What to do After a Dog Attack
There are nearly 90 million dogs in the U.S., and any dog can bite, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AMVA). Statistics show that more than 4.5 million people are bitten by dogs every year, with children as the most common victims and the most likely to be seriously injured. Florida was one of the top ten states reporting dog bites in 2021. It is important to know what to do in case a dog attacks you or your child.
Car Accident Photos 101
After an automobile collision that was someone else’s fault, the first priority is to get emergency medical attention for any serious injuries. If you are able, it is important to collect as much evidence as possible to support a claim for compensation. The evidence you gather at the scene can help show how the wreck occurred and who is responsible. Crash evidence is typically moved off the road as soon as possible, and vital evidence could be lost. It is critical to take as many detailed photos of the accident scene as you can.
Truck Braking Best Practices That Keep Us Safe
Truck drivers should never rely on their brakes alone to slow them down on a long, downhill slope. When they do so, it can lead to brake failure and preventable accidents. Semi-trucks are long, heavy, and wide, and the loads they are hauling only add to their instability. Using the brakes too much, instead of relying on the braking effect of the engine, can create excessive heat that causes the brakes to fade or fail. This mistake, often made by inexperienced truck drivers, can lead to deadly crashes that cause serious, catastrophic, or fatal injuries to others on the road.
