After an injury car accident, take these steps to help the recovery process
When someone has been injured in a car crash, it's hard to know what to do to help. Injured people need appropriate medial treatment, but they also need to have their civil and legal rights protected.
After a serious crash, several steps need to be taken, including dealing with the insurance companies, tracking and documenting lost income from missed work, coordinating medical bill payments, and handling an insurance claim.

That has been a bad
That has been a bad intersection for a long time. As drivers find alternate ways to get about, the secondary roads are used and often
reenter a primary road later on. With Rt 176 being primary, nonstop, and often in excess of the posted 55 MPH, those crossing it or
choosing to make a turn onto or off of, Millstream/Dunham, often wait for a long time. Add to that a less-than-ideal view, people
looking for an opening into traffic, which can be significant at times, the chances for an accident increase. There have now been five
people killed there that I know of and several other non-fatal ones since moving here in 1980. A traffic signal or at least an enforced
speed reduction there, would be helpful. But I found it difficult to get authorities to respond to suggestions regarding dangerous
situations. At Deerpass and River Road, the striping allows southbond traffic on Deerpass to pass other vehicles. With three attempts
to three different authorities, the suggestion of a double line on Deerpass, through that intersection have been ignored. East and west
bound traffic on River Road however, have the double stripe. Maybe someone will read this post and find it important enough to act on
it.
I am so sorry that so many people will be grieving these most recent losses at a time when we all are anticipating Christmas holiday
cheer.
