It pays to be careful on the road to prevent any difficulties. If there’s a car running even though the “walk” sign is blinking, it’s best to refrain from walking and let the car pass. But if the situation seems unavoidable, it also helps to seek advice from the lawyer and discuss about the case you were in.<br /><br /><a href="http://khunterlaw.blogspot.com/2014/05/prominent-tacoma-dui-attorney-renews.html" rel="nofollow">Kim E.

If it was a light and you got hit by a car traveling perpendicular to your crossing, that would imply that they either ran the red light or had the right of way. Were there any witnesses other than you and the driver? Did you get the driver's license plate number, or did they stop to help you? <br /><br />I don't think having music playing on your phone without your headphones in would be a cause of concern b/c I assume you would have heard the car coming since phone speakers are not very loud. <br /><br />These are just my impressions, but I'd recommend consulting an attorney, and they can help you determine what the best course of action is. <br /><br />Good luck, and sorry about your accident!Carlessinokchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05530291812483241878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286844703685834774.post-80788253436543140212014-05-05T20:25:10.299-05:002014-05-05T20:25:10.299-05:00I was crossing the street and I checked both ways ...I was crossing the street and I checked both ways four times(since there is no crosswalk at the light) and didn't see anyone coming from any direction. I didn't spot the car until it was too late and I was hit in the leg. If I had my phone playing music, am I liable if I did not have headphones in my ear? The phone was zipped up in my jacket pocket if that helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286844703685834774.post-75707625178027183092014-04-24T08:14:24.730-05:002014-04-24T08:14:24.730-05:00http://ok.gov/ohso/Data/Crash_Data_and_Statistics/...http://ok.gov/ohso/Data/Crash_Data_and_Statistics/index.html<br /><br />This link has some good data you could work with, but it's not spatially located like the data I used.Carlessinokchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05530291812483241878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286844703685834774.post-18825313679129913762014-04-24T08:10:01.923-05:002014-04-24T08:10:01.923-05:00I got my data from the Oklahoma Department of Tran...I got my data from the Oklahoma Department of Transportation Safe-T database, which came in the form of GIS data. Shoot me an e-mail if you'd like to talk about your project, and I may be able to facilitate getting you the data. As far as sources go, I've interpreted that data for a report and could send that to you for you to use as source material.

I looked up your firm, and was surprised to see you're located in Vancouver. My wife and I have Vancouver in our mind for our future. Know any planning firms looking for a young and hard-working employee?? Just kidding, but seriously, Vancouver looks amazing.Carlessinokchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05530291812483241878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286844703685834774.post-17964099432460752602014-04-16T12:17:29.189-05:002014-04-16T12:17:29.189-05:00Reading the list from top to finish, I wouldn'...Reading the list from top to finish, I wouldn't know that you're not a lawyer!
