Many of our most serious injury claims arise from car accidents involving impaired drivers. Despite the ongoing education and police enforcement, far too many drivers continue to operate motor vehicles while impaired. The York Regional Police have recently announced the arrest of 15 drivers for impaired driving in less than 72 hours. The arrests occurred over the weekend between Friday, July 8, 2016, through Sunday July 10, 2016. Among the 15 arrested, were three that were involved in motor vehicle collisions.

Toronto Hit and Run Accident Lawyer Accidents are stressful any time, but they can be especially difficult in cases of hit and run accident. If you have been injured in a car accident caused by a negligent driver who has fled the scene and is never located, you may be wondering whether you have any recourse. Many victims of Ontario hit-and-run accidents believe that their options and sources for obtaining insurance coverage and compensation are limited to accident benefits.

Whatever you ride, make sure you take the time to completely know your motorcycle. No matter how well you understand rules of the road or riding technique, to be a truly safe rider it is also important to know your motorcycle very well. Unlike a car, a motorcycle is physically demanding of the operator. The motorcycle moves, turns and stops according to the riders skill and technique. Not all motorcycles are the same - turning, acceleration and stopping will differ. In order to operate the motorcycle at its optimum, the rider will have to adjust and ride according to the motorcycle. It can take a long time to completely know and appreciate a motorcycle, and that is why I am not a fan of lending or borrowing bikes. Some riders like to find large, empty parking lots and run the bike through the paces of turning, stopping and other maneuvers. This is a great way to get to know the bike, and it will make you a much safer rider. As an Ontario motorcycle accident lawyer, we are involved in investigating many serious motorcycle accidents. Even when another vehicle is at fault for an accident, knowing your motorcycle and its capabilities can help you avoid an accident or significantly reduce the impact. Enjoy the ride and be safe. |
