A construction accident that occurred near New Market, Maryland on the morning of November 14th, 2011 left 37-year-old worker David Garcia dead in an area hospital, according to the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office.
Garcia was run over by a skid loader at Harland J. Shoemaker and Son, Inc. headquarters. Shoemaker and Son is a New Market-based contractor. Garcia was transported to Shock Trauma in Baltimore, where he was pronounced dead shortly before 12:30 p.m. according to Cpl. Scott Blundell.
A skid loader is similar to a Bobcat in size, and is a small vehicle that can be used with attachments for jobs such as lifting or grading. At the time of the accident, details were sketchy; the cause of the accident was unknown. Investigations were ongoing by the Maryland Occupational Safety and Health Agency (OSHA) in to the cause of the accident.
Construction site accidents are extremely common; in fact, those who work in the construction industry are at a much greater risk of being seriously or even fatally injured in the workplace due to the nature of the job. Heavy machinery and equipment are often the cause of accidents, as was demonstrated in this tragic accident.
Workers often use Bobcats, cranes, scaffolding, ladders, and other potentially dangerous tools and equipment in their work. Some accidents are related to faulty or ill maintained equipment, while others are injured in falls from scaffolding or multi-level buildings. Construction workers should always be well trained regarding safety, and contractors are responsible for ensuring the safety measures are put in place. However, far too many accidents still take place each year in this industry.

Have you lost a substantial portion of your investments in past years following the freezing of auction rate securities? If you are one of the many who have been misled by a stockbroker or financial advisor, a skilled auction rate securities attorney may be able to help you recoup some or all of your losses.
Many clients have experienced a loss since 2008, when funds were frozen in the ARS market which ultimately collapsed. You may have been misled to believe that you were investing in a safe alternative to actual cash, only to find that you could not withdraw money from your account. You trust your stockbroker or financial advisor to give you sound advice and make good investments for you, but this is unfortunately not always the case. In this situation, you need a reputable auction rate securities attorney who understands the often complex laws of fraud.
Thousands of individuals invested in corporate or municipal long-term bonds, some as far back as the 1980s when it seemed a smart investment; years later, in 2008, the auctions regularly failed to produce a sufficient number of buyers, and the auctions eventually failed leaving you, the bondholder, with illiquid securities and unfavorable interest rates. Ultimately, the market collapsed, and now you find that the investment wasn’t such a good idea after all. What can an auction rate securities lawyer do?
An experienced attorney who focuses primarily on investment and securities fraud will work aggressively to hold fraudulent brokers accountable. You trust your broker to offer sound investment advice, and now you have lost a sizeable portion of your assets because you did invest in corporate or municipal long-term bonds. While you may believe it is simply a lesson learned and nothing can be done, a skilled auction rate securities lawyer will work to uncover the injustice that you have suffered, and help recover your losses.
Unfortunately, many good people are enticed by their brokerage firms that certain investments are sound, when actually they are not. As an investor, you may not have realized the risks involved in making this type of investment, and now you find that you have lost money and have no idea if there are options for you to attempt to right the wrong. Leave the legal guidance to a capable auction rate securities litigation attorney who will work to protect your rights and hold those responsible for your losses accountable for their actions.
On Friday, October 7th, a New York man was killed after being run over by a piece of equipment at a construction site at the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown. The accident occurred around 7:30 in the morning. John J. Hanson, a Castleton, NY resident was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident according to a Berkshire District Attorney’s news release.
The construction accident happened at 225 South Street at the location of the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute. Hanson, who was 82 years old, was a subcontractor and was reportedly affiliated with a soil testing company in Castleton; authorities did not release much information about Hanson at the time of the accident.
Little information was released regarding the accident, other than Hanson was apparently struck by a piece of construction equipment and run over. Investigations are ongoing by the Williamstown and state police, as well as OSHA. The art institute is undergoing expansion. Hopefully, more details will be forthcoming as investigations continue in the coming days and weeks.

