, spinal cord injuries, and even death. The cost of these accidents to the victims, their families, and society is staggering.
"The human toll of these accidents is heartbreaking," Rosenfeld continued. "We must do everything in our power to reduce the number of crashes and help keep people safe on our roads."
Chicago car accident lawyers are calling for various measures to reduce the number of crashes, including increased funding for road safety, improved traffic management systems, and stricter enforcement of traffic laws.
"We must work together as a community to make our roads safer for everyone," Rosenfeld said. "This problem affects us all, and it is time for action to be taken."

Patient Supply Recovery Strategy Utilizing the RDS-32a, Rapid Decontamination System, combined with Supply Recovery Software, facilities can now instantly disinfect \"unopened\", \"unsoiled\" packaged supplies for safe handling.
LAS VEGAS, February 13, 2023 (Newswire.com)
-
The dramatic rise in the costs of patient supplies and equipment continues to put enormous pressure on the financial health of providers to adequately care for patients and communities. "The pandemic has clearly demonstrated that America cannot be strong without its hospitals being strong." (ICT, Pollack 2022) TMG Health Technologies recently received feedback from an Infection Control Manager at an Alabama children's hospital advising that a 952% ROI was achieved through implementation of the "PSRP" Patient Supply Recovery Program using TMG's products.
Many cost-containment strategies are being discussed, but one strategy in particular offers documented results. Recently, the Critical Care Nurse Manager of the ICU and Infection Control Manager* realized that the practice of discarding unopened patient supplies left in the room after patient transfer or discharge had a direct impact on inventory shortages, department budgets, supply and disposal costs.
"Having a two-year history utilizing the RDS 32a Rapid UVC Decontamination disinfecting health electronics, devices and non-critical patient tools, we already knew it was an effective and reliable solution for the disinfection of equipment. Upon review of the independent testing certifying High-Level Disinfection on soft surface, packaged tools and supplies and a Johns Hopkins study of a documented $387,000 patient supply savings in their ICU, we knew we could use the RDS for our own cost-savings strategy. Our NICU patient supply recovery program saved us $100,000 in supply costs in the first seven months," said the Infection Control Manager.
The Infection Control Manager explained further: "We knew that the disposal of unused, unopened packaged supplies had direct costs in terms of purchase value, but learned there are indirect costs associated with their disposal and the hospital's environmental burden. The ability to efficiently disinfect multiple items simultaneously in a single 30-second cycle within the department, retain the budget savings, and restock the item to inventory couldn't be easier. We were able to achieve a 952% ROI on the RDS-32a system we already owned, and the program was easy to implement. With these savings confirmed, our executive team plans to expand this program to other patient areas. Imagine what a 5% savings in supply cost would mean to anyone's facility."
Now more than ever, healthcare needs innovative strategies to achieve cost containment and expense reduction. Manual disinfection of typical supply items is not feasible due to high volume, complex shapes and structure, labor time, the reliance on the operator to ensure adequate coverage and "wet-time" of the disinfectant ("Human Error" Factor). The RDS-32a Rapid UVC Decontamination System will disinfect these unused, unopened patient supplies in 30 seconds for immediate dollar-for-dollar savings. Additional savings are realized on disposal costs and cleaning supplies. For more information on this Patient Supply Recovery Program, contact TMG Health Technologies at TMGHealthTech.com or 888-443-1528.

Rom-coms, Hallmark movies and even Valentine's cards may need a rewrite: Most single people say they don't need a mate for their life story to have a happy ending. That's according to "Singles in America Survey," the latest research from The Harris Poll, Thought Leadership Practice, released today.
Among other findings: Whether to expect a man to pick up the check on Valentine's Day; what Americans have in common with penguins, dogs and cats; what singles prefer: cleaning toilets or going on online dates.
The poll was conducted in late January 2023 using a nationally representative sample of 2,004 U.S. adults. Its central finding is that most single people actually like being single - they're happy to be pursuing their own passions, they feel more in control of their finances, and they're tired of society and media saying otherwise.
