Police said they intended to use the increased enforcement as a way to call drivers' attention to the change in the move over law that occurred in 2012. New York drivers should be aware of the state's move over law requirements and the penalties they face for violating the law. New York ...

Drivers in Florida are required to carry personal injury protection auto insurance, which is also known as PIP coverage. The purpose of this coverage is to pay for reasonable medical expenses and wage losses in car accidents, without regard to who was actually at fault for the accident. The PIP system has long been a source of controversy. Advocates of the law say that it allows quick payment of medical costs and lost wages and avoids the uncertainties of a system where the recovery is based on personal injury lawsuits. However, opponents of the law assert that the costs ...

Responsibility for drunk driving accidents in Texas When a drunk driver causes an injury to an unsuspecting ...

In 1972, Massachusetts amended its constitution to include a provision that "[t]he people shall have the right to clean air and water, freedom from excessive and unnecessary noise, and the natural, scenic, historic, and esthetic qualities of their environment."

Under California law, all drivers are prohibited from talking on a handheld cellphone. California also bans texting behind the wheel for all motorists. But, in this day and age, handheld electronic devices have capabilities that extend far beyond the simple talk and text features of cellphones of the past. Can California drivers legally use apps, access content and perform other actions on their phones as long as they stay away from talking and texting? A new California appeals court ruling makes it inescapably clear that the state's ban on mobile phone use behind the ...

Sometimes, however, those who are eligible and most deserving are initially denied the benefits to which they are entitled. People who believe they have wrongly been denied benefits should consider ...
