Motor Vehicle Accidents and Traumatic Brain Injuries

Posted on March 11, 2022

While there is a range of severity, Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) are common and serious injuries resulting from motor vehicle accidents. TBIs can jeopardize your health and well-being in addition to having a dramatic impact on your quality of life. If you have sustained head trauma in a motor vehicle accident, you should be aware of the possibility that you sustained a TBI and what this can mean for your personal injury claim.

Motor Vehicle Accidents and Traumatic Brain Injuries

In a motor vehicle accident, a driver or passenger is often pushed forward or sideways by the force of impact. This, in turn, can cause a person to hit their head on part of the car, such as the dashboard or window. Head trauma can lead to a closed TBI. While TBIs are not visible, they can be very serious. This can be especially troubling considering TBIs can go undiagnosed without proper monitoring.

You see, TBI symptoms do not always present immediately following an accident. In fact, symptoms can take days or even weeks to present. By then, the accident victim may not draw the connection between the symptoms and the crash. As a result, the injury victim may not get the medical care needed to address the TBI. Additionally, the TBI may be omitted from any personal injury claim the accident victim pursues.

Sustaining a TBI can have drastic consequences on a person’s life and omitting a TBI from a personal injury claim means that not only will the accident victim not be properly compensated for harm suffered as a result of the TBI, but the accident victim will be responsible for paying any costs associated with the TBI. This is a big reason why, following an accident, a person should be careful to monitor potential TBI symptoms and always notify their doctor should any TBI symptoms present, whether it be immediately following the accident or even weeks later.

To help you monitor potential TBI symptoms, here are some such symptoms you should be on the lookout for:

Clear fluid draining from ears or nose
Coordination difficulty
Depression
Dilated pupils
Difficulty walking
Excessive sleep
Irritability
Light sensitivity
Memory loss
Mood changes
Nausea
Personality changes
Seizures
Sound sensitivity
Trouble forming sentences or thoughts
Violent outbursts
Vomiting

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, be sure to report them sooner rather than later. You may be unsure as to what these symptoms may mean, but it is always best in these situations to be better safe than sorry. Talk to your doctor about any physical or behavioral changes you may be experiencing after suffering head trauma in an accident. Your doctor can document these things and also order neurological examinations and brain imaging scans to reveal any potential surface damage to the brain.

Talking to your doctor about your TBI symptoms will help ensure that your injury is properly documented in medical records to support your personal injury claim. It may also be a good idea to keep a journal documenting any symptoms you may be experiencing as well as any impacts your TBI may be having on your life. This can all go to substantiating your personal injury damages claim as well as helping your doctor properly diagnose you.

The Dangers of Speeding

Posted on February 15, 2022

We’ve all either been the driver or been near the driver that is going too fast down a road or interstate. Whether impatient, running late, or some other reason, speeding drivers are commonplace. While we all may have gotten used to speeding or being around speeding vehicles, it remains a dangerous driving behavior. There are thousands of people dying each year due to speeding vehicles and these are all preventable tragedies.

The Dangers of Speeding

Speeding is illegal in every state. Going above the posted speed limit can land you in legal trouble, to be sure. There can also be serious, even fatal consequences of speeding. Speeding is particularly dangerous because it not only impairs a driver’s ability to control a vehicle and increases the time needed to effectively react to other things on the road, such as cars in front slowing down or stopping, but it also means that the force of impact should the speeding vehicle collide with something will be more severe and, therefore, more likely to cause serious injury or death.

There are many factors that have been considered to the persists and pervasiveness of speeding despite these apparent dangers. Traffic congestion, for instance, can quickly bring out the worst and most impatient sides of people causing them to overcompensate by slamming down on the gas pedal whenever possible. Running late for an appointment or meeting is also a commonly cited reason for speeding. The bottom line is that far too many of us are in a rush and will engage in dangerous driving behaviors, such as speeding, to get where we are going as fast as possible.

