There are many different ways that a person may receive a concussion: Car accidents, bike and pedestrian accidents, falls, physical violence such as fighting, and impact sports are just some of the ways that people commonly become concussed. Some people think that concussions are not serious injuries, and that they will simply go away on their own. However, a concussion is a serious injury and should be treated as such, particularly because dangerous secondary complications can occur.

If you have ever been involved in a motorcycle accident, you know just exactly what a scary experience it is. As a motorcyclist, without the external structural protection that other vehicles possess, you are particularly vulnerable to other motorists around you. Sadly, a motorcycle accident can permanently impair the rider involved, and several thousand of them occur each and every year.

Recent studies have shown that all over the world, motor vehicle accidents are one of the leading causes of death. In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Administration, car accidents happen every minute of the day; motor vehicle accidents occur every 60 seconds. And today with the number of distractions that are presented to motorists, it is more important than ever to practice safe driving.

PIP (personal injury protection) insurance is an insurance policy that was designed to help all drivers. It has a no-fault status, meaning that whether you caused the accident, or another driver is at fault, you still receive insurance benefits in the case of injury. Within the state of Florida, all drivers who own and register a vehicle must have auto insurance. To maintain Florida registration and receive a license plate, drivers must meet PIP requirements by carrying at least $10,000 in PIP insurance. Florida law states that a PIP policy covers 80% of medical expenses and 60% of lost wages as a result of the accident. If the insured person paid for the minimum policy requirement of $10,000, then this will be the maximum amount paid; if the insured person paid for a higher amount than required by law, that amount is the cap.

Driving safely isn’t just important to parents during school season; it’s important to all motorists on the road. Once tourist season ends in Florida, many drivers tend to think that the roads will become less congested.

So, here are some tips for driving safely during school season.

If you have suffered any sort of injury that was due to someone else’s negligence, such as a dog bite, a serious accident, or even medical malpractice, you have fallen victim to what is referred to in legal terms as “personal injury.” One of the most immediate advantages of hiring a personal injury attorney is that it shows insurance companies and defendants that you take your rights very seriously and that you are positioning yourself to receive a better personal injury settlement. However, there is a significant difference between hiring just any personal injury attorney, and hiring one who really cares.

Personal injury attorneys frequently hear from individuals who seek representation because they did not know that their car, truck, or motorcycle was inadequately insured. For example, many insurance companies charge an extra premium on motorcycle insurance for what is called “Guest Passenger Liability.” What this means is that the company requires an extra premium to cover any passengers you have with you on your motorcycle. Without this coverage, you are left completely uninsured for your passenger’s lost wages, hospital bills, and injuries in the event that you are involved in an accident. Surely, you would expect insurance companies to be transparent about this fact. However, there are many insurance companies which do not point out this hole in your insurance. This is why you need to learn how to decipher insurance jargon and determine the full extent of your insurance coverage. It could save you thousands in the event of an accident. We have compiled some explanations of common insurance terms below.

Researchers have found that as many as 25% of all car accidents happen in bad weather; they have also discovered that more fatal crashes occur in the South, where both the rainfall totals and the population are high.

While people often stay home and avoid the roads in icy and snowy conditions, the roads and highways are usually just as busy during rain storms. It is important to remember that rain does cause dangerous driving conditions, and that you should always exercise caution when operating any vehicle in the rain. Here are some tips for driving safely when it is raining.
