Reminding Us of the Freedoms to Exercise in Times of Need Earlier this month, we celebrated the Fourth of July, just as so many Americans did. The Fourth is a perfect time to remind ourselves of freedoms we don’t use every day but are crucial to our lives as American citizens. This includes knowing your rights and what steps to take when you’re involved in a car accident. No one wants to be in these situations, but they happen. When they do, it’s important to know what to do in order to achieve the most ideal outcome.
Initial Steps
Here are the primary steps you should take to make sure you are fairly compensated. First, call the police to report the accident. If you’re injured or think there is a chance you might be injured, seek medical attention immediately. Then, call HareWynn; they can ensure your insurance claim is filed and start the process of gathering any evidence needed to prove your case.

Damages You Can Claim
According to Alabama law, these are types of damages you can claim in the case of an injury occurring during a car accident.
• Medical Bills – You may claim the immediate medical bills you are facing from the actual accident and any injury-related medical bills you will incur in the future. • LostWages – There is a high possibility that if you’re injured from an incident, you will lose time fromwork. It’s smart to keep track of the time you’ve missed and a record of howmuch money you’d make were it not for your injury.
Mashed potatoes are a staple of every American household, but this decadent variation created by Anthony Bourdain is worthy of a Fourth of July feast.
• Property Damage – If your vehicle was damaged in any way, the defendant must pay for its repair.
Ingredients:
•
4 Ibs. mediumYukon Gold potatoes, peeled and halved 6 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• •
1/2 cup heavy cream
• Pain and Suffering – You deserve compensation for the suffering you experience as you recover from the incident. This would include anything
Kosher salt
•
you couldn’t tie to a receipt, and it’s mainly up to your lawyer to prove exactly how much you suffered as a result of the accident.
Directions:
1. In a stockpot or large saucepan, submerge potatoes in just enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil, add 2 tbsp of salt, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. 2. Drain potatoes and let cool for 3 minutes. 3. Using a ricer, grate potatoes into the original saucepan over medium heat. 4. With a wooden spoon, stir potatoes until they begin to
stick to pan and steam, about 2 minutes. 5. Add butter in four equal batches, stirring constantly and adding each batch only once the last has been fully incorporated into the saucepan. 6. Stir in cream, season liberally with salt, and serve immediately.
Another freedom that we all should take advantage of is the freedom of
