Amazing Story of Survival in a Tragic Car Accident | Federal Way Car Accident Attorney

via Premier Law Group by jason on 11/17/11

Vehicle accidents are unpredictable in every way. It is not as often we hear about the survival tactics that lead to the survival of a car crash victim. As a Seattle car accident attorney, I am inspired by unbelievable stories of survival and affected deeply when they end in tragedy. The local North Carolina news of WSOCTV.com reported about a young girl who survived a deadly car crash that left her trapped inside for almost two days and killed her father. Nine year old Jordan Landon was cut out of a severely damaged vehicle on Sunday night after a single car accident left the vehicle upside down off of a local highway. The girl was airlifted to a local hospital where she is expected to make a full recovery. Her father, Douglas Landon, was not as lucky and died in the accident. Douglas Landon was driving the vehicle at the time of the accident. Eating Pop-Tarts and Gatorade in the cold vehicle kept the girl alive until rescue personnel discovered the wreckage. Preliminary reports are indicating speeding as a cause to the crash, although the investigation is still pending.
Even though this accident occurred in North Carolina, speeding and single car accidents happen in the neighborhood of Federal Way, Washington as well. Single car accidents are often caused by losing control of your vehicle and going off road into the median, shoulder, or other environmental elements. When a vehicle goes off of the road, the chances of fatal injuries increases as well. The unpredictable path the vehicle ends up on often leaves the car mangled or even unrecognizably damaged.

Disability Discrimination Case | Seattle Employment Discrimination Attorney

via Premier Law Group by jason on 11/18/11

As a Seattle employment discrimination lawyer, I realize that keeping your job in such a tough economy is in everyone's best interest. Being able to provide for your family and keeping up on bills is essential for economic stability. It is because of this that employment laws are placed for the protection against discrimination and wrongful termination. According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), a man from Detroit was let go from his long term position after using up all of his short term disability insurance policy due to being diagnosed with cancer. The man was capable of performing the required duties of his job and was working part time while receiving chemotherapy. Once his policy was spent, the man requested to remain working part time until he finished his current wave of chemotherapy. The company denied the request without considering his abilities or performance. The EEOC has filed a suit against the company, claiming this action goes against the Americans with Disabilities Act.
A qualified employee has the right to request reasonable accommodations and in return the company has the responsibility to consider it in full before making a decision. The employees performance and ability to complete all tasks should be evaluated not the disability. Employment discrimination against disabled but capable workers is against the law and is seen all over the country.
If you believe you have been victimized in the workplace due to a disability and have questions concerning whether or not you have a case, contact an experienced Seattle employment discrimination attorney today. Deciding to take legal action in your workplace is difficult, call me at Premier Law Group and I can help make your decision less stressful by dedicating my time and experience to your case in order to protect your legal rights.

Crime Spree Leads to Multiple Collisions | Bellevue Vehicle Accident Attorney

via Premier Law Group by jason on 11/18/11

A vehicle on the run from the police has the potential to do countless damages to many others on the road. As a Seattle vehicle accident attorney, I recognize that the streets of Seattle and all neighboring streets can be a dangerous place to drive on. The Seattle Police Department Blotter issued a release about a man who was arrested in a car hijacking that lead to a desperate escape attempt that caused multiple collisions with other vehicles before ultimately resulting in the capture of the suspect. The alleged suspect began his crime spree by forcing a woman to hand over her car keys to a white Acura Sedan. The suspect took off in the stolen vehicle and in his rush, collided with another moving vehicle that contained two passengers. This first impact occurred at Boylston Avenue and East Pine Street. Only minor injures were reported by the victims. The suspect continued despite the collision and ended up striking several other parked cars that were unoccupied at the time. The multiple collisions were enough for the Acura to bear considerable damage and the suspect fled the wreckage on foot. Police are still investigating the damages caused by the suspect in custody.
Even though no one was seriously injured in this case, negligent hit and run accidents often end in tragic fatalities. Drivers that engage in dangerous behaviors such as speeding, inattention, distractions, and aggressive driving are an unsafe force on our streets. Being aware of others on the road and utilizing good defensive driving skills can help protect yourself against negligent driving patterns that seem to be increasing throughout the nation.
If you or a family member have been injured in a vehicle accident and have questions concerning your case, then you need to contact a dedicated Bellevue vehicle accident attorney. I believe defensive driving is a valuable skill to possess and could potentially be life saving. Call me at Premier Law Group and I will dedicate my time and knowledge to your case in order to ensure you the compensation that you deserve.

Firefighter Injured in Car Collision While Investigating Rollover Accident | Seattle Personal Injury Lawyer

via Premier Law Group by jason on 11/21/11

As a Seattle personal injury attorney, I am grateful towards all firefighters and other emergency personnel for their dedication and service to our safety. When disastrous accidents occur leaving first responders with severe injuries, it is devastating for the entire community. The local station of King 5 News reported about a firefighter that was hit by a vehicle after investigating a scene of a roll over accident on southbound I-5. The incident occurred early Sunday morning when South King County firefighters got a call of a rollover accident due to ice on the roads. The scene had been cleared of any injuries and Wynn Loiland was marking the vehicle so that others would know it had been checked when a vehicle, traveling a little too fast for the conditions, lost control and struck Loiland. This second accident occurred in the same spot as the first rollover accident and left Loiland suffering from serious head and facial injuries as well as a collapsed lung and broken arm. Loiland and his family are in the thoughts of us all as he recovers in the hospital.
According to National Fire Protection Association, in 2010, there were around 32,600 firefighters injured while on the job including both fire and non-fire incidences. The courage and determination of firefighters and other public service providers is truly inspirational. This accident just proves that winter weather conditions can cause destructive collisions and driving with care should always be implemented.
If you or a family member have been injured in a car accident, speak with an experienced Seattle personal injury lawyer today. Slippery conditions can make it difficult to stop or slow down in time which can result in devastating injuries. Take caution during inclement weather and slow down to ensure everyone's safety. Deciding whether to take legal action in a vehicle accident can be very confusing. Call me at Premier Law Group and I can help make your decision less stressful by dedicating my time to your case in order to protect your legal and medical rights.
