Dangers Of Public Escalators
When we take an escalator, we tend to think that’s a pretty safe way to get up and down different levels of a building.

Maybe Minivan Safety Isn’t What You Thought It Was
When we think of vehicles that are safe for our families, particularly our children, we often think of minivans. They’re large, roomy, heavier, and protect occupants better than a standard vehicle.

Who Is Liable For Your Car Accident? Maybe More People Than You Thought
Let’s say that you are in a car accident. The obvious liable party, and the party you’d most think of suing, would be the other driver, the negligent driver that caused the accident. And that’s correct, and smart. But have you ever given thought to other parties that could have contributed to your accident?… Read More »
How Your Case May Be Evaluated By AI
It used to be that when you had a claim for injuries after an accident you (through your injury attorney) would submit your claim, and someone for the insurance company on the other side—usually, an insurance adjuster, or perhaps, a committee of adjusters—would look at and evaluate your claim. That does still happen today,… Read More »
How Drunk Driving Injury Cases Are Different
