Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is sudden damage to the brain caused by a blow or jolt to the head. Vehicle accidents, pedestrian car injuries, bicycle accidents, and motorcycle crashes can be reasons a TBI happens. Injuries can range from mild concussions to severe permanent brain damage.
TBI signs and symptoms can be subtle and include headaches, sensitivity to sound and light, mental fogginess, and slow reaction times. Other impairments can be related to thinking, memory, movement, vision, hearing, emotional functioning, personality changes and even depression.
If TBI is left untreated, it can lengthen your recovery time lasting from a few days to the rest of your life. Appropriate treatment soon after the accident can help shorten the effects and disabilities from TBI.

Pedestrian vs vehicle accidents happen all too often. In 2018 over 6,000 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes across the US. Vehicles have a duty to look out for pedestrians, but pedestrians can protect their own safety by being aware as well. When crossing a street obey traffic signs and signals. Whether at an intersection or crosswalk, always keep your eyes and ears on the road. Crosswalks can give a false sense of protection. Never assume a vehicle sees you, always try and make eye contact with drivers as they approach. Make yourself visible by wearing bright clothing during the day and use flashlights and reflective clothing at night. Vehicles exiting driveways and parking lots may have you in their blind spot so be extra cautious. These are just some simple tips to remain safe and aware. See this link for additional information.

It seems like everyone loves to share details about their lives on social media these days. However, if you have a pending personal injury claim, you should consider taking a social media hiatus. Here’s why: https://bit.ly/2OoPIZT

RESULTS OF 2020 VEHICLE SAFETY SWEEP
In July 2020, U.S. and Canadian law enforcement agencies conducted “Operation Safe Driver Week” a driver-focused safety initiative aimed at curbing dangerous driver behaviors through interactions with law enforcement.
The boosted enforcement event resulted in more than 71,000 warnings and citations issued to drivers between July 12th and 18th, and was Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) first safety enforcement campaign of 2020. During the event, 3,681 officers from 55 U.S. and Canadian jurisdictions interacted with 29, 921 commercial vehicle drivers and 36,500 passenger vehicle drivers.
The most common citations for commercial drivers were speeding and driving too fast for conditions (2,339 citations and 3,423 warnings); citations and warnings were also issued for failure to wear a seat belt while operating a commercial motor vehicle, failure to obey a traffic control device, texting or otherwise using a hand-held phone while driving, and improper lane change. State and local driver violations were also given for certain observations made by officers during a traffic stop, like expired license plate tags, inoperative lamps, and mirror equipment violations.
Speeding remains the biggest problem for commercial vehicles, with 56.3% of all warnings and 50.2% of all citations given to commercial motor vehicle drivers. Prior year data (2017) showed that speeding caused 32% of all large truck-related fatal crashes, and 54% of passenger vehicle-related fatal crashes. Passenger vehicle drivers were cited for speeding more than six times as much as CMV drivers, and were given three times as many warnings and citations as CMV drivers for all infractions.
Passenger vehicle citations and warnings included speeding, (14,378 citations and 11,456 warnings); Failure to use safety belt (932 citations and 432 warnings); Possession/use/DUI/alcohol/drugs (452 citations and 51 warnings); failure to obey a traffic control device (399 citations); and improper lane change (273 citations).
Speeding increases the likelihood of being involved in a crash and the severity of injuries sustained by all road users in a crash. Most importantly, speeding is a driver behavior that is preventable.
“When commercial motor vehicles and passenger vehicles collide, no matter who was at fault, the results can be catastrophic, especially for the smaller and lighter passenger vehicle,” said John Samis, Delaware State Police sergeant and CVSA President. “Preventing crashes from happening requires every driver–commercial and personal–to be aware of how to safely share the road with other types of vehicles.”

Event Data Recorders, or EDRs, collect and store invaluable data when a motor vehicle collision occurs. These devices are not mandated by federal law in the United States. However, most manufacturers have voluntarily installed them on their vehicles because other countries do have such requirements. This means that most vehicles on American roads manufactured after 2012 have these devices installed. When a crash occurs, the information stored within the EDR can be used to establish liability for a motor vehicle accident in Boulder.
Check out this link for more information on Event Data Recorders in vehicles.
