This One Will Leave You Giggling IF YOU HAVEN’T PICKED UP ‘THE TAO OF BILL MURRAY’ YET, IT’S TIME YOU DO!
Bill Murray is an actor, writer, and a comedian with quite a delivery! “Saturday Night Live,” “Ghostbusters,” “Caddyshack,” “Groundhog Day,” and “Meatballs” wouldn’t be the same without him — he’s a legend. He’s achieved his fame all without an agent. In fact, he has a 1-800 number for casting phone calls. As the very first guest to appear on the “Late Show With David Letterman,” he’s one of America’s most talented actors, having played in a wide variety of roles and nailing them each time. When I found out that Gavin Edwards had written a book about Bill Murray, I jumped at the opportunity to find out what it’s like to hang out with such a talented man. “The Tao of Bill Murray: Real-Life Stories of Joy, Enlightenment, and Party Crashing” was immediately at the top of my reading list. The book is essentially a collection of the craziest things Bill has ever done, or played a part in both on and off screen, and is wildly entertaining to say the least.

Green Places for Small Spaces
Spring has officially arrived! As the weather warms up around the country, people are heading outside to refresh their gardens. But what if you live in a small space, like an apartment, or simply don’t have any backyard space to accommodate growing your own plants? If you’re in that situation, use these three areas to help your plants thrive! A BALCONY OR PATIO Most pots can sit on balcony and patio floors while still getting enough sunlight to properly grow. Just remember to water them appropriately and bring them inside if the weather turns bad! IN WINDOWS Windows can provide the perfect space for plants to absorb sunlight without the need to manage their location. Bay windows are ideal, but you can also place plants on the windowsill. THE ENTRYWAY Plants don’t just have to grow on the ground or in pots! An entryway can let you go vertical with your greenery while staying out of the way of visitors.
OBTAINING COMPENSATION IN PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE ACCIDENTS Uninsured Motorist Coverage Is a Game-Changer
Spring is officially in full swing. With temperatures warming up, flowers blooming, and more local activities taking place around town, more and more people are getting outdoors and enjoying the fresh air. But, if you’re walking or biking along the road or in a parking lot, be sure to keep safety as your top priority. According to the Federal Highway Administration, every year, roughly 6,000 pedestrians and 850 bicyclists lose their lives in traffic fatalities. Approximately 76,000 pedestrians and 47,000 bicyclists are injured by vehicles annually. Accidents involving people on foot and on bikes are a nationwide concern, especially in highly concentrated cities. While biking and walking are very healthy and environmentally friendly ways to commute, they can also be very dangerous! Especially in marked intersections and crosswalks, pedestrians are known to have the right of way; however, most pedestrian and bicycle accidents take place in intersections and crosswalks! Vehicles also tend to speed through parking lots, thinking the rules of the road don’t apply there, where many people are walking on foot. Thus, parking lots tend to have a lot of pedestrian and bicycle accidents. We recently had a case where a vehicle struck our client. In fact, while our client walked down the street, an oversized van’s side mirror hit and injured them. The van did not stop, making our client unable to gather information about the driver. Because our client carried uninsured motorist coverage, we were still able to obtain compensation for them!
If you’ve been struck by a driver without insurance, or if you are the victim of a hit-and-run accident, you may be entitled to compensation under your uninsured motorist coverage. Give us a call today so we can help you obtain the compensation you deserve!

feel this will hurt their case. It is crucial for claimants to disclose everything about their medical history so the lawyer can be fully prepared.
FAILING TO GATHER IMPORTANT EVIDENCE Contact and insurance information should be gathered from all parties involved in an accident. Obtaining contact information of witnesses is also essential. As time passes, evidence can disappear and witnesses’ memories may fade. Photographs of the accident scene, any bodily injuries, and damage to all vehicles should be taken as early as possible. TRUSTING INSURANCE COMPANIES Once an accident claim is submitted, insurance adjusters usually begin contacting the drivers and injured parties in an effort to obtain recorded statements or written reports from them. Adjusters hope to use these statements and reports against claimants as the case progresses. The problem is that many claimants are unaware of this and make the mistake of agreeing to give a recorded or written statement to an insurance company before consulting an attorney. Similarly, they need to avoid being tricked into signing any written acknowledgment, admission of fault, or someone else’s recorded or written statements.