Did you know car accidents comprise a majority of personal injury claims in the United States. It is not surprising that according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that every 10 seconds someone in the U.S. is involved in a car accident.
After an accident here are some steps a person should take. This information can be invaluable.
1. Stay at the scene of the accident. (The only exception is if you are hit by another car in a deserted place
and it may be unsafe for you to get out. In that situation, drive to the nearest police station and report
the accident.)
2. Check to make sure everyone in the accident is alright; and, if necessary, get medical attention for them.
3. You may need to call the police if there is significant property damage, physical injury, or death. If police officers arrive at the scene of the accident, ask that they file a police report and get their names and badge numbers.
4. Exchange necessary information. Talk to the drivers of any other vehicles involved in the accident. Determine that everyone is O.K. Get their names, phone numbers, addresses, drivers’ license numbers, and license plate numbers. If there are any passengers in the cars; get their names, phone numbers, and addresses as well.
5. If possible, talk to any witnesses and ask them what they saw. Get their names, phone numbers, and addresses too. Write down what they told you.
6. As soon as possible contact your insurance company and tell them you’ve been in an accident. Cooperate with them and do not lie about anything. Be able to explain to them the situation in a clear and concise manner.
7. Keep track of your medical treatment.
8. Take pictures of your vehicle after the accident. If you have before pictures of your car use those also.
9. Get a property damage valuation from your insurance company. If you are not satisfied, get two estimates for the repair of your car yourself.
10. Only discuss the accident with your attorney, your insurance company, and the police.
11. If you are offered an early settlement offer, be wary. Don’t settle a claim until you know you will be fully compensated for all your injuries.

Many people invest in stocks, bonds, and other securities in order to gain financially and prepare for a comfortable future. However, people lose their money every day due to fraud and dishonest or deceptive brokers and financial advisors. Do you need a securities fraud attorney, and how can you know whether you do?
It’s often hard for an investor to know whether something is amiss, or if what is happening to them is simply par for the course, so to speak. When you experience significant investment loss and really don’t understand why, it’s time to consult with a securities fraud lawyer. An experienced attorney who works in the area of securities investment is capable of providing you with the answers you need, and will work vigorously to uncover the truth. He/she will be skilled in securities litigation and arbitration, and capable of determining which action will be most effective in your individual situation.
Even though it may look as though you have suffered substantial loss and there is no solution, many investors have been able to recover a portion or all of their losses after hiring a competent securities fraud attorney. An investment fraud lawyer typically works only in this often complex and complicated area of the law, providing the skill, knowledge and vigorous approach needed to secure positive results for their clients.
A securities fraud attorney is familiar with federal and state laws that are constantly changing; he or she can advise you on legal options that are most appropriate for your individual situation. A compassionate lawyer can assist you with gathering the documentation and other evidence that will help you prove that fraud may have occurred, and with determining how your investment requests were carried out, if in fact they were at all. Unfortunately, there are many stockbrokers and financial advisors today that cannot be trusted. For the investor, this can mean devastating financial losses.
The legal process can be overwhelming, particularly when it comes to issues related to securities and investment fraud. Those who you trust with your money are often experts at “covering up” their tracks; you may not realize that your stockbroker or advisor has been deceptive for months or even years. When you do realize or suspect that something is wrong, you have no idea where to turn or if there is anything you can do. A highly regarded securities fraud lawyer is never intimidated, and will work aggressively to help you recover some or all of your losses.

On August 31st, three construction site workers were seriously injured when a support structure gave way at the site where the three men were working. The accident occurred in San Francisco’s Dogpatch neighborhood shortly before 8:00 a.m. Workers were pouring concrete and were on the roof of a six-story structure when the accident took place.
According to authorities, the three workers were in a stairwell and fell at least three stories after the support structure failed. They were taken to San Francisco General Hospital, where two of the workers remained in serious condition two days after the accident occurred. On September 2nd a hospital spokeswoman stated that the third worker’s condition had been upgraded to fair. A fourth worker sustained minor injuries after attempting to assist those who fell at the time of the collapse.
