If you’re in the market for a new vehicle, it is important to consider the cost of auto insurance when determining your budget. Depending on the make, model, age, and fuel economy of the car that you ultimately choose, the insurance premium could end up being the most expensive cost associated with maintaining it.
Attending a deposition and answering questions about your accident and injuries can be intimidating because a single misguided statement could have a significant impact on the outcome of your case. A personal injury lawyer from the Cooper Law Firm can help you prepare for the deposition by explaining the process and the questions that you will likely have to answer. This alone will reduce much of the stress you feel going into the proceedings, and it will prevent you from making critical misstatements that would compromise your case.
High-impact accidents often result in serious injuries that have lasting repercussions on several aspects of a victim’s life. For example, a severe injury could prevent you from returning to the same career, which can put your family’s financial security in jeopardy.
If you were injured in a car accident that another driver caused, you have the right to pursue compensation for any damages you incurred as a result. Although no amount of compensation can undo your pain and emotional trauma, it may help you restore financial stability.
Lane splitting is a common motorcycle technique that refers to the act of riding between passenger vehicles in slow-moving traffic. Motorcycle advocates argue that in certain conditions, lane splitting is much safer than riding with a car in front of you and one behind you because it reduces the risk of fatal rear-end collisions in heavy traffic; however, it remains illegal in 49 states.
For many American families, summer is the perfect time to travel because the kids are out of school. Unfortunately, it also happens to be the perfect time to complete road construction because the weather is more predictable than it is during the winter months.
Americans spend about 17,600 minutes driving each year on average. With so much time on the road, it’s easy to become complacent—especially if you follow all traffic laws and behave responsibly. Unfortunately, all it takes is one drunk, distracted, or negligent motorist to cause a serious accident.
All car accidents are stressful, but when the at-fault driver does not have insurance, any victims face the possibility of falling into debt due to medical bills and lost income. Sadly, this scenario is alarmingly common in the United States. According to the Insurance Information Institute, approximately 1 in 8 motorists were uninsured in 2012. Although this number has declined in recent years, getting into a collision with an uninsured or underinsured driver is still a very real possibility.
It should come as no surprise that collisions with tractor-trailers can be devastating. Because of their weight, large trucks can do severe damage to passenger cars, and accidents between the two often result in fatalities.
