According to WDTN.com , (aCouple hit by trooper: aWe forgive you,aa August 18), an Ohio couple sustained non-life threatening injuries after their Harley Davidson motorcycle was struck from behind by an Ohio State Highway Patrolman. aDue to the smaller size of motorcycles and the fact that riders have very little protection in crashes, motorcyclists are at a much higher risk of suffering injuries in any type of motor vehicle accident,a said Smith, who represents negligence victims and families who lose loved ones in accidents. aWhile the cause of this accident is still under investigation, itas likely that tragedy was averted by the motorcycle ridersa decisions to both wear helmets.a The WDTN news story reports that the couple was on a motorcycle on U.S. 35 in New Jasper Township when an Ohio State Highway Patrolman struck their bike from behind, throwing both riders from their motorcycle.

Steven Mezrano Is Redefining Personal Injury Law with New Firm
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 30, 2013 Noted California personal injury law firm Nadrich & Cohen, LLP was recently asked to contribute to eFastFacts, explaining the difference between compensatory and punitive damages as they pertain to personal injury cases. The completed article was published as part of a series on law and victims' rights. According to Nadrich, many people find the compensatory vs. punitive distinction to be confusing, and the firm was happy to help set the record straight. According to Nadrich, The issue of punitive damages can be very confusing to a lot of victims, but they can be instrumental in a personal injury case. Compensatory damages only cover the general costs accrued, like medical bills, or say, damage to a vehicle. But punitive damages come into play when the person responsible for the injury is demonstrated to have acted with willful negligence.

Columbus, OH Personal Injury Attorney Scott Elliot Smith Discusses Ohio Motorcycle Accident
Three bills were recently presented to the Wisconsin State Assembly Judiciary Committee that may pave the way for a tougher stance against drunk driving in the state. For the first time since 2009, penalties for drinking and driving in the state of Wisconsin could increase. Three bills were recently presented to the Wisconsin State Assembly Judiciary Committee by Rep. Jim Ott (R-23) and Sen. Alberta Darling (R-8) that may pave the way for a tougher stance against drinking and driving in the state, especially if injuries from accidents in Madison and throughout Wisconsin occur that involve drinking and driving. If passed, the first bill (AB 69) would raise the minimum prison sentence for a drunken driving crash that results in injury from 30 days to six months. The second bill (AB 70) would enact a minimum prison sentence of 10 years for a drunken driving homicide.

The ride was closed pending an investigation into the incident. Hundreds of amusement park injuries happen every year, from minor injuries, such as bruising or lacerations to fatal falls, commented Waxahachie personal injury lawyer John Hale. Most parks have stringent safety precautions in place, but incidents still occur from time to time. According to witnesses, when Rosy Esparza was seated in the ride next to her son, prior to deployment, she expressed concern to the ride attendant that the safety bar did not make the same number of clicking noises as those of the people around her. On the ride, during an extremely steep descent or sharp turn, witnesses say, Rosy Esparza flew out of her seat. The park spokeswoman for Six Flags Over Texas stated that the park was committed to determining what happened. Arlington Police are currently investigating if other issues were involved, such as if the woman experienced a medical emergency prior to the fall. Arlington police have declined to release a comment on the accident. The Texas Giant was designed as an all-wooden ride in 1990, and was known as the worlds tallest wooden roller coaster. It was closed in 2009 for renovation and reopened in 2011 as a wooden-and-steel hybrid, boasting three turns sharper than 90 degrees, a 79-degree drop; and an initial ascent of 153 feet followed by a descent of 147 feet.

"These distracted behaviors cause pedestrians to tune out and focus on the distraction at hand, rather than the surrounding traffic or hazards in crossing busy streets" according to noted Chicago personal injury attorney, Jonathan Rosenfeld. In particular, the NTHSA noted that consumption of alcohol poses one of the greatest risks to pedestrians walking in traffic areas. Recently released government data shows that 1,547 pedestrians of those killed in 2011 had a blood alcohol content of 0.08 or more that was above the legal limit for drivers. This accounts for over 35 percent of the total number of pedestrians killed in 2011 due to adistracted walkinga behaviors. (See reference 1 below) These statistics indicate that there may be a need for government intervention through the creation of new educational programs or enforcement measures. After releasing these statistics, the Department of Transportation has stated that it plans on creating an educational website for pedestrians entitled, aEveryone Is a Pedestrian.a Grant money will also be available to cities that are struggling with this issue. (See reference 3 below) There have also been other ways in which major cities have dealt with the issue of distracted walking. Some cities have placed visible decals along busy roads, while other cities like Salt Lake City have imposed fines.

This is a written document that alleges what happened to you, who is responsible, and under what legal theory you contend they are responsible for your injuries.A The person or entity that injured you (known as the defendant) next files an answer responding to the allegations you made.A The defendant may also file a motion to dismiss the case, instead of filing an answer. If the judge denies the motion to dismiss, the case will proceed to a process known as discovery.A Discovery usually takes about six months.A During this time, the parties obtain information from each other and from people and entities not involved in the lawsuit, such as medical providers. Your lawyer may try to settle the case after the discovery process is concluded. If your case doesnat settle, your attorney may recommend mediation at some point. A mediator is a neutral party who tries to get the parties to reach a settlement.A Many cases are successfully resolved through mediation.