At the time of the accident the cause remained unclear. According to a spokeswoman for the California Division of Occupational Health and Safety, CAL/OSHA crews had been to the site two times within the previous six months and saw no apparent problems during those visits. The investigation in to what caused the support structure to fall is expected to take several months.
The construction site where the accident took place is located at 19th and Illinois Streets. When firefighters responded to the scene, the three workers were covered in concrete that had not yet hardened according to fire Battalion Chief Charles Crane. The construction workers were working at the Potrero Launch project which is a high-rise that will offer retail stores on the ground floor with residential units located on upper levels.
The injured workers were employed by Nibbi Brothers General Contractors according to California Division of Occupational Health and Safety spokeswoman Patricia Ortiz.

Have you been charged with driving under the influence, also known as “DUI”? If you have, you need an experienced DUI attorney on your side. No longer is it true that drunk driving is a minor offense. Whether you’re guilty or not, a good Indiana DUI attorney (http://www.indianacriminallawyers.com/Indianaduiattorney.htm) can help you make sure your rights are protected, so that the outcome is as fair and as positive for you as possible.
How should you handle things if you get pulled over on suspicion of DUI?
If you’re pulled over for a DUI, you’ll be given a variety of field sobriety tests that will tell the officer whether or not you should be arrested for suspicion of drunk driving. He or she may also ask you to take a breathalyzer test, to determine whether or not you have any alcohol on your breath. If test results show you to be driving under the influence, you’ll be taken into custody on suspicion of DUI. If you are taken into custody, cooperate fully and do as you’re told, but invoke your Miranda rights once they’re read to you and don’t say anything to the police. Invoke your right to an Indiana DUI attorney right away, and then retain the services of a reputable lawyer. This will help make ensure your rights are protected from the very start. He or she will review your case and will be able to tell you what to do next.
What a good DUI attorney can do for you
Especially if you’ve never been pulled over for a DUI (or even been in trouble) before, you may be frightened and have no idea where to turn. Drunk diving penalties can be very severe, even for first-timers. A good Indiana DUI lawyer (http://www.indianacriminallawyers.com/) will help calm your fears and represent you throughout the process, so that your rights are completely protected and you’re less likely to be charged for something you didn’t do. Without a good attorney, you may be asked to plead guilty to something you are not guilty of, or the charges may be more severe than they have to be.
What a qualified Indiana DUI attorney cannot do for you
No DUI attorney, no matter how good, can guarantee you that you won’t be charged or that those charges will be dismissed. If you have been charged with DUI, you may be found guilty. However, if you’re not guilty, you are much more likely to have the charges dropped if you retain the services of a good Indiana DUI attorney. And if you are guilty, the charges may be less severe than they would be if you didn’t have a good attorney at your side.

Skilled Seattle bankruptcy attorneys know how to secure the best possible outcome, often leading clients on the path to financial freedom.
Credit cards may be the problem, or you may be underwater in your mortgage, suspecting that any time your home will be taken away. Creditors are ringing your phone off the hook; every day there are threatening notices or bills from collection agencies in the mail. Sound familiar? Experienced Seattle bankruptcy lawyers offer you the guidance and skilled legal counsel necessary to put your life back on track.
It’s very frightening when you face the possibility that your wages may be garnished or that the IRS may levy your bank account – not to mention embarrassing.

Has this happened to you? You’re driving down the road, there’s no traffic around you, it’s an open stretch of highway, and you crank up your tunes and let the music carry you along. You’re feeling good, until you hear sirens behind you; you glance down at the speedometer. With a sinking heart, you realize that you’ve probably been speeding. You pull over, wondering how many hundreds of dollars this is going to cost you. This is where a Kansas City traffic violations attorney can help.
Making sure of a fair outcome
Whether your traffic violation is a speeding ticket or something else, it’s useful to retain the services of an experienced traffic violations attorney even if you think you’re at fault. One reason is that with a speeding ticket, for example, police officers’ radar equipment can be inaccurate, so that you’re charged for a higher rate of speed than you were actually going. Or, you may dispute the officer’s findings entirely, sure that you were not speeding at all. In either case, a Kansas City traffic violations attorney can help make sure your rights are protected; he or she can help you navigate the process accurately, so that the outcome is as fair as possible.
