Car Accidents vs. Truck Accidents
Friday, January 6th, 2012
Even though they are frequently discussed together, car accidents and truck accidents are two very different types of personal injury cases. When you are pursuing a car accident claim, you will mostly be dealing with the other driver and their insurance company. In contrast, several other additional parties are often involved in a truck accident case.
Trucking companies may have their own set of lawyers and investigators who are dedicated to protecting the company’s interests. This can make the truck accident claims process much more complex than a car accident claim. Additionally, the injuries sustained by truck accident victims are often more severe, since passenger vehicles often have difficulty withstanding the impact of a commercial tractor-trailer.
However, each type of claim can present unique challenges. In many situations, the victim of a car or truck accident will not know the exact details of what happened until a thorough investigation is performed. Defective vehicle parts, dangerous roadways, and other unforeseen factors should all be carefully evaluated. No two accidents are exactly the same, and you should approach your case with this in mind.
If you have been injured, or if your loved one has been killed in a car accident or truck accident, make sure you are getting the compensation you deserve. Please contact the experienced Phoenix auto and truck accident counsel at The Mayro Law Firm today to schedule a free initial attorney consultation.

Brain Injuries in High School Sports
Friday, January 6th, 2012
When a high school football player suffers a hard hit and gets up again, most people assume that he has not been seriously injured. Unfortunately, it is all too easy to sustain a concussion without being knocked out. In fact, it is believed less than 10% of athletes who suffer concussions lose consciousness. Because of this, many high school athletes have played without knowing they had suffered a traumatic brain injury.
Every year, about 136,000 high school student athletes suffer concussions. This is troubling considering the fact that teenage brains are still growing and maturing at this stage in their lives. Overcompetitive coaches have tried to downplay a student’s potential injury. Many students have done the same in an attempt to get back into the game. It is important that these students are carefully examined to ensure they are not put at risk.
If your child has suffered a brain injury while playing high school sports, experienced injury attorney Jerrold Mayro can help ensure rights are protected. In many situations, the long-term consequences of head injuries are unknown at the time the incident occurred.
If serious complications arise in the weeks and months to come, we can help you face them; you are not alone. Contact Phoenix brain injury lawyer Jerrold A. Mayro at The Mayro Law Firm today to schedule a free consultation.
