Clint Eastwood Chrysler Super Bowl commercial about Detroit – It’s halftime in America

February 6th, 2012

I normally write an auto lawyers blog that discusses car accidents, truck accidents and the Michigan No-Fault Law (including in the past, some views from the legal trenches about how Chrysler has defended certain car accident injury cases). But I decided after last night to switch things up today.

In my post Super Bowl glow, I thought the Clint Eastwood commercial from Chrysler about Detroit was absolutely fantastic, and by far the best commercial in the Super Bowl.

It was a great ad to a great super bowl.

How mixing your professional life with your personal life could leave you — and your teen drivers — unprotected after a car accident

January 31st, 2012

Michigan insurance attorneys say dreaded ‘business-use’ exclusion in personal auto insurance policies may deny liability coverage if you or family member cause work-related crash

It may not seem like a big deal for you to use your personal car or truck on the job. Or to let your teen driver use the family car every day after-school or to drive to and from a summer job.

But if you or your teen driver causes an accident in either event,  it may be a huge problem.

Monroe, Michigan auto accident data and most dangerous intersections

January 28th, 2012

Car accident lawyer says Monroe County saw a 28 percent increase in auto accident fatalities and a 3 percent increase in crashes

From time to time, I write about cities in Michigan where our  car accident lawyers do a lot of work. The headlines about the spike in auto accidents and especially wrongful death cases last year was surprising.  Here are recently released statistics about Monroe County, Michigan auto accidents.

Between 2009 and 2010, there was unfortunately a 28 percent increase in fatal auto accidents. There was also a 3 percent hike in car crashes. Even though I practice in Monroe Circuit Court quite often, I don’t have an explanation yet as to why there was such a spike in auto accidents in Monroe last year.

What started as a local ad campaign to get drivers of Sussex, England to wear their seat belts, has gone viral and is now hopefully saving the lives of people around the world.  With close to 15 million hits on YouTube, “Embrace Life” turns our  attention to how seat belts save lives in car accidents, and of the tragedy caused by not wearing a seat belt.

Flint car accident lawyer highlights new crash data for Flint, Genesee County

January 14th, 2012

Latest numbers show decrease in the number of auto accidents, but increase in  car accident deaths

As Michigan accident lawyers, we’ve helped many people injured in auto accidents from Flint.  My first motion as a baby lawyer was in Flint nearly 20 years ago, so I always think of the Genesee County Courthouse warmly. Flint is somewhat unique, a combination of urban, suburban and even a little rural.

To help keep Flint drivers safe and give residents access to information and local statistics, our lawyers have published the Flint Auto Accident Lawyer Help Center.

Our Michigan brain injury lawyers are constantly learning and teaching other lawyers about new developments in the field of traumatic brain injury so we can better help our clients, many who also suffer from TBI from auto accidents.

I wanted to pass along  these new statistics from a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report on how common TBI is in the US, and who is most susceptible to brain injury.