There are, however, a number of things we can do to help counteract our own inclination to speed as well as to guard ourselves against other drivers who are speeding. Should you find yourself often rushing when behind the wheel, make sure you give yourself extra time to get where you are going. Allow for enough time to travel to your appointments safely. If you are running late or might run late, reach out to the person you are meeting to inform them of this.

If you are on the road and encounter a speeding driver, as many of us are likely to do, give them as much space as possible. Remember that speeding can contribute to a driver losing control of their vehicle. Speeding also means that a driver will need more time to react to other cars reducing speeds or coming to a stop. You should also be sure to allow speeding drivers to pass you freely and safely. If you are in the left lane and there is a car going faster than you and wants to pass, move over as soon as you can do so safely and let them pass.

Drowsy Driving is Dangerous Driving

Posted on February 12, 2022

Thousands of people each year are killed or seriously injured due to drowsy drivers. Unfortunately, the unyielding demands of society have played a key role in accepting this dangerous driving behavior. In a world that does not allow for much pause, we are busier than ever. Being tired and making the long commute to work or school or various activities seems to not only be acceptable but seems to be the norm. As a result, we risk and lose thousands of lives each year at the hands of drowsy drivers. Clearly, something needs to be done, but what?

Drowsy Driving is Dangerous Driving

People are not getting the sleep they need. Whether it is the demands of work, kids, or just life in general, we are sacrificing our sleep as a result. Unfortunately, lack of proper sleep can have serious and lasting health consequences. Furthermore, it risks lives when a person engages in drowsy driving. What will really be most effective at combatting the drowsy driving problem that plagues the U.S. is for us to rethink our attitudes about drowsy driving. We need to not consider it as a necessary evil, but as a problem that needs to be addressed.

To avoid driving while drowsy, make sleep a priority. Your body will thank you. Other drivers will thank you. Experts recommend getting seven to eight hours of sleep per night. So, turn off your show a bit earlier, save your reading for another day, and get to bed in time to get the full amount of sleep your body needs and craves. If you have teens in your household, persist in making sure they are getting enough sleep as well. Did you know that the biology of teenagers demands more sleep? It’s true. Teenagers need more sleep and this places them at an increased risk of drowsy driving. Talk to your teens about avoiding driving unless they are well-rested.

Also, be aware of how other things you put into your body can exacerbate your drowsiness. Alcohol, for instance, can interact with sleepiness to increase drowsiness and impairment of your ability to safely operate a vehicle. Both prescription and over-the-counter medications can also cause drowsiness. Be sure to check the medication’s label to see if this is a potential side effect. If so, avoid driving after you take the medication. It can also be important to be aware of the body’s circadian rhythm. Did you know that there is a natural dip in the body’s circadian rhythm, the internal clock tasked with sleep regulation, between midnight and 6 a.m. as well as in the late afternoon? If you can avoid driving at these times, you may also be able to decrease your chances of drowsy driving.

The safety and well-being of ourselves and others needs to be a priority. We are all in this together. If you have been injured in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you deserve to be fully and fairly compensated.

Seat Belts—Why They are Necessary

Posted on February 9, 2022

The development of the modern seat belt, complete with lap and chest restraint, has been one of the biggest safety developments of modern times. Buckling up when you get in a vehicle is one of the best things you can do to keep yourself safe. Did you know that, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), seat belts saved approximately 14,955 lives in 2017 alone? So, take the time to buckle up if you are a driver or passenger in a vehicle. It just might end up saving your life.

Seat Belts—Why They are Necessary

Most Americans have been trained in practicing the good habit of seat belt use. In fact, the NHTSA reports that, in 2020, the national seat belt use rate sat at 90.3%. We are seeing more and more how critical seat belt use is to remain safe in a vehicle. Without seat belt use, vehicle drivers and passengers put themselves at needless risk of awful consequences such as being ejected from a vehicle upon impact with another car or object, a more likely than a non-fatal event. Wearing your seat belt can help keep you safe and secure inside a vehicle in the event of a crash.

