Welcome back to the Injury Law Pod! We previously did a series on car accidents, covering all the various steps and parts involved in a claim. One of the big things we discussed was dash cams and this week, we want to go more in-depth to better prepare you. Having your own dash cam in your car is a great idea because it can be the difference between making a successful claim or not, especially if there are no witnesses to an accident. Dash cams provide independent evidence of how an accident occurred, showing who was at fault.
The other critical piece of evidence in car accident claims is black box data, officially known as electronic control module devices. Modern cars have these devices, which record various data points, such as speed and braking, leading up to and during an accident. This data is invaluable in determining factors like speeding or lack of attention from the driver at fault.
Both dashcams and black box data are essential tools in making a strong injury claim. If you haven't been in an accident yet, consider getting a dash cam for your vehicle. Remember, proactively preparing for potential accidents can significantly improve your ability to make a claim and seek justice for your injuries.

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.