"Our perceptions of single Americans need to be reexamined," says Libby Rodney, futurist and chief strategy officer at The Harris Poll. "We need to shift the dialogue from something society needs to fix, like in your standard rom-com, to something many people are finding fulfilling and are doing by choice."
Census data shows that roughly half of Americans are single. The Harris Poll research found that 56% of single respondents don't want to change that status, saying that the statement "I am not looking for a relationship" best describes them. That result is strong across generations, selected by 35% of Gen Z and 30% of Boomer respondents.
Why do they feel that way? The Harris Poll survey suggests that singles are happier and more fulfilled. Nearly half of American singles (48%) agreed that "Singlehood is the most meaningful, authentic and fulfilling way of life." And when asked for details, they provided many reasons why:
Having more time to pursue my interests and passions (cited by 86% of singles)
Focusing more on my personal growth (84%)
Having more time and energy to devote to friendships (82%)
Not worrying about a partner's debt or financial obligations (81%)
Having more time to grow and develop my career (79%)
Single life fosters financial independence - but costs more
Indeed, financial and career issues played a large role in singles' preferences. American singles strongly agreed that flying solo helps them financially - but that government policies also hurt them.
Seven out of 10 (71%) singles agreed "being single taught me how to work with my money really well," and nearly as many (68%) say that they "feel financially empowered and more in control by being single." Six out of 10 (59%) say they don't plan to ever merge their finances with a partner.
However, people recognize that the single life can be more expensive - and they're not happy about it. Strong majorities of singles "dislike paying more taxes than married couples" (74%) and "paying more for healthcare and social benefits than married couples" (68%).
And all Americans, single and in relationships, see that as a problem: Three-quarters (76%) recognize that it "can be more affordable to be in a relationship" because of cost-sharing and tax policies, and just as many (79%) say the government should "offer more tax breaks for single people."
That may be a sign of a growing realization by all Americans, both single and those in relationships, that the single life can be a rewarding one - and that single life gets a raw deal from the media.
Eight in 10 Americans (79%) say "You don't need to get married to have a happy and fulfilling life."
Two-thirds (68%) say they believe "the stigma of being single is gradually diminishing."
Two-thirds (68%) also say "I'm tired of media and advertising showing a false idealistic image that being in a relationship is the only way to live a happy life."
Not only are most singles uninterested in finding a partner, they're being more cost-conscious about dating, saying they've made or would be open to making changes due to rising inflation:
69%: choosing an activity, like going for a hike, over going out for dinner or drinks
55%: hosting a first date at home
50%: cutting back or eliminating gift-giving
50%: filtering their potential dates to "only financially secure candidates"
While 44% say they've tried or would be willing to go on a virtual date in order to reduce expenses, many singles would do almost anything other than an online date:
44% of Gen Z "would rather clean the toilet than go another online date"
30% of Gen Z "would rather walk across hot coals than go on another online date"
22% of Millennials "would rather have their tooth pulled than go on another online date."
For Gen Z and Millennial singles wondering if they need to buy a gift for a Valentine's Day date, the poll results offer guidance on how to tell if you're in a relationship. For example, both groups say attending a party together is just dating, while attending a family holiday event is being in a relationship.
But the groups differ on the significance of "middle ground" activities: For Gen Z, meeting friends, parents, or posting a couple's picture on social media is just dating - but to Millennials, all of those are relationship territory.
Preferred relationship style varies by generation
Finally, the poll examines just what types of relationships singles may seek and found generational differences there as well. About half of all people see themselves as penguins - one mate for life. Roughly equal shares saw themselves as birds (19% want a partner but are free to explore) and dogs (16% want to experience as many partners as possible), while 11% saw themselves as cats, indifferent to partners, who may come and go.
Some differences, as expected, appear age-related - two-thirds (66%) of Boomers choose "penguin" (one mate for life), compared to 40% of Gen Z. Others, though, are more surprising: One in five Gen Zs went with "cat" (indifferent, allow partners to come and go), almost twice as many as the other four groups (9% to 11%). And one in four Millennials (24%) prefers a dog's life, wanting to experience as many partners as possible, far more often than the other groups (9% to 18%).
