COVID-19 Nursing Home Deaths
One of the more dreadful results of the COVID-19 pandemic is the number of people in Nursing Homes who have died due to the illness.

A decision to place our precious elderly loved ones in institutional care does not come without an attempt to find the best care available ...
Hit and Run Accidents
There’s nothing worse than being in an accident where the other driver takes off. Hit and run accidents happen a lot in Las Vegas for several reasons.