In order to help ensure you are maximizing the effectiveness of a seat belt as a safety feature, proper fit and placement of a seat belt is key. The lap belt portion should be secured across the pelvis, running along your hips as opposed to your stomach. The shoulder belt portion should run across your rib cage, across the middle of your chest, away from your neck. Do not loop your arm through so that the shoulder belt portion of your seat belt rests behind your back or under your arm. This not only makes the seatbelt ineffective, but can pose its own unique dangers as well.

The fit of your seat belt also matters and, considering how important of a safety feature a properly fitting seat belt is, you should be sure to investigate seat belt fit whenever looking to buy a new vehicle. Talk to the auto dealer about seat belt fit and the options for seat belt adjustment. Should you need a roomier belt, ask if seat belt extenders are available from the manufacturer. Should you be in the market for an older or classic car model, you may find it only comes with a lap belt. Look into the option of having the vehicle retrofitted with the much safer seat belts that feature both a lap and shoulder restraint.

It really is amazing what safety features vehicles are equipped with these days. The airbag, for instance, has developed over time to be a great line of defense in the event of an auto collision. It is still important, however, to use your seat belt. In fact, did you know that airbags are specifically designed to work in tandem with seat belts? Airbags without seat belt use can not only be ineffective as a safety feature, but can also prove to be dangerous. The force of impact of an airbag can cause serious, and even fatal, injury to someone who is not using their seat belt.

Driving Under the Influence of Drugs

Posted on February 6, 2022

It is illegal in every state to operate a vehicle while under the influence of drugs. This does not just mean it is illegal to operate a vehicle while impaired by illegal drugs, but it also includes those for which you have a valid prescription or even those sold over the counter. If you are impaired by a substance, you are putting yourself and everyone else on the road at risk. That is why it is illegal. It is time to have a frank discussion about driving under the influence of drugs, the danger it poses, and the misconceptions that seem to follow this topic.

Driving Under the Influence of Drugs

Because drugs can have a variety of side effects, each drug can pose different dangers should a person under the influence of the substance choose to get behind the wheel of a vehicle. For instance, some prescription and over-the-counter medications can cause extreme dizziness or drowsiness in a person. Reviewing warning labels on the packages of these medications will even state that operating heavy machinery, including driving, should be avoided after use. Cocaine and methamphetamines have been found to make drivers more aggressive and reckless in their actions and maneuvers.

One of the biggest dangers comes from the lack of awareness a person can have regarding the impact a drug is having on them. It is a dangerous truth that impaired drivers are unable to accurately assess their level of impairment. To help keep everyone safe, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends living by the standard that if you feel different, you drive differently and should, therefore, avoid driving until you return to a more normal state of feeling.

We want to emphasize the point that even the use of legal drugs can still be illegal if it impairs your ability to drive safely and can still put yourself and others at risk should you choose to drive while under the influence. That means, despite marijuana being legalized in more and more states, driving while impaired by marijuana use is still illegal and still a risky driving behavior. Despite the seemingly persistent rumors that marijuana can make a person a better driver, several scientific studies reveal that this could not be further from the truth. Marijuana can impair motor skills and lane tracking as well as other cognitive functions.

The NHTSA reports that, between October and December of 2020, 56% of drivers who were involved in serious injury or fatal crashes tested positive for at least one drug. Help save lives and make the choice to avoid driving after drug use of any kind. Should use of a vehicle after drug use be unavoidable, find someone else to drive. Intervene when others attempt to operate a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol and always remember to wear a seatbelt.

