LOS ANGELES, Oct. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- An
October 7 article on NBC Los Angeles
reported on a mother's second chance at a more normal life despite
losing her arm after a collision which caused her car to roll over
several times. The woman might well have lost her life as well as
her arm if it weren't for fellow motorists who rushed to her
rescue, including a US Marine who made a tourniquet to stop the
bleeding. The woman's family is reportedly holding several
fundraising events in order to purchase a new prosthetic arm, which
they say is not covered by insurance. Legal Defenders at the Law
Offices of Burg & Brock, a Los
Angeles-based personal injury law firm, says that while this
mother is lucky to be alive, her story is a good reminder for all
drivers to exercise caution on the road in order to prevent
accidents that can be both physically and financially
debilitating.
Legal Defenders encourages motorists to take all relevant
preventative measures while driving, as basic as they may seem.
Simple things like leaving enough time to get to a destination in
so there's no need to rush or speed can make the difference between
life and death, says the law firm. Especially in poor weather
conditions, slowing down ensures the driver has better control over
the car and can safely maneuver around any flooded areas on the
highway. The firm adds that staying focused on the road and one's
surroundings can be all the difference between a safe journey and a
costly and potentially deadly collision. If an email or text cannot
wait to be answered until the driver reaches their destination, the
Los Angeles legal team urges
motorists to safely pull over rather than text and drive as even
the shortest lapse in attention to the road can be devastating.
Texting and driving is just as bad, and potentially worse, than
drinking and driving.
The law firm adds that there's nothing more important than
safety. When accidents occur, the firm says that the costs that
follow can easily snowball into ruinous debt. From the physical
toll an accident may cause on the body to financial hardship caused
by issues with compensation or insurers who may be slow to pay the
appropriate amounts, Legal Defenders says undergoing these costly
situations is never worth the headache if it can all be avoided by
being extra careful on the road.
