San Diego Car Accident Lawyer's Top Ten Things You Don't Want to ...

by Allison Davis

1. I sure hope someone knows what this is.

 

2. This looks worrisome.

 

3. You did all of this in one accident?

 

4. This could take awhile.

 

5. Are you sure you have insurance?

 

6. Just fill out these twenty-four forms and remember to sign each page or you’ll be back at the end of the waiting list.

 

7. Cough for me.

 

8. They sure didn’t tell us about that in medical school.

 

9. How long have you had that mole?

 

10. Well that is one compound fracture that makes the shattered bone in the other extremity look quite average.

 

Now here are ten actual tips of advice from a San Diego car accident lawyer to follow if you have been in an accident. You can also learn more about how to handle a personal injury in San Diego, or any city, by calling the Law Offices of R. Sebastian Gibson at any of the numbers which can be found on our website at http://www.SebastianGibsonLaw.com  and learning how we can assist you.

 

Obviously, if you have had an accident, and you are reading all of this advice, it may have been a few hours since the accident. However, if you ever have another accident, or if it’s only been a few hours since you were hurt, here’s what you should do from the start.

 

First, take a look around and determine if you or anyone, are hurt. If so, taking steps like trying to prevent further injury or loss of blood are the most important thing you can do. Even if some other driver caused you to be injured, it’s just good manners to help the other driver if they are hurt. They may even be so thankful that they admit their fault to you. The worst thing you can do is get angry or start a fight.

 

Second, make sure everyone is safe from being injured further. If you are in the middle of traffic, and you are dizzy, sit down away from traffic. If your vehicle is a traffic hazard and you have accident warning devices like flares or triangles, put them out on the road to warn other drivers and get away from the car. Let the police an other emergency personnel investigate the scene with the vehicles in place and move them more safely at a later point.

In the new study (my thanks to the Neuroethics & Law Blog and The Future Now blog for noticing the paper), graduate student Jan-Emmanuel De Neve of the London School of Economics & Political Science and James Fowler of the University of California, San Diego, report that young adults age 18 to 26 with the low-activity form of MAO-A are more likely to have credit-card debt. Because everyone has two copies of the MAO-A gene (one from mom and one from dad), a person can have two low-efficiency forms, or alleles, two high-efficiency alleles, or one of each. The authors find that "having one or both MAO-A alleles of the low-efficiency type raises the average likelihood of having credit card debt by 7.8% and 15.9% respectively."

That's not huge, obviously. And the authors do not distinguish between carrying credit-card debt and skipping out on that debt (don't card issuers prefer us to carry a balance, the better to rake in interest payments?). About half the U.S. population has at least one low-efficiency MAO-A gene. In principle, a financial institution assessing an applicant's credit risk could therefore factor in MAO-A status, viewing it favorably if they're looking for credit-card users who will carry a balance and thus be on the hook for nice fat interest payments, or seeing it as a black mark if they want to keep mortages out of the hands of people who might in the future carry a debt load.
