Perhaps the most jarring news that one can receive aside from hearing that a loved one has unexpectedly died on Broomfield is that they have sustained a traumatic brain injury. Such injuries can leave victims in need of lifelong, around-the-clock care, which can exact both a heavy financial and emotional toll on their family members and friends. Yet not all TBI cases turn out like this. Information shared by the American Association of Neurological Surgeons shows that as many as 1.7 million new TBI cases are reported each year in the U.S. Certainly all of those do not result in worst-case scenarios.

Divorce can impact children's educations even if wealthy
Research tends to point to shortened academic careers for children in divorced families. According to a new study, wealth does not appear to provide a complete counterbalance. Instead, UCLA researchers suggest it may be that financially stable families suffer disproportional academic setbacks.
Are speed limits too high?
Speed limits have been increasing in some rural areas, where there are not really any places to stop and a low number of residences, businesses, or cross-streets that could mean problems. However, these higher speed limits are still causing more fatalities, according to a new study. The number of additional deaths due to a higher speed limit is estimated to be around 37,000 over the last 25 years. That might not seem like much, but the study also shows that fatality rates go up 8.5 percent for every five miles per hour the speed limit rises.

Officers sued for killing man following chase
People in Broomfield trust in law enforcement officers to uphold the law and keep them safe. Fulfilling that expectation requires entrusting officers with the ability to use force in the execution of their duties. The hope may be that such officials are able to exercise sound judgment in the application of that force. Yet police officers may be subject to the same stresses that people in the general population face, and likewise may experience the same fears when confronted with a potentially tense situation. Unfortunately, the resources they use in their work could cause their reactions to said situations to produce devastating results.
