I Was Injured in an Accident—How Long do I have to File a Los Angeles Personal Injury Claim?

March 3, 20120 is known as Super Tuesday because it’s the date 14 states hold their primary elections, including California.   Because of the high number of states and delegates up for grabs, whoever becomes the nominee of the Democrat Party to be President of the United States may be determined by the Super Tuesday votes.  And remember in addition to President, there are many other offices and measures being voted on, including our representatives for Congress  (known as the United States Representative), Los Angeles County District Attorney, many Judges of the Superior Court, and various county measures.

California used to hold its primary in June, but because so many other states held their primaries earlier and the nominees were sometimes already decided, California moved its primary up to early March to become more relevant.

In addition to moving its primary up to March 3, 2020, California and Los Angeles County have instituted early voting procedures where voters could vote in certain places since February 22, 2020 and other places since February 29, 2020.

What Causes Tire Blowout Bicycle Accidents?

What Causes Tire Blowout Bicycle Accidents?

California’s sunny, warm weather and scenic views make bicycling an enjoyable, popular activity throughout the entire state. However, bicycle tire blowouts are a scary experience that can put an end to the enjoyment and cause serious injuries.

When a tire explodes, the rider is usually thrown from their bicycle and an accident occurs. The bicycle goes from easy to handle to incredibly difficult to control, and a resulting accident creates a high potential for catastrophic injuries both to the rider and sometimes even to others traveling on the road around them. If you or a loved one has been injured by a bicycle tire blowout accident, speak to an experienced Calabasas personal injury attorney to see if you may be entitled to compensation.

According to Reuters, on January 8, 2020, when Iran launched missiles at the military base at al-Asad in Iraq, President Donald Trump originally said “All is well!”  Later, as more and more American troops were diagnosed with concussions, Trump said he “heard that they had headaches and a couple of other things.”

Reuters however is pointing out that according to the troops and their medical personnel, all is not well.  A concussion, which is a traumatic brain injury, is a very serious injury.  Oftentimes however, if people don’t see a broken bone or an open wound, they do not appreciate the severity of the particular injury.  That is one possible explanation for why President Trump negated the severity of the injuries.  There are also other possible reasons, including political reasons.

One soldier even went as far as to say that when the missiles struck, he felt like he got hit by a truck.  Obviously, that is not just a headache.  This soldier suffered a traumatic brain injury and may suffer symptoms for a significant amount of time from this incident.  Furthering the severity of the incident is the fact that there were multiple impacts.  While one brain injury is bad enough, suffering from multiple brain injuries, especially in a short period of time, is particularly harmful to the victim.
