Great videos from around the nation about bicycle safety.

You give three feet everywhere else. Why not for bicycles?

A sickening tragedy a mom on a bicycle killed and the baby she had with her on her bicycle caused by a distracted driver in Minnesota.

Bicycle safety.  Note that the films instructs you NOT to ride against traffic.  When will the folks riding backwards against traffic finally leave the gene pool?

Billboard/TV lawyers mishandling your personal injury case

Insurance companies know that Billboard/TV lawyers simply don’t have enough lawyers to prepare, review, work up and take all of their client’s cases to trial. Insurance companies therefore almost always settle their cases with Billboard/TV lawyers for what the insurance company wants to pay, not what the case is worth. Billboard/TV lawyers are simply high-volume “mills” for low-value settlements.

Lawyers, like any professionals, can severely affect your life. A bad medical doctor can cripple you. A bad accountant can take your all your money. A bad architect or engineer can design a building that collapses killing everyone.

Why would you get such a professional from a billboard or a television ad?

If you (or someone you know) made the mistake of hiring a billboard/t.v. lawyer and that lawyer pressured you to settle your case for less than what it should have received, call me.
