Interesting statistic: 80% of my clients………

March 20, 2008

This statistic is 3 years in the running. I fund a ton of personal injury lawsuits. In that arena, I have found that 80% of the cases I have advanced money on the plaintiff was rear ended WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP. They were either at a stop light or a stop sign and were collided into by vehicles going 40 mph or faster! Some of these were sever personal injury lawsuits that were caused by trucks - BIG trucks. Trucking accidents are actually on the rise.

I don’t tell you this so that the next time you are at a stop you fixate into your rear view mirror in fear, but it does pay to be aware of how accidents are happening.

Whomever you are that runs into to people while they are at a stop I have some good recommendations for you: DRIVE your vehicle. Don’t let it DRIVE you. Come to a stop BEFORE you put on make-up, talk on the phone, reach for the item in the dashboard, change the radio station, turn around and discipline your kiddo, go to sleep or anything else that doesn’t have anything to do with controlling your vehicle.

I’d like to see this personal injury stat drop.
