It’s a very good thing that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has declared October 15-21 National Teen Driver Safety Week. And while spooky season is upon us, lack of teen driver safety awareness could render this month truly frightening. That’s because (and we must be painfully honest) teen drivers are some of the most…
Winning a sizable settlement in a personal injury lawsuit is a great thing! At last, you have the long-awaited funds needed to get back on your feet, deal with medical expenses, pay overdue bills, and make up for lost wages. To help position you in a place to best manage your newly received cash, we’re answering some…
With winter on the horizon, and the growing likelihood of weather-related power outages or other issues causing stoplights to fail, it’s probably a good time to remind everyone of a basic traffic rule: You’re required to come to a complete stop for red lights, and (unless you’re making a right turn at intersections where that is allowed) you are…
As you probably know, September marks several special holidays and commemorative events. There’s Labor Day, of course, plus Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur… not to mention the autumnal equinox on September 23rd! But were you aware that the entire month of September is Child Passenger Safety Month? This observance aims to promote safe transportation practices and encourages proper child…
The leaves are still on the trees and many balmy days are yet to come this year, so it might seem just a bit too early to be talking about one of the many hazards of Michigan’s famed “winter wonderland.” But it’s important to know that slip-and-fall accidents – while perhaps more frequent once snow flies –…
Remember the surprise $400 check you probably received last year as a refund from the Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association? If you’re like most of us, that rebate felt like pretty good news at the time. Governor Whitmer, in announcing the windfall, said it was the result of changes to Michigan’s No-Fault insurance laws made in 2019 which were…
Let’s start out by saying that, as fellow citizens of the Motor City, we understand the “need for speed” and the adrenaline rush that comes with pushing a car hard through a turn, tires squealing for traction as they grip the asphalt. We get it when you simply have to gun the accelerator on that powerful muscle car you’ve been holding…
Content warning: this article contains descriptions of auto accidents and deaths that may be disturbing to some readers. You may be shocked to learn just how bad highway safety has become in Michigan over the past few years. Consider these disheartening statistics we’re quoting from recent Michigan State Police and WDIV news reports: Motorcyclist fatalities increased from 166 in 2021 to 173…
Content warning: this article contains language and video relating to auto accidents that may be disturbing to some readers. Say you’re approaching an intersection, there are no cars in front of you, and the light has just turned green. Looks like smooth sailing until – WHAM! – your car is slammed by someone speeding through the…
As you may have read in a recent article published here, Michigan enacted a new distracted driving law effective on June 30th. And while we applaud the intent of the new law, which is designed to discourage hand-held cell phone use while driving and to save innocent lives in the process, we’re disappointed in the weak…
The Michigan Supreme Court just changed the landscape of slip-and-fall (a.k.a. premises liability) cases in Michigan. Previously, slip-and-fall cases were almost impossible for plaintiffs to win based on what was called the “open and obvious doctrine.” However, Michiganders will now have a much higher likelihood to receive compensation for personal injuries caused by the negligence…
Think of this article as a small craft warning, because that’s exactly what it’s meant to be. Whether you love them or hate them, jet skis (also known as personal watercraft or PWCs) are some of the most dangerous vessels on Michigan waters. In fact, while jet skis represent only around 10 percent of all registered…
