Woman Learns to Live With Brain Injury | Seattle Brain Inury Attorney
AppId is over the quota
As a Seattle brain injury attorney, I am aware that brain injuries can be some of the most devastating and painful injuries one can endure. Brain injuries can occur in many different ways but most often they are a result of a direct force to the head. However, that is not always the case. The NPR.org website recently reported a tragic story about a woman who suffered a traumatic brain injury due to a complication during surgery. Gweneviere Mann experienced a stroke during an operation in 2008 to remove a brain tumor and has suffered from short term memory loss ever since. It is now difficult for Mann to remember even the tiniest of details of her day and ultimately her life. Things that we all take for granted on a day to day basis such as today’s date and remembering when to eat lunch, is a constant struggle that Mann now has to face. With tricks such as keeping note cards in her pockets reminding her about the events that she has completed throughout the day helps maintain continuity throughout her daily life. Mann also participates in marathons with her boyfriend to encourage herself to remain positive and optimistic about what abilities she does still possess. Even though this is a frustrating and discouraging situation, Mann is determined to fight and persevere through her disability.
Doctors say that the brain is able to heal itself up to two years after the injury and after that any symptoms are most likely to remain permanent. In this case it has been beyond that two year mark and Mann has accepted that short term memory is going to be the norm from now on. Mann does not struggle with any other symptoms and presents as a very normal woman in every other aspect of her life. Because brain injuries vary in location and severity it can be very difficult to determine treatment for recovery.
If you or a loved one has suffered a traumatic brain injury in an accident and have questions concerning your treatment and recovery, contact a professional Seattle brain injury attorney to discuss your legal rights. At Premier Law Group, we understand how traumatic the lasting effects of a brain injury can be for you and family members and we are dedicated to working with you with integrity and compassion.

Choosing the Right Bankruptcy Attorney
AppId is over the quota
Bankruptcy is a crisis that many Americans are facing. People who work hard and pay their bills may find themselves buried under medical expenses, experience financial loss and unexpectedly suffer other financial crises that force them into bankruptcy court proceedings.
People who are faced with bankruptcy obviously need the services of a good bankruptcy attorney. The problem most people have is in determining how to choose the right attorney for their situation.
Here are factors that should affect your choice of an attorney:
Experience
The attorney’s professional experience is very important. There is no substitution for experience in bankruptcy negotiations with creditors, preparing courtroom arguments and presenting cases before a judge and jury.
Specialization
Specialization is another important consideration for your choice of an attorney. Pick an attorney who specializes in bankruptcy. It’s impossible for a general practice attorney to be competent in all aspects of bankruptcy law. An attorney who specializes in bankruptcy is informed, trained and capable of representing you well.
Service
Client service is what connects you to your attorney. When he or she is willing to explain the process, investigate your options and keep you thoroughly informed every step of the way you are able to make the best possible decisions.
Reputation
You should consider hiring an attorney who has a good reputation in the community, the court system and among his or her peers. Not all bankruptcy attorneys are created equal. Choose an attorney who is widely respected in the practice of bankruptcy law.
Innovation
Innovation is an important factor in your decision. An innovative attorney is on the cutting edge of the law and is often the one winning cases by using the most current case law and legal theories.
Success is the final determination of who you should hire. Look for an attorney that successfully represents clients, establishes the greatest legal protection in bankruptcy proceedings and brings about the best possible resolution of bankruptcy cases.
Your financial stability and future depend on choosing the right bankruptcy attorney. Take all of these factors into consideration as you make the right and informed choice of a bankruptcy attorney. Clients needing assistance in the Sarasota area should contact Jodat Law Group.
Some Good News in Unemployment | Bellevue Employment Attorney
AppId is over the quota
The economy is struggling and that means unemployment rates are high. As a Seattle employment dispute attorney, I understand the relief people feel just to have a job in today’s society. Even though some are grateful just to be employed everyone should still be aware of their legal rights as employees. KOMONews.com reported that within the last week fewer amounts of people have applied for unemployment benefits. Economic experts are hoping that if this trend stays on this track then things will be looking up for the unemployment rates that have been common within our society. The article states that our economy is slightly increasing and hope remains for the future. Although it is a slight growth, our unemployment rate is slowly getting better. Employment disputes are sure to follow, however. New employees as well as employers are encouraged to understand their rights within the workplace.
Wrongful termination, harassment in the workplace or discrimination of any kind, and wage or hour disputes are examples of employment dispute cases. A work environment that ultimately results in being unable to continue is unacceptable. Being mistreated in the workplace can also lead to devastating emotional pain. With unemployment as high as it is, seeking help with an employment dispute can be a tough decision to make but no one should have to tolerate a toxic work setting.
If you believe you have been victimized in an employment dispute and wonder if you have a case, contact an experienced Bellevue employment attorney today to discuss your legal options. Employment law can be difficult to understand, 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 rights. For more information and a FREE CONSULTATION, contact me at (206)285-1743.

