Want to prevent a
personal injury while sitting behind the wheel? Driving Schools tells students in their first lesson: Be careful about other drivers. Being a good driver alone is simply not enough. Take a look at this Maryland driver who recently got hit while waiting at a Stop sign. Another vehicle, operated by a person taking Lyrica medication, swerved across the road median, two lanes, a front yard and a curb, and hit the idle car. Fortunately, this
personal injury victim sued the opposing driver -- and won compensation -- for medical expenses and personal injuries, which included shoulder and neck injuries (
details here). On a related note,
California recently passed a law prohibiting drivers from sending or receiving SMS Text messages while driving. Hopefully, this will reduce the number of
car accidents and other personal injuries caused by car accidents in which drivers lack focus and driving concentration. New York personal injury lawyers and California law makers know well that car accidents can kill or seriously injure
pedestrians,
bicyclists, and other drivers. Let's do our best in 2009 to be responsible on the road.
