Malloy Monthly LETTING GO OF COMMON LAWYER APPREHENSIONS Have No Fear! Halloween is near, and that means it’s time for scary ghosts, ghouls, and goblins. While fearing Halloween creatures is understandable, there is no need to have reservations about hiring a lawyer. Yet, some people still share similar fears. When hiring a personal injury lawyer, clients seem to feel uneasy and worried about how they can afford legal services. Oftentimes, those who require legal representation are worried about racking up legal fees. However, taking that initial step and contacting a personal injury lawyer is the best way to ensure your rights are protected. At Malloy Law Offices, we offer a free initial consultation regarding all injury matters to determine whether you have a case. Those seeking representation for a workers’ compensation case — for instance — worry that they will lose their job for hiring an attorney. Although employers cannot legally terminate or retaliate against you for hiring a workers’ compensation lawyer, many people fear their employer will get creative. The truth is that you can’t be canned by your employer for having a workers’ compensation claim — and some employees will allow you to return to work once the case is complete. Workers’ compensation lawyers greatly increase the success rate of workers’ compensation cases for clients. You should hire an attorney that will protect your rights, while maximizing your workers’ compensation benefits. October 2021

When events occur that warrant hiring a professional lawyer, people are unsure if it is worth getting one. That is why we offer a free consultation to discuss any concerns. In all cases, a lawyer acts as your advocate to receive a fair settlement — an amount higher than you would receive on your own. Because lawyers have a thorough understanding of the law, they use their knowledge and prowess in negotiations. Even after paying a lawyer for their services, you will still likely receive more than you would have on your own. Hiring an attorney eradicates the intimidating process when filing a claim. Many times, individuals may not understand the issue they have and whether or not it is a problem a lawyer can assist with. Taking action and consulting with a lawyer is the best way to set those reservations aside. If you think you need a lawyer, odds are you do. It can never hurt to consult and receive advice on how to proceed. Here at Mallow Law Offices, we offer personalized service, strong legal knowledge, and hard work. We work for you and forge a close partnership with our clients to get the job done. Have no fear, you’re in good hands!
On another note, when individuals are involved in a car accident, one of the fears clients have is whether or not they will
have issues with their current or future insurance companies. Lawyers are experienced professionals, trained to fight insurance companies and protect their clients to avoid problems in the future. In the event that you experienced severe injuries as a result of an auto accident, an attorney is necessary to protect your rights and recover the maximum compensation your case acclaims.

5 Common Car Accident Myths
A car accident is a stressful time. It can be hard to keep your thoughts straight, let alone know which legal messages to believe and not believe. Some commonly held beliefs about car accidents simply are not true. 1. You need to talk to the other driver’s insurance agency. While this is false, it actually may be a better idea to not have any communication with the other driver’s insurance company. The opposing insurance company will be looking for anything and everything to try to prove that you do not have a car accident case. Instead of saying something that has the potential to ruin your case, it is best to have no communication at all.
Actor Tom Hiddleston electrified the internet this summer with his performance in the new Marvel series “Loki” on Disney+, and there are even rumors he’ll be the next James Bond after Daniel Craig retires. But how does the actor keep up his lean, screen-perfect physique? SuperheroJacked.com recently spilled its best guess at Hiddleston’s workout. The suggested regimen leans heavily on weightlifting and jogging; you can check out the full routine by searching for the article, “Tom Hiddleston Workout Routine and Diet Plan: The Physique Behind Thor’s Brother Loki.” To put the plan together, the founder of Superhero Jacked did his research — and so did we. Here are two Hiddleston-approved fitness tips: Tip No. 1: Jog It Off It’s no secret that the Loki actor loves to jog. The paparazzi often catch him at it, and the hobby makes sense for someone with his body type. According to Runner’s World, jogging is a great cardio workout for kick-starting and maintaining weight loss. It also boosts your mood, improves your sleep and mental acuity, and strengthens your immune system. So, it might even help Hiddleston make it to set and memorize his lines. Tip No. 2: Boogie on the Dance Floor In addition to jogging, Hiddleston loves to dance. “Anyone who’s known me for any length of time knows that I love dancing,” he told Vulture in 2016. “At a party I’ll be the first person on the dance floor and the last sweaty mess at the end of the night. I don’t even think I can dance particularly well. I just have always had great enthusiasm for it and enjoy it.” (Want to see proof? Check out the video “Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch Dance Off” on YouTube, which has racked up more than 1.2 million views.) Dancing is another great mental and physical workout. It requires balance, strength, and endurance as well as the ability to memorize steps. If you want a body (and mind) like Loki’s, a good place to start could be in a group dance fitness class!