One possible reason: it's just hard to find the right person. Nearly eight in 10 of all respondents said that "finding the right partner is harder than finding the right job."
Rodney says single people are showing us the need to rethink how society sees and values personal relationships.
"It's worth noting that being single isn't void of anything," she said. "There is a spectrum of deep and meaningful relationships single people are involved in, and it's important to recognize the richness of their relationship choices."

The Dry Eye Drink by Bruder First and only ophthalmic, doctor-formulated, anti-inflammatory hyper-hydrating drink for symptoms of dry eye
ATLANTA, February 13, 2023 (Newswire.com)
-
Bruder Healthcare, a Hilco Vision Company, announced an exclusive licensing agreement with Baton Rouge-based Dry Eye Drink LLC, the manufacturer of a portfolio of dry eye products and drink mixes, formulated to provide relief for an estimated 50 million* U.S. adults suffering from symptoms of dry eye disease.
"Partnering with the first and only ophthalmic, doctor-formulated, anti-inflammatory hyper-hydrating drink brings real value to the Bruder dry eye portfolio and provides an additional treatment option for eye care professionals when working with patients," said Brent Jones, Global Head of Dry Eye for Hilco Vision and General Manager at Bruder Healthcare. The Dry Eye Drink expands the Bruder Healthcare portfolio for dry eye sufferers which currently includes the #1 Doctor-Recommended Moist Heat Eye Compresses, Hygienic Eyelid Sheets, Hygienic Eyelid Cleansing Wipes and Hygienic Eyelid Solution Spray.
The drink formulations pair known anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative and anti-bacterial ingredients with an electrolyte hydration formula to help with ocular inflammation, tear health and meibum oil gland production. Available in daytime and nighttime formulas consisting of several flavors (mixed berries, orange, and strawberry-lemonade), the product mixes contain green tea extract, turmeric, DHA/Omega 3, Vitamin A, B3, B6, B12 and C. Dry Eye Drink's natural ingredients help to reduce inflammation and boost effective hydration up to three times what water alone can do. "Bruder is an iconic brand among optometrists and ophthalmologists alike. Their innovative spirit aligns well with our entrepreneurial mindset," said founder and former Dry Eye Drink LLC CEO Dr. Joshua Davidson OD, FAAO, FSLS. Dr. Davidson is an Optometrist specializing in dry eye disease at the Williamson Eye Center, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
About Dry Eye and the importance of Hydration
Dry eye symptoms affect millions of consumers. Its prevalence is likely to continue due to any number of causes, from computer and smartphone screen viewing and contact lens wear, to eye irritants of pollen and other environmental toxins in the air, to the side effects of prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications.
Hydration is crucial to regulate body temperature, keep joints lubricated, prevent infections, deliver nutrients to cells, and keep organs functioning properly. Being well-hydrated improves sleep quality, cognition, and mood. Studies suggest that systemic hydration status broadly affects a variety of ocular pathophysiologic processes and disease states. For example, dehydration may be associated with the development of dry eye syndrome, cataracts, refractive changes, and retinal vascular disease. **
Dry eye sufferers can participate daily in the health and comfort of their eyes between visits to their eye care provider through daily lid hygiene in the same way they maintain their oral health between dental appointments through daily brushing and flossing.
About Bruder Healthcare
Bruder Healthcare designs and markets therapeutic and ophthalmic medical products to professionals and consumers around the world, including the #1 doctor-recommended moist heat eye compress. Their broad line of proprietary products provides relief for the millions of people who suffer from pain, dry eye, and other ocular surface conditions.

iQuanti: Payday loans offer an easy way to get cash fast from the comfort of your home. Borrowers can use these loans to cover a variety of expenses, from groceries to paying rent.
There are plenty of online and in-person lenders that specialize in payday loans. If you need funds to cover expenses before your next payday, here's how payday loans work and where to get one in 2023.
How do payday loans work?
A payday loan is essentially taking a cash advance against your next paycheck. The lender agrees to give the borrower a percentage of the paycheck they have coming on their next payday. In return, the borrower will pay that loan back in full, along with an interest payment and possibly a loan origination fee. These fees can vary from lender to lender.
