Medical Malpractice and Wrongful Death

By Patrick Hogan | October 15th, 2015

We place trust in our medical professionals to adhere to a standard of care. When an oversight, mistake, omission, or other act of negligence causes harm, the doctor has failed to maintain this standard of care and has committed medical malpractice. If this medical malpractice results in the death of a family member, then you have the right to seek compensation with a wrongful death lawsuit. While no amount of monetary compensation will replace the person lost, his or her death will have financial consequences and cause emotional suffering. Examples.

Collisions with Left Turning Cars: A Top Cause of Motorcycle Accidents

By Patrick Hogan | October 15th, 2015

Motorcycles aren’t always seen by motorists on the road. They are a minority in terms of numbers and have a small and thin profile compared to other vehicles. These characteristics mean that people aren’t looking for them and they are difficult to see. An intersection heavy with traffic worsens the problem. However, this is no excuse because it is the motorist’s responsibility to avoid collisions with any vehicle or person regardless of their visibility. One of the most common motorcycle accidents are collisions at intersections where a motorcycle is riding.

Avoiding a Crash with a Truck: How to Share the Road with Them

By Patrick Hogan | October 8th, 2015

When a 3,000 pound car and an 80,000 pound truck collide, the outcome is often grim. Some of these accidents could have been avoided had the driver in the car knew how to share the road with large trucks. Many motorists treat trucks as just another vehicle on the road which is a mistake. Large trucks can’t slow down as rapidly as cars. Trucks also have huge blind spots and require lots of road space for maneuvering. In short, trucks are radically different from ordinary cars and must be treated as such..

Car Accident Fatalities Have Spiked in the First Half of 2015

By Patrick Hogan | October 8th, 2015

2015 is proving to be one of the deadliest years for motorists in over 7 years. According to Ken Kolosh of the National Safety Council, “we’re not even into the more dangerous parts of the year.” Although not all of the contributing factors for this surge in car accident fatalities are known, it is generally attributed to greater numbers of motorists on the road. The economic recovery from the great recession means more people are on the roads commuting, and can afford to travel longer distances. This trend is also.

Jenner Denies Speed Caused Fatal Crash

By Patrick Hogan | October 8th, 2015

In a recent interview with NBC’s Today show, Caitlyn Jenner denied responsibility for the February crash that injured several people and killed an elderly woman, Kim Howe. California officials have reported that Jenner may be charged with vehicular manslaughter as a result of Howe’s death, a charge that could result in up to a year in prison. In rendering the charge, Los Angeles County sheriffs indicated that Jenner’s vehicle was operated at a speed “unsafe for road conditions.” The SUV was part of a cascade of vehicles involved, but Jenner’s.

Road Rage: An Epidemic That Causes Too Many Car Crashes

By Patrick Hogan | October 1st, 2015

Most people could never imagine themselves being sent to prison for assault, manslaughter, or homicide. They don’t consider themselves as violent criminals or a danger to society. They’re just people who work hard to earn a living and desire to get the most from life. However, a car is a powerful machine that does everything it’s directed to do. It can just as easily get you to work on time as it can maim or kill someone. People don’t have a full appreciation of this or of the fact that.

Four Car Accident Myths Debunked

By Patrick Hogan | October 1st, 2015

There are lots of car accident myths out there that are retold countless times. Some are the result of what seems like common sense while others are caused by news stories that get a lot of circulation. These misconceptions can cause serious injury and often prevent people from seeking medical treatment and legal help. If You Don’t Feel Pain and Can Move about, You Aren’t Injured This misconception is perfectly understandable because pain is how the body alerts us that something is wrong. However, the body releases adrenaline after an.

Avoid Motorcycle Accidents by Riding Defensively

By Patrick Hogan | October 1st, 2015

The advantages of the motorcycle such as its high maneuverability and high acceleration have a flip side. Its high maneuverability, the result of having two wheels, means it’s unstable compared to a car. Debris and road surface conditions that cars handle with ease, can knock a rider off his bike. The motorcycle’s high acceleration, the result of its small mass compared to its engine power, means that it’s at a higher risk of getting in an accident because its small size makes it less visible than a car. Its small.

The Night Time Car Accident: Four Tips for Avoiding Them

By Patrick Hogan | September 24th, 2015

One of the riskiest times to drive is during the night hours. Drunk drivers and speeders are on the road in increased numbers, vision is difficult, and people are fighting off drowsiness.

Injury Accidents Involving Multiple Parties

By Patrick Hogan | September 24th, 2015

All vehicle accidents are caused by unique or uncommon circumstances, but those involving semis, big rigs, or commercial trucks can be especially serious. This is partly because of the size of these vehicles and the overwhelming damage they can cause and personal injury that can be inflicted, but also because of the number of parties involved in the resulting injury claim. Semi operators are required by law to carry insurance with higher limits, and additional parties such as companies or partners may also share the financial responsibility. Because of these factors, if.
