Michigan is a gorgeous place to live & work, especially in summer!

But some of that natural beauty can be naturally distracting to other drivers ...

And it's impossible to tell which ones!

According to the MSP's 2021 crash report (their latest published report), distracted driving causes more accidents than DUIs do ...

To avoid being part of the problem (and keep yourself and other drivers safe), remember:

• The Michigan hands-free driving law went into effect on June 30. That means NO hands-on contact with your phone except in a true emergency.

• NO calls or texts with your phone in your hands.

• Only refer to your digital instrumentation when completely stopped. It's too easy to get distracted by glares & shadows, small type, dust & other distractions that take your eyes off the road!

• Wear sunglasses & use your visor in sunny weather, especially at dawn dusk. The sun's lower angle make these driving times riskier than others.

• Don't play your radio louder than a level that lets you hear what's going on around you. You need eyes AND ears on the road!

• When driving with children, plan simple activities that can keep them busy and quiet in the back seat, even on short trips.

If all drivers practice safe driving disciplines, fewer accidents causing injuries will result.

And, if an undisciplined driver hits you or a loved one, remember you can contact me for free to find out your legal rights to compensation for your injuries. Call (269) 375-6224 or visit https://westmichiganinjuryattorney.steegglistalaw.com/injured-in-a-car-accident/ for more information!

Let's get everyone home safely! Be mindful about the hazards of distracted driving & disciplined in your own driving habits and STAY SAFE OUT THERE!

The State of Michigan has been working for years on its "Toward Zero Deaths" initiative to prevent traffic deaths, including in work zones.

As a personal injury attorney for over 30 years, I've seen first hand the horrific injuries and yes, even deaths, caused by work zone accidents.

So I feel compelled to join MDOT in educating drivers about work zone safety.

While the statistics are startling (nearly 4400 work zone crashes in '22, causing 862 injuries and 13 deaths), the good news is, educated drivers can make a huge difference.

Here's how:

1. Distracted drivers are the leading cause of work zone crashes. The fix? PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROAD. Don't send a quick text because you're stuck in traffic.

2. SPEED is another major crash contributor. The fix? SLOW DOWN. Reduced speeds are in effect FOR A REASON.

3. Most work zone crashes happen during daylight hours. The fix? See points 1 & 2 above!

4. More work zone crashes happen from May - Dec (obviously, more crews are out then!). The fix? Plan extra time or pack extra patience; chances are, you'll run into construction delays in Michigan during these months!

5. Perhaps the biggest reason to take construction zones seriously? The people MOST likely to be injured or killed in a construction zone accident aren't construction workers:

They're regular drivers like you & me and their passengers.

A pretty sobering thought.

Please - come home safe. Give work zones, their workers, speed rules and common sense the respect they deserve.

If you or a loved one were injured in a work zone accident, give me a call and let's talk about it! (269) 375-6224

EVERY EXCHANGE IS A PERSONAL ONE.

I chose to practice personal injury law for one reason and one reason only:

I care about PEOPLE.

I ESPECIALLY care about helping people who were injured - often in life-changing ways! - through no fault of their own.

That's not something AI can give you.

Which is why I don't have email lists, newsletters, automated injury calculators, or any of the other digital bells & whistles so common in today's legal profession.

Because caring about people is something that NO amount of artificial intelligence can fake.

Understanding the physical, mental, emotional and financial burdens an injured person or their loved ones FEEL can't be automated.

Compassionately explaining what an injury may be WORTH and what compensation is actually AVAILABLE can't be handled by artificial intelligence.

It CAN, however, be explained by HUMAN intelligence ... especially when backed by over 30 years experience successfully helping injured people get maximum compensation for their injuries.

So if you're injured (and I sincerely hope you never are!), you have choices: you can interact with a website, or pick up the phone and interact with me: a real live lawyer who'll give you real answers ... and, if we decide to work together, who'll generate REAL RESULTS on your behalf.

Kind of a no-brainer, isn't it?

