Pedestrians in The Crosswalk

November 28, 2011 | Comments Off

It is my experience that cars hit pedestrians at cross walk most often in one of two ways. The first is at the intersection. A driver wants to make a right turn, and to do so is looking to the left for oncoming traffic. Once traffic clears, the driver fails to look left, starts the turn and hits the pedestrian in the crosswalk.

If your car is not on fire, or if you are no longer in immediate danger, while in your car, do not move. Your body is in shock as a result of the crash.Your pulse is up, your blood pressure is up, your thoughts are not carefully ordered. Your body’s response to the impact may by, and probably is, masked by the shock condition.

I read in the paper today about the death of Ross Faris, the owner of Your Neighbor’s Garden, and former executive at Lilly. Immediately upon reading the piece, I was taken back to driving along Grandview Drive and seeing the little self help stand. It is one of those little “summer in Indy” memories that will always bring a smile to my face.

They tug at our heart strings, gripping your finger with their tiny mitts.  Looking at you with all the confidence that love provides.  You feel whole in ways you never experienced before. Unconditional love is a powerful thing.  I hear people lamenting the loss of the good old days when everyone wasn’t so concerned about [...]

In the last week, since school has been in session, I have had drivers race up to my back bumper and tailgate me from three feet behind, honk at me, yell at me and give me the finger, as he raced around me on the right, all because I was travelling at 25 miles per hour for 2 blocks.

We all know that motorcycles are on the road. We all know that a quick glance, without stopping is not enough to always see what is plainly there. A motorcycle has a bright headlight, it is plainly visible. Slow down, take a better look.

If you are a witness to someone being injured or are injured yourself it is important to get photographs or video of the scene of the injury at the time or as near the time of the event as possible.

Again, I was riding my bike to work today.  A part of my route gives me two options.  Neither option has bike lanes. The first option is to ride south on Pennsylvania Street from 16th street to Ohio.  Pennsylvania is a one way south with four lanes and is a busy artery into the city [...]

Yesterday, I was coming back to our serious injury offices in Indianapolis, from Richmond.  We just concluded a significant hearing. I was travelling west on I-70 near the Keystone interchange (Mile marker 83.5, just east of the I-65-I-70 split). At that location, I-70 is five lanes wide.  I was in the second lane from the [...]

We have spoken of them in the past, retention ponds.  You see them in every new development.  They are ponds purposely placed by builders to control water flow and flooding.  Sometimes they are attractive and sometimes they are scars in the ground, but always they are dangerous. Several months ago a teenager, leaving a party [...]

Ah spring is here and with it the sap is rising in the trees. What you may not know is that the tree sap escapes from the tree and falls to the ground. Not all the sap escapes of course, and what does escape is in particles small enough to escape our attention. So, why [...]
