excerpt:

The number of commercial trucks involved in rear end collisions across the nation every year is staggering. Statistics by the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) indicate that around 400,000 commercial trucks are involved in collisions each year, with nearly 70,000 of those accidents involving a rear end crash. In most incidences, the outcome to motorists and passengers is catastrophic, resulting in serious injuries and fatalities.

A rear end collision may occur any time one vehicle crashes into the back of the vehicle directly ahead. Often times, these types of collisions will happen at stop signs, intersections, and railroad crossings when the vehicle ahead has come to a complete stop. However, rear end collisions can also happen while both vehicles are moving in the same direction.

Rear end accident involving large commercial 18 wheeler trucks and cars can usually be categorized two specific ways. The first is where the truck runs into the back end of another car or truck, and the second is when another vehicle collides into its back end. The most common type of truck-involved rear end crashes results from the trucker’s inattention, distraction or negligence before rear-ending a small passenger vehicle ahead.

excerpt:

Losing a source of much-needed income because of a work-related injury can be devastating on a family. The loss of wages can instantly change the family’s lifestyle and place financial pressure on meeting their debt obligations. It was not that many decades ago when families would have starved in an attempt to fend for themselves after losing the income. Today, many laws have been enacted in Rhode island  to protect an employee injured on the job, including providing workers’ compensation.

While these laws were enacted as an ideal transition from receiving money by working to getting paid when suffering injuries on the job, the truth is a bit more complex. Even though there are advantages to receiving RI workers’ compensation, there are also significant disadvantages too.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Workers’ compensation helps the injured employee by providing funding to pay for medical expenses and lost wages during the healing process. In addition, it helps the employer by protecting them against lawsuits. Long-term disability claims are usually settled through a voluntary agreement between the employer’s insurance company and the injured employee.

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.
