Halloween is a Scary Night on the Road
Halloween is a night full of fun for trick-or-treaters.

Howell v. Hamilton Meats: A Disappointing Supreme Court Decision
Consumer rights attorneys across California were disappointed by today’s California Supreme Court decision in Howell v. Hamilton Meats & Provisions Inc.

Novice Errors, Not Road Rage or Reckless Behavior, Behind Most Teen Accidents
Recent research conducted by the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Center for Injury Research and Prevention indicates serious auto accidents involving teenage drivers are commonly caused by lack of driving experience.

Distraction, including cell phone use and texting while driving, accounted for another 20% of serious teen accidents.
Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) Common After Motor Vehicle Accidents
According to a recent study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) although common in post-combat military personnel, is not just a combat-related issue. It can occur following non-combat situations with consequences that are just as serious. PTSD is a type of anxiety disorder that occurs after a person experiences a traumatic event causing serious injury. It can occur in up to 51% percent of people who are seriously injured in car accidents.
