Motorcycles Loved by Many, Survived by Few

Robert Lee — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:33:39 -0500

While motorcycles capture the heart of the rebel on the open road,
they are dangerous and in the event of a crash, many bikers don’t
survive.

Just taking a good hard look at a motorcycle is enough to point out
that they have no protection for the rider. No seatbelts, airbags,
bumpers like on cars or even crumple zones. Bikers are right out there
in the wind, totally exposed to not only the elements, but also to
other vehicles that may collide with them. In addition, road conditions
play a huge part in many motorcycle accidents.

The Trip and Fall Conundrum

Ever been in a situation where you slipped, then tripped and then
fell hard, sustaining an injury? You may be eligible to file a personal
injury lawsuit.

Everyone does fall now and then, sometimes through no fault of their
own, but due to a wet patch on a floor, ice on a sidewalk or something
lying where it should not be in the first place. Those kinds of falls,
as opposed to the ones where we trip over our own feet, may be able to
go to court to recover for injuries sustained during that fall.

Big Rig Crashes Prove Deadly

Robert Lee — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:33:04 -0500

It’s a simple fact of life that when a big rig collides with another
passenger vehicle, the passenger vehicle and the occupants do not fare
well.

Most big rig accidents result in either serious injuries or death.
There is no other outcome when something that large runs into another
vehicle or a stationary object. “Even if the trucker is involved in a
single vehicle rollover or jackknife scenario, the outcome is
questionable for the driver,” said Robert W. Lee of the Lee Law Firm in
Austin, Texas.

Defective Products Can Kill

When you buy something at a store, you expect that it will work, work properly and not cause you or others any harm.

It’s not too much of a stretch to expect things that you buy at a
store to work. After all, you’re paying for a working product that is
supposed to do its job and not cause anyone serious injuries. However,
if the product happens to be defective and does cause harm or death to
the user, you may be entitled to damages for the injuries.

The Intersection Conundrum

Jack Zinda — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 15:50:02 -0400

It appears that close to 45% of all car crashes tend to take place in or close to an intersection.

While you may think that if two cars collide, one of them is
obviously at fault because they did not obey the rules of the road,
many times there are other reasons involved. In other words, things are
not always what they may look like on the surface. A good car crash
attorney knows this and will spend time digging for the information
they need to make a case for their client.

Car Crash Stats Are Dismal

Jack Zinda — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 15:49:35 -0400

It's a fact. Car crash statistics are particularly dismal, with an
estimated over 6 million collisions a year in America. Close to 3
million people sustain personal injuries as a result of these accidents.

Searching for car crash statistics on the Internet is depressing
when you realize just how many Americans are hurt or killed annually.
It's almost enough to make a person stop driving, but realistically
this isn't going to happen any time soon. The estimated number of
fatalities as a result of the 6 million crashes ranks somewhere near
40,000.

Trucking Accident Destruction

Whenever there is a collision with a big rig, the results are
usually devastating to all those involved. Those who live to tell the
tale may have to deal with permanent disabilities for the rest of their
lives.

It's the Prescription Drugs that Cause Truck Accidents

The more big rigs there are on the highways, the greater the chances for a sharp rise in 18-wheeler accidents.
