PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM red Rubber Stamp over a white background.
You’ve been through four years to get your Bachelor’s Degree and likely about three to get your JD, not to mention any internships or prior experience. All of that reading through case studies and precedent it’s not hard to begin to write or speak like you belong in Robert’s Rule of Order. There are clearly many circumstances where a professional, formal style can assist the young tort attorney, but sometimes formality goes well too far.
Most of all, lawyers must learn business etiquette. Naturally, that includes knowing marketing 101 to start with. But informality often gets attorneys in trouble. And this is especially true if they let colloquialisms...
Serving Your Clients in Every Way
PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM red Rubber Stamp over a white background.
If you haven’t had one of these clients yet, it’s just a matter of time. There are often clients in desperate need of more than the job description of an attorney can provide.

No matter how much liability insurance coverage there is, when there multiple injuries and deaths, coverage runs out fast. The fallout of not having enough money as a disabled victim is staggering.
Although buses and semi-trucks generally carry higher liability insurance coverage than small cars, it is usually no more than several million dollars. In this case, we can foresee the passengers and survivors fighting over money.
The tour bus crash happened on Interstate 10 in Palm Springs. The tour bus operated by USA Holiday crashed with the rear of a tractor trailer truck. The bus at the time traveled on the return trip to Los Angeles after a trip to Red Earth Casino in Thermal, California.

Can they escape the payback? California attorney examines the issues and potential fraud vitiating consent to join at all. The Pentagon is making thousands of soldiers repay enlistment bonuses. They’re bonuses of $15,000 or more. This money given to soldiers for enlistment when short of troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.
However, now after ten years the Pentagon wants the money back. Even though, many served multiple tours in the Middle East. This involves about 14,000 soldiers ordered to repay the enlistment bonus. So in other words, soldiers were told they would get a signing bonus for enlisting to fight in the wars.
They accepted, signed and went to serve. It would appear that the...
Ridesharing
Automatic Emergency Braking systems, or AEBs, become nearly universal in passenger cars by 2022. Most of the major car manufacturers have jumped on the wave. They offer them in their new car lineups or will soon. While there can be certain advantages to such a system, a AAA study cited by TechCrunch showed a number of unexpected drawbacks. As the pace of such systems only increases the need for a closer look grows as well.
The tests found interesting facts about cars using the AEB systems running at 30 and 45 miles per hour. Often they still do not prevent all crashes. In fact, the tests weren’t even close. When operating at 45 the car did not avoid such a collision 60% of the time.
There are still positive aspects to...
Reuters reported that Mitsubishi lied about more vehicles than earlier reported. The company agreed to send about $1,000 to owners of its recent vehicles included in the scandal. Due to this, these makes include the Mirage and Outlander. The Wall Street Journal reported that the company has halted sales of eight models in Japan. U.S. models were also affected by the company’s malfeasance. But does it really matter in this age where the FBI allows Hillary Clinton to lie under oath and violate State Official record keeping laws with no consequences?
Automotive News reported on the company’s headquarters and one factory raided by the Japanese government. The scandal is growing further in Japan and show that the company’s...

Volkswagen is attempting to end their scandal with a settlement with the U.S. government. The federal government is willing to work with the company after years of concealing true emissions of their vehicles. VW admitted to cheating on their tests with the EPA due to fixing their computers.
The controversy extends into other brands owned under the VW umbrella, including Audi and Porsche. The SF Gate reported on the preliminary deal, in which a federal judge accepts Volkwagen’s offer. Almost $5 billion will be given to the federal government and states in fines and penalties. Thus, this includes almost $100 million for the state of California.
Not Ending the Controversy
VW’s troubles are not over yet. Too many...
Playing Against Millennials’ Interests
Vetted member of the Personal Injury Warriors Crew
There are a series of stereotypes about Millennials. Many of them are negative, but 100% accurate. Many of that generation get portrayed as unable to handle difficult circumstances. They are also in need of “safe spaces”, free speech zones” and coddling. Many “progressive” injury law firms play into this stereotype. So they are actively attempting to bring in younger clients. Also, they do this through the support of policies that hurt businesses, including law companies.
Millennials and Financial Chaos
Americans for Tax Reform describe the economic situation of Millenials as “financial chaos.” Unemployment...

Happy family at sunset
Injuries to our kids are probably the single worst nightmare for a responsible parent. Living in a free society means we have dangerous freedoms. At the end of the despot spectrum, we have peaceful slavery. Tempering the two means society as a whole must be taught civics and love of country at an early age.
When citizens are divided and trample their flag, laws are meaningless and selectively enforced. Instead, your right to life, liberty, and property become dependent upon political leanings of the judge, prosecutor, and jury. Parents cannot and should not cede their duty to rear responsible kids to the government that benefits from division and discontent politically.
When parents are on welfare and have never had...
