The issue of traumatic brain injuries in auto accidents made national news after Dale Earnhardt Jr. announced he would sit out a pair of races after back-to-back concussions at crashes in Kansas and Talladega.
Our Lawyers understand such injuries are far from uncommon
“You know your body and how your mind works, and I knew something was just not quite right. I decided to just try to push through and work through it,” Earnardt Jr. said according to USAToday. Earnhardt Jr. was little more than a rookie, and driving just in front of his late father in the 2001 Daytona 500, when Dale Earnhardt Sr. was killed after slamming into the Turn 4 wall on the last lap. Cause of death was a basilar skull fracture, caused when his head, propelled by the velocity of the collision, snapped forward in the accident.
NASCAR has since made many safety improvements, including a next-generation car that moves the driver toward the center, a head-and-neck restraint device and soft wall technology. However, the risk of concussions and other traumatic brain injuries has not abated.
Trick or treat months are the deadliest term with regard to pedestrian injuries in Southern Los angeles.

Hallow’s eve season is the deadliest season with regard to pedestrian injuries in Santa Ana and elsewhere in Southern California.
While crossing at an intersection is the safest approach, it is also not surprisingly where most of the accidents happen. Pedestrians need to make eye contact with motorists and should be especially mindful of vehicles turning into the crosswalk from an adjacent street.
Dog bites in at on the job as a post man in Orange County are another overlooked risk. While they can occur anytime of the year, Halloween can be a dangerous mix of treats, strangers, darkness, unexpected sights and loud sounds. When the result is a spooked animal, a serious dog bite injury can occur. As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports, about 4.5 million people are bitten by a dog each year. About 1 million will require medical attention and more than 30,000 will undergo reconstructive surgery.
These injuries are also most likely to impact small children — with those ages 5 to 9 more likely than adults to receive medical attention in the wake of a dog attack. In many cases, the dog is a neighbor’s pet or the pet of a relative of family friend. In such cases, an experienced injury attorney can work in as amicable a manner as possible to file a claim against the homeowner’s insurance policy. Filing a claim can protect you in the event of medical complications, including infections or scaring. In cases involving children, emotional issues may also present themselves and can include isolation or irrational fear of animals.
Whether a motorist, a dog owner, a parent or a young trick-or-treater, we can all do our part to help reduce the risk of injury during the spookiest time of the year.
