As time goes on, we realize more and more that soda really isn't great for us. Even a healthy person drinking soda is just pouring empty calories into their body, and if you're not in great shape you can have problems with your blood sugar, blood pressure, and more. Despite all this, we're pretty sure that Lisa Kochmansky never expected soda to sprain her knee!

Some people like to bike down mountains, while others enjoy speeding off a ramp and seeing how high they can get. You'd expect those areas are where you're most likely to get hurt (and I'm sure if someone like me was biking down a mountain, that'd be true!) Go figure that it was during a relaxing bike ride in the city that one elderly man suffered an injury so bad it ruined his life.
What happens when you fall down and suffer an injury that knocks you out of work? It's bad enough when an accident saddles you with expensive medical bills that you weren't prepared for. The additional problem of being entirely unable to work for weeks or even months as you recover makes it extremely difficult to deal with alone. Luckily for David Grah, he didn't have to.
We're wrapping up our coverage of Pre-Settlement Funding in action with a story that may surprise you, and a type of injury we haven't covered yet. Kwame Kennedy was working at his job at a warehouse in Michigan when 88 gallons of milk came crashing down on top of him!
Working out's tough. It's hard to find the time, it takes a lot out of you, and most nights we'd all rather just flop on the couch and watch some good TV. So you'd hope at the very least that once you're in the middle of a workout, you'd be left alone! Unfortunately for one woman who was exercising in the Asphalt Green complex in NYC, a fluke construction accident changed her plans.
Yesterday, we talked about the complications that can arise from a surgery done poorly. However, even when the surgery goes perfectly, there can still be issues. That's the situation that a lot of people find themselves in after getting hip implants from a company they thought they could trust!
Walter Paul Hoover suffered a back injury in 2009, and went to the veterans hospital in Missouri for a corrective surgery. What was supposed to be a simple procedure that alleviated his aching back turned into a far more complex problem that took years to get under control.
It's a crazy world out there, and sometimes despite your best efforts, bad things happen. Yesterday we covered the story of a woman who was hit by a truck while she was minding her own business. We're going to make a point of covering a wide range of cases like that in the coming weeks, but for the time being, it might make sense to go over some of the most common injuries and accidents that we cover.
Shannon Brown was a young mother, minding her own business and driving around with her young son Elijah, when a truck ran through a red light and smashed into her car. Her son was miraculously unharmed, but Shannon was seriously injured in the accident.
