One of the most difficult decisions family members ever have to make is the decision to place an elderly or infirm loved one in a nursing home or assisted living care facility. Unfortunately, it is a fact of life that many older Americans will eventually require assistance in managing even the most basic needs of daily life and it is also a fact of life that many vulnerable older Americans will face neglect and abuse at the hands of their caregivers.
Understaffed and overcrowded nursing home and assisted living centers have given rise to incidents of emotional, physical and sexual abuse of the most vulnerable members of our families. A study has revealed that over one million elderly residents of nursing homes and assisted living centers suffer the consequences of abuse and neglect every year.
If you suspect a loved one has been the victim of nursing home abuse and neglect our attorneys at the Druanne White Law Firm want to hear from you today.

A motorcycle accident can result in catastrophic injuries for the motorcycle rider and passenger because of the lack of physical protection that is available in other motor vehicles such as airbags, seatbelts and the fact you are surrounded by a vehicle frame that does offer some protection in a crash. Of course, wearing protective personal gear such as helmets, boots and leather jackets does offer some protection against trauma and does save lives in some cases.
The failure of other motor vehicle drivers to notice a motorcycle in traffic is a major contributing factor to accidents involving motorcycles and intersections are the most frequent location of these accidents. Other contributing factors involved in motorcycle accidents are speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, defective equipment and road and weather hazards. The failure to yield the right of way, improper lane changing, and weaving in and out of car lanes are other dangerous driving habits that cause motorcycle accidents.
Please contact the Druanne White Law Firm today if you have suffered injuries in a motorcycle accident in the Anderson, Greenville or Spartanburg areas of South Carolina.

Your life can be altered in an instant if you are ever involved in an accident with a truck. A collision between an 80,000 pound truck and a passenger vehicle nearly always results in catastrophic injuries or death for the occupants of the smaller vehicle.
A truck driver under the influence of drugs or alcohol, fatigued from long hours on the road or a poorly trained truck driver are an accident waiting to happen. In addition, overweight trucks or shifting cargos, high speeds and poorly maintained or faulty equipment contribute to the high rate of truck accidents on the nation’s highways. On any given day there are over three million trucks on the road, sharing our highways and in some cases endangering our lives and the lives of those we care about.
Our truck accident attorneys at the Druanne White Law Firm have experience in dealing with truck accident cases for our clients.
If you were involved in an accident with a truck and you live in the Anderson, Greenville or Spartanburg areas of South Carolina, please contact the team of legal professionals at the Druanne White Law Firm.

Injuries suffered in an automobile accident are definitely life-changing and often life-threatening and may include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, whiplash, broken bones, severe burns and paralysis.
Automobile accident injuries that are not obvious to the average person, such as a whiplash injury, can have the same devastating effect as a highly visible broken bone or trauma like a severe burn. Whiplash injuries occur when the occupants of a vehicle are jerked forward and backward from the impact of a collision, causing headaches, pain, soreness, tenderness, swelling and muscle spasms that can last for an extended period of time if not treated in a timely manner.
A traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury can cause paralysis and life-long disabilities that are physically, emotionally and financially costly. The automobile accident attorneys at the Druanne White Law Firm are dedicated to working hard for our client.
If you or someone you love was injured in an automobile accident and you live in the Anderson, Greenville or Spartanburg area of South Carolina, please contact the Druanne White Law Firm today to protect your legal rights.
