From the ACL website:

All Americans – including people with disabilities and seniors – should be able to live at home with the supports they need, participating in communities that value their contributions. To help meet these needs, HHS is creating a new organization, the Administration for Community Living (ACL) with the goal of increasing access to community supports and full participation, while focusing attention and resources on the unique needs of older Americans and people with disabilities.

The ACL incorporates the already existing Administration on Aging, Administration on Developmental Disabilities, and Office on Disability. While the primary functions of this new office already existed, the belief of Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services, is that the new organizational structure will allow these offices to work more effectively together to ensure that each of them is able to serve its function as efficiently as possible, providing the best possible services to the broadest range of people in need, in a way that is beneficial to everyone, including our communities. The hope is that the ACL will help our elderly and disabled community members to be a more integral part of their communities, while also suffering less abuse.

Have you been seriously injured in a motorcycle crash that was caused by another driver’s carelessness? Speak with a dedicated Boulder motorcycle crash lawyer today to discuss your options.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports over 4000 motorcycle fatalities from traffic accidents every year. In the event of a crash, motorcyclists are less protected than people riding in cars or trucks. As a result, they are more susceptible to serious injury in those crashes. While it is important to note that Colorado does not have a universal motorcycle helmet law, meaning that riders age 18 and over legally are allowed to choose for themselves whether to wear a helmet or not, studies have shown in many cases that helmets can prevent or decrease the severity of many injuries. Nevertheless, because not wearing a helmet is a choice that Coloradans have the right to make, if you were injured in an accident in which you were not wearing a helmet, and in which the other driver was at fault, the lack of helmet should not affect your case.

If you have been seriously injured in a motorcycle crash in which another driver was at fault, speak with an experienced Boulder motorcycle crash lawyer immediately to protect your rights. Todd Tenge has helped numerous motorcyclists recover compensation for injuries sustained after accidents in which another driver was at fault. He can help you understand your rights, and work to ensure that someone else’s carelessness does not cause your family financial hardship.

Something that is interesting concerning this issue is brought up by Pat Furman, a law professor at the University of Colorado.

Has your elder loved one been abused by a caregiver?  Speak with a Boulder Elder Abuse Attorney as soon as possible to discuss your options.

Without uniform reporting procedures in place, and with many unreported cases of elder abuse, an accurate measurement of the prevalence is be impossible to gauge; nevertheless it is known to be a major problem in the country, as well as here in Colorado. According to estimates by the National Center on Elder Abuse, the frequency of elder abuse is between 2% and 10%, with only about 1 in 14 cases reported to authorities. Currently, professional caregivers in Colorado are strongly encouraged to report suspected abuse, but it seems likely that mandating that reporting would improve that 1 in 14 number, which, aside from helping more current victims of abuse, might help prevent future cases.
