Texas state lawmaker arrested for ambulance chasing

According to the Houston Chronicle, State Rep. Ron Reynolds was arrested yesterday for ambulance chasing.  This is a practice where lawyers unethically and illegally approach injury victims and try to get them to hire that lawyer for their case.  It is ironic that a state legislator would engage in this behavior, as the Texas Legislature recently enacted a civil law providing remedies to people who fall victim to this inappropriate practice.  We recently posted a video on the new Texas ambulance chasing law.  It would be interesting to see how this lawmaker voted on the ambulance chasing law that he is alleged to have violated?

We would like to thank Will for taking the time to sit down and talk with us about this part of the settlement process.

Military Doctors Are Misdiagnosing PTSD!

New questions are being asked about how military doctors are diagnosing PTSD.

Some people are saying that due to the cost of treatment it takes to treat brain injuries, doctors instead are giving military men false hope by saying that they have PTSD, when really they have a serious brain injury!

An example of this practice is Will Cook, a 22-year-old former U.S. army specialist. He lost part of his leg in Iraq and doctors believe that he is suffering from a traumatic brain injury, though military doctors said it was PTSD.

When Cook came home, his memory was not where it was. Retaining information was difficult for him and he drew blanks on words in the middle of sentences. He had anxiety and crippling headaches.

According to Cook, the military doctors didn’t give him all his options.

The military culture is so focused on the mission at hand and they have so many people in combat that they often don’t have time to investigate each patient.

Money can be a factor as well.

After Cook received more than 30 hyperbaric oxygen treatments for his brain, his headached are gone. He is retaining information better, his anxiety has gone down, and his memory has brightened.

Are Bicyclists Getting Harsher Punishment Than Drivers?

There’s no doubt that reckless bicyclists can be very dangerous, but are policemen becoming too involved with cyclists that they are overlooking distracted drivers?

Recent action has begun an uproar among the cycling community. The New York Police Department ticketed more cyclists than truck drivers last February and now, they say, they will be keeping track of all accidents involving cyclists. This means a full accident report.

Pedestrians get injured by cyclists every day, but drivers injure and kill people at a much higher rate than someone on a bicycle.

Every crash that has an injured person should be taken seriously and distracted bicyclists should be held accountable. However, dangerous drivers are constantly given free passes, free warnings, and constant forgiveness if they are driving recklessly on a highway. We've all seen it!

Around the country, police departments are consistently failing to properly investigate crashes involving cars and trucks.

When will we as a nation start to take dangerous driving seriously?
