Welcome back to the Injury Law Pod! May is an important month for safety awareness campaigns in our practice area, including Motorcycle and Bicycle Safety Awareness. These campaigns herald the unofficial start of summer as more people take to the roadways on motorcycles and bicycles. Over the last few years, there has been an increase in motorcyclists and cities have become more bicycle-friendly, leading to even more bicycles on the roadways.
And, as we see more of these types of transportation modes on the roadways alongside cars, trucks, and semis, we have an increased potential for problems, collisions, accidents, injuries, and unfortunately, deaths. It's not just about making others aware but also reminding motorcyclists and bicyclists to exercise safe procedures when they are on the roadways. It is crucial to observe all the traffic laws and wearing a helmet is also essential as it protects your brain, which is crucial to everything you do in life.
If everyone observes traffic laws, drives reasonably, and avoids distractions, we can prevent many incidents between vehicles and motorcycles or bicycles. It takes effort from both sides to create a safer environment on the roadways.

Welcome back to the Injury Law Pod! Today, we're diving into a crucial topic: dog bite injuries. Dog attacks happen more frequently than you might think, whether you're out for a walk or visiting someone's home. These incidents can lead to serious injuries and trauma. So, let's break down what you need to know if you find yourself in this unfortunate situation.
We'll discuss the scenarios where dog attacks commonly occur. Why there's no "one-bite rule" in Missouri, meaning that a dog owner can be held responsible for an attack even if their dog has never shown aggression before. And what immediate steps you should take. Regardless, if you ever need legal assistance with a dog bite injury or any personal injury matter, don't hesitate to reach out.

Welcome back to the Injury Law Pod! Today, Eric highlights the unique challenges and considerations involved when dealing with brain injuries sustained at work. Brain injuries in a workplace setting may not always be immediately apparent. It's crucial to promptly report any suspected brain injury to your employer, failure to report promptly may jeopardize your ability to seek compensation.
Navigating the workers' compensation system for brain injuries can be challenging. Disability settlements for brain injuries in workers' compensation cases may not reflect the true extent of the injury's impact, underscoring the importance of seeking independent medical evaluation and legal representation to ensure fair compensation.
