HERNIATED DISCS FROM REAR END COLLISION

Each year between 5 and 20 per 1000 individuals suffer from herniated discs, an injury related to the protrusion of a spinal disc’s soft center.

While many factors can cause these injuries, one common cause is motor vehicle accidents, particularly rear end collisions due to the force exerted on the spine when the vehicle suddenly surges forward.

STAYING UP TO DATE WITH STATE LAWS

Each state has laws that regulate how long after an accident you may bring a lawsuit against the negligent party.

These laws are referred to as the “Statute of Limitations.”

States update their legal codes periodically, so it is important to be sure that any car accident attorney you consider hiring is not only experienced, but up to date with the latest legislative changes in your state.

BLIND SPOT BICYCLE ACCIDENTS

Not only do motor vehicles travel faster than bicycles, they also include blind spots due to their structure.

These blind spots can be ideally placed to make bicyclists, who sit lower in the road and take up less horizontal space than even the smallest subcompact passenger cars, difficult for drivers to see in time to prevent a crash.

As a result, even watchful drivers can easily miss a bicycle – sometimes with disastrous results.

SHOULD YOU POST ABOUT YOUR CAR ACCIDENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA?

Generally speaking, when it comes to car accidents and social media, a valuable rule of thumb is to err on the side of sharing less, rather than more.

You can always decide later to post material you initially held back, but even deleting a post after the fact will not necessarily remove it from all records.

In Florida, New Hampshire, or Vermont, an experienced car accident attorney with Shillen Mackall Seldon & Spicer may be able to advise you further in a personalized consultation.

BASIC HOURS OF SERVICE RULES FOR FREIGHT TRUCK DRIVERS

Truck drivers hauling freight are required to take a break of 30 minutes after driving for eight aggregated hours, and they cannot drive following an on-duty period of 60 or more hours over a seven-day period or an on-duty period of 70 or more hours over the course of eight days without taking an off-duty period of 34 hours or more.

The trucking company may be liable if there is evidence that they knew about hours of service violations and looked the other way.
