GM has now expanded its recall for an ignition switch problem to over 2.6 million vehicles. This wide ranging recall now covers model years 2003 to 2011 on Pontiac G5, Pontiac Sostice, Chevrolet Cobalt, Chevrolet HHR, Saturn Ion, and the Saturn Sky.
The problem is that the ignition switch can allow the ignition key to switch from the on position to the accessory position which kills the engine, power steering and brakes, and the safety systems such as airbags.
Reports state that GM knew of the problem as early as 2004. Supposedly the problem surface during a test of a new Cobalt in 2004 by a GM engine. GM actually acknowledged they had a problem in a 2005 technical service bulletin.
In its recall GM has states that it knows of 6 deaths in 5 Cobalt crashes as a result of ignition switch failure. Others are saying 13 people have been killed in 31 accidents linked to this component failure since 2004.
One lawsuit against GM from a crash that occurred in 2010 was settled last year and now a wrongful death suit has been filed in Minnesota on behalf of 2 teenage girls killed in a 2006 crash of a 2005 Chevy Cobolt.
Piling onto this a GM shareholder has filed a class-action lawsuit claiming shareholders were defrauded by GM due to its the handling of the ignition switch recall. You can expect many more lawsuits of all types coming.
Breaking news, on Friday GM has now told U.S. dealers to stop selling certain 2013 and 2014 Cruz sedans. The Cruze replaced the Cobalt in 2010. GM gave no immediate reason for this major decision.
Problems on this issue are mounting as now Congress also is planning to hold hearings over how GM has handled the recall.

Surprising Stats From The NSC Latest 2014 Injury and Fatality Statistics
On March 25, 2014 the National Safety Council published their 2014 edition of their Injury Facts.
Below are some of the interesting and surprising findings.
A. Poisonings, including those from unintentional opioid prescription painkiller overdoses, were the leading cause of death in 18 states and Washington, D.C. The increase in fatalities corresponds with the national increase in deaths from drug poisonings, including those involving prescription painkillers.
B. Cell phone use is now estimated to be involved in 26 percent of all motor vehicle crashes – up from the previous year.
C. An estimated 5 percent of cell phone-related crashes involve texting, while 21 percent involve drivers talking on hand-held or hands-free cell phones.
D. In 2012, the number of teen motor vehicle occupant deaths decreased, but motor vehicle crashes remain the No. 1 cause of death for teens.
E. Unintentional injuries cost more than $790 billion annually
F. The most costly lost-time workers’ compensation claims are those involving injuries to the head or central nervous system.
G. The number of elder adult falls has risen 112 percent since 1999.
H. Motor vehicle deaths in 2012 were at their lowest level in February and at their highest in July.
I. The three-day period around New Year’s Day was the holiday period with the highest percentage of alcohol-impaired driving deaths.
I do not think this is much of a surprise. Ignition lock breathalzer devices for all cars could be a big help in reducing this.
Notice the facts found on motor vehicl crashes and cell phone use, - up 26% from the previous year with 5% involving testing and 21 % involving talking either on a handheld device or hands-free mobile device.
If this isn't another solid reason to strengthen cell phone use while driving I do not know what is.

A Law To Reduce Drunk Driving In Ohio Is Gaining Attention
Many in Ohio are familiar with the story of Annie Rooney, a local attorney, whose lift was taken by a drunk driver in July of 2013. Now a law called "Annie's Law" is circulating through the statehouse.
This law centers on using an ignition lock breathalyzer device and system that when installed on a vehicle won't allow the vehicle to start if the blood alcohol content is above the legal limit of that state. The dirvier would have to blow into the device before he could start the vehicle.
In Ohio, current law does allow a judge to determne if a 1st time drunk driving offender must use this deveice. The proposed law "Annie's Law" would makeit mandatory for someone convicted of drunk driving to have to have this installed on their vehicle.
This type of ignition interlock device (IID) is being used in some form by all 50 states as a sentencing alternative for drunken drivers.

FDA Denies Hope for Dying Kids
Please read this article that is on Dr Mercola's website:
This is a great article about the 'experimental' drug Antineoplaston (ANP) which can be used for incurable brain tumors and how the FDA is blocking its use.
When it is successful, the patient can continue to live a fairly normal life as side effects tend to be relatively benign and short term. This makes the treatment much more desirable over conventional treatments, which would certainly lead to economic misfortune for the cancer industry if patients knew and understood the difference between these two types of treatments. Instead of fast-tracking ANP for the good of all, the FDA seems bent on curtailing its use whenever possible."

This is a great article about the 'experimental' drug Antineoplaston (ANP) which can be used for incurable brain tumors and how the FDA is blocking its use.
Here is an excerpt from the article "The story of ANP brings to light some very interesting anomalies with respect to how cancer is dealt with in the US, both medically (called "standard of care"), and with respect to the FDA's new drug approval process. ANP is a self-infused anticancer agent that can be dispensed on an out-patient basis.