Light Rail Collision Leaves Commuters Frustrated | Seattle Light Rail Accident Attorney
AppId is over the quota
As a Seattle light rail accident attorney, I encourage the use of public transportation and am aware that it is one of the safest modes of travel in urban areas. However, light rail accidents do occur and can leave numerous people hurt or displaced as a result. According to King 5 News, a transit light rail train and a car collided around 8a.m. on Monday. The collision occurred on Martin Luther King Jr. Way at S. Brandon Street in south Seattle causing delays for both light rail passengers and drivers. The train hit the car on its side going 30mph but did not cause any injuries. The accident is still under investigation by the police but it is suspected that the driver of the car may have been under the influence of alcohol. Even though no one was hurt in this case, it easily could have turned deadly for innocent passengers and the driver instead of just a costly inconvenience.
The Federal Transit Administration reported that during the year of 2008, around 990 light rail accidents occurred. These accidents caused around 37 fatalities and nearly 680 injuries to its passengers. The amount of people who utilize the light rail system continues to grow and despite that growth the amount of accidents and injures is relatively low. Public transportation is beneficial in many ways but if you do find yourself injured as a result of a light rail accident seeking help in determining who is liable is advisable.
If you or a family member have been injured in a light rail accident, contact an experienced Seattle light rail accident attorney today. Light rail accidents are rare but can be just as devastating as any other vehicle accident. Figuring out who is liable in a public transportation accident can be very frustrating and confusing. Call me at Premier Law Group and I can help make your decision to take legal action less stressful by dedicating my time to your case in order to protect your legal and medical rights. For more information and a FREE CONSULTATION, contact me at (206)285-1743.

Medical Emergency Causes Multi-Car Pileup | Everett Car Accident Attorney
AppId is over the quota
As a Seattle car accident attorney, I know the unpredictability of the road and other drivers is partly why good defensive driving habits are extremely important. Some defensive driving behaviors could be driving a safe distance behind the car in front of you, being aware of the cars around you, and driving the speed limit. These are good tips to avoid tragic accidents on the road. According to KIROTV.com, on Monday afternoon, a multi-car pile up occurred just south of Everett. The accident that involved 16 cars appears to have been caused by an unknown medical emergency of one of the drivers. The accident caused the pile up that involved several cars and spread 500 feet west of the initial crash. Two drivers had to be cut out of their vehicles and taken to local hospitals with serious injuries and one other driver suffered minor injuries. You can’t control what other drivers do and some accidents are unavoidable but using your defensive driving skills could help prevent more serious or even fatal injuries.
The National Safety Council is dedicated, along with government agencies, to the improvement of traffic safety. Providing defensive driving courses for all 50 states in hopes of improving the quality of drivers across the nation and ultimately reducing the number of traffic deaths is the goal of the NSC. Taking a defensive driving course could help you become better prepared for unpredictable driving situations.
If you or a family member have been injured in a car accident and have questions concerning who is liable, you need to contact the dependable services of an experienced Everett car accident attorney. I believe driving is a very serious responsibility and everyone should possess good defensive driving skills. 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. For more information and a FREE CONSULTATION, contact me at (206)285-1743.

What to Expect from a Workers Comp Attorney
AppId is over the quota
When you have been injured on the job, your employer will ask you to file a workplace incident report and identify all types of injuries you have sustained. This information will be used to determine the type and amount of workers compensation benefits you are eligible to receive, and you will need to file a claim to seek monetary compensation. Hiring a workers comp attorney to handle the claims-filing process offers a number of benefits, and there are several reasons to work with an attorney instead of working through the claims process alone.
Workers Compensation Claim Procedures
A qualified and experienced workers comp attorney knows what the state requirements and limitations are regarding workers compensation claims, and will be able to guide you through the claims-filing process. Most statues require employees who have been injured on the job to file a claim and report all injuries within a certain time period. If this time period lapses, you may not be eligible to receive a significant amount of compensation for your injuries.
In some cases, you are required to provide a general statement of the incident, but these requirements are not always enforced. Once the employer has been notified of the work-related injury, they will need to contact their workers comp insurer to begin the claims-filing process. Employers who hold up this process or neglect it altogether may be subject to a lawsuit.
In the event that the employer and their workers compensation insurance company denies the claim, you are entitled to file a claim with your state agency. In order to have your case reviewed, you may be required to submit supporting documentation and provide another detailed account about the incident. A workers comp attorney can assist you with this complicated process.
Benefits of Working with a Workers Comp Attorney
Working with a qualified workers comp attorney offers a number of benefits, and there are several things you can do to ensure that you will receive the maximum amount of compensation from your workers compensation claim. Some of the key benefits of working with a workers comp attorney include:
Increasing the amount of compensation you will receive from the claim or settlementCalculating the amount you are eligible to receive, including lost wages, medical care, and loss of benefitsDisputing a workers compensation claim and protecting your legal rightsDetermining when your workers comp benefits will startWorking through the appeals if arbitration is not in your favorA workers comp attorney can help to ensure you receive full compensation for damages incurred, and are fairly represented in court.

Bellevue Car Crash Attorney | WSP Set Speed Traps
AppId is over the quota
As a Seattle car accident attorney, I know that many accidents occur as a direct result of speeding along the highways. Marked speed limits are put in place for the safety of all drivers on the road and when someone violates these speeding laws, they are putting lives at risk including their own. According to a Washington State Patrol Media Release, law officers are cracking down on speeders along the Tukwila area of I-5, in hopes of reducing speed related collisions. Because this area of I-5 is so heavily traveled, state patrol motorcycle troopers chose this spot to pull over speeders during a four day speed trap investigation. At the end of the four days, the troopers had stopped over 100 speeders for violations. It is the belief of the officers that reducing the speed of traffic violators will result in a decreased number of car accidents in these heavily populated areas of the highway. Speed related car accidents can result in serious injury or even death.
According to the National Safety Council, speeding is the third leading contributing factor to traffic crashes, contributing to over 13,000 fatalities each year. People may speed because they are in a hurry, not paying attention or don’t think they will get caught. Whatever the reasons, speeding is potentially very dangerous. Please take the time to slow down on the road.
If you or a family member have been injured in a car accident, you need to contact a dedicated Seattle car accident attorney. Car accidents due to the negligence of others can be extremely devastating. Call me at Premier Law Group and I can help make your decision less stressful by devoting my time to your case in order to ensure you the medical care that you deserve as well as any financial compensation. I will work hard to get you the best possible outcome. For more information and a FREE CONSULTATION, contact me at (206)285-1743.
