Texting and Driving is becoming a deadly epidemic. This inattention to the road is causing car accidents all over the nation. I submit it’s becoming an epidemic in Cincinnati. How many times have you seen someone texting and driving?
This is not meant to minimize the use of cell phones while driving. This is as dangerous. Especiallly the dialing piece . Again your eyes are taken off the road. It only takes a split second for you to be killed or seriously injured, or worse kill or injure someone else.
Just in the news was the sad story of David Muslovski who had been hit by a 19-year-old driver who was texting while driving.
David Muslovski suffered a massive hemorrhage from severely fractured pelvis and lacerated liver. He was dead in two hours. A life needlessly snuffed out and two families forever changed.
Emergency room personal have noticed the increase in serious injury from driving and texting. The statisics are sobering. The NHTSB says 28% of all traffic crashes are caused by drivers who are using cell phones or texting while behind the wheel, which is 1.6 million accidents per year. And texters are keeping their eyes off the road for close to 5 seconds. To put that into perspective that’s the length of a football field at 55 mph.
That’s why I created a public service video about texting and driving .Pleas click on the link. There’s no blood and guts , just a plea to stop.
If you are injured in a car accident by someone talking on a cell phone or texting you can call me to help you get the compensation you deserve 1-800-447-6549

Awhile back you may have seen a video that I did about what motivates me to fight hard for my clients. (Confession of a Cincinnati personal injury lawyer. ) The bottom line was that I have a fear of failure. I know I’m not the smartest person out there, so my goal is to outwork and outprepare my opposition so my client’s have the best chance of winning their case. Face it, any trial lawyer that’s been practicing 29 years and has had thousands of cases is not going to win every time. But if this happens to you , you don’t want to look back and say you did not give 100%. The only thing that keeps from haunting you is the knowledge that you fought with all your heart and prepared with all your strength.
The confidence to go into a courtroom and do battle comes from hard work and preparation, weeks and months prior to the actual trial. So I was elated to watch Jerry Rice’s speech he gave uopn his induction in the football Hall of Fame. He said, ” I wasn’t the fastest reciever, but the reason no one caught me from behind is because I ran scared. That old fear of failure again.”
Watch Jerry’s speech.

As a Cincinnati attorney with a focus on car accidents workers comp and social security disability claims I am often asked what does it take to win a social security disability application. I author a blog titled Social Security disability attorney Cincinnati. Social security disability tips and secrets from a Cincinnati social security disability attorney.
Some of the recent blog posts are: Do you need a social security disability attorney, How to win and not wait forever, 7 horrible mistakes social security disability claimants make.
Recently I looked back at a file on a disability claim I won for a 42 year old soldier. The first half of the file was what social security gathered. However they stopped gathering evidence when the case gets to the Judges’ office. The rest of the medical records, the key evidence in the case , over 200 pages was developed by me.
Its critical to get the hospital and doctor’s records and reports that support your case. Your word alone without the necessary evidence will never be enough. So one of the things I do to help ensure a victory for the social security disability claimant is track down all the medical evidence. And if necessary ask for specific reports from the doctors that answer specific questions .

Everyone has seen local and national attorneys advertise on television. In fact there are often 2- 3 different lawyers that advertise on the same show. How would you go about choosing which of these attorneys is rigtht for your car accident case, your workers compensation case or your social security disability case. I’m sure I’ve left an area of the law out because just about every area gets covered.
It’s really very difficult to detemine in a thirty second commercial if the attorney is any good at all at accident injury law. Usually they shout to get your attention and tell you what? They use words like aggressive , experienced, lawyers you can trust. I love it when someone says let me be perfectly frank. That implies that most of the time they are not frank. And I put my hands on my wallet when someone says you can trust me.
What you really need to know takes a little bit of time to find out. But its not that difficult, especially with web sites. You want to know : What settlements and verdicts have they obtained. How often have they handled a case similar to yours. Are they AV rated by Martindale Hubbel, a peer review rating system and the highest rating possible. What do former clients say about them. Are there testimonials on their web site. Are they able and willing to advance the costs of litigation. Will they be the attorney to handle your case or will you be pawned off on a junior associate. Do they provide educational materials on their web site. Do they have educational videos so you can get a sense whether they are a passionate advocate or a boring drone.
SoI submit maybe that TV attorney is a good one , but a 30 second commercial won’t give you much help.

