Seat belt use
(23 Messages)
This doesn't tell much about the effectiveness of seat belts but it does indicate that those law enforcement officers and undertakers that never had a "patient" that died while wearing seat belts are not too experienced. In Idaho, which has a relatively small population, 237 people over the age of 4 died in motor vehicle collisions in 1999. Of those, 183 of those were not wearing seat belts and 64 were wearing seat belts. Seat belt usage was estimated at 58 percent and varied from 62 p ...

Farmers will have their team of "expert witness" testify that you could not possibly be injured from this accident. To counter their experts with experts of your own and pay the other necessary litigation costs to complete a trial, you'd be into the case for at least $10,000 to $15,000. I would expect 75% of the jury verdicts for your case, assuming the jury ...

A hall-of-famer Gov. Charlie Crist arrived late for his 10-minute speech at the Florida Conference on Aging's opening session in Miami on Monday because thunderstorms forced his pilot to take a circuitous path. He said he had to leave immediately to head back to Tallahassee for a 5:30 p.m. event at the Governor's Mansion. Nevertheless, he said, the trip was worth it.

New skate park opens in The Acreage The Acreage To simply call it a skate park misses the point. The cement slab with various ramps and rails that opened Wednesday in unincorporated western Palm Beach County carries the hopes of thousands of Acreage parents and local officials who worry bored teens could turn toward drugs and petty crimes. It might sound like lofty expectations for a fenced-in skate park about the size of two tennis courts side by side. But officials have long acknowledged that in a bedroom community a half-hour's drive ...
The $50,000 skate park is an important part of a larger effort by The Acreage's Indian Trail Improvement District to address that issue.

The skate park now occupies almost half the park's northern parking lot. "This board listened to what their residents have said they wanted," Michelle Damone, president of Indian Trail's Board of Supervisors, said ...

Jump in: Go scuba diving with the North Shore Frogmen Beverly resident Todd Randall couldn't stop fidgeting with a bright orange cable keeper on a recent idyllic Sunday morning. Randall, 44, had accompanied his scuba diving buddies from the North Shore Frogmen to Old Garden Beach in Rockport. He was with them on the shoreline even though he can no longer make the walk down to the water, weighed down by 80 pounds of gear, because of a life-changing injury suffered three years ago. But that doesn't mean Randall has given up the hobby he loves. As Randall's friends disappeared into ...