Payday loans could be approved quickly. Funds are often available to the borrower within 24 hours, and some payday lenders even offer same-day funding. The speed of the approval process and the cost of the loan are two important points to compare loan offers with, so it's wise to shop around and compare different lenders before applying for a payday loan.
Applying for a payday loan in person
There are many physical retail locations for payday lenders throughout the United States. Prospective borrowers should be able to find one within a reasonable driving distance from their home. If you'd prefer to apply in person, you can go to a lender's store location and fill out a payday loan application there. Here's what you should bring with you:
A driver's license, State ID, or passport
Recent paystubs and W2 forms
Your bank account routing and account number
Payday lenders want to know who they're doing business with, if the borrower is gainfully employed, and where they bank so funds can be deposited upon approval and withdrawn when the loan repayment is due. Bring physical forms of the documents to prove all this to the lender. You'll also want to have a valid ID available.
One of the benefits of applying for a payday loan in person is that you can receive the funds in person. This means you can walk out of the store with cash in hand to cover expenses right away.
Applying for a payday loan online
If you prefer to apply for a payday loan online, you'll typically have to provide the same information. You'll need to prove who you are, so be prepared to upload a digital copy of your license or state ID. The lender may also need paystubs and tax forms. If you don't have these in digital form, you can take a picture of them using your phone's camera. Bank account numbers can be entered manually.
Applying online may only take a few minutes and can be done from your computer or mobile device. Once you submit your application, the lender will decide whether to approve you. Upon approval, you may receive the funds you need in your bank account the same day you apply.
The bottom line
Payday loans are a great option when you need quick cash. You can get one by applying in person at a payday lender's store location or by applying with an online payday lender. Whichever option you choose, you'll need to provide proof of identity, income, and a bank account they can deposit to and withdraw from. Shop around and compare lenders and loan options so that you can find a great deal and start covering expenses right away.

The new season of Wine Oh! TV will release on February 14, 2023. The brand new season will be founder and host Monique Soltani's first since losing her husband to Colon Cancer, the first as a single mom, and her first post-pandemic production.

Thinque Media announced today the new season of Wine Oh! TV will release on February 14, 2023. The brand new season will be founder and host Monique Soltani's first since losing her husband to Colon Cancer, the first as a single mom, and her first post-pandemic production.
"When Mark got sick, my show felt so small and when we lost Mark, we lost everything. Then Covid came and we lost community. I was drowning but I had our four year-old twins to save from sinking," remembers Soltani.
I rise again reborn with a new sense of purpose yet my intention remains the same. Life is meant to be shared. We come together around the table, life's most meaningful moments made with a meal. Human connection isn't just essential, it is everything, and as always, my through-line to connecting with the world is wine."
Wine Oh! TV invites audiences to join Soltani on her journey from trauma to triumph as she travels to wine regions around the world with the purpose of bringing people together by connecting through community and culture.
The new season of Wine Oh! TV debuts on Valentine's Day 2023 and made available to watch directly on wineoh.tv. The first episode features Umbria, Italy, the home of Saint Valentine, where he used a wine from the region to marry star-crossed lovers. Each additional new episode is set to be released throughout the winter and spring months and made available for audiences around the world to watch on wineoh.tv while distribution deals are in the works.
"As I think about Wine Oh! TV this season, the word joy always comes to mind," said Soltani. "After experiencing tremendous loss in my own life and learning to navigate a new normal with two small children, my focus now is to bring joy to the world. Wine Oh! TV is a family-friendly show you can turn on while you are making dinner and your children are running around the house or helping you in the kitchen. Wine is the through-line but at its heart it's about people, places, how we come together, and what connects us."
Every episode also answers three essential questions most asked by Wine Oh! TV's audience over the last decade: What is there to drink, what is there to do, and what is there to eat in each wine region. This season Wine Oh! TV shines the spotlight on smaller wine regions with Umbria, Walla Walla, Mendocino, Paso Robles, and Lodi taking center stage.
