Common Los Angeles Hernia Mesh Injuries?

If you have ever heard of a condition called a hernia or had one yourself, you understand that it is a painful condition that does deserve urgent medical attention. Hernias are ultra-common diseases, whereby there is a protrusion of the intestines, abdominal fatty substances, or the urinary bladder that come out of a weakness or opening in muscles lining the abdomen wall.

When you go to the doctor for an annual physical or when you do suspect that you have a hernia, that is when it will be diagnosed. It is usually found by your primary care provider by feeling the skin, to reveal either an anatomical defect or a definite connective tissue disorder. Hernias don’t often happen as the usual result of one event, but rather become a multifactor process where an anatomical weakness, defects and a possible increase in abdominal pressure make the perfect conditions to harbor a hernia defect.

Do You Have a Honda Civic With Lane Departure Assist Problems?

July 8, 2022 | by Robert Walch

Some Honda Civic owners have reported problems related to their lane departure assist system also known as the Honda Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS). For example, according to the website Carproblemzoo.com, the owner of one 2022 Honda Civic reported the lane centering/keeping feature began pulling the vehicle sharply to the right side of the lane causing the lane departure warning system to shake the steering wheel, this occurring on or about June 13, 2022, with just over 600 miles on the Honda Civic vehicle.

Another driver said in a complaint on March 16, 2022, that their 2022 Honda Civic pulled out of the lane instead of steering the vehicle in the lane. The driver stated s/he provided Honda with video and picture evidence and that the automaker couldn’t do anything to fix the problem. This individual said s/he are no longer comfortable using those features and that s/he don’t feel safe driving the vehicle while those assist features are engaged.

Obviously, these vehicle owners should not be using those apparently unsafe purported safety features, although they relied upon them and were charged for them by Honda.

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) just released data that up to December 25, 2021, 289 persons were killed in traffic collisions from January 1, 2021 to December 25, 2021. That is an increase of 21% more deaths than the year before (2020) and an increase of 19% more than the year before that (2019).
