Q&A: What can I do if I am caught driving without a license again?
Question: What can I do if I am caught driving without a license again? I was in an accident; I do not have a license. Took a chance to get back and work. I have been caught before and this will make it my third felony driving while suspended. The ticket written was only for not providing a license, what can I do?
Answer: Okay hotshot let’s get real here. What you say doesn't make sense: there is no charge of felony driving while suspended, so I'm guessing there is more going on than you've alluded to. Otherwise, the answer to your question will depend upon the reason you don't have a license in the first place. Are you suspended or barred? Why are you suspended or barred? What happened the prior times you were arrested? What else is in your criminal history? Are you on probation or parole? Depending upon the answers to those questions you could be looking at a very minimal fine or as much as prison, and additional license suspensions.
And one more thing, stop making excuses for criminal behavior. You said, "Took a chance to get back and work." What does that mean? I suspect the devil is in the details behind that statement. Where were you driving to? Huh? Cat got your tongue? The judges aren't stupid, you think the prosecutor is going to be played that easily? You didn't say you were heading to work so throwing that tidbit in won't get you to first base.
The fact is you just struck out.

Question: Do I have a case against the car manufacturer for airbags that did not deploy? I was in a accident where my vehicle was struck in the rear, my passenger side air bag deployed and the driver’s side air bag did not. I had nothing sitting in the seat on the passenger side of the vehicle. I was going 60 MPH when I was struck by a vehicle going 95+. My vehicle then struck the dividing barrier on the driver’s side. (Referring to 2nd generation air bags)
Hancock County, Iowa - I’ve been reading about these accidents and one guy has a blog dedicated to accidents where trailers become unhitched and crash into other cars, trucks or motorcycles. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen one in Iowa, right up until this week, that is. It happened on December 5, 2011 at around 5:58 a.m. on Highway 18 about 2 miles west of Garner. A 2000 Peterbuilt semitruck pulling a trailer (driver shown on police report as being from Garner, Iowa – 38 years old) was westbound on Highway 18 when as the officer describes it, “VEHICLE 1 (THE SEMI ) WAS WESTBOUND ON HWY 18 WHEN ITS TRAILER BECAME DETACHED FROM THE TRACTOR THE TRAILER THEN SLID ACROSS THE CENTER LINE AND STRUCK THE EASTBOUND VEHICLE 2 HEAD ON.”
To answer that question let’s look at some of the recent accidental deaths while on the job.

Here is a trial tip: The lawyer with an intersection collision case should get a copy of the video from the intersection traffic camera. Which means we have to learn where these cameras are located. As for clients who are in an intersection collision it’s better to get a lawyer onboard sooner rather than later. This is also a reason for the lawyers to get out to visit the accident scene. You just never know where a camera may be recording the events. The camera may be on a nearby building used as a security camera.

Today we are covering several more wrong-way collisions, drivers, events and incidents on our nation's interstate highways. I've been following these for several years hoping to make people more aware of how they occur and more importantly how to avoid being a wrong-way driver. If you get clobbered by one it's likely you will be seriously injured or even killed. So knowing how to avoid them is equally important. I post more of these than I really would like to be writing about, but it is what it is so here are more news stories telling us all about wrong-way drivers across the United States. At the end in the footer I’ll list my suggestions on how to avoid wrong-way drivers and how to avoid being a wrong-way driver. Enough said; if you’re injured by one give me a call and we can talk about your legal rights. Onward we march...

Today in the email bag was a question and although it’s a bit before 7:00 a.m. as I’m trying to understand what the person is asking me I have to wonder if I’m 30-years younger and going through the experience of once again being a 1-L. A 1-L is how we refer to first year law students. 
That's the sound of your $$ in the insurance adjuster's pocket. To the insurance industry it's called promoting the float. The float is the money they keep while you wait. It's insurance wealth that belongs to you, but insurance uses it during the delay that they create. Ka-chingggggggggggg!!! Thanks!
