Motorcycle Accidents Increase Nationwide

Due to the increase in gasoline prices within recent months, the number of people taking to the road on their motorcycles is increasing nationwide. And due to the increased number of motorcycle riders on the highways of the United States, the number of fatal accidents, unfortunately, is increasing because motorcycle accidents tend to be more serious since motorcycles offer insufficient protection for riders. Even if the accident is a mild one, the injuries that result from a motorcycle accident tend to be more serious.

18 Wheeler Accidents

Out of nowhere, an 18 wheeler can cause catastrophic damage to an automobile and its passengers, but there is an attorney who can help by offering a free case evaluation for victims of truck accidents. Every year there are nearly half a million 18 wheeler accidents in the United States. In fact, virtually every one in eight traffic fatalities are due to a truck accident on the highway.

Truck accidents are usually due to several causes such as blind spots, brake failure, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or just careless driving habits. And the innocent victims of these accidents are left to pick up the pieces of their lives and try to return to a normal life, while the company responsible for their injuries may continue to hire irresponsible truck drivers who can later cause the same type of accident.

There are many laws that are designed to protect riders in automobiles who are victims of a truck or big rig accident. If you or a loved one is suffering due to the negligence of the driver of a truck or 18 wheeler, there are steps that can be taken to help you.

Mesothelioma/Asbestos Attorney

Attorneys Thurlow & Associates, P.C. continue to pursue mesothelioma cases throughout the country. The firm is located in Houston, Texas and can offer a preliminary consultation to clients located anywhere in the United States.

Brief History of Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos, a material present in many work environments such as construction, ship building, automotive and other manufacturing industries. Individuals with a history of extended asbestos exposure are at the highest risk for developing malignant mesothelioma.

Exposure to Asbestos

Even a small exposure to cancer-causing asbestos can result in malignant mesothelioma. However, mesothelioma has a latency of up to forty years. Many individuals previously exposed to asbestos are only now displaying symptoms, so the average age of mesothelioma victims is between 50 and 70 years.

Asbestos consists of tiny fibers which can find their way to the outside lining of the lung and damages the cells that pleura is made of. These fibers can also be carried on clothing, which makes them dangerous not only to the person exposed, but also to family members

Symptoms

Symptoms may include, but are not limited to, respiratory distress and a lasting cough and pneumonia. In addition, symptoms are often mistaken for less serious ailments, and many patients show no signs at all. Diagnosis is usually made by chest x-rays and CT scans.

Seek Medical Attention

Anyone with concerns should seek medical help.