Navigating the court process
It can be very easy to simply “go along with the motions,” letting the court process carry you along and simply doing what you’re told. However, especially if you’re not familiar with the court process at all, you can unwittingly make a mistake that will make your situation even worse. By hiring a Kansas City traffic defense attorney to represent you, you’ll make sure that your rights are protected; just as importantly, you’ll make sure that all the requisite “i’s” are dotted and all “t’s” crossed so that you’ll make no mistakes that could get you in even more trouble.
Thorough investigation of the circumstances
Your Kansas City traffic violations attorney will thoroughly investigate your case in order to determine what actually happened. Even if you are at fault, your attorney can make sure your rights are protected so that due process is met. And if you’re not at fault, you’ll of course need a Kansas City traffic violations attorney to represent you so that the charges are completely dismissed. Even if there are circumstances where charges won’t be completely dismissed, it’s very possible that your attorney can get them reduced so that lasting consequences of the traffic violations are as minimal as possible.

If you are a plaintiff involved in a lawsuit, particularly a personal injury lawsuit, you may be curious as to what settlement loans are and how they work. Simply state, a settlement loan is a loan given against your pending lawsuit settlement. You may or may not be aware of the fact that these types of lawsuits can often take months or even longer to settle, which can definitely put you in a financial bind. Settlement funding is a process whereby if approved, you can get the money you need to pay your bills and everyday household expenses.
Unlike conventional loans, settlement loans do not require background or credit checks, employment verification and other details in order for a plaintiff to qualify. Since you are “borrowing” money against your own potential settlement, your pending lawsuit is your collateral. The process is non-recourse, which essentially means that in the off chance you do not win your lawsuit, you owe nothing to the settlement funding company. You only repay the money if you do win.
Settlement loans are also a “fast” way to get the money you need right away. Generally speaking, the application can be submitted, approved and you could have your money in hand within 24 hours. Whether or not you qualify depends only on the details surrounding your lawsuit, which your lawyer will submit to the settlement funding company.
How much money is available with settlement loans? This all depends upon how much you expect to win. Many companies offer 10% of what your lawsuit is actually worth, so if you expect to win $75,000 you may be approved for approximately $7,500. However, how much you are entitled to depends upon the litigation financing company you choose and what their guidelines are.
When you have suffered injuries that are serious enough to require you to be off work for a substantial amount of time, it can be a big blow financially. While you are waiting for your lawsuit to settle, your medical expenses continue to mount while the income coming in to your household continues to decline. Settlement loans are designed for those in this situation, where fighting for your rights becomes tough due to your financial worries. If settlement funding sounds like a possible solution to your problems, learn more online or talk with your lawyer about the process.
If you have been injured due to another party’s negligence, never let them get away with it. Settlement loans help you level the playing field against those who have wronged you, and the insurance companies.
If you have been arrested for or accused of a crime, do you need the services of an Indiana criminal defense attorney (http://www.indianacriminallawyers.com/indianacriminaldefenseattorney.htm)? Yes, you do. You may believe that you don’t need a lawyer or feel that you cannot afford one. Whatever the reason, your future looks bleak without the legal guidance and representation a skilled Indiana criminal defense lawyer can provide.
Depending upon how serious the charges are against you, steep fines, a criminal record and time in prison are a few of the penalties you may be facing. A competent Indiana criminal defense attorney will work to have the charges against you dismissed; when that is not possible, your lawyer can often have the penalties against you reduced so that the impact to your life is lessened.
It is highly likely that you do not have a clear understanding of either the laws or the criminal justice process. That being said, you cannot use your ignorance of the law as your defense. A qualified Indian criminal defense lawyer with in-depth understanding of the laws and the criminal justice system can use his knowledge to protect your rights, reputation and future.
