Clear Backpacks the Wave of the Future for Students

Students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas are returning to school after the tragic school shooting, but now with even more safety measures in place.  One in particular is that they will be required to carry only clear backpacks, as those will be the only ones permitted on campus.  Safety is now more of a concern to students than fashion, as they have readily adopted these measures. 

In life you try to be as safe as possible especially on the job, but sometimes accidents do occur, and as a result you get injured. 

If you are injured as result of a work place accident, call the attorneys at Dennis Seaman & Associates at (216) 696-1080 to discuss your claim.

Ohio Lawmakers want to increase minimum driving age to 16 ½

Ohio's newest drivers account for its highest percentage of accidents, so the state's representatives are debating a bill to withhold their driver's licenses for a longer period of time. 

Lawmakers plan to increase the minimum age at which young motorists can apply for a driver’s license.  This legislation would increase the age for first time drivers to obtain their license from 16 to 16 ½ .  In addition, first time drivers would have to have their temporary instruction permit for 12 months, up from the previous 6 months.

Driverless Cars

Driverless vehicles are becoming the future for transportation on our roads. 

Tragically one of those cars Uber was testing recently struck and killed a pedestrian in Phoenix, Arizona.  As a result, Uber has halted its driverless cars which are being tested in San Francisco, Pittsburgh, Toronto, and the Phoenix area.  Until these problems are corrected we will still rely on humans at the wheel. 

The one benefit of driverless cars was the human element was removed from the decision making process of driving. 

Sometimes when people drive, they make bad decisions which can lead to tragic results.  If you were injured in a motor vehicle accident contact the attorneys at Dennis Seaman & Associates at (216) 696-1080to discuss your potential claim.

Is Governor Kasich Trying to Take Away Your Pain Medication

On Tuesday night April 4, 2017 Ohio Governor Kasich delivered his State of the State speech in Sandusky Ohio.  One of the most significant points he made was on opiate (medication) usage in Ohio.  He stated “That’s why I announced last week that Ohio is setting strict new mandatory limits—not voluntary guidelines—but legal limits on how many opiates can be prescribed for acute medical procedures: seven days of opiates for adults and no more than five days for children”. 

Attention Firefighters: Gov. Kasich Signs New Bill Extending Workers’ Compensation Benefits to Fire Personnel with Cancer

Firefighters are involved in life and death situations on a daily basis as they fight fires.  Unfortunately, while doing their jobs, they are exposed to many cancer causing materials that are expelled into the atmosphere from burning materials.  These toxins are both ingested and absorbed through the skin. It is a hazard that comes with the job.  Fire personnel have a higher rate of cancer-related deaths than expected.
