  • Car accident
    Choosing to text and drive has serious consequences. The most serious of these consequences is undoubtedly when the choice to text and drive results in an auto accident that causes the injury or death of the driver or another human being. Maybe a lawyer is simply driving from his or her home to the local grocery store in Farmington, Utah. Choosing to text and drive can turn that simple shopping trip in Farmington into a
  • Overturned car
    As far as single-vehicle crashes go, rollover crashes are some of the worst. While rollover crashes account for only three percent of serious crashes, rollover crashes account for 33 percent of auto accident fatalities. While larger vehicles such as pickup trucks, SUVs and vans are notorious for their tendency to roll over, any vehicle is at risk of a rollover crash — even compact cars and sedans. When it comes to rollover crash safety, not
  • Money
    While the results of an auto accident caused by texting and driving can emotionally affect the individuals involved, the aftermath of a texting and driving auto accident can also have dramatic financial consequences. Federal Government  The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that distracted driving costs the United States $175 billion a year. That’s an average of $148 per United States citizen. Additionally, the National Safety Council calculates that $43 billion of that amount comes
  • Firearm Safety
    Firearm ownership has been quite the hot topic in the news lately, with numerous mass shootings occurring over the last few years. Certainly, there is a need for those who own a gun to know how to properly handle it. There have been many wrongful death cases in situations in which the person responsible did not know how to handle his or her firearm, or was not practicing proper firearm tactics when firing the gun.
  • Texting and Driving
    Texting and driving: From Salt Lake City to the West Coast, everyone does it, right? Wrong. Okay, but what about teenagers? Aren’t they more guilty of texting and driving than almost everybody? Wrong again — although teenagers definitely contribute to the problem. Recent research indicates that older, wealthier men — typically those with a college degree — are the most likely to text and drive. Statistically, this demographic is 10 percent more likely to text
  • Camper or RV
    The sun’s out and the weather’s getting warmer — it’s almost time to take your family or friends camping. Camping can be a tricky thing if you haven’t done it before, as it requires skill, equipment and a knowledge of camping safety practices. Many camping accidents have resulted in unfortunate wrongful death situations, and even the involvement of a lawyer, just because campers neglected to take the proper precautions. So before you head out of
  • Texting and Driving
    According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 31 percent of U.S. drivers ages 18–64 admit to texting or emailing while driving within the past 30 days. While taking a second to check that email or text message might seem innocuous, texting while driving is a major contributor to auto accident injuries and fatalities around the nation. Whether you’re driving back home to Provo, Utah or just taking a quick trip to meet your
  • Texting and Driving
    An auto accident caused by texting and driving results in more than just emotional damage to the individuals involved. Texting and driving can put a huge dent in the wallet of a distracted driver. Costs of traffic fines and penalties vary from state to state, and a driver in Salt Lake City may pay more than a driver in the Empire State. Hiring a lawyer, on the other hand, is expensive no matter where you
  • Texting and Driving
    You know the symptoms: Texting and driving. Steering with one hand and a cigarette/soda/hamburger in the other. Snapchatting. These are all examples of distracted driving; however, what if we told you that there was a whole other group of behaviors that qualify as distracted driving — even behaviors you didn’t realize you do every day? From interacting with a toddler in the backseat to searching for the last French fry in the bag on your
  • Bicycle Safety
    Riding a bicycle on the streets of Salt Lake City is a bit like being a second-class citizen in the United States. The infrastructure, old and well established, was never built with you in mind. Now accommodations have been made for you, bike lanes added, green share-arrows painted on the streets, and legally, you have equal rights — but the experience of riding on that pavement is anything but equal. Traditionally, bicyclists and motorists have
  • Texting and Driving
    When you think of the phrase “texting and driving,” what comes to mind? Do you envision a car full of teenagers driving at 90 mph down the Salt Lake City freeway, carelessly trading text messages with the group of friends driving behind them? Or do you immediately imagine an auto accident involving several cars, with the driver responsible frantically calling his or her lawyer? We hate to be the bearers of bad news, but texting
  • Construction
    The fines for speeding tickets are already incredibly high; however, these fines can double in work or construction zones. Encountering road construction while driving is inevitable, whether you’re leaving a conference in Provo, Utah or headed to an important meeting with your lawyer in downtown Salt Lake. As a driver, what can you do to prevent not only being pulled over for speeding, but being involved in an auto accident in a work zone? Slow
