Twelve considerations when searching for a personal injury attorney

Twelve considerations when searching for a personal injury attorney

Personal injury attorneys have a list of special considerations to make in every case they take on. Here are twelve things to consider when you are searching for a lawyer to help you with your claim.

Sex-crazed deer are trying to kill us all

Ah, the majestic deer. So proud, so noble. So prone to running directly in front of your car in pursuit of some hot tail while you’re doing 70 on the interstate.

Yes, it’s that magical time of year again: the deer rut. Could there be a more repulsive term than “rut”? Maybe “moist rut”? I just threw up. The point is, all of the other animals that I haven’t written about simply call it “mating season” (I mean, I assume?), but nasty-ass slutty deer call it “the rut.” Gross, deer.

Pay-Per-Mile Insurance Coverage is perfect for your upcoming road trip

There is a new kind of insurance coverage that is made just for low-mileage drivers. With per-mile insurance, you pay a low monthly base rate plus a few cents per mile when you drive. At the end of the month, your bill is your base rate plus how many miles you drove at your per-mile rate. This revolutionary new kind of insurance is becoming wildly popular with drivers who typically drive less than 10,000 miles a year.

Somebody give this baby a helmet (VIDEO)

I think jokes about dads being inept caregivers are kind of dumb in general, but I guess dads are statistically more likely to own remote-controlled cars, so the joke is probably apt in this case. I can theoretically see how this video of a baby being dragged around in his Bumbo seat by a toy pickup truck is funny, but as a fun-hating safety freak, I couldn't breathe while watching it. Somebody give this baby a helmet, please.  

Teacher warns young drivers about texting

Drunken driving deaths are down, way down: Like 28 percent down since 2005. But distracted driving deaths are up. Like 650 percent up over the same period.

Of course, some of that can be explained because virtually no one had a smartphone 10 years ago. But the numbers are still startling.

Video: Texas flash flood carries away Jeep with driver still inside

First things first: according to witnesses, the driver of the vehicle survived. Now, please gaze in horror at the speed at which the flood waters rise in this video captured this week in Texas (there's a bit of strong language from the terrified onlooker filming, so turn the volume down if you have delicate ears). I'm not sure what the circumstances surrounding this video were, but I think it's safe to assume that this wasn't intentional, and it's a good lesson in understanding where the "flash" in "flash flood" comes from.

6 things you should know about drunk driving cases

A collision with a drunk driver is usually very serious, and often fatal, because drunk drivers speed, run red lights and cross the center line resulting in high impact crashes. Those who survive must deal with injuries, long-term medical treatment, medical bills and lost wages. In wrongful death cases, spouses and children are grieving and still have to deal with the loss of income and funeral bills.

Drunk Driving Loophole Endangers Floridians

Drunk Driving Loophole Endangers Floridians

The danger in this new loophole is that it could allow drunk drivers who would otherwise be instantly identified as dangerously intoxicated to pass through DUI checkpoints freely and continue driving. Unleashed back onto the roads, drunk drivers can easily cause serious accidents with other cars, pedestrians, and cyclists. Read more on this important safety issue here.
Can DUIs be a thing of the past?

Can DUIs be a thing of the past?

We’ve all heard of cars getting smarter, where technology is integrated into the vehicle. Things like rear-view cameras will become mandatory(link is external) for new cars in 2018, for example, and already we’re used to anti-lock brakes. Now, the DADSS program (the Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety)(link is external) has introduced a new technology that has to potential to eliminate DUIs all over the country.
