Check Credentials

If you are looking for a reputable electrical contractor, always make sure that the contractor has proper licenses and insurance to conduct business in your home. Having the proper license to operate as an electrician is a prerequisite to being a practicing electrician. Also, any professional electrician should carry liability insurance in case there is damage done to your property.

Check References

One of the best ways to find a good electrician is by checking with other homeowners that have used the services of your prospective electrician. The number one question to ask is whether or not you would hire the contractor again. Also, ask the reference to rate the electrical contractor on a scale from one to five where five is the best score. After you speak with two to three references, you should have a general idea as to whether or not a contractor will be a good fit for you. Also, check references for at least three references, so that you have a better selection of electricians from which to choose.

Get a Quote

Always get a written quote for electrical work that needs to be conducted in your home. Also, it is advised that the electrician visit your home, so that a quote will be based on a visual assessment, as opposed to just guesswork.

Once you have located a qualified, professional electrician, the next step is to agree on terms and have the electrical work performed. Finding an electrician does not have to be a challenge, especially when you use the above tips to help you on your journey in finding the ideal electrician for your home.

Types Of Skull Fractures And Accident Injuries

Types of skull fractures and injuries

Severe injuries caused by the fault of another individual or group fall under the classification of negligence cases and include several types of fractures, the most traumatic of them being the skull fracture.personal injury accident

Skull fracture

Skull fractures appear when one or more of the 8 bones, which form the cranial portion of the skull get broken. This trauma usually occurs as a consequence of someone or something pressing heavily the skull of the victim. The excessive force that pressures the bones may cause damage to the physical structures that are underlying, as the blood vessels, the membranes and the brain itself, even if there are no visible injuries. This is why in most cases the actual consequences of a traumatic brain injury caused by a fracture appear months after an accident took place.

The forces that caused the trauma as well as the fracture pattern, extent, type, and position are important when assessing the injury sustained. Sometimes even a minor accident can cause a great damage to the skull of the victim. That is why even if you feel well and are not visibly injured or did not lose consciousness immediately after you have been hit by a person or object you must see a doctor and get diagnosed. Most of the skull and brain fractures are discovered at a later stage as their symptoms seem to appear a certain amount of time after the accident took place. This is why you should not hurry to give any written or taped statements about your medical state to the authorities or testify in court, describing your physical state after the injury, before some serious medical tests are done.

The major types of skull fractures that you may be suffering due to the negligent act of another may be:

linear fractures – the most common ones that rarely require an intervention
basilar fractures – they involve injuries in the bones at the base of the skull
diastatic fractures – they usually affect toddlers
depressed fractures – they may require a surgery if there is a damaged tissue

Whatever the type of skull injury you have sustained through no fault of yours the law entitles you to obtain a compensation from the negligent party. In order to do that you will need to hire a reliable law firm or lawyer. You can contact our office today for a free consultation.

Bed bugs feed only on the blood of humans and other warm-blooded hosts. Although they have a cryptic behavior and can conceal themselves in tight cracks and crevices, bed bugs are often found in bed parts, such as mattresses and box springs, hence the common name.

Pest Solutions Stored Food Pest

“Pantry pests” are insects that tend to gather around food often stored in pantries and cabinets such as flour, dry cereals, spices, candies and chocolate. Common pantry pests include Indian meal moths and Merchant Grain Beetles.

The Indian Meal Moth was given its name after an insect scientist found it feeding on corn meal, also known as Indian meal. From wing tip to wing tip, adult moths measure from five-eighths of an inch to three-fourths of an inch long. These moths like to feed on dried fruits, grains, seeds, nuts, chocolate, candies, bird seed, dog food, powdered milk, dried red peppers and candy.

Merchant Grain Beetles are typically not found in grain products, but instead like to attack cereals, cake mixes, macaroni, cookies and chocolate. Merchant grain beetles are dark brown and have six saw-like teeth on each side of their bodies. They can grow to be one-eighth of an inch long and have very flat bodies. The merchant grain beetle’s body shape allows it to crawl into packaging to eat, live and have babies.
