On October 14, 2017, a tragedy occurred after a fatal fall on a cruise ship .   A family lost their eight-year old daughter, who fell to her death from one dock to another on a docked Carnival Cruise ship.   This heartbreaking story, reported by Yahoo!

Does Your Attorney Have the Resources Necessary for Your Case? This goes far beyond the attorney having an office and support staff (although some attorneys do practice without them).   For a cruis
