Any automobile accident has catastrophic potential; however, an accident involving an 80,000 pound tractor trailer truck increases the risk of not just critical injury but death. Often, tractor trailer drivers are contracted by large companies who, when a critical injury or wrongful death results from the negligence of one of their drivers, would rather protect their own financial interests than compensate you for your pain and suffering. Jason Schultz isn’t afraid to fight large commercial corporations or insurance companies, especially when they are trying to get away with paying you less than you need to cover medical costs, irreparable physical damage, and lost wages.

Automobile manufacturers want to sell cars and make money. Making sure you are fairly compensated for the injuries you suffer because of a faulty design, negligent manufacturing practices, or shoddy testing is not their top priority. Why should you pay the price for their negligence? Over the years we have seen a variety of defects cause tragic accidents. Weak roofs that crush in, faulty air bag design, air bag injuries, vehicle rollovers, seat belt failures, brake failures, door latch defects, occupant ejection, glass defects, and cruise control failures, we have seen them all. Don’t let manufacturers get away with murder – if you have been injured or a loved one killed by an automobile defect, contact the law office of Bisnar & Chase immediately. Immediate and proper preservation of the involved vehicle is crucial to supporting an auto defect case. Do not allow your vehicle to be repaired, altered or tampered with. It is crucial evidence in your auto defect case.

Most podiatrists are completely frustrated with their current practice marketing because it’s expensive and doesn’t work, but they keep doing the same thing year after year because the same people (what we call the media vultures) keep stopping by to sell the same old media – yellow page ads, online directories, clipper ads, etc. The Top Practices Marketing Program can help you to break this cycle with an entirely new and focused method of practice marketing. Even better, you will save money while attracting exactly the kinds of patients you most want to see. Find out more.

With so many cars on the road, walking or riding a bike has become a dangerous prospect. Many victims of pedestrian or bicycle accidents don’t follow up because they assume that they are at fault. Drivers of automobiles do not have the right to simply run pedestrians over. Even if someone is crossing against the crosswalk, drivers can be found negligent if it can be determined that there was at least a chance of slowing down and avoiding the accident. If you’ve been injured by a vehicle while walking or riding a bike, don’t make any assumptions until you’ve contacted an attorney.
