Delivery Rooms no Longer Welcoming their Close Up

The birth of a child is the most amazing day of a parent’s life. There are no words to describe the feeling of witnessing your child being born and setting your eyes upon them for the first time.

Because of this, parents have been photographing and recording the birth of their children for years. A video or photograph can capture this momentous occasion in a way that words never will.

Sadly, many parents may never have the joy of reliving this joyous occasion. A disturbing trend is sweeping the country that seeks to bar parents from recording video or taking pictures during their child’s birth.

Fountain Girl is No Longer a Laughing Matter

If you have been online or have watched TV lately, you have more than likely saw the video of a young woman falling face first into a fountain while texting. The video went viral over night; it should have, it was funny!

In this one short video you not only have the slapstick humor of someone falling (harmlessly into a public fountain, but also have a pretty accurate illustration of our current society. A society so attached to our cell phones and their constant distractions that we sometimes forget about the simple things – like walking.

More than anything, it was just plain harmless comedy.

Well guess what? The young lady isn’t laughing and, along with her lawyer, has decided to make a mockery of our justice system by attempting to sue the mall and its security guards.

The Promises We Make...To Ourselves

Every January, millions of people take the New Year as an opportunity to make changes in their life. I look at New Year’s resolutions as promises we make to ourselves to better ourselves in the new year. These promises can often span many different areas of your life and vary from person to person. Although they can touch on different goals and aspects of a person’s life, resolutions are unified by the simple theme of becoming a better person and improving our life.

Thanks to Everyone for Another Great Year

Taking time to reflect on the past, present and future

As another year draws to a close, I find this a great time to reflect on the past 12 months, as well as look forward to 2011.

From car wrecks and product liability cases to daycare abuse and catastrophic birth injuries, we have been hard at work fighting for our clients’ justice and rights, securing well deserved settlements and verdicts, as well as holding individuals, businesses and companies accountable for their actions.

You Can't Always Predict an Accident, but You Can Prepare for One

Much of the content and information we publish on our sites, in our newsletters and on Facebook and Twitter is geared toward accident prevention. Whether it is about safe driving, choosing the correct nursing home, or recognizing the early signs of daycare abuse, it’s about prevention.

Think Before You Tweet!

As an attorney, I can’t stress enough the need for individuals to be extremely careful with what they are sharing online. Many of us have heard the horror stories of relationships and careers ending because of questionable status updates and Tweets. Add to that the obvious privacy concerns with sharing information online and common sense would say to keep as much of your private life just that, private.

Advocates NOT Ambulance Chasers

When a person is killed by a defective or dangerous product, or they lose a loved one because of another person’s negligence or malpractice, they come to a personal injury attorney. They come to us because they deserve to have somebody there to protect their rights – and that will not be the insurance company.

I can say this because I was on the other side. I used to defend the companies and insurance agencies that I now protect my clients from. The difference between now and then is that now I am on the right side of the fight, representing those who deserve a voice and an advocate for their rights.
