Law Wire News Car seat safety often ignored in car pools, study finds. NC safe?

February 28th, 2012

Think all North Carolina drivers take every precaution to keep children safe? Think again. A recent national study discovered that parents often don’t use booster seats when carpooling with preschoolers or young school-age children, increasing the risk of serious injury in a crash.

“I think it’s a complex issue of convenience, expectations, and peer pressure,” Michelle Macy, MD, a pediatrician at the University of Michigan, told WebMD in a recent article.

Oscar Party: Attorney Gloria Allred and Ginger White to attend together

Woman Who Alleged That She Had a Thirteen-Year Affair with Presidential Hopeful Herman Cain to Walk the Red Carpet with Gloria Allred

Attorney Gloria Allred will walk the red carpet with her guest, Ginger White, at the Night of 100 Stars Oscar Party on Sunday, February 26, 2012 in the Crystal Ballroom at the Beverly Hills Hotel at 9641 Sunset Blvd., Beverly Hills, CA, at 4:00 P.M. PST.

Ms. Allred previously represented Sharon Bialek who was the first woman to reveal her face and name and publicly allege that Herman Cain had made inappropriate sexual advances to her when she sought his assistance in obtaining employment. Ms. Bialek was verbally attacked by some of Cain’s supporters after she came forward. Ms. White then decided to go public with her allegation of a thirteen year affair with Mr. Cain, because she felt that it was unfair that the credibility of Ms. Bialek and other women were being questioned and she felt that it was important that the public know the truth.

Ms. Allred invited Ms. White to be her guest at the Oscar Party in order to honor her for her courage and her willingness to support other women.

Most if not all were media related employees. In psychology terms isnt this woman just a little egomaniacal ? How much media and attention does one person need before its just too overboard.

Everyone does this – she just has a more impressive list of contacts than most.

It’s recommended that if you’re any sort of organization or person of note (even if it’s modest note) to boost your pr through a free press release. … More

Will I need a Lawyer if I have been rear ended, an examination of car accident in NC

February 26th, 2012

To get some answer on what to do in case of being rear-ended we looked on the websites of some law firms , whom was kind enough to post some general advice.

They said , Clients often ask if they need a lawyer if they are in an accident of have been rear ended. See: car accident lawyer Charlotte, NC

The recent case of Bronson v. Hansel is a clear example of why you need a lawyer .

Trudi Bronson was involved in an auto accident. She had a property damage claim against the driver and she had a neck injury. She accepted $2000.00 after negotiations about the value of the damage to her vehicle.

Although she maintained that the insurance adjuster told her the Release she was given to sign was for the property damage only, the Release contained additional language concerning injuries.

Trudi had an MRI of her neck shortly thereafter and she was found to have a serious neck injury – a herniated disc in her neck. Her injury claim was dismissed by the Judge and the dismissal was affirmed on appeal, even though two of the Judges on the panel believed she had signed the Release under the mistaken belief that she was only Releasing her property damage claim.

We all sign documents without reading the small print (I recall house closings in particular). You have to call an attorney immediately after an accident to protect your rights.

In this case the insurance company could have allowed her to bring her claim. Instead the insurance company chose to take advantage of a very questionable Release obtained from her before she had a lawyer. After an auto accident call a lawyer. The initial consultation is usually without charge and levels the playing field with an insurance company.

News Texting while driving dangerous. Federal ban on the way, Michigan?

February 14th, 2012

A federal agency responsible for investigating auto accidents recently recommended banning the use of cell phones while driving, including hands-free cell phone devices. The National Transportation Safety Board made this dramatic recommendation published on the front page of the New York Times based on safety concerns. “It’s about not being engaged at the task at hand,” NTSB chairman Deborah Herman said, referring to talking on a cell phone while driving, even while using a hands-free device. “Lives are being lost in the blink of an eye.”

Distracted driving injures and kills thousands of people every year nationwide and in Michigan. Such accidents happen fast, as Deborah Herman noted. She added, “You can’t take it back, you can’t have a do over, and you can’t rewind.” Rebuild your family’s future with a rock-solid Detroit accident attorney in your corner. Rely on the Law Offices of Goodman Acker. Serving clients throughout Michigan, an experienced Detroit distracted driving attorney at our firm can devote their time and attention to fighting for your rights. We understand the state’s complex cell phone laws. We use that knowledge to get accident victims the compensation they rightfully deserve. Put the power of a Michigan car accident lawyer behind you. Contact the Law Offices of Goodman Acker.

In Michigan, it’s illegal to text while driving. Nationwide, 35 states ban texting while driving. In addition, nine states prohibit the use of hand-held phones. No states completely restrict drivers from using cell phones while driving. That should change, Herman said. She compared using a cell phone while driving to drunk driving. “It’s going to be very unpopular with some people,” Herman said, referring to the idea of completely banning drivers from using cell phones. “We’re not here to win a popularity contest. We’re here to do the right thing.”

A total of 5,474 people died in 2009 in America in distracted driving accidents and thousands more were injured. If you or a loved one sustained a serious or fatal injury due to a distracted driver in Michigan, take action now. Contact a law firm who will fight for your rights.

February 1st, 2012

A tragic multi-car accident in Florida resulting in the deaths of 10 people and injuries to nearly two dozen people has been attributed in part to poor visibility. But questions linger after the fatal incident: A few hours before the deadly highway crash in Gainesville, authorities closed – and then reopened – the highway due to a three-vehicle crash.

In a chilling 911 call, someone involved in the multi-vehicle accident described extremely poor visibility. The caller told a 911 operator she could not see much more than a couple of feet in front of her.
