Are damages reduced if the driver was not wearing a seat belt?

by Administrator 18. November 2009 06:32

Many people in accidents believe they cannot recover damages if there were not wearing a seat belt. While this is not necessarily true, the amount of wages could be reduced if the driver was not wearing a seat belt.

The reduction in damages likely will depend on state laws. In some states where there are no requirements regarding seat belts, the driver may be able to recover full damages. However, in other states with strict seat belt penalties, drivers may only recover a small amount of damages. 

If you or anyone you know has been injured in an accident and was not wearing a seatbelt, contact the Waukesha car accident attorneys of Habush, Habush, & Rottier, S.C., at 800-242-2874.

Steps to take after a minor accident

by Administrator 18. November 2009 06:25

While major accidents typically receive the most attention, minor accidents occur more frequently. Many people involved in minor accidents are usually unsure how to respond.

Some will choose to get the other driver's information and be on their way. Although this strategy may seem convenient, it may not be legally wise.

In most cases, one of the drivers should contact police, who will then file an accident report. That report could later prove helpful if there is a dispute about payments or if the case goes to court. 

If you or anyone you know has been in a minor accident, contact the Waukesha car accident attorneys of Habush, Habush, & Rottier, S.C., at 800-242-2874. 

How to reduce the risk of accident in severe weather conditions

by Administrator 11. November 2009 04:49

Some of the most dangerous accidents occur in severe weather conditions. These conditions include fog, rain, and snow.

When the weather is foggy, drivers often have difficult seeing traffic, which could cause them to hit oncoming cars or automobiles in front of them. 

The danger increases when the weather becomes snowy. In these conditions, not only are drivers unable to see but they must also drive in icy and slippery conditions. 

While the best way to avoid these dangerous conditions is to avoid driving in them, any drivers who must drive in these conditions should slow down and take caution when turning. 

If you or anyone you know has been involved in a serious accident in bad weather, contact the Waukesha car accident attorneys of Habush, Habush, & Rottier, S.C., at 800-242-2874.

The basics of a class action lawsuit

by Administrator 2. November 2009 07:01

A class action lawsuit is a legal mechanism that allows plaintiffs with similar claimgs to bring one action against the same defendant. In other words, the lawsuit is filed by a group of people instead of a single people. 

Class action lawsuits are potentially beneficial for people who cannot afford on their own. They are often used in expensive legal cases against large businesses, which have the resources to spend large amounts on legal defense. 

If you and others are considering filing a class action lawsuit, contact the Waukesha class action lawyers of Habush, Habush, & Rottier, S.C., at 800-242-2874.
