Virginia Accident Attorney Gets You The Verdict
You Deserve In A Distracted Driver Case
A recent article in the Washington Post gives an account of a seventeen-year-old girl, whose last words
over her cell phone before a fatal crash were – “I’m going to crash!” The article reports that distracted
driving accidents appear to be a smaller problem than they really are due to the fact that these accidents
are underreported.
According to DriveSmart Virginia, 8 out of 10 auto accidents in Virginia are related to distracted
driving. In an effort to toughen texting and driving laws in Virginia, the governor has signed a bill that
will allow police to stop and cite motorists for this offense effective July 1, 2013. Many feel this law
will do little to help solve the problem due to the small fines involved and other limitations of the new
law.
What Is Distracted Driving?
Driving is a skill that requires your full attention. You must not only be able to safely control your
vehicle, but you must also be able to respond to other things happening on the road around you.
Anything that hinders you from the safe operation of your vehicle is a distraction. A driving distraction
can cause one or all of three events – (1) taking your eyes off the road; (2) taking your hands off the
steering wheel; or (3) taking your mind off driving.
Common Types of Driver Distractions
Use of cell phone or texting – Using a cell phone while operating a vehicle is especially
dangerous because it combines all three events mentioned above. Even the use of a hands-free device
still contributes to inattention.
Finding directions while driving – No one can pay full attention to the road and the
surroundings while trying to read a map or taking a closer look at directions.
Driving to blow off steam – Many people seem to feel that a long drive will help calm them

3. down when they are angry or upset. What they don’t realize is that driving angry can be compared to
driving drunk. Their judgment is off and they may not even realize that the accelerator is on the floor.
Distracted drivers cause different types of accidents – motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, car
accidents, or pedestrian accidents. Every day, distracted drivers cause collisions that either kill or
seriously injure innocent people. Oftentimes these victims are friends or family who are riding with the
driver who becomes distracted. If you or a loved one has suffered injuries or death as the result of the
negligence of a distracted driver, you should seek the assistance of a personal injury attorney
immediately.

Maryland Accident Lawyer Will Get You Fair
Compensation For Your Auto Accident Injuries
An article in the Annapolis Patch gives an account of a horrible auto accident that occurred in Anne
Arundel County last year. The driver of one of the vehicles was thrown from the vehicle and died on
the scene. Two other men were transported to a local hospital because of injuries sustained in the
accident. Police said that evidence at the scene indicated that excessive speed and alcohol were factors
in the crash.
A recent study conducted by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, involving 100 drivers who
commute into or out of the Northern Virginia/Washington D.C. area, revealed that 20% of auto crashes
can be attributed to driver fatigue.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the following are the
alcohol-impaired vehicle fatalities for the year 2011:
• Maryland: Of the 485 total fatalities, 164 or 33% were alcohol related.
• Virginia: Of the 764 total fatalities, 224 or 29% were alcohol related.
• Washington D. C.: - Of the 27 total fatalities, 8 or 30% were alcohol related.
Statistics show that a person who uses a cell phone or texts while driving is 23 times more likely to be
involved in an auto accident. With events like the one in Fairfax County, VA where a teenager was
killed by a person who was texting while driving, is making most states aware of this enormous
problem. Recent polls have revealed that over one third of drivers (37%) have sent or received text
messages while driving, and 18% said they do it on a regular basis.
No matter what the cause, preventable auto accidents are causing serious injuries to many totally
innocent people every day. If you live in Virginia, Maryland, or the D. C. area and have suffered
injuries due to a negligent driver, you deserve full and fair compensation. You should contact an
experienced personal injury attorney to discuss your case and begin taking the steps to get the justice
you deserve.

5. Article #3:
A False Positive Mammogram May Require The
Attention Of A Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Los
Angeles
According to information for the Mayo Clinic, mammogram screening should begin by the age of 40.
Since doctors can’t distinguish dangerous breast cancers from those that are not life threatening, annual
mammograms still remain the best option for detecting cancer early and reducing the risk of death from
breast cancer. But what happens when things go wrong? You have your annual screenings just as the
medical experts suggest and after one screening, you get the bad news that the test was positive for
cancer. To make the situation even worse, you later find out that the results were wrong, what happens
now?
A recent article in the Los Angeles Times states that even after hearing they did not have breast cancer,
women who have been presented with false positive results experience greater anxiety and other
negative outcomes. In some cases, these adverse affects were still apparent three years after the initial
mammogram.
The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reports that for every 1000 people screened,
6 will have the condition and 40 will have false positive results. One solution offered to reduce the
number of women who have to deal with false positive results is to have mammogram screening less
frequently. But is that the best answer for all women? Should women really have to make the trade-off
of more false positives with an annual screening or face the increased risk of being diagnosed with
latestage cancer two years from now?
According to the National Cancer Institute, false positive mammograms occur when a radiologist
decides the screening is abnormal but there may be no actual cancer present. These false positives can
lead to anxiety and other forms of psychological distress. They go on to say that the additional testing
that is required to rule out cancer can be very costly and time consuming.
Even though false positive mammograms seem to occur more at younger ages, they can occur at any
age. If you have been psychologically injured by the false positive results of a mammogram, you
should contact an experienced Los Angeles malpractice attorney today.
