If you are a pedestrian injured in a motor vehicle accident and file a claim for personal injury you might discover that the defendant actually claims you were responsible for the accident. Lawyers who are experienced and skilled at handling pedestrian accident cases know that the most effective strategy to this is to remember the rights of pedestrians, extensively investigate the accident, and position the case for trial.
So you try to only cross a street at a marked crosswalk. Imagine if only there were an assurance that drivers would stick to the rules and allow pedestrians in a crosswalk the right of way. Claims involving pedestrians harmed in a motor vehicle accident while in a crosswalk are part of the caseload of any lawyer who handles motor vehicle accident claims. These claims normally involve disastrous injuries that can leave the pedestrian with long-term disabilities or possibly take the life of the pedestrian. Look at the following cases.
Crosswalks should offer a safe area for pedestrians. They should provide pedestrians with a clear right of way. They are meant to signal to drivers a part of the road where they should exercise care. This article examines a situation in which they did not.
The only way we can accurately reflect God to others is to strive daily to know God. To be in His presence. To meditate on His Word. Unlike the futile self-help approach, the more we focus on God, the less self-focused we become. And the more available we make ourselves to His transforming grace in our lives.

Parents typically assume that their kids will be safe from motor vehicle accidents as they head to school. However, possibly they ought to not be so sure. Look at an actual matter in which a car entered a mid-block crosswalk that was adjacent to a high school, hit a fifteen year old student who was crossing the street and who sustained a traumatic brain injury. The matter resulted in a jury verdict in excess of $9.0 million.
Waiting isn't for spiritual wimps, but for those strong of heart. Obeying a "not yet" from God requires true faith. It's handing over our days and years and months to God, trusting that we won't regret holding off. It's believing God's plan is truly the best plan even when several other enticing options tempt us. It's deferring what is good for what is best. Related Article Tags: , , , , ,
At times car accidents just occur. People understand that. Still we do expect that individuals will be safer in particular areas.

Today my mind is flooded with thoughts of my friend John*. We've known each other for about a decade. At first we bonded over the struggles of being Christian, single, and searching. But in 2009, John faced bigger challenges than finding a date: He was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. After a year of very difficult treatment, the cancer finally gave John a break, and he began making long-term plans again. Part of his planning included proposing to the love of his life. Everyone was so happy for him. Last week John married his love. I want to be happy but I know why the wedding was pushed to last week instead of happening when it was originally planned: John's cancer is threatening his life again. Related Article Tags: , , ,
But he answered and said to his father, "Look! For so many years I have been serving you and I have never neglected a command of yours; and yet you have never given me a young goat, so that I might celebrate with my friends; but when this son of yours came, who has devoured your wealth with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him." - Luke 15: 29 - 31. I recently ran across a forum discussion about being single that reminded me of my single days. The original posting went something like this... Related Article Tags: , , , , , , ,
We can see here that our lives will not lack joy even when things get messy if we continually tap into Christ's love for us. It's those without Christ's love who find no joy or purpose in life's sufferings. Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you girded yourself and walked where you would; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish to go." (This he said to show by what death he was to glorify God.) And after this he said to him, "Follow me." John 21: 18 - 19. Related Article Tags: , , , , , , , , , , ,
We must know the truth of the person to whom we're committing and also know ourselves in light of God's truth, otherwise love is "blind" and not love at all. This is because we don't just marry a generic man or woman, but a unique, complex person created with dignity and in the image of God. Related Article Tags: , , , , , ,

His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness... For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 1: 3 - 8) Related Article Tags: , , , , ,
I remember going to high school and being the guy without a car. It was tough to watch all the "cool kids" hanging out in the parking lot booming rap music and idling their motors in order to broadcast the message: "Yes, I have a car, I am part of the highest caste, the clique of cliques, the nearly unattainable world of which you will never be a part."

Have you ever wished you could share your faith with friends or loved ones who do not know Christ, but you don't know how to do so effectively? Or have you ever worried that our culture is slipping farther and farther away from God's truth, but don't know how to turn it around? In past devotionals, several of us have quoted St. Francis of Assisi's approach to evangelism: "Preach the Gospel all times and when necessary, use words." Related Article Tags: , , , ,

There is an old saying that when the traffic signals turns green don't go right away because someone will be driving through the intersection on a red light. Red light runners cause hundreds of deaths and tens of thousands of injuries each year. In 2009, 676 people were killed and an estimated 130,000 were injured in crashes that involved red light running. About half of the deaths in red light running crashes are pedestrians, bicyclists, and occupants in other vehicles who are hit by the red light runners. Related Article Tags: , , ,
Though automobile accidents involving other autos or trucks are dangerous and frightening, an accident involving an automobile and a pedestrian is often more injurious, often fatal, with the pedestrian coming up a loser every time. In an ongoing effort to be a safer driver, acute attention to surroundings, including sidewalks, parking lots, and driveways, is of utmost importance. The consequences of inattention when pedestrians are present can be horrible, even deadly. Related Article Tags: , ,
