    Passenger Injuries

    If you’re a passenger who has sustained injuries in an automobile accident, you are entitled to receive compensation for your injuries. As a passenger, you may have a claim against both the driver of the vehicle in which you were riding as well as the drivers of any other vehicles (or any other negligent party) involved in the collision.

    A passenger is generally not considered to be at fault or partially at fault in an auto accident unless he or she does something that specifically causes the accident such as distract the driver. If you have been injured as a passenger in a vehicle involved in a collision, an attorney at Pasco LawGroup can help you file a claim and get monetary compensation for your injuries.

    If you or a loved one has been involved in an automobile accident contact Pasco Law Group at 1-800-4-INJURY.

    Parenting Phase II

    With my son in his junior year of college at Florida Gulf Coast University, I thought I was at the end of my parenting days.  True, you are always a parent to your children no matter how old they are, but at 21 your children either “get it” or they don’t.  They don’t require any supervision; they just need a few reminders now and then.  However, this week I learned that my life was coming full-circle as I learned I now had to be a parent to my parent.

     

    Yes, I had to practice some tough love with my 87 year old mother.  Somehow she seems to have gotten herself released early from the hospital.  It appears that she was behaving “as cantankerously as she could” to the hospital staff.  Due to her surgery she could not go home immediately and live independently.  She will need to recover in the rehab facility.  She will need to heal, get her strength back and learn how to take care of her “new self.”  I had to sit her down and tell her that like it or not, she had to stay in the skilled nursing facility. If you have not been in this position, let me suffice it to say that it is very strange.  Here is the parent who lectured you about behaving yourself and minding your manners, behaving in a way that requires that the tables be turned.

     

    “You are not going anywhere mom.  You are staying here, and if you want to get back home, you will need to behave and listen to your caregivers.  You need to make sure you eat right so your wounds will heal faster. Be nice to others, so they will be nice to you.”

     

    I watched and held her hand as the nurses assessed the condition of her now frail body.  They checked and noted on their paperwork, every bruise, cut or other out of the ordinary injury on her body.  When I was ready to leave, she had settled down.  She promised to behave and try to be patient with her caregivers. Love you mom, see you tomorrow.

    Pasco Law Firm Lucas, Green & Magazine Represents Injured Motorcycle Riders

    Motorcycles are becoming an ever-more popular mode of transportation not only in Pasco County, but all over the the United States. With the economic changes and challeges we are facing not only in Pasco County but all over, more and more people are opting for this economical form of transportation.  However, the increase in the popularity of motorcycles inevitably leads to an increase in motorcycle accidents. Even if you don’t drive a motorcycle, you know how difficult a motorcycle is to see on the highways and surface streets around the Pasco, New Port Richey area. You’ll notice that motorcycles always have their headlights on.  If this wasn’t required by law, motorcyclists would want to make themselves as visible as possible in the New Port Richey, Port Richey and all of Pasco County, because it is such a beautiful place to ride.  Per vehicle mile traveled in 2004, motorcyclists were about 34 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a motor vehicle traffic crash and 8 times more likely to be injured. While motorcycles made up slightly more than 2 percent of all registered vehicles in the U.S., motorcyclists account for 10 percent of total traffic deaths. Pasco Law Group offers aggressive, professional representation to motorcycle accident victims.
