Fire Prevention Week kicks off Oct. 4. “The focus this year is going to be on preventing cooking fires. As more and more people stay home, more and more people are cooking at home. The main thing is to be careful with your children when you do have your stove on, you know, if you’re boiling something, hot pans. Children are curious and, unfortunately, accidents do happen. Our message is just be very careful.”

Driving Tip: Whenever motorcycles slow down, they often let off on the throttle or downshift instead of outright braking, so you may not see a brake light that would let you know they are slowing down to make a turn or stop. Make sure you keep plenty of space between you and a motorcycle, providing about three or four seconds of following time. By giving them space, you allow motorcyclists and yourself room to maneuver safely.

What You Should Know About Wrongful Death Claims | The Green Law Firm
Train accident victims and their families are often left to suffer extreme financial losses, physical hardships, and emotional damages. Victims of train accidents range from passengers on the locomotive to pedestrians, railroad workers, and motor vehicle passengers. Given the nature of these types of accidents, it is rare that just one person is impacted. In most cases, an entire community is affected by a train accident.
Because of the amount of destruction and death train accidents cause, it is imperative you have an experienced train accident attorney by your side. In many cases, victims of train accidents must take on the railroad company or the company that employs the operator, which is no easy feat. We understand how stressful and overwhelming it may be to face the decision to pursue a train accident lawsuit, but the Green Law Firm is here you.
