Jason Epstein, Washington Personal Injury Attorney and Founder of Teens Against Distracted Driving, recently published an article explaining a new distraction for drivers – surfing the Internet.

Seattle, Wash. – March 29, 2011 – Jason Epstein, Seattle personal injury and car accident attorney, recently published an article on his website, http://www.StraightTalkLaw.com, titled “Surfing While Driving.” In the article, Jason, discusses a new survey by State Farm Insurance that highlights a new disturbing trend – surfing the Internet while driving.  The survey found that 19% of drivers, mostly in their 30’s, said that they browsed the internet while driving.

“No doubt the increasing use of Smartphones that enable internet access is behind these numbers.  Because of everything these new devices can do, there are plenty of extra temptations that can cause more and more distracted driving incidents.

And that’s why more and more distracted driving car accidents are happening every year,” writes Jason.

In 2009, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation, 5474 wrongful deaths and 448,000 cases of personal injury resulted from distracted driving.

“In recent years, distracted driving has become more and more of a national – even international – issue.  Thousands of car accidents are caused every year by motorists who text while driving – many resulting in wrongful death and personal injury,” continues Epstein.

Jason Epstein, Washington Personal Injury Attorney and Founder of Teens Against Distracted Driving, recently published an article discussing The Driver Alcohol Detection Systems for Safety (DADSS) technology.

Seattle, Wash. – March 1, 2011 – Jason Epstein, Seattle personal injury and car accident attorney, recently published an article on his website, http://www.StraightTalkLaw.com, titled “New Hi-Tech Weapon Against Drunk Driving.” In the article, Jason, explains the differences between some of the drunk driving detection tools currently on the market, and how they have the potential to save thousands of lives.

Jason writes, “The most commonplace devices used today are the ignition interlock systems that require drivers to blow into a breath-tasting device before the car will start.  These systems are often mandated by judges for convicted drunk drivers.  However, ignition interlock systems are very intrusive to the everyday driver and would never gain widespread acceptance for usage in all vehicles. The DADSS, in contrast, is a passive technology system that measures blood alcohol content through two ways – either by analyzing the driver’s breath, or through the skin using special touch-based sensors that are placed either on steering wheels or door locks.”

“It’s estimated that over 10,000 wrongful deaths will occur this year as a result of car accidents caused by alcohol.  It’s also estimated that a motorist arrested for driving drunk has done it before an average of 87 times prior to the police pulling him or her over.   Also, one in three of all drivers will be involved in an alcohol-related car accident at some point in their lives,” continues Epstein.

Jason Epstein, Washington Personal Injury Attorney and Founder of Teens Against Distracted Driving, recently published an article giving some helpful, possibly life-saving, safety tips for pedestrians.

Seattle, Wash. – January 31, 2011 – Jason Epstein, Seattle personal injury and car accident attorney, recently published an article on his website, http://www.StraightTalkLaw.com, titled “Pedestrian Safety Tips.” In the article, Jason, explains that even the most alert pedestrian can be at risk of being in an accident from negligent or distracted drivers.  Jason wrote the article to give a few tips to pedestrians to help lower the risk of being in a serious accident.

Jason gives 5 helpful tips for pedestrian safety, including being aware of the rules of the road you are on, looking both ways before crossing streets, being aware of your surroundings, not assuming that drivers are paying attention and avoiding construction site areas.

Jason writes, “As a Washington pedestrian accident lawyer, I have seen how the busy, and sometimes run-down streets of King County have led to high number of pedestrian injuries. To make things worse, pedestrian accidents tend to cause serious injury, as well as a fairly high fatality rate. While there are some accidents that simply cannot be avoided by a pedestrian, there are a number of things people can do to lower their risk of being involved in an accident.”

“In the state of Washington, statistics show overwhelming evidence that the majority of pedestrian collisions occur on city streets, in the intersection. Age also plays an important role, as 1 in every 3 pedestrian collisions involve a pedestrian between the ages of 10 and 24,” continues Epstein.

