DULUTH, GA, March 29, 2012 (Press-News.org) The Atlanta accident attorneys at Ernst and Partners are pleased to announce a no cost legal case review service to victims or families of victims injured or killed in pedestrian accidents throughout the Atlanta, GA metro area.
"Pedestrian accidents have become a real concern in the Atlanta metro area. When a pedestrian is struck by an automobile, the outcome is often catastrophic. Most pedestrian accidents result in serious injury or death. Although Georgia has strict pedestrian laws, accidents continue to happen daily, often due to the negligence of distracted or intoxicated drivers. As a concerned citizen of the community, I aim to fight for the rights of those innocent victims and seek justice and compensation for their injuries." states John Ernst, Georgia personal injury attorney.
According to the latest 2009 reports provide by National , there were 4,092 pedestrians fatalities and an estimated 59,000 pedestrian injuries in traffic crashes in the United States. On average, a pedestrian was killed every two hours and injured every nine minutes in traffic crashes. Source (NHSTA) That same year 150 people lost their lives in pedestrian accidents in the state of Georgia.
Seventeen years ago, in 1995, the Georgia state legislature altered crosswalk laws to dictate that drivers "stop and stay stopped" for pedestrians, not just yield to them. See Georgia Pedestrian Law
Recently, Ernst & Partners settled a pedestrian accident case with Travelers Insurance Company. The insurance company had denied their client, M.L. (kept anonymous to protect the interest of client) liability payment. The client had been to three other lawyers who told him that there was no case. The client came to Ernst & Partners right when the statue of limitation was about to end. With limited time, the attorneys at Ernst and Partners fought hard and won a settlement for their client in which all their medicals were paid and the client was able to take money home to his family.

Study by NOAA and partners shows some Gulf dolphins severely ill
2012-03-27
Bottlenose dolphins in Barataria Bay, Louisiana, are showing signs of severe ill health, according to NOAA marine mammal biologists and their local, state, federal and other research partners.
Barataria Bay, located in the northern Gulf of Mexico, received heavy and prolonged exposure to oil during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Based on comprehensive physicals of 32 live dolphins from Barataria Bay in the summer of 2011, preliminary results show that many of the dolphins in the study are underweight, anemic, have low blood sugar and/or some symptoms of liver and ...
Slime mold mimics Canadian highway network
2012-03-27
Queen's University professor Selim Akl has provided additional proof to the theory that nature computes.
Dr. Akl (School of Computing) placed rolled oats on a map of Canada, covering the major urban areas. One urban area held the slime mold. The slime mold reached out for the food, creating thin tubes that eventually formed a network mirroring the Canadian highway system.
"By showing species as low as slime mold can compute a network as complex as the Canadian highway system, we were able to provide some evidence that nature computes," says Dr. Akl.
Moving forward, Dr. ...
Stem cell study aids quest for motor neurone disease therapies
2012-03-27
A breakthrough using cutting-edge stem cell research could speed up the discovery of new treatments for motor neurone disease (MND).
The international research team has created motor neurones using skin cells from a patient with an inherited form of MND.
The study discovered that abnormalities of a protein called TDP-43, implicated in more than 90 per cent of cases of MND, resulted in the death of motor neurone cells.
This is the first time that scientists have been able to see the direct effect of abnormal TDP-43 on human motor neurons.
The study, led by the ...
US economic woes ripple all the way to Latin America, U-M study shows
2012-03-27
The national recession didn't just hit people living in the U.S. – it's made it more difficult for people to pay for medical bills in poor countries like Honduras, according to a new University of Michigan study.
As employment opportunities have dried up for Latino immigrants in the U.S., so has their ability to send financial assistance to chronically ill family members in their home countries, according to a U-M study published online this week ahead of print in the International Journal of Health Services.
"Remittance payments from relatives living in the United ...
New analysis of premature infants' heartbeats, breathing could be cues for leaving NICU
2012-03-27
Bethesda, Md. -- Late gestation is a busy time for babies getting ready for life outside the womb, particularly for functions critical to life such as breathing and maintaining an adequate heartbeat. These two functions are connected in mature infants and healthy people throughout life, so measuring their level of connectedness can give doctors a cue about whether an infant is ready to head home or needs to remain in the care of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Current methods to analyze this connection are not yet fully developed, leaving doctors and nurses without ...
Tiny reader makes fast, cheap DNA sequencing feasible
2012-03-27
Researchers have devised a nanoscale sensor to electronically read the sequence of a single DNA molecule, a technique that is fast and inexpensive and could make DNA sequencing widely available.
The technique could lead to affordable personalized medicine, potentially revealing predispositions for afflictions such as cancer, diabetes or addiction.
"There is a clear path to a workable, easily produced sequencing platform," said Jens Gundlach, a University of Washington physics professor who leads the research team. "We augmented a protein nanopore we developed for ...
Wind energy enhancement: UC research establishes real-world wind turbine performance metrics
2012-03-27
VIDEO:
This shows a simulation of wind turbine performance.
Click here for more information.
The production of wind-derived renewable energy is growing, and so, it's important to help wind farm owners operate at higher efficiencies with lower costs.
In fact, figures from the World Wind Energy Association report that installed global capacity for wind-energy production was approximately 240,000 megawatts of power in 2011, up nearly ten fold since 2001.
That growth, which ...
Geologists correct a rift in Africa
2012-03-27
EAST LANSING, Mich. — The huge changes in the Earth's crust that influenced human evolution are being redefined, according to research published today in Nature Geoscience.
The Great Rift Valley of East Africa – the birthplace of the human species – may have taken much longer to develop than previously believed.
""We now believe that the western portion of the rift formed about 25 million years ago, and is approximately as old as the eastern part, instead of much younger as other studies have maintained," said Michael Gottfried, Michigan State University associate professor ...