Dangerous Driving Behaviors of Teens

Posted on January 17, 2022

If you have a teen in your life, you know that, as they are on the cusp of full-blown adulthood, their actions can run a wide range from devastatingly immature to wise beyond their years. The fluctuation in choices that teens are notorious for can make even the most laid-back parent or loved one fear for their teen’s well-being on the road. It is true that there are a number of dangerous driving behaviors associated with teens. These behaviors can lead to serious crashes, some fatal. To help us all stay safer on the roads, let’s take a look at some of the dangerous driving behaviors of teens and what can be done about them.

Dangerous Driving Behaviors of Teens

It may be no surprise to anyone, but one of the most dangerous and most common driving behaviors of teens is texting while driving. Texting takes a person’s attention and vision off of the road which can be an extremely dangerous combination. Despite texting while driving being a violation of the law in many states, the dangerous driving behavior persists, especially among the teen demographic. Teen drivers, put down your phone when you are driving. This could help you and everyone riding with you in your vehicle arrive safely at your destination.

It is a sad truth that teen passengers who feel unsafe in a vehicle with a driver who is not alert, such as one texting while driving, may not speak up about feeling unsafe. In fact, a significant portion of teens even feels unsafe riding with a parent behind the wheel. Teens, use your voice. If you are unsafe, let the driver know what they are doing to cause your unease. If you know one of your friends is not a trustworthy driver, do not get in the vehicle. It is not worth the tragic consequences that could occur.

To make matters worse, teen drivers frequently skip the use of seat belts. The importance of seatbelts really cannot be understated. Seatbelts are simply devices that cause minimal inconvenience at worst and will save a life at best. Teens, take a moment to properly fasten your seatbelt and make sure all of your passengers have done the same before heading out on the road.

Teens are also prone to packing in the passengers. Unfortunately, more passengers mean more distractions for the teen driver. There are more people to talk to and more people to look at. There are more excuses for taking eyes and focusing off of the road. All of this will increase the likelihood of a crash occurring. So, keep the passengers at a minimum. When you have passengers, speak up if they are being too distracting.

Speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol, and driving at night are also dangerous driving behaviors commonly engaged in by teens and are also leading causes of accidents for teen drivers. Follow posted speed limits. Never drink and drive. If you can avoid driving at night, do so. At the end of the day, it is just not worth the risk.

U Drive. U Text. U Pay. NHTSA’s Campaign Against Distracted Driving

Posted on January 17, 2022

Pennsylvania’s distracted driving law prohibits any driver from using a phone or other device to send, read, or write a text-based communication while his or her vehicle is in motion. It is a primary offense which means that law enforcement can pull someone over if there is a reasonable suspicion that the driver has been texting while driving. Other states list texting and driving as a secondary offense meaning they can only be ticketed for the offense if pulled over for a different traffic violation. There is a $50 fine, plus court costs and other fees, imposed in Pennsylvania for those convicted of distracted driving.

Despite 48 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands all passing legislation that makes it illegal to text while driving, the problem persists. People are dying or suffering serious injury as a result. We seem entangled in our phones at a level that we cannot somehow unravel ourselves from their hold on us. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), however, has not given up. It has launched the U Drive. U Text. U Pay. Campaign in an effort to combat the persistent threat posed by texting while driving.

U Drive. U Text. U Pay. NHTSA’s Campaign Against Distracted Driving

According to the NHTSA, it is estimated that over 26,000 people died in crashes involving distracted drivers from 2012 to 2019. In 2019 alone, there were 4,142 fatalities in distracted driver crashes. That means that 9% of the fatal crashes in 2019 involved distracted drivers.

Distracted driving can actually mean a variety of things, although texting has come to be the most notorious form it takes. Distracted driving can be anything that takes your attention away from the road and the task of driving. Talking, eating, applying makeup, maneuvering your navigation system, or even changing your radio station can all be seen as engaging in distracted driving. Texting while driving has been singled out as a particularly dangerous form of distracted driving due to the fact that it can take a driver’s eyes away from the road for such a significant amount of time, it takes the drivers mental attention and focus away from driving, and it is a habit that so many Americans seem unable to break.

