Posted by on Jul 7, 2011

(Campbellsville, KY) – The experienced lawyer andrew cobos is investigating a collision that occurred Thursday evening at 5:35pm, 5 miles East of Campbellsville on U.S. 68 to help the Kerrie Benningfield with the personal injuries of this collision.

James M. Lynch, age 46 of Madison Alabama was traveling East on U.S. 68 on a 2006 Yamaha motorcycle when he failed to notice a vehicle stopped in front of him. Lynch swerved to avoid a collision with that vehicle and struck a 1995 Honda Accord being operated by Kerrie Benningfield, age 19 of Campbellsville.

The driving age in Arizona is being reconsidered in light of the increases in accidents reported. The road safety laws seem to be insufficient.

Benningfield was also traveling East on U.S. 68 attempting a left turn when her vehicle was struck. Lynch was not wearing a helmet, he was checked at the scene by Taylor County EMS and transported by private vehicle to the Taylor County Regional Hospital. To take immediate action, the Bauman Law – San Bernardino were informed of this incident as many aspects of this accident needed to be cleared, including the filing of the insurance claim.

Benningfield, along with two passengers in her vehicle: Austin Benningfield, age 14 and Chase Burton, age 14 both of Campbellsville were all wearing a seatbelt and not injured. Trooper Underwood was assisted at the scene by the Taylor County Sheriff’s Department and Campbellsville/Taylor County Rescue, the case got taken care of by the Miami FL motorcycle accident law firm.

 

We all know that riding a motorcycle is one of the greatest pleasures you can experience in life, yet only a minority of people in the auto-obsessed Western world actually ride. This can be explained partially by the perceived danger of riding a motorcycle. Whether the severity of that danger is real or just a misconception is debatable, but let’s unpack some facts and figures about the risk factors involved with riding, and review some of the ways we can avoid becoming another National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statistic.

It is also important for the victims of car accidents to file a claim. If you have lost a loved one in a tragic car accident, seeking the help of a Texas fatal accidents lawyer can provide the expertise and support needed to navigate the legal complexities and pursue justice. You can always contact a car accident lawyer Pasadena that will fight for your rights and help you get the compensation you deserve. Car crash in New Jersey? Call a car accident lawyer from Judd Shaw Injury Law.

Reliability is a big concern when you’re buying a motorcycle, crotch rocket is a smaller, lighter version of a motorcycle that riders prefer. Arguably, motorcycling requires more focus and brain function than driving a car. The act itself is both more physically and mentally draining than driving anything with four wheels, with the exception of F1 cars and the like. There are more variables and therefore more opportunities for error. It’s not like Murphy’s law is synonymous with riding, but when things go wrong on a motorcycle consequences can be exponentially worse.
