Ever wonder how long it takes to settle a personal injury claim?

Frequently Asked Questions about Personal Injury Attorneys You see the billboards all over Denver, but do you know what a personal injury attorney actually does? Here are answers to common FAQs.

How Do Personal Injury Attorneys Calculate Future Medical Expenses in a Car Crash Settlement?

I’m working on a case right now for a young man who was tragically injured when a car made a left-hand turn in front of his motorcycle. Car accident cases can be complicated. But thanks to witnesses, we know that he was following all the rules on his motorcycle and had no time to react when the other driver pulled out in front of him.

Now, this young man is facing a lifetime of pain and medical treatment. So, my job is to make sure that he can afford to pay for that treatment as long as he needs it, which means I need to calculate his future medical expenses, then demand that amount in the settlement with the car driver’s insurance company.

Calculating Future Medical Expenses for Car Accident Claims Do personal injury attorneys calculate future medical expenses for car accident victims? Yes! Learn how experienced car crash lawyers do it.

Interesting opinion article about daylight savings from the Times this morning. It talks a lot about deer… but also:

"Of course, more crashes with deer is far from the only cost of standard time. The number of fatal traffic accidents at night — caused by deer or anything else — is three times higher than it is during the day, and the dark increases the risk of pedestrian accidents by up to seven times. Permanent daylight saving time would prevent 366 fatal pedestrian and vehicle accidents a year with the help of brighter evenings during the 4.5 months of the year we currently spend on standard time. Conversely, staying on standard time for an extra 7.5 months each year would add about 610 fatalities — a difference of nearly 1,000 human lives."

The Times has a paywall but the article is here:
