Rights of DUI Victims

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, one person dies in a drunk driving accident every 51 minutes in United States.

2012-07-28
DALLAS, TX, July 28, 2012 (Press-News.org) According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, one person dies in a drunk driving accident every 51 minutes in United States. Even when these accidents do not result in death, they almost always result in serious pain and injuries for their victims.

Drunk drivers may face stiff legal penalties, but DUI victims are seldom adequately compensated for injuries sustained in these accidents. When a drunk driver hurts you or someone you love, only an auto accident attorney can help you get every penny you are due.

Know Your Rights

When you are injured in a car accident caused by someone who was drunk, you have every right to seek compensation above and beyond paltry insurance offerings. With the help of an auto accident attorney, victims of DUI accidents are entitled to seek compensation for:

- Current and future medical expenses
- All related physical and emotional rehabilitation expenses
- Current and future lost wages
- Property damage
- Lifestyle modifications
- Emotional distress
- Physical pain and suffering

When a drunk driver kills a parent or spouse, dependent children and widows or widowers are entitled to seek compensation for damages including:

- End of life expenses
- Projected future income
- Projected future financial contributions
- Loss of a loved one
- Emotional duress

DUI victims and surviving family members are entitled to these damages. However, without the help of an aggressive auto accident attorney, you may be at the mercy of greedy insurance companies or attorneys for the drunk driver.

Don't place yourself at the mercy of a drunk driver and those who would work to protect them. An auto accident attorney will place your rights and happiness as his or her top priority and do everything possible to see that justice is served and you receive every penny you deserve.

If you have been injured or a loved one has been killed by a drunk driver in or around Dallas, Texas, please visit the website of PolewskiLaw, P.C. to learn how our auto accident attorneys can help get you justice at www.polewskilaw.com.

Breast Implant Manufacturers

2012-07-28
In the U.S., only a few different companies manufacture and produce breast implants. Part of the reason for this is because the breast implant industry is extremely competitive. Over time, any smaller manufacturers that try to come into play get bought out by the larger companies. If you are getting a breast augmentation in America, your breast implants will come from one of three companies: - Allergan, Inc. - Formerly called Inamed Aesthetic and McGhan Medical, Allergan creates breast implants that go by the brand name Natrelle. - Mentor Corporation - Located in Santa ...

Exercise with Breast Implants

2012-07-28
Many women considering breast implants in the Tampa area are avid exercisers. With year-round mild climate and a 9-month swimsuit season, it's important to women to keep in good shape. Unfortunately, with exercise, women often find their breasts shrink as well, so they don't get the look they desire, and look to breast implants as a way to even out their figure. But they're also concerned: will breast implants impact my ability to keep enjoying my regular exercise routine? The good news is that women will likely be able to keep exercising after getting breast implants, ...

Homeowners and Landlords Can Be Liable for Sidewalk Accidents

2012-07-28
Taking the time to ensure a sidewalk abutting a homeowner's property is hazard free isn't just a neighborly thing to do, it's often a legal requirement. Massachusetts state law allows cities and towns to require homeowners to remove hazards like snow and ice from sidewalks and implement fines for violations. Of course, snow and ice are not the only hazards that can lead to accidents. Many walkers, runners and bicyclists enjoying the warm weather can experience an accident if they slip and fall or trip over a hazard related to tree roots or pooling water, common in warmer ...

Illinois Child Custody: Birthdays, Holidays and School Breaks

2012-07-28
The divorce process can be so intense for parents. Some days, it's all they can do to just put one foot in front of the other, and it's easy to lose focus on the children. To be fair, it is clearly in the kids' interest to make sure mom and dad are each financially and emotionally sound enough to keep all the balls in the air that are required to juggle the kids' lives. So when divorcing parents are focused on broader divorce issues that affect where the kids will live, who will drive them (and in what car) to their activities, and how all of this will get paid for and ...

Report Indicates that Medical Bills Drive Women into Debt

2012-07-28
The Commonwealth Fund, a non-profit organization that advocates for health care reform, recently released a report indicating that 26 percent of women in the United States struggled with paying medical bills in 2009-2010. These numbers pale in comparison to other nations. 13 percent of Australian women endured such problems, and only 4 percent of German women reported such trouble. With 35 million women uninsured (or underinsured), the report is further evidence that medical bills continue to drive women into debt. In an interview with NBCNews.com, Commonwealth Fund ...

Missouri Court Says Employer Not Liable for Truck Driver Stabbing

2012-07-28
Trucking companies can be held liable after a semi accident for a variety of reasons, including a failure to provide proper training to drivers or encouraging them to violate hours-of-service rules. Accident-related injuries that are caused by an employer's negligence are subject to a personal injury claim for damages.

A recent Missouri Court of Appeals case involved an interesting twist on this ...

Bankruptcy and Divorce

2012-07-28
Divorce is often the cause of serious financial stress, and many individuals going through a divorce wonder if they should file for bankruptcy. They wonder how they will be affected if a spouse files. They may hope that they can avoid paying child support or alimony if they are declared bankrupt. They have questions about the automatic stay and how it might protect them from creditors. An Automatic Stay Does Not Cover Alimony and Child Support Although specific answers to questions like these depend on an individual's circumstances, there are some basics that anyone ...

Misdiagnosis: Failure to Recognize a Deadly Bacterial Infection

2012-07-28
Based on recent news reports and articles, Rory Staunton was a normal energetic and highly inquisitive 12-year-old boy. He passionately pursued interests like basketball and flying while wrestling with the daily hassles of homework.

All concerned parents should stop and read about what happened to young Rory in hopes of preventing the same type of tragedy from claiming ...
