By the  Dennis and King Law Firm  In Chattanooga, TN In some personal injury cases, a jury may award the injured person punitive damages. The judge will instruct the jury to award punitive damages if the jury finds the defendant’s behavior exceptionally malicious or reckless. Unlike compensatory damages, punitive damages are intended to punish the negligent person and to deter future wrongdoing. Unlike the other type of damages, economic and non-economic, punitive damages are not meant to compensate the injured person for his or her losses even though the injured person receives the damages from the defendant if the jury awards them. Tennessee and Georgia allow an injured person to sue for punitive damages when the proof indicates the defendant’s behavior is grossly negligent, intentional or reckless. The injured person must have a good reason and a good evidentiary basis to prove such punitive damages. If there is little to no evidence in support of the injured perso...

A remote starter comprises a convenient feature of many modern-day vehicles. Whether purchased as an aftermarket accessory or installed as a factory option, a remote starter allows a driver to start a vehicle’s engine with remote control, usually in the form of an electronic key fob. Besides the obvious advantage of stepping into a warm (or cool) vehicle, there are several benefits to having a remote starter.  The biggest benefit of a remote starter is the comfort of having a vehicle that is warm or cool prior to entry. By leaving the heater or air conditioning in the “on” position, a driver can then activate the remote starter. After waiting several minutes, the climate control then warms or cools the vehicle as needed. Because the vehicle is operating without the keys in the ignition or the driver present, most remote starters also include controls allowing for the remote securing of a vehicle, ensuring the safety of the vehicle and any individuals who will eventually occu...

Is There Really a Significant Difference? By Custom Suits USA in Knoxville. TN An individual can look relatively acceptable in an off-the-rack suit. However, if one wishes to look exceptional, with the very best in fit, fabric, and style, then wearing a custom suit is what is truly required. In essence, a custom suit will always put one ahead of the game in comparison to off-the-rack options. Consider these six reasons to buy a custom suit: 1. Custom Suits Always Provide the Best Fit. When an individual pulls a suit off the rack, they are inevitably compromising on fit. While a pair of trousers might encompass the perfect length, they are, likewise, probably too short in the arms. Furthermore, while the trousers might fit one’s waist, they are likely not ideal in the thighs. Off-the-rack suits are made to fit a lot of people generally, rather than a unique person, individually. In contrast, a custom suit is a game-changer, tailor-made to fit every part of the body wi...

A commercial kitchen is a wonderful place. It is where cooks prepare meals for families, friends, and neighbors.  In order to prepare the amount of food a commercial kitchen serves in a day, industrial-grade equipment is needed. The layout of a commercial restaurant kitchen must be designed to allow the seamless flow of food from the prep to the line area. Sometimes a new restaurant has a great location but a small kitchen.  This factor dictates the kind of kitchen equipment needed. For example, a six-burner gas range might look very appealing.  However, many smaller kitchens will only accommodate a four-burner range. It is crucial to think strategically about a restaurant’s kitchen area before signing a lease. The kitchen is the heart of a restaurant.  More specifically, it is the place where the restaurant’s menu comes to life. It is also the restaurant’s center of the action. It is where food is prepared, cooked and plated.  It is also home to the d...

By the  Dennis and King Law Firm  In Chattanooga, TN Gross negligence refers to behavior that demonstrates a conscious disregard or indifference for the safety, life or rights of others. It differs from ordinary negligence, which is defined as “a violation of a general duty to behave with reasonable care.” Instead, gross negligence has the added feature of recklessness. An example of gross negligence is a father who repeatedly allows his ten-year-old son to operate a tractor without supervision. The young boy runs over a man and, as a result, the man’s leg is amputated. The jury subsequently awards the victim compensatory and punitive damages. This is because the child’s father encouraged his young son to operate a tractor without adult supervision. The jury finds that such behavior constitutes gross negligence.

Social Security is a social insurance program funded primarily by payroll taxes. Collected in accordance with the Federal Insurance Contributions Act, this program constitutes the federal government’s largest expenditure.  Three Common Social Security Myths Social Security is a controversial topic.