If you suspect you are under investigation and have not been charged with a crime, it is to your advantage to consult with a reputable Indiana criminal defense attorney.

If you’re considering a vacation or secondary home so that you can get away from the city on occasion, you may be thinking about a Catskill cabin. You’re not quite convinced yet, and perhaps weighing the pros and cons. Before you go out and buy an old cabin that is decades old, learn why you may want to re-think that decision.
To begin with, a Catskill cabin offers every bit of the charm and old-time character you find with older cabins – but you won’t have the headaches often associated with older home. Why pour money into a homestead that may require new plumbing and electrical wiring? What if the wood is rotting or the foundation cracked? There are many reasons that people love to buy older homes, but there are just as many reasons that you should consider a newer home that offers all of the old-fashioned goodness of those that are older.
Here is the short list of what you will find in a Catskill cabin, so that you can make comparisons.
Wide-plank wood floors
Shaker-style kitchen cabinets
Exposed salvaged wood beams
Old-school radiators, wood stoves
Stone fireplaces
Claw-foot bathtubs
Lots of windows
Wrap-around porches
Security systems
Whole-house audio
And that’s just the beginning! A Catskill cabin offers all of the charm and old-fashioned appeal you would have found in those of a century ago. Of course, the pristine landscapes have much to do with the charm. Upstate New York offers the breath-taking Catskill Mountains, and the lakes are too numerous to even count. Gently rolling hills offer forest for cover, so you can enjoy living in peaceful, private surroundings wherever you choose to buy or build.
When you think of a cabin most people tend to think of smaller, cozy spaces. While it is true that you can buy or build a tiny little Catskill cabin that offers intimate spaces, you may prefer more spacious surroundings, say 1,500 square feet or so if you have a larger family or just enjoy wide open spaces.
Whether atop a hill in the middle of the woods or at lake’s edge, a Catskill cabin simply cannot be matched in terms of old-fashioned appeal, quality and location. Before you spend your money on an old home, give it plenty of thought. A mere 90 or so miles from the city, you can enjoy a quiet rural life and enjoy beautiful countryside anytime you like without having to drive for hours on end.
In reality, lawsuit loans aren’t “loans” at all; they are a cash advance against a pending lawsuit settlement. What is the different between settlement funding and a conventional loan that you would typically obtain from a bank? Plenty. If you have been injured and are involved in a lawsuit, you may need to consider lawsuit loans if you find that you are running in to financial difficulties while fighting for your rights. Here are a few things you should know.
When you are involved in a lawsuit where you are hoping to win compensation for injuries you have suffered, you may be put off by “stall” tactics. Insurance companies also do not pay you what you are entitled to. Meanwhile, you find that while you are waiting – and waiting, sometimes for months or years, it’s getting difficult if not impossible to pay the bills. Settlement loans provide a way for you to get the money you desperately need right now, so that you can live normally and avoid financial disaster while waiting for your lawsuit to settle.
How is settlement funding different from a conventional bank loan? First off, banks require you to have assets that can be used as collateral in exchange for the money. They also typically have you repay the money in monthly installments, so you have another bill added to your already long list of monthly obligations. With lawsuit loans, you are given money against your pending settlement so there is no other collateral. Additionally, you only repay the money when you have won and have your money. If your lawsuit does not end in your favor, you do not repay the money, whereas you would be required to repay the money regardless with a conventional loan.
Also, unlike conventional loans, lawsuit loans are easy to apply for. Your lawyer simply fills out the application which requires only information regarding your lawsuit – no credit checks, background or employment verifications or other details. Once submitted to the settlement funding company, your information is reviewed right away. If you are approved, you have access to your money the very next day. How much you may qualify for depends upon the amount you expect to win in your lawsuit. Generally speaking, lawsuit loans are given in amounts that vary from hundreds of dollars to hundreds of thousands.
Why let those responsible for your injuries ruin your life through their stall tactics while you are suffering, wondering how you will pay the bills? Insurance companies are little help, and usually under compensate injury victims. Lawsuit loans are an easy alternative and allow you to get the money you badly need to pay attorney fees, medical expenses and other costs right away so that you can get on with life and continue to fight your battle. Learn more about settlement funding today, and decide whether it may be a solution to your money worries.
