In April 2009, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that Bridgestone Americas Tire Operation (BATO) recalled select Bridgestone Exedra G850 G motorcycle tires, size 180/70R16 77H. These motorcycle tires were originally sold for 2008 and 2009 Triumph Rocket III Touring motorcycle models.

The tires may vibrate at low to moderate speeds. The defect creates a risk of injury or death to the driver and individuals surrounding the vehicle. Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the affected tires, contact Bridgestone for a free replacement of both front and rear tires at (800) 465-1904. The recall commenced in April 2009.

Personal Injury: Attorneys and You (1 out 3)

Friday, February 13th, 2009

Personal Injury Areas

Personal injury attorneys may appear to focus strictly on obtaining financial compensation for injuries and losses that are associated with negligence, ill intent, or defective products. In truth, personal injury attorneys can assist in several ways, including:

  • 1. Assess liability to help protect consumers and injured parties from further harm.
  • 2. Invest time and money into researching the circumstances surrounding personal
    injuries.
  • 3. Refer injured parties to medical providers with specialty expertise.
  • 4. Involve vocational resources for those that require a new occupation because of sustained injuries.
  • 5. File claims in court against liable parties.
  • 6. Defend valid claims.
  • 7. Negotiate for compensation in valid claims.

Personal Injury: The Assessment

The initial service provided by personal injury attorneys is to assess the validity of claims. Personal injury attorneys will determine a basis for liability once the circumstances surrounding the injuries are discovered through investigation.Yet, the ultimate determination for liability is under the control of a jury should a lawsuit be brought to trial.

Vehicle Accident Liability:

Vehicle accident liability may relate to accidents involving automobiles, motorcycles, buses, boats, and planes. This type of liability results when people are injured located either in or outside vehicles. Though the benefits provided by insurance companies vary among the states and in the choices made by consumers, insurance provides compensation for the damage of vehicles and personal injury that is the result of an accident.
Policy holders can elect to purchase liability insurance for property damage,liability insurance for bodily harm, collision coverage, and uninsured and under-insured motorists’ coverage to financially protect their own assets and that of injuries parties. As Bernard Suchocki, Attorney at Law, Fort Worth,Texas, explains, “A competent personal injury attorney will work with you and your medical professionals to achieve the best possible medical and legal results.”
