For our first review of Louisville’s best restaurants and eateries, we’re talking about a charming hidden nook of a restaurant called Verbena Café. One of our law office’s staff members had the chance to review Verbena Café during lunch hour recently. Here’s her review:

Today I went to Verbena Café for lunch, located close to my home in Norton Commons. Verbena is a breakfast and lunch café few have heard of. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem with an extensive menu featuring both breakfast and lunch options.

The light-yellow walls in the dining area of the restaurant provide a bright atmosphere, well complemented with wooden booths. Overall, the charming restaurant exudes an atmosphere of sunniness and coziness wrapped up in one.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 11, 2017 — Thomas Law Offices is representing the Bouma family of Michigan in a wrongful death claim against Travis Harmon of Ohio, a commercial truck driver who slammed into David Bouma’s vehicle on March 15, 2016 on the Combs-Hehl bridge in Ohio. The force of the collision sent Bouma’s Pontiac Grand Prix hurtling into the Ohio River below. The car remained submerged for almost two weeks before crews could pull it out of the water and identify David Bouma’s body.

The accident happened on Interstate 275 East on the Combs-Hehl Bridge. Travis Harmon was driving a tractor-trailer operating as a tow truck. Harmon was traveling in the highway’s center lane attempting to avoid two different collisions. While braking, he hit a car which disabled his semi’s steering capability. The police investigative report stated that he no longer had “any control of his vehicle.” Seconds later, the tractor-trailer rear-ended David Bouma’s vehicle and sent it flying over the bridge.

Placing a loved one in a nursing home facility is an emotional and overwhelming decision.  The idea of entrusting the care of someone you love to complete strangers is uncomfortable and unsettling.  Choosing the facility that is the right fit for your family involves a fair amount of preparation and research.  But finding a facility that meets your loved one’s care needs will make the transition more comfortable for everyone.  Here are a few questions to ask when evaluating a potential nursing home for your loved one:

When a patient undergoes lung or heart transplant surgery, it’s crucial that the operation occurs in a 100% sterile environment. Even a single trace of bacteria may cause a patient to develop a life-threatening infection. Transplant surgery patients are at an immunocompromised (weakened) state during surgery and they’re in an exposed condition for a long period of time. Surgeons and surgical assistants take every precaution necessary.

Everything from the equipment used to the members of the surgical team must remain sterile throughout an entire transplant surgery. This includes any devices that are responsible for providing oxygen to the patient, circulating water through equipment, or regulating a patient’s body temperature. Most devices are tested thoroughly by the manufacturers and are guaranteed to be sterile.

Distracted driving leads to thousands of fatal car accidents on United States roadways every year.  Many items and activities can create distracted drivers, but without question, the most common source of distraction in vehicles is driver use of cell phones.

About a decade ago, it became a nationwide priority to reduce hands-on cell phone use while driving a car.  It was at this time that car companies began manufacturing vehicles with sophisticated Bluetooth voice recognition software designed to allow a driver to use their cell phone while still keeping their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel.
