Serious Injuries Happen to Parasailing Ocean Tourists Attorney News 364
According to ABC News, there have been 33 serious parasailing accidents in the state of Florida between 1998 and today. Six of those accidents caused fatalities.
Our West Palm Beach injury lawyers know that parasailing can be very dangerous if the boat operator who runs the parasailing operation fails to maintain the boat or other parasailing equipment. Unfortunately, the parasailing industry is largely unregulated, which contributes to the risk of accidents occurring. Many of these accidents involve tourists who visit Florida and who try out parasailing on their vacation, including one recent devastating accident that injured two visiting girls.
Parasailing Accident Seriously Injures Tourists
According to WPTV, two 17-year-old girls recently went parasailing while on vacation in Florida.
Unfortunately, the line on the parasail broke when the girls were out on the water. As a result, the young girls slammed hard into the side of a nearby condo building and hit a power line and a car in a parking lot. The girls were seriously injured as a result of their ordeal, with one suffering from back injuries necessitating surgery and the other suffering neck injuries.
One of the two girls has been walking with assistance despite her injuries, while the other is able to communicate only through nods, blinks and small hand gestures. While there is hope that both girls will make a recovery, there is a long road to go for the young women and their families.

Have you or a loved one has had a stroke, heart attack or even death as a result of undergoing dialysis treatment at a Fresenius clinic and were administered GranuFlo or Naturalyte? Call the Carse Law Firm 877-865-2580. If you or someone you know is on dialysis, you need to know the FDA recall GranuFlo and NaturaLyte products used at Fresenius clinics across the country. Major complications have been reported such as heart attack and even death.
The Food and Drug Administration issued a recall as a result of the leaked memo from Fresenius Medical Care to its own doctors. The November 2011 memo alerted medical directors and doctors about the serious risk factor linked to use of GranuFlo and NaturaLyte. Fresenius, however, did not alert the thousands of doctors and dialysis centers outside of its own network. Those doctors continued to use the product. It’s shocking that Fresenius failed to warn all doctors using GranuFlo about the potentially lethal side effects.

Nearly 1700 DWI Arrests in Texas in Just 18 Days! – Article 536
Do not get behind the wheel of an automobile after a night of drinking. This is advice is commonly accepted as being wise, right? You become a danger to yourself and every other person on the road when you decide to operate a car with slowed response time, vision problems and general mental impairment that comes from consuming too much alcohol. But still, despite warnings being issued from high school classroom, television PSAs and highway billboards, we still see men and women driving when they have no business doing so.
The Texas Department of Public Safety demonstrated what a serious problem drinking and drinking is in our state over an intense 18-day enforcement period that included the Labor Day weekend. With the help of additional patrol hours, troopers made 1,682 DWI arrests during this time. That means nearly 100 people every day were caught driving while under the influence of alcohol, while certainly many others traveled our extensive state roads in this dangerous condition without apprehension.
Hopefully the arrests will serve as a wake-up call for these men and women and they will be sure to find a designated driver next time instead of facing a consequence much worse than an arrest.

Immigrants allowed to have Driver’s Licenses Could Reduce Uninsured Car Wrecks – Article 288
California Governor Jerry Brown has signed into effect a law allowing undocumented immigrants to obtain a license to drive in the state of California. The new policy changes a 1993 law prohibiting undocumented immigrants from attaining a license and advocates argue that the new law will reduce the overall number of accidents and will result in a decline in the number of uninsured drivers.
Uninsured driver accident lawyers in Irvine know that unlicensed drivers are overrepresented in fatal car accidents by a ratio of five to one. Unlicensed drivers are also unable to obtain insurance, which is a major concern in California where Think Progress reports that insurance companies paid $634 million in claims for uninsured motorist accidents in 2009. With the new rule change, these costs and the risk of fatal crashes should decline.
Preventing Uninsured Driver Accidents
In California, there are an estimated 24 million licensed drivers and two million unlicensed motorists. CBS News reports that as many as 1.4 million of the unlicensed motorists are undocumented immigrants who can now apply for licenses under the new law. The licenses will become available beginning January of 2015 and will carry a distinction on the front of the card indicating they are used for driving purposes only and not as federal identification.
California is the eleventh state to take this step, with seven of the other states changing their laws just in the past year to make it possible for undocumented immigrants to obtain a license. Colorado and Oregon are among the states that have preceded California in granting licenses to individuals who are unable to prove citizenship status. The action is also not the first taken by California to make licensing more available, as the governor signed a bill last year permitting young undocumented immigrants granted temporary legal status by President Obama to obtain a license.
