Senate Bill Promises Increased Vehicle and Highway Safety in the U.S.

Houston injury attorneys on some promising new safety legislation that could have some real effect. OK, I’ll admit I enjoy poking holes in those lawmaker announcements that arrive with such pomp and circumstance while extolling the virtues of completely lame safety-related legislation. Well, now I’m forced to admit that the Senate might just have passed […]

Houston accident lawyers point out that the difficulty is not just the endless miles of roadway between point A and point B.