Unfortunately, shoplifting in Indiana (and other states as well) has become increasingly common, as the economy continues to take a nose-dive and people feel that the only way to get those items they need or want is to take them in an illegal manner. Because of this trend, businesses are taking aggressive steps to ensure that merchandise is not leaving their store that is not paid for. This means that corporate America is being tough on those who decide to shoplift by bringing charges against those individuals.
Shoplifting in Indiana (http://www.indianacriminallawyers.com/Indiana/indianatheftpage.htm) not only affects the one who gets caught, it affects all of us. In down economic times, many retailers find that so much merchandise is leaving the store through shoplifting that they are facing crisis, sometimes even bankruptcy. This is why law enforcement and business owners are really cracking down on those who choose to shoplift – and the penalties are harsh, so be forewarned.
Shoplifting doesn’t only involve physically removing an item from its owner without paying for it. Shoplifting can also include paying for merchandise by using methods that you know are no good such as a hot check, or through switching tags on merchandise so that you are paying a lower price for the item you want. Any method you use to “steal” money that is rightfully the owner’s is considered shoplifting.
Not only may you be facing charges for shoplifting in Indiana, you will have a criminal record if convicted. Being a convicted felon is no picnic in the park; you’re humiliated, embarrassed and your reputation may be ruined. Finding (or keeping) employment may be a problem, not to mention the steep penalties and possible jail time you may face.
For these reasons business owners, law enforcement and prosecutors have made it their business to catch and prosecute those who are suspected of shoplifting in Indiana. Now, even if you are a first-time offender, you could be facing a bleak future without the assistance of a skilled Indiana shoplifting attorney. What once paled in comparison with other crimes is now a serious offense, one that can forever change your life.
Before you consider shoplifting in Indiana, consider what you may be facing before you steal items that belong to someone else. Is it really worth ruining your life and reputation? If you go ahead with your plans and you get caught, keep in mind that without an experienced Indiana shoplifting attorney, you are “up a creek without a paddle” so to speak.

Without the benefit of a competent Kansas City personal injury lawyer, an individual who suffers injuries due to another party’s carelessness or negligence will likely never get the full compensation they deserve. When you become injured, it is your burden to prove that the other party in some way caused your injuries. This can be a tough task to tackle without a knowledgeable Kansas City personal injury attorney on your side.
Most people watch television or movies and have a simplified idea in mind of what a lawyer actually does. In most peoples minds, a lawyer argues a case in court. There is much more to it than that; in fact, many cases never end up in court because an agreement is reached before things escalate to that level. Personal injury lawsuits are often complex and require the knowledge and skill of a lawyer who understands how to represent the interests of their client.
What does a Kansas City personal injury lawyer really do? Depending upon the seriousness of the injuries and the complexity of the case, a skilled lawyer may not only advise the client and explain the process so that he/she has a clear understanding of what to expect, he/she may compile an incident report, talk to any witnesses to the incident, interview law enforcement, view any video that may be available, and determine how much the client may be eligible to in regards to compensation.
It is really very difficult for the average person to prove another party’s guilt. An aggressive Kansas City personal injury attorney will do whatever it takes to prove that another person, corporation, manufacturer or supplier is responsible, and that they must be held accountable for their actions. Many people believe that if they are injured, the insurance will take care of them. This is absolutely untrue, as insurance companies typically under compensate injury victims.
Injury victims are often entitled to not only compensation of costs related to their injuries, but pain and suffering and in some instances punitive damages. Unless you are an expert in the law of personal injury, never attempt to represent yourself. You are the victim, and you deserve every penny you have coming to you.
If you have been injured in a car wreck, because of medical malpractice or in any other way that was not your fault, put your future in the capable hands of an experienced, skilled Kansas City personal injury lawyer who has reached thousands of successful verdicts for clients in the past.
