Find it on my blog.

I am enrolling in a class that is an independent research study..we have an entire year to conduct our own research on a topic and create a product in the end.

I am interested in law (want to be a lawyer) as well as biology and science and how the body works, especially related to injury and exercise.

Does anyone have ANY ideas of interesting possible research topics in either of those areas?

Since they are totally unrelated, the topic does not need to include both.

PLEASE

Work in a badly organized (almost criminal) company. They’ve partially covered the medical bills… and are now keeping quiet. One of my legs sustained permanent joint damage and the man that is responsible for my injury is blaming the ice on the ground when he drove the machine (he was intoxicated).

I’m kind of stuck since I don’t know what to do. I don’t know many people. As soon as a lawyer gets into the picture (and they find out), the company goes out of their way to "destroy" an employee by giving them the worst possible jobs, unpaid "days off", etc.

What can I expect that’s a must when there’s a serious injury at work? Am I guaranteed anything? Should I wait until they give me a settlement or something that will compensate my injury and then contact a lawyer?

I haven’t signed anything and I’d like some friendly advice.
Thanks everyone for the response.

I’m searching for lawyers as I type this. You guys have me scared!

My lawyer sent a demand letter to state farm, so how long do they usually take to review the documents from the case and come back with either our demand or their counter offer?

I wanted to know if there was any danger of suffering permanent damage from getting an MRI. I looked up ‘MRI side effects’, and ‘MRI injuries’. I read from these two sites.

My first fear is that there could be a metallic fragment in the room, not necessarily an obvious one, but the kind that may come in under someone’s shoes, like a small spec of metal. Then when the machine is turned on, it may lodge in my head or body, maybe without me feeling it.

I’ve heard it can affect the brain and nervous system, resulting in permanent headaches and/or nerve damage? I’ve also heard the machine can cause permanent damage to your ears if you don’t wear earplugs? I’m concerned that I mightn’t be wearing them properly, or they mightn’t be good quality. I’ve also heard that it can cause a permanent tightness sensation in the testicles? Thanks anyone who knows and can answer honestly.
This is actually urgent. I got a message on the answering machine from the hospital this morning to confirm my appointment for after tomorrow for an MRI of the pelvis. Then I have another appointment later in June for the rest of the spine. I really need to decide today. The symptoms from the suspected injury that I may have had have actually died down, but I’m thinking if it won’t hurt to do the MRI, then I might as well do it. Thanks again
