If You Suffered a Slip and Fall Injury at a West Virginia Job, Call a Worker’s Compensation Lawyer

May 3, 2012 at 5:18 pm · Filed under Defective Product Cases ·Tagged ,

It can be hard to admit when you’ve been injured at work, particularly if it’s a slow-developing injury or one that’s not too common. Injuries that are clearly very serious-such as a spinal cord injury or fall from a ladder broken back on a construction site job, brain injury from a company car accident or a bad burn from a restaurant job or working with toxic chemicals-are usually attended to immediately, often requiring an ambulance and sometimes hospitalization.

At Recht Law Offices, the Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia workers compensation lawyers know it’s all too easy for loyal, hard-working employees to be stoic and not complain about pain, especially when it’s from gradually worsening type of injury. These injuries can be equally debilitating and are often musculoskeletal, requiring longer rehabilitation than more immediately severe injuries, and can mean months of physical therapy or occupational therapy for full recovery.
If you or someone you love was injured at work, or if you lost a loved one, in a wrongful death job accident, you need the aggressive legal representation of Ohio, Pennsylvania or West Virginia personal injury lawyers Recht Law Office.

Serious accidents often caused by texting drivers in Texas

November 10, 2011 at 2:13 pm · Filed under Defective Product Cases

Texas takes a tough stand on texting while driving. In the Lone Star state, school bus drivers cannot text or use a cell phone while driving under state law. Individual cities like El Paso also have laws restricting the use of cell phones while driving. There’s a reason why Texas and many other states place restrictions on drivers using cell phones. Texting and other activities severely impair a driver’s ability to safely operate a vehicle. A recent scientific study provides supporting evidence. Specifically, the study conducted by the Texas Transportation Institute discovered that drivers react twice as slow while texting.

Results from the recent study conducted by the Texas Transportation Institute revealed some shocking statistics. Using a closed road, the scientific test involved drivers attempting to read or write a text message while driving on an open road and a section of roadway lined with construction barrels. Throughout the test, drivers who were texting reacted much slower than the test subjects who were not texting. “It is frightening,” the researchers wrote, “to think of how much more poorly our participants may have performed if the driving conditions were more consistent with routine driving.”

Teen drivers killed 233 in Georgia in one year. Which time of year is the deadliest?

July 30, 2011 at 4:14 pm · Filed under Defective Product Cases

Teenage drivers kill thousands of people every year. For every mile driven by an adult, a teenager driver 16 to 19 years old is four times more likely to get into a car accident, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And while any time of year can be dangerous on the road, teens are more likely to be involved in an auto accident in the summer. A recent study of accident statistics discovered that more deadly auto accidents involving teenage drivers happen between Memorial Day and Labor Day than any other time of year.
