Neck injuries are very common in car accidents. In fact, it’s also very common for people to not realize they have a serious neck injury for a few days or even a few weeks after the accident has occurred. You might be at a loss for what your next moves should be if you hurt your neck in a car accident. Hopefully this article will offer you some guidance.

Go to the Doctor

Many people put off going to the doctor after they’ve been in a car accident because they don’t think their injuries are serious enough to require a medical appointment. Perhaps they don’t want to take the time, or maybe they don’t have medical insurance. Because neck injuries can occur some time after an accident has taken place, it’s important to be seen by a doctor, regardless of your ability to pay or lack of medical insurance. Your visit will be covered in your car accident settlement.

Comply with All Treatment Recommendations

If you’re someone who doesn’t have insurance, it’s tempting to ignore any treatment recommendations. However, your health is important, and you need to be well for yourself as well as for your family. Make sure you go to all of your appointments and get any tests they think you need. These will be covered in your settlement too.

Contact a Car Accident Lawyer

Finally, a car accident lawyer can assist you with filing a claim for your injuries. It’s tempting to try and file a claim on your own, but your lawyer will know exactly what you need to do. It’s best for you to concentrate on feeling better and healing, especially with a neck injury.

A major question that many businesses have today is “in a social media, digital technology driven world, should I abandon the use of traditional marketing strategies?” Or in other words, do the use of traditional advertising forms like posters, business cards, and even radio and television have the same impact on generating buzz about a business, product, service, or idea as before? The answers to both questions depend on several factors including:

• What type of business one is in?

• What is the marketing budget of a business?

• What marketing strategies have worked best for one’s business in the past?

When social media marketing and digital marketing strategies grew in popularity, small to mid-sized businesses found themselves more able to stay competitive with an arsenal of new impactful yet cost-effective tools. Twitter marketing, branded content, blogging, and other forms of social media and online advertising helped usher in a new day and age for businesses that lacked big brand advertising budgets traditionally reserved for large companies. In present times; however, it seems that even those entities choose to put more of their advertising dollars in the more trendy marketing tactics of today.

So do present times call for the most popular present marketing measures? Some marketing experts say absolutely! But are traditional forms of advertising deemed things of the past? The same experts also say absolutely not! According to social media marketing expert Sarah Beacom of SocialCentiv, a company that developed a platform that assists businesses with increasing engagement on Twitter, when it comes to traditional marketing and digital marketing, “Both of these marketing avenues can work together in order to benefit one another.”

Beacom says in a recent blog “Traditional Marketing vs. Digital Marketing: What is Right For You?” that “It’s a necessity for any business to market their product or services to an audience, but the number of ways in which a business can accomplish marketing and advertising is continuously growing.”

She goes on to point out the advantages of both techniques. With traditional marketing Beacom notes that multiple forms have been perfected over time and have demonstrated high rates of success and are perfectly understood by the public. For example there is no need to explain the function of a radio commercial or magazine ad to consumers. The pros of digital marketing include the fact that it is more accessible and affordable for most businesses, and can be “stretched in different ways.”

In order to tell what the best types of marketing strategies are for one’s business there are three key things to consider:

1. Who are your prospects? – Understand your target audience inside and out when it comes to how they like to communicate with brands. This aids in learning their language in terms of what is needed to ensure that your marketing messages are well received.

2. Where are your prospects? – Are your prospects most likely to be searching for your offer online? On a mobile device? On Twitter? If your prospects are online or relentlessly using social media, then this is where you should also be.

3. What’s in your arsenal per your budget? – Traditional platforms like radio and television are usually costly to advertise on. Therefore, if it isn’t in the budget, alternatives like Twitter marketing may be a better route to take.

With whatever method a business chooses to utilize to reach potential customers it is also important to continually evaluate the results of the effort, and keep an open mind about adopting more innovative strategies for increasing business success as they come along.

Neck injuries are very common in car accidents, and it’s not always readily apparent that you’ve suffered from one. That’s because there are some type of neck injuries that don’t always cause pain for a few days or even weeks once the muscles relax in the neck.

Let’s talk about a few of the different types of neck injuries you can suffer from after a car accident.

Whiplash: Whiplash is one of the most common types of neck injuries that car accident victims experience. It occurs when another vehicle hits your vehicle, which causes your head to be thrown forward and then back. When the muscles in your neck are pulled or torn, it causes a lot of pain, and this is known as whiplash. You might need to wear a neck brace for a few weeks and take pain killers until the injury heals.

Neck Sprain: In addition to muscles in your neck, it also has ligaments. Just like muscles, ligaments can tear or get stretched to the point of pain, and this results in a neck sprain. Spraining your neck is very painful, and in some cases, it might even require surgery if the sprain is really severe.

