Fires in Idaho have created hazy conditions and have destroyed 380,000 acres. According to the Idaho Statesman, more land in Idaho is on fire than any other state. Weather conditions may only make the fires worse. The fires are widespread and have moved closer to communities and areas where more people in Idaho live, affecting structures, homes, and roads.
According to U.S. News & World Report, the average age of cars on U.S. highways is currently 11.5 years. Since 2002, the average age of vehicles on the road has been getting older. This is due to many factors, including the recession and improvements in vehicles that make them more reliable.
When bikers take to the road, they are required to abide by all traffic laws. This creates safety for both bikers and drivers, as both bikers and drivers then have clear expectations about behavior.
Pain and suffering damages are some of the most debated damages in personal injury law. Critics argue that because these damages are difficult to quantify or value, that they should be limited or eliminated altogether. However, recent studies have shown that pain and suffering, and grief following personal loss, can lead to inflammation responses in adults. This means that grief is not just something that happens in a person’s head. Grief has a real, measurable impact on the body.
Distracted driving is a significant contributor to car accidents. In the age of mobile technology, multi-tasking while behind the wheel has become a way of life for some. Sadly, for individuals who engage in regular distracted driving behaviors, it is not a question of “if” the driver will be involved in a serious accident, but “when.”
Traumatic brain injury and mild traumatic brain injury are notoriously difficult to diagnose, especially immediately following an accident. It can sometimes be weeks or even months before victims are aware that their symptoms—which can range from dizziness to insomnia—are connected to a car accident. Statute of limitation laws place limits on the amount of time personal injury victims have to pursue a case. Unfortunately, some victims learn too late that their symptoms are connected to their car accident. This can leave victims shouldering rehabilitative expenses that rightfully should have been paid by a negligent party.
On a rainy morning in September 2013, a man was struck and killed by a car while riding his bike. The man had been riding in a construction zone under low-light conditions.
