DENVER, CO, January 08, 2011 (Press-News.org) Getting in a a severe car accident can be a life-changing experience. Car accidents can result in mild injuries, such as scratches and scrapes, or serious and life-threatening trauma such as head, neck, and spinal cord injuries. It is important to follow the some specific steps after being in a severe car accident to ensure that you are able to recover physically, emotionally, and financially.
Your first step after a severe car accident should be to seek immediate medical attention. If possible, exchange the following information from all drivers involved:
- Name
- Address
- Phone number
- Insurance company
- Policy number
- Driver's license number
- License plate number
Take photographs of the car accident that capture both the damage to your vehicle and the environment in which it occurred. Always be polite, but never admit to a police officer or the other driver that the accident was your fault. Admitting fault can limit or restrict the amount of compensation you may receive for your injuries and vehicle damage.
As soon as you are able, contact an experienced car accident attorney who knows how to deal with insurance companies. Having an attorney help you handle your severe car accident claim will make the entire process less difficult. Once it has been determined that the other driver was at fault, your attorney can ensure you receive compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering from any serious injuries, and loss of income due to your inability to work after the car accident.
If you lost a loved in a severe car accident due to the negligence of another driver, you may have a wrongful death claim. If so, you may be eligible to receive compensation for:
- Loss of financial support
- Loss of companionship
- Medical bills
- Funeral expenses

2011-01-08
According to New York City statistics available to New York personal injury attorneys, there have been approximately 3,830 bicycle related accidents, including 12 fatal accidents involving bicycles, so far this year.

Jurisdiction in Minnesota for Out of State Developers
2011-01-08
Before an individual can be called into a particular court, that court must have personal jurisdiction over the person. If you have never had any interactions with the state of Minnesota, for example, a Minnesota court cannot demand that you make an appearance.
When companies are involved, though, the issue of personal jurisdiction can become complicated. Companies do not reside in a single location and often interact with people in a variety of states; complex business structures can lead to difficult questions regarding personal jurisdiction.
Recently, the Minnesota ...

2011-01-08
Anyone who skis or snowboards knows that a certain level of risk is inherent to these sports. Yet after a ski accident , many injured skiers are unaware just where the line is between negligence on the part of others and the risks one assumes by taking to the slopes. Although skiing is a relatively safe sport, serious injuries can occur. When a skier is injured, it is very important to be able to recognize when fellow skiers, or the ski resort itself, may be to blame under Colorado law.

Despite skiing's reputation as a dangerous sport, the rates ...
The Hallmark of Our Justice System: Innocent Until Proven Guilty
2011-01-08
In the United States, our justice system is premised on a fundamental principle: those accused of crime are deemed innocent until they are proven guilty. The bar for establishing guilt is high -- jurors are expected to only convict an individual accused of a crime if the prosecutor has proved guilt "beyond a reasonable doubt."
At times though, this expectation contradicts the assumptions of those who are asked to serve as members of the jury. For some it is easy to assume that by the time an individual has been arrested by the police and put on trial by a prosecutor, ...
Should the MTA be Required to Unlock New York Subway Doors?
2011-01-08
City councilwoman Letitia James introduced a resolution that would force the MTA to unlock subway car doors.
She says it's a question of public safety. With the subway doors locked, passengers have no way to escape a situation in which they feel unsafe, like a fight in a subway car or harassment by another rider.
The city, however, believes that locked doors keep the straphangers safer. When the trains are moving, the gap between cars can be dangerously large at times. To the city, the risk involved in allowing individuals to move between cars outweighs the risk ...
