STAYATTENTIVE

You should always stay focused and alert when behind the wheel. Being aware of the drivers around you gives you the chance to react to their driving. If someone were to brake suddenly in front of you, you can stop your vehicle before an accident ensues. Keep your eyes ahead of you and you’ll reduce the risk of being involved in a motor vehicle accident. PUT YOUR PHONE AWAY One of the main causes of distracted driving is our phones. If the temptation to check your phone is too great, keep it turned off and out of reach. A missed call or text message is not worth your safety or other drivers’ safety. If you do need to answer a call or text message, find a safe place to pull over and park first. DON’T MULTITASK Multitasking is difficult in the best of times and never a good idea while driving. Your driving needs your full attention — when your mind wanders, so does your attention. To prevent this, make sure the radio station is where you want it, your kids are comfortable, or your GPS is set before you pull out onto the road. Unfortunately, even after taking these precautions, you still may find yourself in an accident. When that happens, our team at Dickerson Oxton Law Firm can help. If you or someone you know has been injured in an accident, give our offices a call today.

Nursing home staff members should also know the symptoms of COVID-19 and take immediate and appropriate action. NURSING HOMES AND IMMUNITY Near the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, nursing homes across the U.S. sought immunity from civil liability for deaths on their premises related to COVID-19. Nursing home representatives have said facilities are doing their best in an unprecedented time and should not have to pay for virus-related fatalities. Advocates for nursing home residents’ rights and safety, however, say that granting blanket immunity would endanger residents’ lives and allow negligent nursing homes to fly under the radar. As of today, neither Kansas nor Missouri has passed a blanket immunity law for nursing homes related to COVID-19. If family members can bring wrongful-death claims against nursing homes for preventable deaths from COVID-19, they will have to prove the nursing home was at fault for the fatality. That is why you should speak to an experienced attorney right away by calling our offices to schedule a consultation with our team.

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 425 F and grease an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. 2. In the prepared dish, stir together cooked chicken, artichokes, asparagus, carrots, uncooked pasta, chicken broth, half the chives, half the parsley, garlic, salt, and 2 tbsp Parmesan. 3. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 35 minutes. 4. Uncover and stir. At this point, check the pasta to make sure it is al dente. If it’s undercooked, cover the dish and return to the oven until pasta is tender. 5. Remove from oven and garnish with remaining Parmesan, chives, and parsley.