Where To Start To Find A Personal Injury Lawyer by this Ohio Injury Lawyer
If you are looking for a personal injury lawyer, the best place to start is by contacting the local Bar association in your area. In case you believe you would have trouble paying attorney's fees, you might want to check out the free legal aid clinics near you. Free legal aid services or clinics will help file a lawsuit on your behalf and would usually work pro bono, or at no cost, if they think the case is justified.
If you're hurt, whether in an automobile accident, semi-truck accident, hurt in an accidental fall, motorbike accident, onsite-construction accident, or suffer any other type of injury, all things could change. Because of the accident you might not be able to resume your normal life. You might have to undergo several surgical procedures. You may not have the financial ability to meet your medical expenses or continue the financial support for your family. You need an advocate, someone to defend your rights, as well as help you get the monetary means to pay for your recuperation.
A personal injury settlement may not go to trial. Your personal injury lawyer is usually in search of the easiest as well as ideal way to negotiate a settlement that both sides are within agreement. Your attorney as well as that of the defendant will discuss until both parties are agreed. As the plaintiff, in case you agree to an amount presented in an out of court settlement, you should then agree to cease court proceedings. There are benefits in settling out of court. To start with, nobody actually likes going to court, and in case this can be alleviated, it is often for the best. An out of court settlement could be prepared in order to satisfy your particular needs.
Nonetheless, if you believe that you have a genuinely strong case, one which you might be able to obtain a larger settlement from if it goes to court, you may opt to continue with court proceedings. You have to think about your future carefully before taking any hasty decisions to accept an out of court compensation amount. Perhaps your injuries are severe, and will not allow you to go back to work. Just what does the future have for you? All this must be put into prospective before agreeing to any settlements.
In an ideal world, you can select an Akron personal injury attorney right out of the phone book that lists all of them in alphabetical order and get a competent personal injury lawyer. Better yet get on the internet and search for "Akron personal injury lawyer". The reality is that not every attorney listed in the directories are specialized enough to handle personal injury claims. There is likewise the question of the attorney's competence inside and out of the courtroom. Luckily, no sixth sense is required to ascertain a good lawyer from one who could derail your case. You simply need the ability to observe and ask questions.
When searching on the internet for an Akron personal injury lawyer you are going to see Chester Law Group Co., on the 1st page of your search. Check them out as they are one of the prominent personal injury law firms in Ohio.

How is a Personal Injury Case Value Established
How is a personal injury case value determined?
Usually a case value claim is determined by a formula.
1. What are the injuries themselves?
2. Type of care the client or patient goes through. The intensity, the frequency and duration of that medical care and at the end of that care is there a permanent impairment to that body part and if so does it require future medical care.
What is the definition of permanent impairment? A permanent impairment is a medical assessment to the function of a particular body part do to an injury. this must follow the guidelines of the whole person percentage method.
What is the whole person percentage method? This is a way to document an injury as a relationship to the whole body.
Here is the definition of impairment rating on Wikipedia - "An impairment rating is a number expressed as a percentage that is intended to represent the degree of an individual's impairment, which is a deviation away from one's normal health status and functionality.[1] Impairment is distinct from disability. An individual's impairment rating is based on the restrictive impact of an impairment, whereas disability is a broader term that describes the consequences one's impairment.[2] Impairment ratings given to an individual by different medical examiners are sometimes problematically inconsistent with each other."
The AMA impairment rating is important because it is an objective finding to the impairment of the body. It is used worldwide to document impairment and it is the biggest value driver on a personal injury case today.

Understanding Law Firms Hire The One That fits You Best
Law firms, particularly larger firms can have many employees. They may employ legal assistants, law clerks, title examiners, abstractors, searchers, legal secretaries and of course attorneys. Personal injury law firms may even doctors or nurses.
Attorneys may be partners, managing partners, associates, junior associates, supervisors, board members and the list goes on. A large law firm is a corporation and each person in that corporation has a role to play in the running of the business. The firm may be broken into the lawyers the do the research and the attorneys which litigate for the firm.
Law firms differ in their line of specialization. Be sure that the law firm that you are engaging with offers the services that best suit your needs. Hence, if you have sustained an injury from a car or truck accident and you want to file a claim against the party responsible, I certainly recommend that you deal with a personal injury law firm and not a that handles something like divorces.
Law firms are usually categorized according to their area of expertise. Although lawyers are expected to have an understanding of all the aspects of law, you should not assume that they perform well in all fields
Law firms may also outsource to experts in other cities or countries. For example, if you have a licensing dispute in China, the firm might outsource to someone in China, which would save time and money. In the same way, perhaps your business and law firm are located in Pennsylvania but a real estate dispute arises in your California office.
Your firm might outsource to a real estate expert in California. In hiring established expertise you also gain productivity. If a firm handles twenty real estate cases per day they will be able to resolve a similar case much faster than a firm that handles one such case every six months or so. It is important that you know what cases a firm handles and what have been there results in a claim similar to yours.
When looking to hire a law firm, always prioritize how well they could do the job you need done first. Anything else comes secondary, including how convenient it is for you when working with them. Lawyers aren't cheap; you'll want to hire a klaw firm that has the best chance of success for you.