Fall brings apple cider, pumpkin patches, fun seasonal outfits, and corn mazes. Unless you are visiting a “haunted” corn maze, you and your family 5 Corn Maze Safet y Tips FUN FOR ALL THIS FALL probably won’t be chased by a chainsaw-wielding serial killer while you try to navigate through. However, safety risks are still present. Here are five safety tips to keep the fun coming during your next corn maze experience. Follow the rules. At the entrance to each corn maze, there should be a sign stating the rules for visitors. For the safety of yourself, your children, and others, be sure to read each rule and follow along. Always accompany your kids in the corn maze — it is a maze, after all! Watch for tripping and fire hazards. Keep your eyes peeled for any obstacles on the path, including holes, bumps, ruts, and corn stalks. While navigating a maze, it can be easy to forget to look down while searching for the exit. To prevent fires, you should also avoid smoking and never use matches or lighters. Wear proper footwear. Ensure that you and your family all have proper footwear, preferably closed-toed shoes, while exploring the maze. You never know what kind of critters or potentially harmful hazards may appear in your path. Eat beforehand and stay hydrated. Be sure to eat before setting out into the maze and don’t bring any glass bottles with you, as it can be dangerous if broken. Furthermore, do not consume alcohol before or while enjoying your time at the corn maze. Be prepared. Accidents can happen, usually at the most unexpected times! It is important to always have a first-aid kit handy. Be sure to call 911 in an emergency and let staff know what is going on.
2. You do not need to call 911 if the damages are minor.
No matter how bad — or not bad — the car accident is, you should always call the police. Responding officers will document the scene and complete an accident report that serves as documentation and evidence for your case. 3. It’s not worth hiring a lawyer.
When dealing with the insurance company’s attorneys and adjusters, they are sure to have more knowledge and prowess in this area than you do. After all, it is their job to maneuver the ins and outs of the car accident. Even if it is just for a consultation, it is always smart to meet with an attorney. 4. Rear-end accidents are always the fault of the rear driver. While this is usually the case, it is not always the case. If the driver in front has brake lights that are not working properly, they could be found at fault. A third-party driver’s actions could also throw a wrench into determining the at-fault driver. 5. I feel fine after the accident and do not need a doctor. Even if you have no pain at the scene of the crash, you should still be medically evaluated. Neck, back, and brain injuries can be difficult to detect and require some serious testing, and their severity is only proven over time. Do not decline medical attention. For more car accident myths, scan the QR code above and educate yourself on what not to believe when it comes to being involved in an auto accident.

Ford’s Assembly Line Impacts the World
Published by Newsletter Pro • www.NewsletterPro.com
FORD’S ASSEMBLY LINE IMPACTS THE WORLD In October 1908, Henry Ford’s Model T was introduced. A self- starting vehicle, the Model T had a left side steering wheel and a four-cylinder engine and was the first affordable car to hit the market. It represented more efficient fabrication via the assembly line, which was launched in 1913 at the Crystal Palace, and it put the whole world on wheels. The assembly line has forever changed the way people operate, live, and work. This invention touched both manufacturing and society. Everything imaginable is built on an assembly line today: cereal, toys, shoes, televisions, bicycles, you name it. PUTTING THE WORLD ON WHEELS
Because the assembly line provided nonstop workflow and more time on task by workers, it successfully took off and now is seen in many companies throughout the world. Employee specialization was made possible and resulted in less waste and a higher quality finished product. Ford revolutionized the world!
The assembly line yielded massive gains in efficiency. When this mass productivity system was born, Ford’s assembly line took automobile production from hours to minutes. What had taken 12.5 hours only took 93 minutes thanks to the assembly line. By increasing productivity, the economy benefited — both profits and wages went up. This mass productivity system created many goods at a lower cost in less time. Likely one of the greatest benefits of the system was that it made the Model T affordable. Ford was able to drop the price from $825 in 1908 to $260 in 1925. This significant price drop was huge for the middle class! At its peak, roughly 48,000 people worked at Crystal Palace. Today, about 500 people are working on the assembly line at Ford’s Michigan Assembly Plant. The final Model T went down the assembly line on May 26, 1927.
