  • The Importance of Proper Insurance in Auto Accidents
    Despite the fact that it is the law to have sufficient insurance for a car, not everyone follows this law. Uninsured or underinsured drivers are becoming a bigger threat in the case of automobile accidents every year. If an underinsured or uninsured driver gets into a car wreck and is at fault, then they are liable for the costs of the accident, despite the fact that they don't have insurance.
  • Risky Business: Cell Phones While Driving
    As cell phones have tripled in use over the last decade, so has their popularity. Individuals find cell phones to provide convenience to their lives, however, many individuals who use cell phones while operating a vehicle actually increase the risk of being involved in an accident. Several studies in recent years have discovered that cell phone use in automobiles can be deadly.