10 Ways To Avoid A Car Or Truck Accident
1. Don’t text and drive
Texting and driving is one of the sure fire ways to end up in an accident. Studies show that texting while driving reduces your reaction time while driving the same as if you were drinking a lot of bears. You would not drive drunk so why would you text and drive. It seems innocent enough, but many a defendant thought it was no big deal to text and drive until they end up being sued in court. Some Counties like Summit County have made texting while driving illegal. That means you can get a ticket just for texting your friends while driving. Ask yourself; is that text so important that it is worth losing my life? Usually the text can wait until you get where you are going. If absolutely necessary, why not call the person and use a speaker phone to keep your hands free.
2. Make sure your car is in tip top shape
When your car is in great shape you are more likely to be able to not cause accidents and even avoid them when someone else is driving carelessly. When your tires and brakes are in top condition, it makes avoiding accidents much easier. How do you stop quickly when you have no tread on your tires? How can you correctly signal your intent to turn or stop when you’re turning or brake lights don’t work? You are much more likely to stop in time or swerve out of the way when your car or truck works like it was designed to work. An Ohio motor vehicle without proper brakes and tires is very dangerous to everyone on the road.
3. Stop at all stop signs
This is an obvious tip, but you would be surprised at how many people roll through stop signs or jut their front ends out into traffic at a stop sign. Always ask yourself “am I setting myself up for an accident here?” or “are my actions likely to lead someone else to hit me?”
4. Look both ways before turning right on red or proceeding through an intersection
This second seemingly obvious tip ends up being the cause of many accidents. Over the years, I am surprised at how many people proceed through intersections assuming everyone else will follow the law and do the same. Don’t assume everyone on the road is paying attention. If they were, personal injury lawyers would be out of business. Take a few seconds and look both ways. Remember, just because the light is green does not mean it is totally safe to enter the intersection.
5. Scan the cars and area in front of you
It is shocking how many Ohio accidents are caused by drivers failing to keep an assured clear distance. In other words, they just don’t pay attention and run into the car in front of them. The reasons for this can be texting, putting on makeup, talking to a friend, etc. Remember that you are driving a 3,000 to 4,000 pound car at 35-65 miles an hour. Next time you are outside of your car, look at the cars going by and imagine how it would feel if one of them ran into you or your car. People lose perspective of the real dangers of driving when they are behind the wheel. If you just made sure “not to hit the guy in front of you” many Ohio accidents would not occur. Also, don’t ride so close behind the guy in front of you that you can clearly read his license plate. If you can watch the TV in the back seat of the car in front of you, you are way too close.
6. Beware of blind spots
Blind spots cause a lot of accidents in Ohio. This is especially true when you are changing lanes. I always look in the side mirror and physically check the blind spot very quickly. You can also buy mirrors that attach to your side view mirrors that reduce the blind spot. Some new cars will even tell you when a car is in your blind spot and you are trying to change lanes.
7. Slow down in the rain and snow
It only makes sense that when the roads are wet with rain or snow or ice, tires don’t work as well and it takes longer to stop. Brakes skid on ice. Also, car and truck handling decreases significantly. Drive farther behind the car in front of you when the weather turns bad. Drive slower. It is not worth risking your life.
8. Drive with both hands on the wheel
This seems obvious, but when you have both hands on the wheel, you are not playing with the radio, a comb or brush, or texting. Remember you are driving a machine capable of killing a lot of people. Treat it with the respect it deserves. You would not use a chain saw with two fingers while texting would you?
9. Don’t drive after drinking, taking heavy pain killers or when extremely tired
According to the Ohio Department of Transportation, 320 people lost their lives because of drunk drivers on Ohio roads in 2009.
Personally, my rule is that if I have more than 1 beer I don’t drive. This may seem extreme to you, but after you have seen all I have seen, it is not a problem for me to have my girlfriend drive or simply have an iced tea instead of a beer. My rule is that if I have to ask myself if I am OK to drive I probably should not drive. Driving while extremely tired car reduce your reaction time significantly. Have a friend drive if possible, or get off the road if you think you are about to fall asleep at the wheel and are struggling to keep your eyes open.
10. Don’t assume the other guy is a safe driver
This is sort of a general tip that will help keep you safe on the roads. People tell me that they did not think they could get in an accident because they are a good driver. They failed to plan for the other guy who was drunk, on drugs, tired, texting or just distracted on the road. Do not assume the other guy is as good and conscientious as you are. It may just save your life.
The above tips will never assume you will not be in an accident. You can only control what you do behind the wheel, as you cannot control the other guy. However insure you take personal responsibility for yur actions behind the wheel and drive defensively.
