TRUCK ACCIDENT IN RI

Drowsy Driving, Distracted Driving & other Causes Even in seemingly simple cases, proving negligence in a truck accident personal injury cause of action in Rhode Island can often be difficult to determine. 


RI MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT

Being in a car accident can be one of the most terrifying events that can happen to a person. That terror is compounded when the accident is on a motorcycle. Motorcycle accidents can be very dangerous since the person does not have the protection.

from 2003 to 2012 both fatal wrecks are down from 42K year to 33K a year, and injuries reported are down from 2.8M to 2.3 M. The factors could be less speeding, better car, but this should be of interest to practicing attorneys.

excerpt:


The RI Supreme Court recently suspended Accident Lawyer  and Marketing Guru James Sokolove’s law firm, The Law Offices of James Sokolove LLC, from practicing Law in RI. Mr Sokolove was not disbarred or suspended personally. I do not even believe that Mr Sokolove is personally licensed to practice law in Rhode Island. The Rhode Island Supreme Court  Court ruled: “It is further ordered, adjudged, and decreed that Sokolove Law, LLC is hereby suspended from engaging in the practice of law in this state effective immediately and until further order of this Court.”


There is no doubt that Sokolove’s Law firm has a colorful and controversial history in Rhode Island.Prior to damaging decision, The  Sokolove Law firm notified the State of Rhode Island that it replaced its attorney to a different Rhode Island Personal Injury Lawyer. As a result of this notification the RI Top  Court took action. Sadly, Mr. Sokolove’s RI Injury and Accident Clients may be the victims of this dustup. James Sokolove previously feuded with a  few big name RI Personal Injury Lawyers in an attempt to get a foothold in the Rhode island Market. The feud went all the way up to the highest Court located in Providence. These local Attorneys from the Ocean State were battling to bar Sokolove’s firm from being licensed in Rhode Island.

an article by RI Distracted Driving Accident lawyer David Slepkow 401-437-1100
excerpt:


Prohibited use of cell phones while driving is the law in many communities hoping to eliminate car accidents caused by distracted driving. This is because speaking or texting on a cell phone while driving is a contributing factor in more than 25 percent of all vehicle accidents nationwide.


Not a New Phenomenon in RI or across Nation


Distracted driving is not a new phenomenon. It  is a problem that has been around as long as transportation. Any activity that diverts the motorist’s attention away from operating a motor vehicle creates a serious issue for everyone sharing the road with a distracted driver. While texting and using a smart phone or cell phone has become a recent problem, other driver distractions have been around for decades, including:


• Grooming or applying makeup
• Drinking or eating
• Reading, including studying maps
• Adjusting the radio, MP3 player or CD player
• Grasping for something out of reach in the vehicle
• Driving with one hand


Drivers become easily distracted when they divert their eyes from the roadway to dial a number, read a message on their smart phone, or type out a text reply. However, not all driver distractions caused by electronic equipment involves diverting eyes from the roadway or manipulating the device.

an article by RI Personal Injury Law lawyer David Slepkow 401-437-1100
excerpt:


Injuries from defective drugs in Rhode Island and Massachusetts (MA) are often due to the pharmaceutical industry rushing medications to market as a way to generate astronomical profits, without proper testing through extensive clinical trials. Product Liability is often the result of a consumer being injured by merchandise and goods that were defective, unreasonably dangerous and unsafe.

Defective Drug Problems in Rhode Island


Pharmaceutical companies are constantly bringing new medications to market in an effort to maintain their cut of the medical niche market. Drug companies can generate billions of dollars in profits every year. While some of their prescription medications save lives and cure medical conditions, many cause significant harm, adverse effects and even death to the patient.


While the FDA (Food & Drug Administration) maintains strict standards, guidelines and policies to ensure consumer safety, the process for approval is tedious and slow moving. Often times, pharmaceutical manufacturers will cut corners in an effort to rush a new product to market, placing patients in great danger of serious side effects. Even when adverse effects are known, it often takes years to remove the drug from the market.

Huffington Post is shocked that the handicapped victim could not recovery, but the statute of repose protected one D, and the management had no "constructive knowledge" of the defect. Premises cases can be tough, and must be thoroughly evaluated before suit is filed..

Over the past several months, I have written several in depth articles concerning the various provisions of personal injury law in Rhode Island. As I penned these comprehensive posts regarding liability, negligence and accident laws in RI, I realized that Rhode Island appears to be a very favorable environment for Plaintiff’s and their RI Personal Injury Attorneys.

I never gave any thought as to how Rhode Island and Providence Plantations stacked up against other states across the United States until I started reviewing commentary from injury attorneys and car accident lawyers nationwide.

an article by RI Car Accident lawyer David Slepkow 401-437-1100
excerpt:


Reckless drivers are more than just a menace to other motorists operating their vehicles in a safe manner, because of the potential of causing accidents on the roadway. An irresponsible aggressive motorist driving recklessly can commit a moving traffic violation that substantially endangers people and property, which often leads to injuries, death and property damage.


Common types of reckless driving behaviors on the Rhode Island (RI) roadway include:


• Making an unsafe lane change
• Driving at excessive speed
• Dangerously weaving through traffic
• Tailgating (following too closely behind)
• Passing a legally stopped school bus
• Failing to yield to motorists with the right-of-way
• Failing to signaling when turning
• Talking or texting on a smart phone
• Racing and drag racing
• Failing to stay in a single lane
• Operating a vehicle with faulty brakes
• Performing illegal U-turns (180 degree turn)
• Cutting off other vehicles on the roadway
• Passing vehicles on the right
• Road rage driving
• Driving faster than the posted speed limit through school zones and construction zones
• Passing on the right shoulder or in a no passing lane
• Impaired driving such as driving drunk or when on drugs
• Disregard of traffic signals and signs

Negligent and Illegal driving in Rhode Island and Providence Plantations


Any manner of reckless driving is a negligent act and is often explicitly illegal.  The State of RI has various enacted laws imposing strict penalties for any motorist driving at reckless speeds, typically considered numerous miles more than the posted speed limit. In addition to being cited with a traffic violation, the reckless driver can be held civilly liable, requiring them to provide financial compensation to victims of the accident suffering injury, death and/or property damage.
