Some people argue that you cannot legislate against bad behavior, but placing legal limits on drivers is one of the best strategies for reducing car accidents. From statutes that criminalize drunk driving to bans on distracted driving, smart legal restrictions ultimately lead to fewer traffic deaths and serious injuries. Over the past decade, the Oregon Division of Transportation Safety has sponsored radio ads, TV spots and billboards to raise awareness of the problems caused by distraction behind the wheel. Meanwhile, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ...

How Easy Is It for Truck and Bus Companies that Have Been Shut Down for Safety Violations to Reopen Under Different Names? Reopening as a new business is too easy for truck and bus companies, so it appears. Skirting loose state laws for new company registrations has appeared to be quite simple for some less-than-reputable companies in the trucking industry. A recent article in the Insurance Journal noted how "reincarnated" trucking companies pop up almost instantly in Georgia, even after regulators have issued out-of-service orders to these motor carriers. In ...

At least 13 lawsuits have been filed against the state of Florida for injuries and wrongful deaths caused by Florida Highway Patrol's (FHP) decision to reopen the Gainesville stretch of I-75 this January, despite severe smoke and fog conditions. These motor vehicle accident lawsuits illustrate how injured parties may hold state and municipalities responsible for their poor decisions or road maintenance. FHP Kept Road Open, Despite Smoke and Fog This past January, the Gainesville area experienced a tragedy on its stretch of I-75. A nearby brush fire had made visibility ...

It is well known that a bankruptcy filing will stop a foreclosure, as long as a foreclosure sale has not taken place. However, many debtors wonder if their lender can come back after the bankruptcy case is closed and initiate foreclosure proceedings once again. This article will explain the answer to this question. Indeed, the automatic stay imposed through a bankruptcy filing buys a debtor time in which to review and reorganize all of their debts. No collection efforts may take place while the stay is in effect, and that includes foreclosure proceedings. However, a ...

As the election season kicks into full gear, it will be impossible to avoid discussing the state of the nation's economy. One of the major changes America may face is the expiration of tax cuts that started during George W. Bush's years in office and the implications their expiration will have on small businesses and those with a high net worth. Countdown to January First The tax law changes -- commonly referred to as the "Bush tax cuts" -- are scheduled to expire on January 1, 2013. If Congress fails to extend them, many Americans will experience a tax ...

Divorce can be an especially difficult experience for women. In addition to the feelings of shock, anger and betrayal, there is a huge financial change as well. Before the divorce, most women have the assistance of a husband in meeting financial obligations. However, once the divorce is completed, many women find themselves in control of their own finances and having a difficult time finding ways to pay their bills and save for retirement without a spouse's income. Although the task seems daunting, by taking the following steps, women can ensure that they get back on ...

A recent study by the Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing proves something that nurse labor advocates and medical watchdog groups have been saying for some time: upping the number of patients each nurse is responsible for each shift has a direct corollary in rates of patient infections, injuries and deaths. That same study revealed that when nurses reported on-the-job "burnout," there were patient consequences in the form of additional urinary catheter and surgical site infections. What Is "Burnout?" The ...

Marriage is an economic relationship as much as a social one. In a divorce, fairly dividing marital assets is one of the most important concerns. Equity in a home is the difference between the market value of the real estate and the amount still owed against it on a mortgage. Equity in a shared home is a unique asset; it involves shared value, but is also characterized by joint debt. Deciding how to split home equity in your divorce can certainly be a challenge. Even so, with a strong grasp of your options, you'll have a better chance of coming to a resolution that ...

Thanks to television shows and movies, most people have a basic idea of how field sobriety tests (FSTs) work. Just hearing the phrase "field sobriety test" might make you envision a motorist pulled over to the side of the road, trying to walk heel-to-toe along the yellow line while a stern-looking police officer looks on and the patrol car's lights flash in the background. Or, perhaps you picture someone trying to touch their nose with their fingertips, balance on one foot or recite the alphabet backwards. In real life, FSTs work a bit differently. Police officers ...

In North Carolina, as in other states, when an employee gets a work-related injury or occupational illness, the legal remedy is usually a workers' compensation claim. Very basically, the workers' compensation system is almost always the exclusive remedy for work injuries, paying benefits to injured workers no matter who was at fault. In exchange, the worker may normally not sue his or her employer in court for the harm. North Carolina workers' compensation statutes require that the employer provide "medical compensation" to an employee with a covered work injury ...
