What Do Police Do After a Hit-and-Run?

Published on Jun 29, 2018 at 5:58 pm in Auto Accidents.

 

A hit-and-run occurs when the liable driver flees the scene of the accident. This type of accident can happen when a driver collides with another car, a pedestrian, or an immobile object like a parking meter, and chooses to ignore their actions. If you’re a victim of this type of accident, police can help you catch the offender.

That act of leaving the scene is a crime. In the event of an auto crash, the state of Kentucky legally requires drivers in an accident to stop, assess the scene and call for medical assistance, and provide identification to the other driver. In the event the driver is unconscious, it is assumed they would have followed protocol.

Hit-and-run accidents can be incredibly frustrating if you’re the victim. It’s important to know that, while not every hit-and-run offender is caught, there is a system in place to find the responsible party.

How Do Drug Recalls Work?

Published on Mar 29, 2018 at 5:20 pm in Medical Malpractice.

Many people depend on medication to keep them healthy and safe. Whether they’re taking prescription drugs every day, a short while to fight an illness, or over the counter drugs, people expect them to be safe and do their jobs. But this isn’t always the case. When there are issues with a drug, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) will issue a recall, but that doesn’t undo the damage that’s already been done.

If you or a loved one has been injured because of a recalled drug, you’re probably focused on healing and getting back to normal life as soon as possible. But if the drug has kept you from working or has caused you a lot of pain, this might not be so easy.

You can seek legal aid from a Paducah pharmaceutical litigation lawyer at Daryl T. Dixon Law. We understand what you’re going through was caused by someone else’s negligence and that you deserve compensation for pain and suffering and lost wages. You can take a stand against drug companies so they don’t make these mistakes again.