While drivers from 16 to 24 years of age seem to be more likely to be distracted by electronic devices while driving, it seems as though many more of us are at risk of falling into this dangerous driving behavior and we are putting ourselves and others in danger on the roads as a result. To help combat the dangers of distracted driving, the NHTSA recommends some different safety tips. For instance, it is recommended that if a text needs your immediate attention, either to read or to send, then you should first pull over to a safe location and park your vehicle. Alternatively, you could have a passenger act as your “designated texter” and be tasked with handling all of your texting needs while you are driving. Should none of these arrangements work for you and you find yourself unable to resist the urge to look at your phone while driving, consider keeping your phone in your trunk for the ride.

Winter Road Accidents

Posted on January 17, 2022

Well, Pennsylvania, our winter season remains in full swing. Those of us who grew up here are more than familiar with how treacherous the roads can get this time of year. The ice, snow, and sleet make visibility difficult and wheel traction difficult to come by. The influx of holiday traffic can add to the hazards, especially when you consider how many visitors to the state may not be as familiar with icy winter driving as our residents usually are. Regardless of whether you have lived in Pennsylvania your whole life, are a newer transplant in the state, or will be coming for a family holiday here this winter, being aware and prepared for the dangers of winter driving that can lead to devastating accidents can help keep you and everyone else safe this winter season.

Winter Road Accidents

With ice and sleet commonly in the winter forecast, it is important to be aware of just how much your visibility on the road can be impaired by these conditions. Snow can stick to your windshield and make it difficult to see your surroundings as well. To help, always check to see that your wipers are in good condition and are fully operational. The defogger in your car should also be checked for functionality as should your headlights. This is all safety equipment that can help you see your surroundings and increase your own visibility to other cars out on the winter roads.

Icy and slippery roads are also a common occurrence in the wintertime. Snow tires and tire chains can help increase traction on these types of roads so prepare your vehicle tires accordingly. Should your car lose traction, you may end up hydroplaning. This can be extremely scary, but it is also important to keep a cool head about you. We know, easier said than done. That being said, staying calm and reacting accordingly can prevent things like your vehicle from rolling over. If you begin to hydroplane, turn into it as opposed to away from it. Do not slam down on your brakes right away. This is especially important if you do not have anti-lock brakes on your vehicle because it could cause your brakes to lock up. Once the vehicle is slowing down a bit, you may pump your brakes.

With hazardous road conditions on the horizon for the winter months, be mindful that one of the best things you can do is to avoid driving if inclement weather is in the forecast. Should driving be unavailable, plan out your route before you leave. Let someone know about what route you are taking so that they know where to look should you be stranded for any reason. You should also keep your gas tank full and your cell phone fully charged as well as keeping a winter emergency kit in your car.

What Are Pennsylvania’s Distracted Driving Laws?

Posted on October 6, 2021

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that distracted driving claimed 3,142 lives in 2019 alone. Far more people suffered injuries due to distracted driving on top of this staggering number of fatalities. States have finally realized just how dangerous distracted driving can be and enacted laws accordingly. Here, we will go through Pennsylvania’s distracted driving laws.

What Are Pennsylvania’s Distracted Driving Laws?

Driving while distracted means that a driver has taken their full attention away from the road, whether it be eyes, hands, or mental focus. Common driver distractions include:

Eating and drinking
Smoking
Adjusting music or audiobooks
Talking with other passengers
Looking for an item in the vehicle
Hair brushing and makeup application

Pennsylvania’s distracted driving laws, however, only pertain to one main form of distraction for drivers across the state. This distraction is the cell phone. The law is actually broader than simply referencing a cell phone. In fact, the exact wording in Pennsylvania’s distracted driving law restricts motorists using an “interactive wireless communication device” to write, send, read a text communication while driving. This means that, likely, not just cellphones are included in the ban. It could also extend to tablets and other wireless devices that can be used for text-based messaging. It should be noted that the written communications ban under Pennsylvania’s distracted driving law does not include using a GPS device which is physically integrated into the vehicle.