Specifically, the lawsuit was filed in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada and it was assigned to Department Number XXVI.It was given a case number of A-11-6345236-C and it was filed after the defendant allegedly acted in a negligent manner while driving, causing the plaintiff to suffer serious injuries.As such, the plaintiff filed the lawsuit with the help of the attorneys at Bernstein & Poisson in order to recapture some the losses that she suffered because of the crash.The case was filed on behalf of an individual female plaintiff and against an individual male and his insurance company.

He formerly worked at a boutique insurance defence firm in Toronto, representing insurance companies. Bekiaris has appeared before the Financial Services Commission of Ontario, the Small Claims Court, the Superior Court of Justice, and the Divisional Court. Bekiaris represents clients in a variety of disputes, including motor vehicle accidents, accident benefits, slips and falls, property damage claims, and assault, representing the victims. Bekiaris is a member of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association and the Hellenic Canadian Lawyers Association. If a wheel comes off a vehicle in Ontario, both the driver and owner are liable for operating an unsafe vehicle under Section 84 of the Highway Traffic Act. When it comes to commercial vehicles, both the company and operator are liable, Bekiaris adds. In this case, its quite clear that there are significant negligence-related issues. On top of that, failing to stop or leaving the scene of an accident is a violation of the Criminal Code of Canada; where the guilty party could face a license suspension, jail time, or large fines. Bekiaris warns that motor vehicle accidents, including a sudden tire failure, can occur without warning and be very stressful; leading to permanent injuries, broken bones, inability to work, and a life of pain and suffering. One of the first things the victim of a negligent driver in the GTA should do is contact a personal injury lawyer to ensure they are properly cared for and receive the maximum financial compensation.

I won't be running any marathons or anything, but I can walk on it all I want. As for my elbow, further investigation suggested that I didn't fracture it at all. I just aggravated an old injury. It still hurts a bit, and I can't extend it 100 percent, but it's basically OK. No cast, no nothing. In fact, the orthopedist said it was rare to put a cast on an adult elbow. So everything is much better than I had feared. Typing is still a little uncomfortable, but being able to type at all with two hands is a huge improvement.

In this case, victim John Boner was killed during a timber clear cut operation when a large rock became dislodged by bulldozer operators, rolled down a mountain and struck him. His family was told by the employer and the insurance company that no payments would be forthcoming because the accident was an uncovered act of God. The family consulted Chris Heavens, a personal injury lawyer in Charleston , West Virginia. Mr. Heavens immediately began a complete investigation of the situation and discovered that the employer, Keenan Industries, was actually sub-contracted by another firm to perform the clear-cut operation. Furthermore, this West Virginia personal injury attorney discovered that the property where the accident occurred was under a mining permit and that it was illegal for a timber company to place non-certified miners on the site. Charleston attorney Chris Heavens was able to hire a mine safety and timbering expert to assist the family in developing theories of liability. Before the case came on for trial, all defendants agreed to a settlement of $4.5 million. Fortunately, Mr.

Tire failures or wheel separation can be extremely dangerous, with the vehicle losing control, the separated wheel hitting another vehicle or pedestrian, or other vehicles manoeuvring to avoid a collision, says Spyros Bekiaris, a lawyer at Hanson Duby Personal Injury Law. Even though wheel separation is uncommon, it can still be deadly. Since December 2011, at least two people have been killed in similar accidents on roads in Southern Ontario.

This compensation can include medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other costs associated with the accident.

In this unhappy scenario, you can potentially wind up with only a small fraction of your award or settlement after paying your attorney and the IRS. Of course, this outcome is completely unfair, but such is life when our beloved Congress makes the rules. Special Rule for Attorney Fees in Discrimination Cases There is one exception to the unfavorable general rule for attorney fees that I just explained. Fees incurred in certain unlawful discrimination cases can be deducted in full on page of your Form 1040 without any limitations. That way, youre not taxed on money that goes to your attorney, because you can deduct that amount. 
I went out frisbee golfing and I was doing great. I birdied #4 for the first time ever, and then threw a couple of perfect birdies on #5 and #6. What a great start! Then I took a step back to make room for my partner to throw, stepped on a rock, twisted my right ankle, and came crashing down on my left elbow. Seven X-rays later I learned that I had a bone chip in my ankle and a small fracture in my elbow. I can't use crutches to get around because my left arm is in a splint and a sling, and a wheelchair is no good because my house has steps and stairs all over the place. For now I'm hopping around on one foot with the aid of a cane and typing this blog post one-handed. I think it's safe to say that blogging will be a little lighter than usual for a while. On the bright side, at least it's August, when nothing interesting happens anyway. 
The insurance company offered him $3,500. Why would he even consider settling his case for such a low offer? As such, he has been forced to trial because the insurance company has not treated him fairly. Unfortunately, I am not permitted to tell the jury what the insurance company has offered in settlement because, if I did, most people would be outraged. Instead, I have a group of potential jurors who assume my client is seeking retirement money, and that is why he is in trial. Insurance companies have done a great job of making the public extremely skeptical of all personal-injury plaintiffs, when the truth is, all plaintiffs want is to be treated fairly. That is why you need a Board-certified civil-trial attorney to help fight the insurance companies.
