Burger Law

About a year ago, an autonomous (or self-driving) vehicle was involved in a pedestrian crash where the vehicle dragged an individual for 20 feet before coming to a stop. The problem came from the vehicle manufacturer Cruise's failure to provide a complete report following the crash, resulting in Cruise losing its license in the state of California and suspending and recalling its self-driving vehicles. A year later, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA has announced its consent order with Cruise which includes, among other things, crash report requirements, a corrective action plan and a $1.5 million penalty. Self-driving vehicles may be exciting and have meaningful applications that could have the potential to improve lives, but they can't do that unless they are able to operate in a way that is reliable and safe for passengers and fellow travelers. What do you think about the order? What would it take for you to feel safe riding in or sharing your roads with autonomous vehicles?

$100,000 might sound like plenty of liability coverage, especially compared to the $25k limit many private drivers carry as their state-required minimum liability insurance. But when you have serious injuries that require multiple surgeries to treat, your damages add up fast. Our client in this recent case was fortunate and wise to have had underinsured motorist coverage, which allowed Genavieve to lock in an additional $300k to help our client in their recovery after a distracted driver caused a collision that crushed our client's legs. Proud of this great result! Read about the case at https://lnkd.in/gwnnniTG #victory #SettlementAlert #underinsured

There has been a pattern of delayed justice when it comes to slavery and racism in the US. Juneteenth marks the day that the slaves in Texas finally became free — a whole 2 and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. And it just became a federal holiday in 2021. We can't even begin to untangle the complex trauma and damage that the fingerprints of slavery have imprinted on our country, still plainly visible today. But we can honor the sacrifices of those who helped end slavery, celebrate the progress that has been made, interrogate the innate privilege so many of us know all our lives, and make an effort to heal wounds. Celebrate Juneteenth. Celebrate freedom. Celebrate progress. And never stop demanding positive change and real equity.

I know this is a professional platform, but it's summer break and I know a lot of us have kids and families planning vacations and fun outings. The Burger family is no exception. We love hiking and outdoor activities. But as a personal injury lawyer, I know just how devastating and dangerous recreational vehicles can be. Take an ATV (or 4x4, four-wheeler, off roading vehicle). It's important to pay attention to manufacturer specifications. Most 4-wheelers and similar vehicles are intended for a single passenger. They tip and flip a lot easier than you might think, so it's imperative that you don't overload them. Riders should be over 18, sober and always wear a helmet. Bikes and ATVs are a riot but can cause horrible injuries. Make sure you and your friends ride safely and have insurance! #summersafe #safetytips #SafetyFirst #fourwheeling #atvride #atvlife #offroading #crashes #offroad4x4 #summertime #personalinjury Any other ATV safety tips you have heard or learned from experience? Comment your tips or tell me about your favorite summer recreational activity!

Last year was the deadliest on record for pedestrians in St. Louis County. 28 pedestrians were killed in traffic accidents. With crash rates up to 4 times the national average, high-traffic North County areas pose the most significant danger to walking and biking residents. The good news is that the MoDOT is currently working on potential solutions to make these areas safer. What do you think would make the biggest difference? Roundabouts? Lower speed limits? Roadblocks? More sidewalks and crosswalks? News on the project at https://lnkd.in/gYEqRsTE #stl #traffic #community #news #fatalities #pedestriansafety #northcounty
