Watch for Motorcycles Prevent Accident & Injury
Motorcycles are not as visible as cars. But careful, caring drivers can see a motorcyclist no matter what. You just have to drive with that awareness in your mind. Even though its getting colder there will still be bikers on the road.
This link to a video is a sobering reminder that bikers are good decent folks, and a momentary distraction by a car driver can maim or kill them. The law gives them just as much right to the road as a car. So cagers please notice everyone and everything around you.
The life you save may be your own, or a father , mother ,son, daughter,sister, brother.

Were Your Ohio Workers Compensation Checks Stopped and your Attorney Never explained why
Why Were My Ohio Workers Compensation Benefits Checks stopped
Many workers compensation Claimants do not understand why their biweekly compensation checks were stopped even though they could not go back to work. There could be several reasons. The biggest one is that you reached maximim medical improvement known as MMI.
This means that the Ohio bureau of workers compensation has determined that your medical condition is not going to improve any further. In other words you have reached a plateau from which there will not be any further improvement. So even if you think you are still healing , and even if your doctor thinks there is still room for improvement and even if you have not returned to work, you could be determined to be maximum medically improved and your checks could be stopped.
That's why its important to have an attorney that is certified by the OSBA as a specialist on your side. They can fight to keep you from being found mmi and if you loose they can explain and determine a strategy for you to seek other benefits.
Watch this video to learn more about this issue.

Cincinnati Personal Injury Attorney - The Chinese Drywall Problem
The Chinese Drywall Problem
Imported drywall from China has ruined many homes. There are literally thousands of lawsuits being filed. The insurance compaies are refusing to pay calling this problem a pollutant. Even worse if you make a clain with you homeowners insurance
the insures are canceiing you when renwel comes up.
Class action lawsuits have been filed and are going forward. If you have this problem seek the adice of an attorney who is handling these cases. there is a veritable cottage industry growing up around these claims.
Below is an excerpt from the AAJ news brief. This is an email news feature from the American Association of Justice that I subscribe to.
The Bradenton (FL) Herald (10/8, Gagliano) reports, "In most cases, insurance companies are likely to reject claims over Chinese drywall and, in some circumstances, insurers will not renew policies." Filing a claim "over Chinese drywall damages may be the biggest risk factor for homeowners in terms of not being renewed. 'As long as no claims have happened, it shouldn't be a problem,' [Alden Weichel, president of Bradenton Insurance], said. 'If a claim has come out it could face nonrenewal
On the front page of its Business Day section, the New York Times (10/8, B1, Wayne) reports that hundreds of lawsuits from homeowners affected by Chinese drywall "are piling up in state and federal courts, and a consolidated class action is moving forward in Louisiana before Judge Eldon E. Fallon of Federal District Court, who will begin hearing cases in January."
But "whether the Florida builders who brought the class-action lawsuit could ever collect on any future judgment remains unclear, because of the difficulty of gaining jurisdiction and enforcing rulings against foreign companies, especially in China." The Times notes that insurance companies "have become a popular target of lawsuits over their refusal to pay claims filed by homeowners and home builders, stating that their policies do not cover problems caused by pollutants."
Here is the problem with the drywall. Chinese drywall has been shown to emit sulfuric gases that cause respiratory problems and symptoms such as itchy eyes and nose bleeds. Homeowners also have reported corrosion to electrical components such as air conditioning units and appliances.
This month, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, whose investigation into Chinese drywall is the largest in its history, will release the results of a study to determine why the drywall is causing the problem, and what kind of remediation programs might be effective.
Already, the commission has sent six investigators to Chinese gypsum mines and to meet with the government there. The Chinese government’s counterpart to the federal safety commission sent two of its experts here to inspect affected homes.
The commission is also making sure that no more Chinese drywall comes into the country.
Investigators are finding that getting scientific data, establishing legal accountability and following a supply chain is difficult when so many drywall sheets — millions in all were brought into the United States — were simply marked “Made in China,” providing no clues to their actual source. The drywall was brought in because United States supplies ran low, not as a cost-saving measure for builders.
One target of the lawsuits is Knauf Plasterboard Tianjin, a German company with manufacturing plants in China that supplied about 20 percent of the Chinese drywall brought into the United States.
Here are links to a firm handling Chines Drywall
http://www.hausfeldllp.com/
Hausfeld LLP, Levin Fishbein and Colson Hicks – the three firms that filed the first major Chinese drywall class action (Vickers v. Knauf Gips, et al.,) in the Southern District of Florida – announced that they have expanded the scope of litigation and filed the first statewide defective drywall class actions on behalf of Virginia and North Carolina residents negatively impacted by defective drywall in their homes.
There is also an investigation starting on drywall made in the United States.
If you think you have a drywall problem you may want to consider contacting one of these firm directly.

Cincinnati Social Security Disability Attorney Explains the Application Process
Social Security Disability Application Process
The application process for social security disability mystefies many. However the inital process is relatively simple. Its actually winning your social security disability case that's difficult.
The easy part is to call social security at 1-800-772-1213 and ask them to send you the forms to fill out for a social security disability as well as an ssi claim. Then you want to make an appointment with them to bring in the forms to your local office. That way you are sure Social security has your disability application on file.
Then within 3-9 months you will be allowed or denied. If you are denied you have 60 days to file an appeal. You may want to consider hiring a social security disability attorney if you get denied.
As a personal injury attorney I can tell you that I always counsel my seriously injured clients to consider filing for social security disability if there is a chance they will not be able to work at any job for one full year. If they get back to work before that great. But if not they at least have a head start on getting awarded benefits if they are able to show that they could not perform sustained gainful employment for one full year.

Workers Compensation Trap That Could Ruin your Personal Injury Case
A recent case in Ohio set up what I call the workers compensation trap. A lady had been injured by inhaling toxic fumes from an ingredient to make instant popcorn. She filed a personal injury product liability claim against the manufacturer of the toxic substance.
She also filed a workers compensation claim. She lost her workers compensation claim as they said she did not prove this substance caused her lung problem. She failed to appeal the case into court and therefore her workers compensation claim was over.
Unfortunately her personal injury product liability claim was now over also. This is because the Appellate court said the product liability defendant could use the loss of her workers compensation case against her since it was essentially the same issue and it had already been decided.
Below is a video I prepared about this problem and what to do.
