Pennsylvania law requires all drivers to have their vehicles inspected by a state-licensed inspection service facility each year. Some people consider the vehicle inspection process to be a hassle and/or a “money-grab” by the state. However, we all benefit from the law because it ensures that unsafe vehicles will be kept off of Pennsylvanis roads.

In these pages, our Panama City civil injury law firm has often referred to the split between the civil and criminal systems. The criminal system focuses on punishing offenders and the cases are brought by government authorities. Civil lawsuits, on the other hand, are brought by private parties seeking compensation for a wrong done by the defendant. Sometimes the criminal system's rules make it all but impossible for the criminal system to provide a sense of justice. This can stem from the tough… [read post]

There was a freak truck vs Dart train crash that happened in Dallas on May 30, 2013. A vehicle approaching one one side of the crossing either was blocking the arms path or struck one as they dropped, so they went back up on both sides. An approaching vehicle from the other side came out of some trees in what appears to be a blind crossing point for the tracks. The vehicle proceeded across and was struck by the train.

The deposition is the formal statement given by a party of a lawsuit. In many cases, it is the only time that a plaintiff has the opportunity to give his or her take on the events, without a lawyer speaking on his or her behalf.
