Fatal auto accidents happen fast, especially car crashes involving teenagers. But what if there was a way to save lives? What if something could be done to save 66 lives in Ohio, 34 in Pennsylvania and 21 in West Virginia each year? Sound far fetched? It’s not as difficult as you might think. According to the National Safety Council, if each state adopted seven simple rules for teenage drivers, they could save that many lives each year in all three states. Nationwide, such rule changes would result in more than 2,000 lives saved every year.
Auto accidents caused by teenage drivers happen far too often. Sometimes, they’re not paying attention. Or they’re driving too fast. They may even be using a cell phone.

Teenagers literally think differently. Increasing scientific evidence has found that teens’ brains are physically different from adults and still developing. That’s why teenagers often do things that make people think, “What were they thinking?”
That’s why the National Safety Council supports states adopting seven specific rules for teenage drivers aimed at reducing the number of auto accidents. These rules include states waiting until drivers are 16 years old to issue a learner’s permit and 16½ years old to issue an intermediate license.
So many factors come into play in an auto accident. Knowing what to do can be extremely complicated. You can’t afford to take chances. Put your trust in a law firm that demands justice.

Motorcycles are without a doubt exhilarating to ride, but the risk of injury or death is significant compared to the risks for occupants in cars or trucks. Motorcycle riders are 300 percent more likely to be injured in an accident than an occupant of a car involved in the same accident, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration.
At Recht Law Offices, our motorcycle accident lawyers know first-hand how bike crashes can destroy lives and welcome any efforts that may lead to a reduction in the number of injuries or deaths on the road. We look forward to finding out the results of an interesting new study that will focus on the safety of motorcyclists.
The study examining the causes of motorcycle accidents will be conducted on the other side of the globe – at Monash University in Australia. According to the Herald Sun in Australia, 1,100 people, including survivors of motorcycle crashes, will be recruited over the next year and a half. Researchers will analyze contributing factors in motorcycle accidents such as speed and the physical environment. The new research is being touted by Australian officials as the most comprehensive motorcycle accident studies every attempted globally.
According to the Herald Sun, Transport Minister Terry Mulder said the study will look at what went wrong for riders involved in a crash at a specific site and what went right for those who traveled through the same site.
The researchers will directly approach injured riders admitted to hospitals after motorcycle crashes. They also will attempt to contact people who successfully negotiated a spot where another motorcyclist crashed by photographing license plates and recording the speed of the riders who did not crash. Monash University announced that results are expected toward the end of 2013.
If you were injured in a motorcycle accident or you lost a loved one in a motorcycle wreck, you know first-hand how devastating an accident can be.

Currently, 34 states nationwide prohibit texting while driving. Pennsylvania is considering doing the same. No such laws exist in Ohio. As for West Virginia, it prohibits drivers under 18 years old to use a cell phone. Distracted driving killed 5,474 people 2009 nationwide and injuries thousands more every year. The main reason why drivers have accidents while texting is their reaction time decreases and they’re not paying close attention to the road. According to a recent scientific study, drivers react twice as slow while texting. “It is frightening,” the researchers wrote, “to think of how much more poorly our participants may have performed if the driving conditions were more consistent with routine driving.”
