Each day tens of thousands of people are searching for professionals such as contractors, lawyers, and designers to accomplish their personal and business needs. Currently the matchmaking process between consumers and experts is a frustrating one for both sides. Consumers find it extremely time consuming to research and hire local providers that fit their project requirements, timing, budget, and location. Local professionals find it daunting to market themselves in a new digital age, stand out from their competition, and win new business from the right customers. Expertise helps small business owners expand their market and protect their reputation.

Our mission at MaritimeHelp is to provide the public with accurate and up to date information on the many aspects of maritime rights and maritime law. Our team at maritimehelp.com strives to provide a comprehensive free resource for the public to learn more about the rights that all workers in the maritime industry are entitled to as well as the legal options they can take to protect their well-being. There are so many areas of work and circumstances that can occur that make knowing everything in this field a difficult task. That is where we come in to help provide a one stop resource on any topic that can affect a maritime worker!

While working in the maritime industry can be exciting and lucrative, it can also be highly dangerous. Accidents that lead to injuries, and sometimes even fatalities, are not uncommon in people who do this work. Whether you work in a port as a longshoreman, aboard a ship as a seaman, on an offshore platform, or in some other maritime role, the work is often physically demanding, requires long hours, and comes with the risk of being involved in an accident. Fortunately for those who work in the maritime industry, there are federal laws to ensure that payment helps injured workers to get back on their feet. These laws also help the dependent survivors of loved ones lost on the job to cover expenses. Too often the maritime accidents and injuries that are seen every day throughout the country are preventable. If you fall victim to one of these accidents, let the law help you get the compensation you deserve.

The Nursing Home Abuse Center was founded in 2014 to shed light on a dark and horrifying happening in our culture — the abuse of our seniors. Many seniors move to elder care and nursing home facilities expecting to be treated with dignity and respect, only to find mistreatment in a variety of forms. Our team, made up of healthcare professionals and advocacy communicators, was disgusted by this growing trend. Our purpose is to create the top online resource for exposing senior abuse.

Over 3.2 million adults living in nursing homes and other long term care facilities in the U.S. As many as 40 percent of all adults will enter a nursing home at some point during their lives and as the U.S. population ages, the number of nursing home residents is expected to grow. Many of these elders are well-cared for but many may be the victims of abuse. Elder abuse, particularly when it involves a patient in a residential care facility, can be difficult to detect and for every reported case of abuse, more than five cases may go unreported. If you would like additional information, please visit this site.


Picture
​Our goal at nursinghomeabusesupport.com is to educate the American public with factual and scientific information pertaining to elder abuse and neglect within the United States. Each year tens of thousands of seniors are abused and neglected and out mission is to help spread awareness on this very sensitive issue.

Veterans have played important roles in the history of this country. Even with their patriotic and courageous service, there seems to be an information gap about the support and resources that are available to them when they’re attempting to purchase their own home. Even active duty military personnel may not be able to find a home for their family if they think they don’t have enough money to afford one. Both veterans and active service members are searching for options on what possible financing resources they can use to purchase their home and that’s something that needs to be fixed. The Realty Medics specialize as Orlando property managers, but no matter that the need is, we’re always happy to help our veterans in any way that we can.

For centuries, the brave men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces have made countless sacrifices for their country. While these individuals are typically tagged as heroes, not all of them are left feeling valiant when they return home. Instead, some are left with pain and scars, both physical and mental. To cope with their struggles, many veterans turn to drugs (including illicit substances) or alcohol, which can lead to abuse and addiction. Drug rehab facilities and organizations for veterans throughout the country are well aware of this burden, which is why they offer a variety of resources and treatment programs to address the problem. Are you a veteran struggling with substance abuse or addiction? Do you suspect you also have a mental illness like depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or anxiety? If the answer is “yes,” you’re not alone, and help is within reach. The Recovery Village Palmer Lake is just one of the many great options that can help you turn your life around for the better. Located in beautiful Palmer Lake, Colorado, our center offers comprehensive, individualized care. You can also consider the many VA options that are available.