Stay safe out there! And remember ME if the worst should happen.

"No one cares how much you know til they know how much you care."

You can call me on that! :^D

IT'S BOATING SEASON! FOLLOW THESE TIPS TO STAY SAFE!

I have to tell you, I live on an inland lake in west Michigan ... so I've seen some really crazy things, lucky breaks, and horrific watercraft accidents in my time!

Whatever kind of watercraft you enjoy – from speed boats to pontoons, jet skis to kayaks – it takes just one split second to turn a great day into a tragic one.

Often there's little you can do about the other guy's conduct ...

But you CAN increase your odds of a great, safe day on the water by following these tips:

1. WEAR YOUR LIFE PRESERVERS! They can't help you if you're hurt and they're stored beneath the seats!

2. LEAVE PARTYING ON THE BEACH! Don't operate any type of watercraft if you've been imbibing. It dulls the senses, slow reaction times, and can put the responsibility for an accident on YOU.

3. OBSERVE LOW WAKE AND SPEED ZONES: these rules exist to PROTECT you. Violating them is a foolish risk.

4. CHECK THE WEATHER FIRST: it's unpredictable. Bring the proper clothing and gear for the day's forecast, or plan to come back before the weather shift is expected.

5. STOW YOUR PHONE: it may be helpful if your craft drifts or is damaged, but texting and calling from it are unnecessary & risky distractions.

6. KEEP AN EYE OUT: it's not hard to tell who's getting out of control on the water. AVOID individuals & groups that are too loud & disruptive.

Having a watercraft is great fun in Michigan! It's also a great responsibility.

Taking care of YOU helps get EVERYONE home safely!

ENJOY yourself and please – STAY SAFE out there!

That way, you'll never need to call me to get you or your loved one maximum compensation for watercraft accident injuries ...

And that's best for everyone!

INJURED WHILE ON A ROAD CONSTRUCTION JOB?

You know the drill ...

While injuries from being hit by a reckless driver on a road construction job are (thankfully!) fairly rare, your job's still fraught with danger.

From heat stroke to getting burned, from repetitive stress injuries to accidental falls, there's nothing easy about what you do!

So if you're injured on the job and your employer isn't making things easy for YOU, that's the time to call ME!

I've won more workers comp claims than other west Michigan attorney, and personally secured over $200 million in compensation for my injured clients!

I know exactly how to get around insurance and employer stall tactics, excuses, and pitfalls to get YOU the maximum compensation you deserve!

If you're injured while working on Michigan roads this summer, remember: tough people do NOT finish first!

When it comes to injuries and their associated claims, tough people get them reported and checked out medically right away!

That helps you prevent physical problems further down the road ... potentially protecting your income for decades to come.

So don't take a road construction injury lightly!

If you were hurt on the job, call me and I'll give you free, actionable advice about your next steps.

Advice for road construction workers is ALWAYS free - because even if your employer DOESN'T have your back, I DO!

Contact me for your free legal consultation at the FIRST SIGN of injury to protect your rights and maximize your claim!

INJURED RIDERS ALWAYS GET FREE CONSULTS!

You know you're a confident rider. You know your bike, yourself, and the road ...

What you may NOT know is that 90% of all motorcycle wrecks are caused by the OTHER driver!

The driver in the heavier and larger vehicle ...

The one who failed to see you or hear you coming ...

The one who failed to yield to your right of way and seemingly plowed STRAIGHT INTO YOU.

Two different size & weight vehicles both traveling at speed? We know who's going to come out ahead in THAT collision!

So if it happens to you (and I sincerely hope it doesn't!), get yourself a lawyer who's as street smart as YOU are!

Don't lose the next round negotiating with the insurance companies (yours, theirs, and sometimes third party's!) to get the compensation you deserve!

I've been standing up for injured riders for over 30 years & have single-handedly won over $200 million for my west Michigan clients.

I know what it takes to win your claim AND how to win in court!

So if you're injured out riding, don't settle for less than the strongest courtroom attorney in west Michigan to get you every penny you have coming.

