There isn’t a cut and dry answer to this question. The short answer is most likely. If your injuries are severe enough to warrant hospitalization, ongoing therapy, repeated doctor visits and extensive time off work, you should be compensated for damages in order to pay for these bills as well as your regular bills like the mortgage, etc. Other factors will also come into play, such as if you’re the breadwinner of the family, how extensive your injuries are, how extensive the property damage is, and who was at fault. Because there’s no straight answer to this question across the [...]

The latest example of technology gone wrong comes in the form of a tragic accident reported last month in which a Tempe, Arizona woman was killed while crossing the street. She was hit by an Uber self-driving car, the first fatality on record where a pedestrian, not a passenger, was involved.

But a little known offshoot of all this is the prevalence of bicycle accidents involving those who prefer to take a quicker, more scenic route to work.

Sad thing is, this is a decrease from prior years, down from 86 deaths in SoCal in 2014. But any number, really, is too high. With the boom in bike accidents comes an increase in the need for good bicycle [...]
