It's election season. You can tell by all the candidates' signs, many of which appear along roadsides, especially at intersections. Georgia Code 32-6-51 states that “it shall be unlawful for any person to erect, place or maintain within the right of way of any public road any sign, signal or other device except as authorized by subsection (d) of this Code section.” Most counties and cities have ordinances that prohibit placing signs on right of ways. If you want to support someone, put their sign in your yard. If candidates can't get folks to put put signs in their yards, maybe they shouldn't be running.

Even the Carfax fox knows, if your car is damaged in a wreck, it's worth less after repairs. Insurers almost always offer significantly less for diminished value than you should get. That's why we help our injury clients with their property damage claims and don't charge a fee for helping resolve the property damage. Don't get taken advantage of on your property damage OR injury claim. Call us and get the help and recovery you are entitled to.

If you have a CPAP or BIPAP or respirator, take a look at this link and check your serial number to see if you have a machine that is affected. There are some serious potential health issues. I use a CPAP and have not heard a word about this recall from Phillips or Aerocare, where I got my CPAP. I only learned about the recall from an attorney listserve I'm on.

Patients would no longer receive surprise medical bills for emergency treatment and certain other health care services from out-of-network providers starting in January under a rule issued Thursday by the Biden administration.

Do not believe what you hear about our courts being flooded with personal injury suits. Those of us in the court system know it's not true, but boy do some interests try and make you believe it is. I was at an all day court hearing yesterday in Carroll County. 401 cases were on the calendar. How many were injury suits? 400? 350? 300? 250? 200? 100? Nope, 60. That's just 15%. Most of the other 85% were suits by businesses.

There are LOTS of ads for Medicare Advantage plans this time of year. Before abandoning original Medicare in favor of one, do your research. There are some pretty big differences. This article from AARP will help you get started.
