Drivers Delaying Maintenance Increase Safety Risks

Posted on December 20, 2011 by admin

According to recent research conducted by Consumer Reports, about forty percent of drivers are said to have opted to delaying repairs and car maintenance decisions due to financial constraints, exposing themselves to potentially increased safety risks.

Among the reasons why it is a problem to delay important maintenance and repair decisions for a vehicle is the increased safety risks associated with such decisions as well as the increased costs incurred to fix the problem down the line. Respondent claimed to have delayed important servicing items decisions such as lightbulb, brakes, tires, along with a variety of other internal mechanical components.

Also of importance is the inevitable decrease in the value of the vehicle due to such delays. About 44 percent of respondents claimed to have felt the value and the safety of their vehicle decrease as a result of these delayed decisions.

The average owner has 78,000 miles on their vehicles, which represents an extremely important safety milestone requiring major maintenance.

As a personal injury lawyer Los Angeles, I deeply appreciate ongoing efforts to ensure that our roads are safer for all who travel on them. For your safety as well as the safety of others, do not postpone major vehicle maintenance decisions as it may lead to dangerous consequences. As a Los Angeles car accident lawyer, I hope that the conclusions of the research will lead to safer roads and safer driving habits amongst motorists.

E&B Girftware Agrees To $550,000 Civil Penalty For Defective Product

Posted on December 20, 2011 by admin

According to news sources, the company E&B Giftware has reached a settlement agreement with The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in which the former has agreed to pay a civil penalty totaling $550,000 for failing to report a defective fitness ball product.

The company subsidiary, EB Brands, reportedly knew of about 25 incidents starting in 2007 that were related to its defective fitness balls. The fitness balls would reportedly burst when overinflated by a consumer, posing a potential bruise and injury hazard. Only by October 2008 did the company report the incidents to the CPSC, with the total number of incidents by then reaching 44 cases, with some resulting in injuries to consumers.

The defective product was recalled from the market in April 2009, with the company selling about three million of the fitness balls in the period between March 2000 through February 2009.

Companies are required under federal law to report any information pertaining to a defective product to the CPSC within 24 hours of acquiring the information.

As a Los Angeles personal injury attorney, I understand the inherent dangers of defective products and the risks they entail. I hope this information can help raise awareness about this recalled product and keep consumers safe. If you or a loved one has been injured through the use or consumption of a defective product, speak with a Los Angeles product liability lawyer to learn about the legal options available to you.

Teen Loses Control After Attempting To Pass Semi-Truck

Posted on December 20, 2011 by admin

According to several local news sources, an unfortunate accident sent two teens from Franklin County to the Hospital last Saturday. The official reports from the Washington State Patrol revealed that a 16-year-old was driving a Honda Accord on the southbound lanes of Highway 17 when he attempted to pass a semi-truck but unfortunately lost control of his vehicle.

The Accord went off the road to the northbound shoulder, rolled down and it came to rest on its wheels. According to the authorities, the teens were wearing their seatbelts.

The accident happened some time around 3 in the afternoon just northwest of Connell. The road conditions and the speeding along with the inattention of the teen behind the wheel caused the crash, a Washington State Patrol officer said.

As a Seattle car accident lawyer I’m certain that the lives of the teens involved in this accident were spared because they were using their seat belts properly. I urge all readers to remember that vehicular safety devices are designed for you and your loved ones so no one will be harmed if an accident happens.

Whenever you or a loved one is involved in an accident caused by the inattention or recklessness of another driver, contact a personal injury lawyer in your area as soon as you can. The fester you act, the faster a proficient lawyer can assist you with your case.
