Its not news to everyone that texting and driving continues to be a problem, both in Massachusetts where a state-wide law that prohibits the act and elsewhere. In a day and age where technology and constant information seem to rule our lives, it is often easy to get distracted by these new gadgets. Every driver has seen someone behind the wheel seemingly more concerned with their phone conversation then with where their car was headed.
Smart phones are an especially hot new commodity that enables a person to text, surf the internet, play a game, and check their email, all from the comfort of the couch, waiting room or driver’s seat. According to the National Transportation Board, when someone is texting while behind the wheel they are actively “taking away information from important visual cues on the road.”
The state of Massachusetts has a texting and driving ban for every driver, and has imposed further restrictions on drivers under the age of 18. These junior operators may not operate a telephone while behind the wheel of a vehicle. Essex County DA Jonathan Blodgett, is urging students to refrain from texting and driving. He has already visited several area high schools to inform students about the dangers of texting and driving, as well as the sanctions that are imposed if you are caught in the act.

All Market Basket locations in Massachusetts as well as New Hampshire have issued a Voluntary Food Recall on 5 ounce cans of Market Basket White Albacore Tuna Fish in Water. The reason for the recall is due to the mislabeling of soy that may be contained in the tuna. Soy is not listed as a possible allergen in the tuna and therefore, Market Basket feels that the product should be pulled from shelves. The soy in the product comes from the vegetable broth that is used in the product. Consumers should either discard cans or return cans with a “best if purchased by” date of August 18, 2014 and August 19, 2014 for an exchange or full refund at any Market Basket location. So far there have been no reports of people affected by this recall.

In Massachusetts to proceed with a wrongful death claim, a wrongful death action it has to be shown that the death resulted from or was caused by the negligence of another party. Whether it was due to a car accident, the typical negligence standards would apply whether or not that person passed on. You still have to prove liability; you have to prove who is at fault. If it is a medical malpractice claim you have to show that the doctor was acting outside of the standard of care. There still a legal requirement that has to be made under a wrongful death claim. The presentation of it is different and the beneficiaries are different.