Herniated Disk: Your spine goes up into the base of your skull, and there are disks between each of the vertebrae. A herniated disk occurs when the spongy material that is inside the disk breaks through the protective barrier. That material presses against your nerves and causes pain that often radiates through your shoulder and into your arm.

Any type of neck injury is painful, and it can cause you some serious physical difficulties for years to come. If you’ve been in a car accident and you believe you have a neck injury, you should be compensated. Contact us to find a New York car accident lawyer that can help you.

Dallas criminal defense lawyer Mick Mickelsen outlines key reasons many criminal defense lawyers are afraid to let juries decide punishments for client cases when applicable.

A number of crimes are specifically itemized in legal statutes with accompanying applicable punishments. Therefore the decision making power of most juries is limited to determining whether a defendant is guilty or innocent. There are circumstances; however, where juries are permitted to take part in sentencing decisions. In these cases, prosecutors may request that a severe sentence be imposed on a defendant, but a jury may decide on a lighter punishment.

In cases where there is the option to elect jury punishment, most criminal defense attorneys are reluctant to do so. According to Dallas based criminal defense lawyer Mick Mickelsen of Broden Mickelsen Helms & Snipes, the hesitancy is based on fears about how a jury has perceived their client. Particularly in cases where a defendant has chosen to plead guilty in a case, the majority of criminal defense attorneys opt under these circumstances to not dispute their client taking the state’s recommendation for the type of sentence warranted in a plea agreement.

However, the criminal defense attorney suggests that not giving in to such pressure can be a strategy that can yield a better outcome for a challenge legal case. Says Mickelsen “I had a client who unfortunately had to admit guilt to committing eleven home invasions, three of which resulted in confrontations with the homeowners. He elected to have a jury decide his sentence. The State asked the jury to give him a fifty-year sentence. The jury gave him probation.”

Although the case described above is not always typically for defendants who enter a guilty plea as opposed to going to trial, many who have chosen to allow a jury to decide their punishment fair much better than they would have by taking the sentence offered for serious crimes.

Some transportation safety advocates fear the potential consequences of the passage of a measure that would change the age requirements for drivers of 18-wheelers who transport goods across state lines. The highway bill, which would lower the age requirement from 21 to 18 is currently working its way through the Senate.

Source: NPR Report “To Get Big-Rig Drivers, Senate Bill Would Give Keys To Teens”

“Tractor-trailers have 18 wheels. But under current federal law, you can’t be 18 years old and drive one across state lines. You have to be 21. The highway bill working its way through the Senate, though, would change that.”

To read more visit http://www.npr.org/2015/07/31/427712873/to-get-drivers-behind-big-rigs-senate-bill-allow-teen-drivers.

Fears about this type of change are largely tied to assertions that it would yield an increase in the number of truck accident injuries and fatalities, which are already occurring at alarming rates. Says Jackie Gillan, president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety of the issue “They want to allow 18-, 19- and 20-year-olds to drive big trucks. This is a terrible idea, and it will result in more crashes, more deaths and more injuries.”

This is evidenced according to Gillan by statistics that show 18-year-old drivers have a higher likelihood of becoming involved in motor vehicle accidents. Gillan further states, “Drivers between the ages of 18 to 20 have four to six times higher rates of fatal crashes.”

Even some within the trucking industry suggest the lowered age minimum could pose a threat. Eric Pennucci of Boston based trucking firm Horizon Air Services, is referenced in the NPR article as saying it may not be the safest idea due to trucking business related stress that younger, less experienced drivers may not be able to handle well. Pennucci is quoted as stating “We just wouldn’t do it. Safety means a lot. I’m OK with having to wait till you’re 21 to drive a tractor-trailer.”

Texas truck accident attorney Amy Witherite of the Eberstein Witherite firm holds similar views, stating “there are already congressional moves being made toward reducing limitations for truck drivers that could put many people at risk. Passage of this new measure should require very careful thought and consideration.”

Witherite is in part referencing a bill that would allow truck drivers to travel longer hours during their work weeks, something many say would increase traffic problems related to truck driver fatigue. The Amy Witherite Texas truck accident lawyer says of the matter in a previous article “thousands of injury causing tractor-trailer accidents occur each year and a significant percentage of these are linked to truck driver fatigue.”

Proponents of the new bill say that because some states already allow 18, 19, and 20-year-old drivers to make shorter haul trips within state lines, there would be no stark differences if it is passed. Dave Osiecki, a lead lobbyist for the Washington based American Trucking Associations is quoted by NPR as stating “One of the reasons that ATA supports this idea is because we have today in every state in the United States — at least in the lower 48 — we have 18-, 19-, 20-year-old truck drivers operating in the state.”

Many are awaiting the final outcome to see whether the bill will be approved, and if so, what it will mean for the nation’s road travelers.
