The temperature's still cold but the sun is shining, and the brutal snow storm that plowed into us for the past few days is finally past! So how's everybody been doing in their recovery?

It looks like the northeast has one heck of a storm rolling in tomorrow. We're all scrambling to prepare, stocking up on water, food, salt and whatever else pops into our heads. For that reason, Simia's making this week all about bad weather. Hopefully, the stories and tips that we share throughout the week will keep you and your loved ones safe.

A man is dead after what looks like an accident involving a garden stool that found its way into the shower and tore his leg apart. To explain exactly what happened, we need to take a few steps back. Larry and Lori Stick were a happy couple from Philly with two kids and a comfortable life.

We're closing out the week strong with a cautionary tale about why you shouldn't ask employees to carry buckets of acid around with them. (That seems like a no-brainer, but apparently you really need to explain this to some people).

The theme of the week is dangerous jobs, the brave people who work them, and the terrible accidents that occur when safety guidelines aren't met. Today's story is about a man who fell from a roof because of several huge mistakes his co-workers made.

Today's story is about a group of employees who all got carbon monoxide poison because someone wasn't paying attention. The workers that got injured were part of a construction crew that was renovating an old office building.

The theme of the week is dangerous jobs, the brave people who work them, and the terrible accidents that occur when safety guidelines aren't met. Today we're telling the story of Rob, and it's not a pretty one.

When a young worker loses his finger in a printing press, who's to blame? That's the question that's haunted a 20-year old man ever since his surprising accident.

A house was burned down, a dog was killed, two power lines were toppled and an entire neighborhood lost power, all because someone decided to risk driving after having too much to drink. That's the sad story that residents of Metairie, Louisiana, woke up to yesterday morning, as a drunk driver rear-ended a pickup truck and set off a bizarre chain of events.

We've been covering a lot of stories of people who got injured and needed some money. When you read about how bad some of the accidents are, you may wonder if the money they get from their settlement will really be enough to cover everything. Often people are dealing with a bad combination of medical bills and being out of work for months or years, which makes it extremely costly.
