Texting while driving is one of the most dangerous things you can do on the road. It is estimated that texting and driving is six times more likely to cause an accident than driving under the influence of alcohol. When you text and drive, you are taking your eyes off the road, your hands off the wheel, and your mind off the task of driving. Even a momentary distraction can result in a serious accident. It only takes a split second for a car to veer into another lane, run a red light, or fail to stop in time to avoid a collision.

It can wait. Don’t text and drive.

Nothing is more important to a parent than the well-being of their child. After a car accident, parents must be especially attentive to a child who is too young to articulate if they've been injured.

5 Signs to Look for in Young Children After a Car Accident | OZ Law Sometimes injuries cannot be seen, so it is better to be extra cautious to ensure your child's health. Call 916.714.8200.

A juvenile survived a solo boat crash this month in San Joaquin, California, which tragically left two adults deceased. According to the Sheriff’s office, the cause of the accident remains unknown. Our hearts and prayers go out to the young one and the surviving family members. May they draw comfort from one another during this difficult time.

Such a tragic accident is a sobering reminder that boating, although fun, can be dangerous and even deadly. This accident wasn’t the first of the year, nor will it be the last. Every year, the Coast Guard compiles statistics and reports revealing the number of boating accidents and their suspected causes.

In 2023, the Coast Guard counted 3,844 accidents involving 564 deaths, 2,126 injuries, and approximately 63 million dollars of property damage due to recreational boating accidents.

We at OZLaw want everyone to have a fun and safe summer on California's waterways. Therefore, we encourage boat owners to ensure their boats are mechanically sound and become aware of the safety guidelines all boaters must follow.

Large trucks need a lot of room to allow their trailers to complete turns. If they turn too sharply, they may strike something on or near the curb. Trucks have signs reminding other drivers of this need for space. Sometimes, though, a driver fails to make enough room for the truck. This could result in a lot of damage and injuries. Depending on the factors in the accident, one or more parties may be held liable.⁣
⁣
Consider:⁣
•Did the trucker fail to make enough room execute the turn?⁣
•Did the trucker fail to use a turn-blinker?⁣
•Did the driver of the car try to illegally pass on the right?⁣

Resources That Can Help

If you are suffering from a brain injury, there are some things you can do to help you cope with the challenges ahead:

- Join a support group: sometimes, it helps to talk to others going through something similar. You can learn coping strategies from others in your group and lean on them for support when you feel no one else understands.
- Focus on one task at a time: try to focus on one task at a time so you don't get distracted and frustrated.
- Stick to a routine: following a pattern makes remembering what should be done more manageable and can help avoid confusion.
- Write things down: if you are having trouble remembering things, keep a notepad handy and write things down, such as people's names, important dates, and phone numbers.
- Avoid any physically demanding activities that may result in further injury.
- Please don't overdo it: the number one thing you should be doing is getting plenty of rest so your brain can heal. Try going to bed earlier to get more rest, and if you are tired during the day, take a nap.
- Avoid staring at the computer for long periods.

Results Matter 👇

"Client was rendered quadriplegic when he fell from a trellis while installing a gutter on defendant's personal residence. Client's employer was hired to install new gutters. Unbeknownst to Client, the trellis on which he was standing had significant dry rot. The trellis collapsed and Client fell approximately 11 feet to the ground below and fractured his spinal cord. Ordinarily, a homeowner has no liability for injuries to an independent contractor's employees when they are performing work for which they were hired. An exception to this rule is when the property owner fails to warn about a latent or concealed danger on the property. We argued that the dry rot fell into this exception. The case eventually resolved in 2019 for just under $4 million."
