Understanding blind spots on commercial trucks
Ohio motorists may notice that their vehicles have blind spots - areas where they can't see objects behind or along the side of their vehicle. Commercial trucks have blind spots as well, but they are much larger. These are called No-Zones, and it's important for all drivers to know where they are located so they can avoid them when possible and prevent serious accidents and injuries.
Who pays for workers' compensation? Not employers, report finds
When employees in Ohio get injured on the job they probably expect to receive workers' compensation benefits to pay for lost wages, medical expenses and other damages. But, according to recent trends, employers aren't paying for as much as they did in the past and are overwhelmingly shifting the costs to the injured employees and taxpayers. In fact, employers on average pay only 20 percent of the cost, with others paying the rest. There are certain reasons for this trend and how this affects workers' compensation benefits.

This is a huge expense for many people, whether they are a young adult with a part-time job, a middle-aged single mom or a retired person on a limited income. So, they go without the insurance and then one day cause an accident. What happens next?
