Many of us are culprits of the occasional peek at our phone while sitting at the intersection or driving slow, but the fact is, even if you’re stopped or moving along at a snail’s pace, your phone should be entirely off-limits when you’re behind the wheel.
Driving is difficult enough with the usual distractions: food, music, kids, construction, etc. Adding a smartphone to the mix is not only irresponsible, but can lead to destruction, injury, and death.
Personal injury attorneys are legal professionals well-versed in the legal field. They fight to get justice and compensation for those who have been injured, either directly or indirectly, by other individuals or entities.
First and foremost, your recovery process should be your focus. Hiring a personal injury lawyer allows you to handle those pressing concerns as your legal team deals with the legal matters. If you’ve been injured in a car accident, slip and fall, have a workers’ compensation matter, or insurance bad faith issue, a seasoned personal injury attorney will make all the difference.
Slip and fall accidents run the gamut when it comes to seriousness. We’ve represented clients who fell while on the job and had to take a few weeks off of work, and those who have fallen while on someone else’s property due to the negligence of the property owner and suffered ongoing injury.
If you’ve been involved in a slip and fall accident and are wondering what your rights are, the personal injury lawyers at Hull & Zimmerman would like to help.
Driving these days can be a bit scary. With handheld devices in just about every hand, many drivers are distracted every time they get behind the wheel by more than just everyday occurrences that happen on the road. For this reason, it’s imperative that you stay focused and pay close attention to your surroundings when driving. Even in the parking lot.
Many of us don’t consider parking lot accidents to be serious, relevant, or common. But that’s not the case. Parking lot accidents occur more often than you may think because generally, people think there’s very little risk while driving slowly in a parking lot or pulling in or out of a parking space. When we feel over-confident, our guard goes down.
The weather in Colorado is a dream come true, mild seasons allow for outdoor activity throughout the year. We all love it. However, with all these beautiful, sunny days come the cyclists. With cyclists, come the preventable car accidents.
Today we’re going over how cyclists and motorists can share the road for everyone’s safety.
We hear a lot about the negative outcomes that occur due to drunk driving, but not as much about the very real impact of driving while under the influence of drugs, both legal prescription medication and illegal narcotics.
With Colorado being one of the first states to legalize marijuana use, this is becoming a more significant, problematic issue here. Finding out the exact numbers associated with drug-impaired drivers has proven difficult. However, we can tell you that the problem is significant and just like drunk driving, it isn’t going anywhere.
According to the CDC Injury Center, distracted drivers kill approximately nine people and injure over 1,000 people every day in the United States.
With numbers like this, it’s imperative that you stay focused and cognizant when you’re driving your vehicle. If you’re harmed in an auto accident due to the negligence of another driver, you have the right to seek compensation for a number of damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and more. Let Hull & Zimmerman prove that you were not at fault and that you deserve reparations.
Oftentimes when accidents occur the parties involved fall victim to adrenaline and shock. When this happens our bodies work in overdrive to stave off pain and rational thought. This can lead to the masking of injuries.
However, as days and weeks go by, injuries may start to show themselves. It may eventually sink in that the injured party should let the insurance company of the at-fault party know that there were, in fact, injuries sustained due to their insured’s negligence. But, is it too late?
Concussions have gotten some attention over the past years mainly because of an outpouring of NFL players who have come forward with brain injuries. These injuries have been proven to be caused by sustaining significant blows to the head forcing the NFL to reexamine their medical protocols and overall practicing methods.
Many people experience concussions without even knowing. These cases can be in children who are involved in contact sports, those involved in a forceful blow due to a car accident, those who work on construction sites and are injured by heavy machinery, and many more. If you endure a head injury leading to a concussion, it’s important to know your rights.
Car accidents are always scary, guaranteed. Even if it’s a minor one. So, as you can imagine when the accident involves three or more vehicles, the situation becomes even more high-stress.
The first thing you think about after a multi-vehicle accident is the damage it caused. Are you hurt? Did someone else get hurt? How’s my car? But once you’ve determined those facts, you’ll want to know who’s at fault.