You don't deserve to get hit out enjoying your ride. You DO deserve to work with an experienced motorcycle injury attorney who won't stall out on your claim.

Legal consultations for riders are ALWAYS free, and you'll get practical advice you can take action right away!

I hope you never need to call me. And I'm here for you if you DO.

For more info, visit https://westmichiganinjuryattorney.steegglistalaw.com/free-consults/ or just pick up the phone and call me.

Consults for riders are ALWAYS free: (269) 375-6224

Sure, if you ride, you know the risks!

And with the skills you've developed, you have a ton of confidence in your ride AND in your abilities!

Here's the thing, though ...

90% of all motorcycle accidents are caused by the OTHER driver failing to yield the right of way.

Which means no matter how confident you are in yourself, you can't afford to have confidence in the OTHER guy!

Here's the other thing: YOU know the wreck wasn't your fault!

But KNOWING it and PROVING it to the involved insurance companies are TWO VERY DIFFERENT THINGS!

Insurance companies are out to KEEP their money, NOT pay it out in claims!

So they're never going to tell you how many claims you COULD have ... they're only going to respond to what you (and the witnesses they talk to) TELL them.

So you might win on one or two, but you have NO IDEA how many claims passed you by!

I DO!

And riders who work with me get on average 3 to 4 times the compensation they get if they try to tackle their injury claims on their own!

Don't get taken for a ride by a less experienced motorcycle wreck attorney!

If you're injured in a wreck, put my 30+ years' of experience (and the law) on YOUR side!

Remember: you can be the greatest rider in the world, but that doesn't matter to a driver who doesn't see you.

I'm looking out for you from Michigan roads to Michigan courts!

I hope you never need me ...

If you do, I'm here for you!

STAY SAFE OUT THERE!

Keep yourself safe while cycling on our Michigan roads by following these tips!

Remember, any accident you get in is all about proving who is at fault, so it's important to cover all your personal cycling safety bases!

Follow these tips for safety AND for minimizing the chance of negligence claims against YOU if you're struck by a motor vehicle:

1) Wear a safety-rated helmet. 8,300 cyclists are hospitalized with head injuries every year!

2) Wear something colorful. It makes it easier for motorists to spot (and avoid hitting) you.

3) Use flashing lighting devices to make you more visible to drivers approaching from behind.

4) Don't use headphones. Cycling may be a great time to catch up on podcasts or your favorite tunes, but they prevent you from hearing approaching vehicles as well as you could.

5) Use both straps if you're carrying a backpack. It's too easy to get thrown off balance (especially when swerving to avoid hitting something or being hit!). Not doing so can definitely be used against you if you're struck!

6) Stay in your lane! Recent improvements to cyclists' safety laws make it much easier to share the road with vehicles that are many times bigger than you are ... be mindful that you don't drift or dart into traffic lanes, as that definitely weakens your case if you're struck.

Cyclist/vehicle accidents are showing a steady decline of about 6% annually in recent years, and that's a GOOD thing!

Remembering these safety tips can help you STAY SAFE OUT THERE!

If you ARE one of the unfortunate few to not able to avoid being struck, call me, Glenn Steeg, for free, actionable advice on your next steps!

IF YOU THINK DRIVING NEXT TO SEMIS IS INTIMIDATING ...

You REALLY don't want to deal with truck insurance lawyers without an experienced truck accident attorney by your side!

Big rigs carry insurance that's way different than you carry on your passenger vehicle (and way more expensive!).

That's because the sheer size, weight, time on the road and commercial cargos trucks carry make them a high insurance risk.

Thankfully, big rig accidents in west Michigan are fairly rare, considering how many trucks and passenger vehicles share I-94, US 131, I-69, and thousands of miles of Michigan highways every day.

But truck accidents still DO happen, even on clear sunny days ... most often with devastating results.

It's not the time to talk to a rookie:

You need an experienced truck accident lawyer who knows truck insurance inside and out, does thorough on-site investigations to reveal the truth, and stands up to the insurance company's delays, stall tactics, and excuses on your behalf.

