MADD Works to Curb Drunk Driving | Colorado Springs DUI Accident Lawyer

admin — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 17:36:27 +0000

Fox News reported this morning that the organization Mothers Against Drunk Driving is initiating an effort to connect people who have been arrested for Driving Under the Influence to people who have lost loved ones because they were involved in wrecks with drunk drivers. These connections are being made in an attempt to wake up people who drive drunk and alert them to the fact that if they continue to drive drunk they could end up killing someone. According to their website, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (or MADD as they are sometimes called) has been fighting against drunk driving for over 30 years. They call themselves “one of the most widely supported and well-liked non-profit organizations in America.” According to their website, MADD claims to serve “a victim or survivor of drunk driving every nine minutes.” In Colorado, someone is presumed to be driving over the influence if their blood alcohol level is above 0.08. Blood alcohol level can be measured by a roadside breathalyzer, or a person suspected of drunk driving can request a blood test. MADD reports that in the last 5 years there have been over 800 deaths in Colorado related to drunk driving, making injury as a result of DUI a serious threat to all Coloradans. If you’re out and you think maybe you’ve had too much to drink, stop and think about the consequences of getting behind the wheel. If you’ve been injured by a DUI driver, you have rights too. Drunk drivers don’t get out of being liable for your injuries just because alcohol may have clouded their judgment. If you have been injured by a drunk driver you may be able to collect compensation for property damage, medical expenses, therapy costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.

New Fitness Center For Neurological Patients | Colorado Brain Injury Attorney

admin — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 17:56:00 +0000

Englewood’s Craig Hospital has opened the PEAK center to provide advanced fitness care for neurological patients, according to the Denver Post. PEAK is an acronym for performance, exercise, attitude, and knowledge, and the center hopes to improve the fitness and health levels as well as the quality of life of patients with neurological injuries or disease. Candy Tefertiller, Craig’s Director of Physical Therapy, hopes that the facility can help people who lived active, healthy lifestyles before their injury or illness to maintain a sense of health and normalcy in their lives. Ms. Tefertiller was able to finance the program in part with a grant from the Craig H. Neilson foundation, and hopes to create a program similar to one that she helped create in Atlanta.

Neurological injuries, including traumatic brain injury (TBI), are very common in the United States. If you or a loved one have suffered TBI in an accident, consult with a Colorado Brain Injury Attorney as soon as possible to discuss your options.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), of the roughly 1.7 million people who suffer TBI annually around the country and right here in Colorado, about 275,000 are hospitalized, and many of these will need extensive physical therapy even after their release from the hospital. TBI have a number of causes, but falls and motor vehicle accidents account for over half of them, based on numbers reported by the CDC.

Traumatic brain injury is extremely serious, and the fact that it can take significant time before symptoms present makes it a very complicated injury. Victims of TBI often have trouble with insurance claims because of the apparent disconnection between the cause and the symptoms. If you or a loved one have suffered TBI, contact an experienced Brain injury attorney immediately to discuss your options. Lee Rosenbaum is a knowledgeable, aggressive attorney who can work with you, your insurance company, and the courts to ensure that your medical bills are taken care of, and to recover the compensation you deserve if your accident was caused by negligence.
