Do I have any legal recourse after an auto accident if I was not seriously injured?
Question: Do I have any legal recourse in an auto accident if I was not injured? I am a truck driver involved in an accident in a company truck. The other driver admitted to being at fault along with two witnesses that stated it was his fault. He had minor injuries and was taken to the hospital. I had a stiff neck for a few days, but did not seek medical attention. I was laid off a week later. I had a clean driving record until this happened. Now I'm having a hard time getting driving jobs because of this accident. Do I have any legal recourse against the other driver from this accident?
Here are another 12 wrong-way interstate highway driver accidents in the news. This group includes wrong-way driving events from the following states: Connecticut (intoxicated driver); Alabama (driver being sought); Texas (
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.
More wrong-way interstate highway accidents to report. This wrong-way events described in this post have mostly alcohol related causes although three other causes including an apparent suicide, mental illness and an elderly driver are in the mix. Still the predominant cause remains driving while impaired by alcohol.
I've been covering wrong-way interstate highway accidents for several years now. Today's post is a reminder of the causes, prevention measures you can take and how to recognize when you may be heading towards a driver going the wrong-way on the interstate highways in your state. 
What’s going on in Iowa courts? That depends on what you read and who you talk with. There are many different cases of interest from the Heartland. There is one I just couldn’t help but report about.
Again we have multiple reports across the United States of wrong-way drivers on the Interstate Highway system. Most are drunken drivers. That’s the number one cause. Suggesting new or different signs isn’t the answer to correcting the problem. After all drunks aren’t prone to read because they aren’t thinking clearly. Taking away the drunk’s license isn’t helping. Instead we probably need to think outside the box and take away their right to buy alcohol. That’s right; take away their keys to the bar, the liquor store and the grocery store. How? Make everyone’s driver’s license scannable with a bar code and when the drunk get’s a DUI or DWI restrict their license making it illegal to sell them booze. Will it work? Who knows, we won’t know until we try it. What we do know is that it’s not working with what we are doing and it’s all costing us an arm and a leg.
Today we have several wrong-way collisions from around the nation. These are the scariest accidents to avoid because death is almost a certainty. These accidents are at high speeds and usually with a drunken driver.
Another wrong-way collision day at 
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...
Let's conclude this series on wrong-way drivers till another day. I've covered it now for over a week and although there are many more wrong-way reports, it's time to move on. Below the fold is the summary and that's what is essential to understand why it's occurring. I'm hopeful Judges who are required to sentence wrong-way drivers can draw from this research and it will allow them to better effect public policy through sentencing. Of course I'm always available to discuss my conclusions.
This week we are covering wrong-way collisions on the U.S. Interstate Highways. Monday's post listed the why's, how's and when about wrong-way collisions. If you're interested in reading conclusions go to 
Here are the wrong-way accidents I found over the period of time in the title. To see a list of how to stay safe from these drivers click on this title: 
As surprised as I was when first reading wrong-way collision incidents the more interested in why they occur I became. By far the leading cause is driving while under the influence of alcohol. I like driving in the interstate highway system so the likelihood of a wrong-way driver coming towards me became an obsessive challenge. Staying safe and recognizing how to avoid a wrong-way interstate highway collision is why I've read hundreds of the reports about them. Today we have more and in each I've summarized my findings. This is a month period at the end of 2009. It wasn't a very prolific period, but one is too many.
Normally I stay away from what can be considered boastful statements, but in this instance I'll break that rule. I’ve read more wrong-way accident news reports than anybody in the United States, maybe the world. I’ve studied them for over three years. Over the next week I'll post a compendium of wrong-way accidents for an extended period of time. In Germany these accidents are referred to as Ghost riders. Let's define what we mean by wrong-way drivers. A wrong-way driver is one driving the wrong way on the interstate or any divided highway and it includes the on and off ramps. An example would be a northbound driver in the southbound lanes of travel. As you can well imagine the consequences of a head-on crash between two vehicles running at 70 mph is deadly. I'm going to dig up my old posts and repost them this week so you can have the benefit of proof. Here are my findings. 
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!
