• Harrisburg Lawyer 16.03.2012 Comments Off on By LawWireNews Detroit, Michigan Dog Bite Injuries Can Include Dog Bite Fatalities

    We’ve all been there. Strolling down the road, enjoying a nice afternoon when a dog suddenly comes running down the sidewalk toward us, barking and angry. Or during a bike ride, a dog lunges out from behind a car, snarling and nipping at our heels. Runners encounter dogs all the time, and though most situations don’t become a case of dog bite injuries, some do and every year, in fact, dog bite occur.

    The statistics are surprising and, considering that there are dogs in every neighborhood across the country, they’re downright scary as well. In 2010 there were 34 dog attack fatalities and there are over 350,000 dog bite victims each year, with approximately 800,000 requiring some type of medical attention. According to the Centers for Disease Control, between 2001 and 2003 there were 4.5 million dog bite victims per year.

  • Tulsa Lawyers 02.03.2012 Comments Off on Legal News Why Are So Many Attorneys Wanna-Be Web Gurus? 3 2 2

    Get this: Only about 1 in 20 law firms have their websites professionally managed. The other 95% have a site built, then decide they’ll somehow make it searchable but they have no clue what they’re doing, so their big investment starts collecting cyber dust like a box of brochures on a shelf. See: Websites For Lawyers

    I know, I know-your firm doesn’t need site-management help because you’re good with Google, your paralegal made a site for a friend once and your admin likes blogging. Hell, for that matter, why not have your dentist handle depositions and the mailman can take your place in court? Eventually you’ll panic, hire a bunch of piece-meal vendors to try to keep it afloat and then waste time trying to manage them.

    If you want high search rankings, you need a proven site-management company with the expertise, dogged mindset and dedicated hours to systematically keep your site in step with Google’s constant algorithm changes. (Admit it-you don’t even know what that means, do you?)

  • Philadelphia Lawyers 27.01.2012 Comments Off on Legal News Philadelphia Personal Injury Lawyer Reacts To Alarming Study About Teen Car Accidents

    Teenagers have the highest car accident rate of any group in the United States, and a recent study reveals just how dangerous new teenager drivers can be.

    Philadelphia accident attorney Flager and Yockey urges parents of teen drivers to take note of a study by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. Researchers found that teen drivers are about 50 percent more likely to crash in the first month of driving than they are after a full year of experience driving on their own. Furthermore, the young drivers are nearly twice as likely to become involved in an auto accident as they are after two full years of experience, according to the study.

    At the Law Offices of Flager Yockey, the personal injury lawyers in Philadelphia, PA., have seen the impact of serious car accidents first-hand. A car accident involving a teen-ager can be particularly traumatic, and result in significant losses, both emotional and financial. According to information on the law firm’s website, www.flageryockey.com , there are more than 30,000 fatal car accidents and millions of injuries due to car wrecks each year in the United States.

  • Philadelphia Lawyers 06.01.2012 Comments Off on Law News What you should know about personal injury lawyers and the Penn State child sexual abuse case

    Child sexual abuse ranks among the most horrific of all crimes. When allegations of child sexual assault surfaced at Penn State University, many in Pennsylvania were shocked. Jerry Sandusky, an once revered assistant football coach, was charged with abusing eight boys over a 15-year time period. Sandusky denied the charges, but said he did shower with the boys.

    While Sandusky is innocent until proven guilty, in general child predators who are convicted tend to receive lengthy prison sentences. For the victims, the assault may cause deep psychological trauma in addition to physical injuries. While no amount of money can truly undo the damage of a sexual assault, victims may need compensation for real financial losses.