If you have been hurt on the job by a third party you may be able to bring claims for workers compensation and a claim against the person that hurt you . If you are so ill or injured that you can not work for one year you may have a social security claim. Here are 5 good reasons to find one lawyer that can handle all three claims.
1. A separate car accident lawyer, a workers compensation lawyer and a disability attorney all have experience in a compartmentalized area of the law. Hiring an attorney that handles all of these case will help you coordinatebenefits.
2. One attorney knows all the information evidence being created in each case and can manage the eveidence more effectively so it does not impact negatively on the other cases. They can use positive evidenc in one case to help the other cases.
3. All of these area of law have interrelated pitfalls. An attorney experienced in these area can avoid these pitfalls. For instance workers compensation is going to want their money back from your car accident case. your attorney must know the formula and how to negotiate with the bureau of workers compensation.
4. You only have to deal with one attorney to answer your question and work with you on all three cases saving you time
5. By coordinating all of the benefits one attorney should be able to maximize all the benefits you are entitled to from your injury accident accident, your workers compensation case and your social security disability claim.

Personal injury victims do not give big insurance all of your medical records. When you bring a claim for bodily injury the insurance company will want you to sign a release to get your medical records. All of your medical records whether related to your claim or not. They are fishing for evidence against you and will not stop at records they are allowed to get.
Your medical records are privileged and are protected by statute in Ohio. The only records the insurance company are entitled to are those related historically or causally to the instant injuries. This means they can get any records from your past if the relate to the same body part that you are claiming injury for.
In the case of Mason v Booker the insurance lawyer wanted all the records from a hospital where Ms Mason had been treated. The court stated they only get those records that relate to the current injury. How this is determined is that the judge looks at the records in private and makes the determination.
So just rember your life is not an open book when you bring a lawsuit. Don’t sign the insurance company authorization that allows them to get everything or you will have given up your rights. Let your own accident injury attorney get all the records anf if their is nothing in there of a personal or embarrassing nature you then can decide if youu want to let the insurance company review all the records.
So just because you were treated at an emergency room for the injury doesn’t mean they get all your records. Though many insurance laywers will try to get things they are not entitled to. Don’t let them intimidate you. After all it was their insured that hurt you.

Harley Davidson of Cincinnati held its open house last Saturday. It was great to see the mix of people enjoying the motorcycles , the booths and vendors and the Dallas Moore band. They had food on the grill and a tented area where you could sit and relax , eat and enjoy the music.
There was everything form space age energy bracelets to decked out mortorcycle caskets. I do have do say that was a bit unusual. Every time I go to a motorcyle biker event I’m blown away by the friendliness of the people and the camaraderie that exists in the biker community. Surprisingly the only thing I did not see was a tatoo booth. Of course tatoos have now gone mainstream though I’m not ready to take the plunge.
Powder Keg Harley Davidson Motorcycle has its bike nights throughout the summer on Friday nights. This Friday I plan to run up there to enjoy the evening and see what their bike nights are all about. Sure its great to hop on my Harley Lowrider and enjoy the ride. That’s what its all about. But the added benefit of the comraderie and social activities and charity runs of the motorcycle community make motorcycling all the more fun.
So far this year my wife and I have been to the bikers ball, The Iron Samaritan’s biker blessing, the Clermont county Motorcycle accident safety event and the Harley Davidson open house. I usually take some Watch for Motorcycles bumper stickers with me as motorcycle safety awareness for bikers as well as car owners continue to be a focus for me. I offer them free to anyone willing to display it. If you would like one just give me a shout. Right now I represent five motorcycle riders for significant motorcycle injury. These accidents were all the fault of car drivers. So its important that we raise the cager’s awareness.