7 Common Mistakes Made by Personal Injury Claimants
FAILING TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION AFTER AN ACCIDENT Insurance companies know that people may sometimes have strong financial incentives to exaggerate bodily injuries stemming from an accident. One of the key ways insurance defense lawyers catch on to this is by examining the timeline of medical treatment following the accident. Any unreasonable delay between the time of the injuries and the time medical treatment is sought is usually considered a red flag. Inexplicable gaps in treatment and missed doctor’s appointments are also viewed with suspicion. GOING PRO SE Many people assume they can handle their personal injury claim on their own without the assistance of a lawyer. While this might be true in some situations, it is usually much wiser to hire professional legal representation. This is especially true if there will be a suit for serious or complicated injuries involving significant damages. Personal injury litigation can be highly technical in nature with major consequences for failing to follow proper procedure. FAILURE TO COOPERATE Some clients are hesitant to disclose all details about their medical history to their lawyers because they
Personal injury lawsuits can be complicated and time-consuming for all parties involved, regardless of which side of the “v” they’re on. Claimants should be sure to avoid these common pitfalls. DECLINING TO PURCHASE UNDERINSURED OR UNINSURED MOTORIST INSURANCE Underinsured or uninsured motorist insurance is an optional type of insurance that can supplement a claimant’s liability insurance. It may end up coming in handy in the event of a collision with another vehicle if the driver of that vehicle happens to lack insurance coverage of their own, or is only carrying the minimum coverage required under state law. COMMUNICATING EXCESSIVELY AT THE SCENE OF AN ACCIDENT In the moments immediately following a collision, there’s a natural urge for drivers to get out of their vehicles and speak about what just transpired. There’s nothing wrong with this per se, but it’s important to be aware of the legal ramifications. All statements made at the scene of an accident have the potential to be admitted as evidence at a trial. Accident victims must choose their words carefully when speaking and should limit their interaction to the exchange of insurance and contact information.

JUST LIKE RIDING A BIKE
Cycling Is the Perfect Activity for All Ages
You likely learned how to ride a bike as a kid — according to a 2013 survey, about 94% of American adults did. Even if it has been a while since your last ride, most people agree you never forget how, and you don’t have to be in great shape to get started. Outside of walking, biking might be the most accessible exercise for all ages and ability levels. The beauty of biking is that it can be as relaxing or challenging as you want. The average kid learns to ride at around 5 years old, so the basics aren’t complicated. Biking helps young children get outside and gives them a taste of being a “big kid.” As a result, it’s excellent for their self- esteem as well as their fitness. Cycling is also perfect for adults who are new to exercise or need a low-impact activity. A short ride on a flat surface will get the heart rate up without feeling too strenuous, making it optimal for beginners. Older adults and people with knee problems also use biking as an alternative to other forms of exercise because it’s easier on their joints.
on your bike, or pick a steeper bike trail to explore. Biking is only a cakewalk if you choose to make it one.
Since it’s perfect for all ages, cycling is the ideal outdoor activity to do with your family, allowing everyone to be involved in quality time together while promoting their health. To get started, make sure everyone has a bike they can use comfortably and a helmet that fits, plus understands bike safety. Once the basics are taken care of, you’re ready to hit the trails or explore the neighborhood. Even if you never learned how to ride, there’s no time like the present. You might feel a little silly at first, but the benefits of cycling will serve you — and your family — well for the rest of your life.
Meanwhile, those looking for a challenge can easily find one. If you want a strenuous workout, it’s easy to ride farther, increase the resistance
