The 2009 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 trucks recalled for defect

Dodge Ram Truck Defect

For the second time during model year 2009 their is a recall on Dodge Ram 2500/3500 trucks.  Visit Consumeraffairs.com for details.  Basically the problem is a defective clutch.  The recall involves those trucks which have the heavy duty cab chassis with manual transmissions and power adjustable pedals.  The problem is that the clutch may not disengage because the master cylinder and the clutch pedal connecting rod may become disconnected. This could lead to an auto accident and fatal or serious injuries.  You may wish to call Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403 or call the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) at 1-888-327-4236.  If you are involved in an accident as a result of this defect, contact John Bisnar.   John is the top lawyer dealing with Auto product defects.

Three people killed in three separate auto accidents. Three people killed were not wearing their seat belts.

Last year by January 30th, 53 people had been killed on Virginia roads. This year by January 30th, 53 people had also been killed. The last three that were killed died in accidents caused by icy roads. The interesting and alarming thing about the three most recent deaths is that each of those killed were not wearing their seat belts. Two of the three who were not wearing their seatbelts were either rejected or partially ejected. The lesson to be learned from these three deaths is that one should always wear their seatbelt. The idea that one can be thrown three of an accident without serious injuries or deaths is totally false.

A new book to help auto and truck accident victims deal with insurance companies and adjustors.

I have written a new book,THE SMART CONSUMER’S GUIDE TO YOUR PERSONAL INJURY CASE. I wrote it because my mission in life is to make sure people are treated fairly. It is my feeling that people who are injured through no fault of their own are often treated by insurance companies and their adjusters.

In THE SMART CONSUMER’S GUIDE TO YOUR PERSONAL INJURY CASE, I give the public instruction, insights and tips they need to protect themselves when dealing with insurance companies and insurance adjusters. The book helps you understand your rights, explains things to watch out for and discusses in an understandable way both settlement and trial procedures. This book helps level the playing field for people who are injured through no fault of their own.

Dangerous tires - Have your tires passed their expiration date?

A friend of mine told me about an ABC report on dangerous tires.  The tire manufacturers are very unfriendly to consumers.  We as consumers do not know that tires have an expiration date.  Once the expiration date passes the tires become dangerous and are subject to tread separation even if they are new and have lots of tread.  Evidence of tread separation can be seen along the highway, especially I-95, in the form of tire treads that have come off.  At road speed cars and trucks become unstable when a tire suddenly blows up.  Many accidents are caused by such an event.  Losing control at road speed leads to many severe injuries and fatal wrecks.  As an attorney, I felt an obligation to pass this information along.

What amount of punitive damages can I get against a drunk driver?

The opportunity to get punitive damages in Virginia is somewhat limited. In my opinion is as much about politics as it is about the law. Is cap of $350,000 a suitable limit for the most greediest conduct?

Fatal Wrong-way crash caused by drunk driver.

A drunk driver going the wrong-way on I-95 at 96 miles per hour crashed into an automobile killing the driver of that car.  The fatal accident killed Robert L. Thomas and severely injured Franshaw Jackson.  Jackson suffered injuries to his heart, chest and brain.  It is hard for me to call the wreck and accident.  Drunk driving is not an accident.  It is a criminal act.  Don't drink and drive.  Drinking and driving is a deadly mix.

Alcohol was a factor in a car crash that killed four.

Alcohol was a factor in a fatal car crash that killed four and severely injured one.  The wreck occurred on Rt. 3 about six miles east of Culpeper when a 2002 Chevy Tahoe crossed into the wrong lane and hit a 2004 Toyota Corolla head-on.  The speculation is that crash was the result of a drunk driver.  The deceased are  Tyler Scott Harlow 20, Joseph Lee Sahnow 20; Tianna V. Jones 19; and James B. Cook 21.  27-year-old Howard John Steiniger of Fredericksburg was severely injured.  He was transported to Mary Washington Hospital and the transferred to VCU Medical Center in Richmond.

Fatal tractor-trailer crash on U.S. 17 in Stafford

A fatal crash in Stafford on Rt. 17 killed Susan Lee Haines.  The conduct of the tractor-trailer driver was more than reckless.  The truck driver's conduct was totally outrageous.  He caused the wreck because he was driving a tractor trailer with part of the front brakes missing.  After he removed the some of the parts to the front brakes, he towed a load of sand which weighed 83,000 pounds.  It is no surprise that he ran a red light and killed someone.