Jason Epstein, Seattle Personal Injury Attorney and Founder of Straight Talk Law, recently published an article giving several tips on how to drive safely during flood conditions.

Seattle, Wash. – January 3, 2011 – Jason Epstein, Seattle personal injury and Washington car accident attorney, recently published an article on his website, http://www.StraightTalkLaw.com, titled “Flood Driving Tips.” Jason Epstein, after working on Seattle auto accident settlements for several years as a Bellevue injury attorney, has seen what disasters can happen on wet or flooded roads.  Jason writes, “Heavy levels of rainfall and snow create a dangerous situation as the water levels in local creeks and rivers rise and flood. Washington floods can cause serious damage to houses, businesses and property, but can also be extremely dangerous to vehicles on the road as they attempt to forge the high waters. Even when the water over the roadway appears shallow it can be extremely dangerous for a vehicle.”

“With all of these dangers in mind,” Jason writes, “it is important that we all take precautions before hitting the roads in heavy rain falls.” Some tips that Jason gives to help keep you and your vehicle safe during a flood include taking alternate routes, not ignoring road closures, leaving the car when danger is imminent, being wary at night and if at all possible, avoiding driving all together during heavy rain and flood conditions.

Jason Epstein, Washington Personal Injury Attorney and Founder of Straight Talk Law, recently published an article discussing how communities are cracking down on drunk driving by implementing “no refusal” policies.

Seattle, Wash. – December 28, 2010 – Jason Epstein, Seattle personal injury and Washington auto accident attorney, recently published an article on his website, http://www.StraightTalkLaw.com, titled “Straight Talk Law: Seattle, Washington Personal Injury Lawyer Jason Epstein On “No Refusal For The Holidays.” In the article, Jason, discusses how communities all across America have searched for ways to combat the increase in drunk driving incidents during the holidays.  One of these ways is the “No Refusal” policy. “No Refusal” is being implemented by more and more states during the holiday season in order to stop drunk-driving car accidents and prevent personal injury and wrongful death tragedies.

Jason writes, “The basis of the policy is the fact that many drunk driving suspects refuse to take Breathalyzer tests when the police pull them over.  Roughly one out of four, as a matter of fact, won’t submit to the testing.”

“Under the ‘No Refusal’ strategy, however, law enforcement officers can quickly obtain search warrants from judges who are “on call” – allowing them to immediately obtain blood samples from the motorists in question to determine their intoxication level.    States who have put the ‘No Refusal’ program into action report that they are able to get more guilty pleas, fewer trials and more convictions,” continues Jason.

Jason goes on to explain how the federal government is getting involved by launching a $7 Million national ad campaign supporting the holiday drunk driving enforcement crackdowns.

Jason Epstein, Washington Personal Injury Attorney and Founder of Straight Talk Law, recently published an article discussing steps to take following a Seattle motorcycle accident to get the best motorcycle accident settlement.

Seattle, Wash. – December 6, 2010 – Jason Epstein, Seattle personal injury and Washington motorcycle accident attorney, recently published an article on his website, http://www.StraightTalkLaw.com, titled “What you Need to do Following a Motorcycle Accident to Get the Best Motorcycle Accident Settlement.” In the article, Jason, gives three key steps to follow after being involved in a motorcycle accident. These three steps are “report complaints thoroughly,” “preserve the evidence” and “get witnesses.”

About reporting complaints thoroughly, Jason writes, “If you want to recover money to pay for your injuries from the accident, then it is vital that you report all injuries that it caused. Not reporting your injuries because you are trying to tough it out is harmful both to your health and your case. Thoroughly communicating your pain to your doctor will allow for a speedier recovery and show later on in the process that the accident did have immediate effects.”

“Thousands of Washington motorcycle accidents occur every year, and statistics show that the vast majority are not caused by the motorcyclists. Making the right decisions and collecting the necessary evidence after an accident is critical for anyone who is unfortunate enough to be involved in one,” Jason writes.

If you have been in a motorcycle accident and would like advice free of charge from an experienced Bellevue motorcycle accident lawyer, give Jason a call at (206) 285-1743.