You will also notice that the law references “text-based messaging.” This means that it includes more than a ban on texting while driving. Pursuant to the state’s distracted driving law, emails, and instant messages, among other written communications composed on a wireless device are also included. There is no ban or restrictions on talking on a phone while driving. Some states have banned use of handheld devices while driving and drivers must, therefore, use hands-free or Bluetooth devices if they want to talk on the phone while driving.

There are fines associated with Pennsylvania’s distracted driving law. It is a summary offense that comes with a $50 fine. The driver found in violation of the law, however, usually ends up paying over $100 due to court costs and additional fees. Violators do not get points assigned to their driving records and the violation will not be added to their record at all. For commercial drivers, however, it is recorded as a non-sanction violation.

On top of fines, drivers cited for distracted driving may also be convicted of reckless driving. Furthermore, if distracted driving caused a fatal accident, then the violator could also be charged with homicide by vehicle. If distracted driving led to an accident that led to injury or even death, the driver could also be held civilly liable for any damages that result from the accident. This means that the driver, or the driver’s insurance company, may be held responsible for paying for the medical bills, lost wages, and other damages incurred by victims of the accident.

Possible Treatment for Car Accident Knee Injuries

Posted on June 2, 2021

Knee injuries are common in a wide variety of motor vehicle accidents. The type of accident, as well as the force of impact, may result in different types of injuries, but all of them can be very painful and require extensive medical intervention in order to properly heal. Ranging from strains and sprains all the way to tears, fractures, and dislocations, immediate and continuous medical treatment for knee injuries should be a priority after an accident to help avoid long-term consequences of the injury as well as to help ensure your injuries are properly documented for personal injury claim purposes

Possible Treatment for Car Accident Knee Injuries

The type and extent of treatment for a knee injury will largely depend on the type and extent of the knee injury that has been sustained. The treatment for a sprain will likely look different than treatment for a dislocation, although there may also be some similarities. Let us review some of the more commonly sustained car accident knee injuries and possible courses of treatment for them.

Muscles in the knee can be sprained, strained, or torn, when the muscles and ligaments are suddenly stretched beyond what they are normally limited to. Most muscle strains and sprains will only require conservative treatment such as rest and icing, as well as compression and elevation of the injured leg. Should a ligament such as the ACL be torn, it may not only be very painful but may also necessitate surgery and extensive recovery, such as physical therapy and follow-up procedures.

The meniscus is also commonly damaged in car accidents. The meniscus is comprised of two pads of cartilage that act as cushions between the thigh and shin bones. When torn, surgery might be needed in order to remove the damaged cartilage, or a simpler procedure involving sewing the cartilage tissue back together may alternatively be merited. In many cases, a knee brace may be required while there is weakness in the injured knee. Fortunately, meniscus tears usually only require a somewhat brief recovery time and there is not likely to be any permanent damage.

With the jarring impact of a motor vehicle crash, specifically those high-speed crashes, the force of impact can cause the bones of the knee joint to be pushed out of their regular positions. This is referred to as a “dislocation.” A dislocation is a complex injury that may also involve torn ligaments as well as cartilage damage. Surgery may be necessary to repair any damage done.

In knee injury cases where surgery is necessary and in other knee injury cases where surgery is not recommended, there will likely be other interventions recommended to address pain and encourage proper recovery. Those with knee injuries will likely be ordered to rest, the injured leg specifically, as well as ice the area and utilize compression which will help increase blood flow to the area and, thus, spur recovery and repair of any damage sustained.

Elevation of the injured leg will also likely be necessary at one point or another in the recovery process, as well as physical therapy. Physical therapy can help build back strength and mobility to the impacted area. Prescription medication and pain management medication are also likely to be recommended in order to reduce inflammation surrounding the injury and address the pain commonly associated with knee injuries.
