Recent Auto-Bicycle Accident Turns Deadly in Cook County

Recent Auto-Bicycle Accident Turns Deadly in Cook County

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Bicycling in your neighborhood or to work should be an enjoyable, stress-free activity. But for a man in Cook County, Illinois, and for thousands of other bike riders, careless or negligent drivers can cause a serious injury or death. In late July, a 79-year-old man was cycling two blocks from his home in suburban Maywood when he was hit by an automobile shortly after 8 p.m. Within an hour he passed away at Loyola University Medical Center.

According to BIKESAFE, most automobile-bicycle accidents occur in the summer months of June, July, and August between 5 and 9 p.m. Through its case studies, BIKESAFE, in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Transportation, found that auto-bicycle accidents are most often caused by a driver who:
fails to yield at an intersection light
fails to yield at a stop sign
drives out mid-block or mid-driveway
turns left or right into a bicycle path
tries to overtake a bicycle

An estimated 53,000 injuries occur every year from auto-bicycle accidents and two percent of them are fatal. Cyclists must be mindful to wear helmets, obey traffic laws, and be aware of vehicles around them. In urban areas in and around Chicago, cyclists also have to be cautious with drivers going high speeds. Poor sight distance, speeds that make it harder to brake quickly, and traffic jams can increase the chances of an accident. Injuries can also occur when bicycles ride next to parked vehicles and a door is opened unexpectedly. And in the case of the Cook County senior, riding at dusk and into the night hours can cause visibility problems. Cyclists should be sure to use rear reflectors, pulsing lights, and other bright gear when they ride at night.

Automobile-bicycle accidents can cause serious brain injuries, even when cyclists are struck by vehicles going 35 mph or less. Back and limb injuries are also very common. When an accident like this occurs, the driver’s car insurance is responsible for your medical expenses. The Chicago bicycle accident lawyers at Briskman Briskman & Greenberg have helped many accident victims recover compensation for their medical bills, pain and suffering, future care, and lost wages.

A 51-year-old Buford man drowned recently when the fish into the Chattahoochee River back. A 4-year children infant managed in a different event type an apartment complex swimming pool area and fell into the pool. The infant is now in a coma and on life. Apparently, the gateway to the pool remained unlocked.

It gets hot and humid here in Atlanta and very Georgia, so one swimming is great way to get relief from the heat and to have some fun with friends and family. Swim or spend time in the water in General, whether it is in a pool, are Lake, River dangerous, especially for children or. The U.S. consumer product safety Commission (CPSC) is that his public service announcements this year for 2011 release, to hear on the radio and television shown are. These announcements to provide the public information about security steps, that can take it while in the water. She hope, by the people more aware that they save some lives.

Obstacles can come in the form of fences, walls, gates, safety covers and/or door alarms. None of these security measures are to take place which the adequate oversight nor should it be invoked, security opening be absolute. What they can do, is offer a degree of protection to a parent to give if they lose a child more time and you need to before there is a swimming pool accident.

Fences

Sometimes a whole yard is fenced, which means that the House is part of the case. If this is the case, the House should have to warn door alarms on it to a parent when the child has left the boundaries of the House. It is sometimes less dangerous to have a second fence around the pool itself within the backyard fence.

What kind of fence is installed it must be at least 4 metres in height or more, and should not climbable. If it should be vertical strips in the fence then the space between the slats less than 4 cm apart, so a child's head through the spaces between the fence planks.

Power pool safety covers

The ASTM is the Organization, the service standards governing these covers. They require that a cover to withstand the weight of two adults and a child. This allows for a rescue someone should fall on the cover. Covers must be able to shed water, as it never all standing water left above should be on the cover.
