2011-02-02
In 2009, over 4,400 motorcyclists were killed in traffic accidents according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA). That number represents a 16 percent reduction from the previous year when over 5,300 riders died on U.S. roads.

But despite the recent decline in motorcycle deaths, the number of motorcycle traffic fatalities ...

Minnesota Court Decision Leaves Construction Company Unpaid for Completed Work
2011-02-02
A recent decision from the Minnesota Court of Appeals has held that a construction company may not receive full payment from a city for the company's work on a completed construction project. The dispute arose out of a failed residential subdivision project, a scenario likely to be repeated in the wake of the housing boom and bust. The decision therefore may have important implications for construction law and commercial real estate.

2011-02-02
Because they weigh up to 80,000 pounds, when tractor trailers and other heavy trucks are involved in accidents, the consequences are likely to be serious.

In an effort to reduce truck accidents, federal regulations have required all newly manufactured semi-trailers and trucks to have Antilock Braking Systems (ABS) since 1998. However, it was not clear how effective this requirement had been in reducing truck accidents ...
