Harmonson Law Firm - June 2019

ON THE ROAD AGAIN

The increased fee is based on the fact that as the longer the case goes on, the more time and money the firm has to spend on the case. The fees we charge are in keeping with the standard fees charged in the industry. That said, the most important question you should ask is not how much the fee is, but whether you have chosen the right attorney to represent you for your case. Choosing a law firm is probably the single most important decision you will make. Picking an inexperienced attorney or an attorney who does not have the financial ability to go the distance with the insurance company and their lawyers could mean the difference between a maximum money recovery and a mediocre recovery or worse.

Driving Safer in the Summer

It’s officially summer, and more people are out on the road. From families going on vacation to teens getting out of school (and being the least experienced drivers on the road), summer can be one of the most dangerous times to drive. Here are a few things you can do to stay safe as you drive to your next destination. WHEN ON VACATION If you’re driving in an unfamiliar area, that unfamiliarity can lead to a higher risk of getting into an accident. Whether you’re just passing through or are staying awhile, acquaint yourself with the local road system. Explore apps such as Google Maps to get an idea of road layout and traffic patterns, such as one-way streets and dead ends, before you set out on your journey. However, don’t rely on GPS navigation too much. Keep your eyes on the road, be aware of traffic and pedestrians, and keep distractions to a minimum. DURING CONSTRUCTION Summer also means construction season, and for most areas, that usually means roadwork. When you enter a work zone, always drive with caution. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration, June is the biggest month for work zone crashes. In 2017, there were a total of 799 recorded fatalities in work zones. While slowdowns can be frustrating, following the rules of the work zone will help keep you, your passengers, and the construction crews safe.

GRILLED BEEF RIBS INSPIRED BY SAVEUR MAGAZINE

Nothing feels more paleo-appropriate than digging into a giant rack of beef ribs. This largely hands-off recipe requires plenty of hands-on eating, making you feel like one of our cave-dwelling ancestors.

AS A PEDESTRIAN Just as you need to stay cautious and aware as a driver, you need to be vigilant as a pedestrian. Keep your eyes up and on passing traffic. Put away distractions; even texting and walking can be hazardous. One study by the University of Buffalo found that distracted walking was more dangerous than distracted driving. Another study from Stony Brook University found that pedestrians who were distracted by their phones were 61 percent more likely to walk off-course. When you’re at intersections and crosswalks, know where the next car is coming from before crossing. Even when you technically have the right of way, never assume the intention of anyone else on the road.

INGREDIENTS

• •

1 5-lb. rack of beef ribs

Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat a charcoal, wood-burning, or gas grill to medium-high. Once heated, move heat source to one side or turn off half of the burners to create an indirect heat zone. 2. Season ribs with salt and pepper and char on the hotter side of the grill, turning occasionally, for 12–15 minutes. Once charred, transfer to the other side of grill and cook until the thickest part of the rib reaches 130 F, about 2 1/2–3 hours. 3. Let meat rest for 15 minutes. If desired, serve alongside grilled veggies.
