How can an Injury Lawyer Support Me After an Auto Accident?
After an accident, you may be contacted by the other driver’s insurer. This is often upsetting. The insurance company’s representative might ask many questions about the accident and how you feel. In some cases this might be an honest effort but not always. For instance, the representative might ask how you are feeling. Normally, people are prone to say they are fine. Later on, the insurer may bring this up and insist there was nothing wrong with you.
On other occasions, a natural remark is to say you are sorry the accident happened. That is said in a kind, commensurate way. However, the company may insist that you were apologizing for the accident during the call. Sometimes, they will ask to record your remarks. This is not mandatory and they know it.

Safety Tips for Motorcycle Riders in Washington, D.C.
On the roadways, a motorcyclist is not always noticeable. A rider is actually the smallest object a driver may see when looking at it head-on. Often, drivers say that they failed to see the bike before impact. Even so, a motorist’s vision depends on what he or she is seeking or expecting to see.
To fix this problem, drivers must retrain themselves to accommodate motorcyclists into their expectations. Riders can increase their visibility as well. A motorcyclist must remember that just because they can see another vehicle, it does not mean that the motorist can see them.