I hope it never happens to you or a loved one.

But if it does, you're due the maximum compensation under Michigan law for the injuries, suffering, and potential loss of life caused by a negligent truck driver.

I've been standing up for big rig accident victims and their families for over 30 years. I've seen more devastation and won more compensation than you can possibly imagine.

And I can help, you, too ... while always treating you with compassion, dignity, and respect.

I truly hope you never need me. But if you do, here's my direct line: (269) 375-6224.

And please ... stay safe out there!

HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED?

Whenever there's an abrupt change in the Michigan weather – whether from bad to good, or good to bad – people tend to drive a little differently!

Distracted by a gorgeous sunny Spring day or unhappy over snow on April 26 (what?!), weather affects people's moods.

And moods are directly connected to vehicle accelerators ...

So with today's untimely white frosting, just remember to be extra safe and extra careful on our Michigan roads.

Remember that there are a whole bunch of drivers out there who are dealing with THEIR moods and agendas and the change in weather is affecting them, too.

And if you DO get injured in a crash by another driver who wasn't looking out for you, remember to contact the attorney who DOES: Glenn Steeg.

I've been practicing personal injury law for over 30 years and have single-handedly generated over $200 in wins for my west Michigan clients.

And I'm happy to give you a free legal consult if you or a loved one was injured out in today's crazy weather ...

I'd prefer it if everyone was extra safe and extra careful out there today ...

Slow down a little and use some extra patience.

Watch out for others who may not be looking out for you.

And do your part to get everyone home safely today.

If you or a loved one were injured in a motor vehicle accident, give me a quick call for your free consultation: 269.375.6224

It’s natural to assume that the two-way relationship you have with your employer will continue if you’ve been hurt on the job. After all, you know you’ve worked hard for them, and believe they have at least a certain level of care for your well-being.

Enter the employer’s workers comp insurance provider, though, and things change.

It’s now a three-way relationship, not a two-way one. And money is involved.

Think about how much "fun" that would be in a marriage!! At work, too, things can get dicey ...

Here are the top 5 ways injured employees inadvertently sabotage their own workers comp claims:

1) They fail to recognize the shift from a two-way relationship to a three-way transaction: Like it or not, comp claims are about money, and money involves transactions, not relationships.

2) They fail to get medical help right away: It’s easy (out of loyalty or monetary need) to assume certain types of injuries (especially repetitive stress injuries) will get better on their own, and keep working through the pain. This is ill advised, as it makes it much harder to prove that any injury that gets worse over time actually originated in the workplace.

3) They fail to get to witnesses before their employer does: Employers have much more power over other workers than fellow workers do, and can use that power to sway witnesses’ statements. Except where your injury incapacitates you, it’s best to ask other workers at the scene to provide you with statements of what they saw, in writing if possible, and forward them to your supervisor or HR department.

4) They minimize their injuries to coworkers: no one likes to be a complainer, but if you are experiencing pain as the result of a work-related task, it’s important NOT to minimize your pain so colleagues don’t worry about you. It’s OK to make vague statements of facts like “I’m not sure what’s going on here, but I …” and describe what you did and what you physically felt as a result of doing your task. Don’t say, “I’m sure I’ll be OK” as this absolutely weakens your claim!

5) They assume their employer has their best interests at heart: Sorry, but in their efforts to fill your spot as quickly as possible, employers typically seek to avoid the time, trouble, and expense of paying workers comp claims and look for ways to get you back to worker sooner than may be medically advisable. It’s easier than finding a replacement, even temporarily.
DON'T TAKE THAT BAIT; stick with what your doctor says. IT will almost always be used against you if you don't!

Need more information about making successful workers comp claims? Contact me and let’s talk about what’s going on with you right now.

I’ve won more comp claims than any other west Michigan attorney, and will give you proven, actionable advice about your next steps absolutely free. Call now: 269.375.6224
