E-cigarette use among teens in Nevada has exploded in the last couple of years and could lead to injuries and long-term health problems that reach epidemic proportions. The manufacturers of e-cigarettes might be responsible if people develop addictions and illnesses because of the products.

Offensive driving is an important concept to understand because driving offensively places drivers and the people who surround them on the road at a greater risk of accidents. Offensive driving occurs when drivers try to take control over the road, forcing drivers around them to adapt. Many road rage incidents are instigated by offensive drivers. When people drive offensively, they do not pay attention to the actions of others and may become aggressive. Drivers who engage in this type of driving behavior are much likelier to cause accidents that result in injuries or fatalities.

Emergency responders in Nevada often come into contact with blood when they are providing emergency care, making it crucial for them to use personal protective equipment to protect themselves against exposure to bloodborne pathogens while they are on the job. Employers should conduct regular training about bloodborne pathogens and the proper use of protective equipment, and they should provide the equipment to their employees. Coming into contact with bloodborne pathogens can lead to emergency responders contracting serious diseases. If workers contract diseases as a result of workplace exposures to bloodborne pathogens, they may be entitled to recover workers’ compensation benefits.
