Congratulations to Our 2022 “Texts=Wrecks” Scholarship Winner!
We at GibsonSingleton Virginia Injury Attorneys would like to announce our 2022 scholarship winner. We have been awarding our annual “Text=Wrecks” scholarship to college-bound students since 2018. By offering this scholarship and the associated essay contest, we hope to benefit all communities by encouraging students to build a safer world.
Announcing Our 2022 “Texts=Wrecks” Scholarship Finalists
At GibsonSingleton Virginia Injury Attorneys, we are truly heartened by this year’s response to our annual “Texts=Wrecks” scholarship. We received hundreds of essays from students across the country. To be eligible to win, students were asked to submit short essays about how they can make smart decisions to avoid distracted and impaired driving. We were greatly encouraged and inspired by reading them!
Exciting news: “Smart headlights” mean safer driving
Cars are constantly getting safer. Automatic braking systems, rear-view cameras, tire pressure monitoring systems, and blind spot detection are just a few of the recent innovations that help protect you and your family when you’re on the road.
The emotional recovery from a TBI
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can have long-lasting consequences that impact various aspects of your life. People who are suffering from a TBI often require extensive medical care to recover.
Virginia’s new three feet bicycle passing law
Riding a bicycle is a wonderful way to stay in shape, and it allows to you to breathe fresh air while experiencing the natural splendor of the Commonwealth of Virginia. When practiced as a group activity, cycling is also a nice way to connect with friends and family.
How to maximize your insurance settlement after a car wreck
A serious car crash can change your life. It can happen so fast, and then you have so much to deal with at once. You may be seriously injured, and if you had passengers, you may have loved ones or friends who also need help.
What causes pedestrian injuries in Virginia?
If you are a pedestrian and get struck by a car or truck, with nothing to protect your body, you are vulnerable to serious injuries. Even if you are following all traffic and safety laws, pedestrians can easily be injured or killed by negligent drivers.
Although pedestrians were involved in less than two percent of all traffic accidents in Virginia in a recent year, they made up more than 15% of all traffic fatalities.
So if you’re walking somewhere or just out for a stroll, what should you watch out for, and how can you walk more defensively?
GibsonSingleton kicks off annual Texts=Wrecks Scholarship!
We at GibsonSingleton Virginia Injury Attorneys are launching our Texts=Wrecks Scholarship for 2022. The past few years have certainly been challenging for students, but we are confident that they will once again impress us with their ambition, ingenuity, and compassion!
What are the eight best bicycle trails in Virginia?
Cycling is a healthy, economical, and eco-friendly sport. Regular cycling means regular physical activity, which helps protect you from many serious health conditions. Cycling is also a comfortable exercise that allows you to build up intensity slowly to fit your needs. If you have knee or ankle issues that prevent you from running or walking, biking may be the right activity for you. Thirty minutes a day is a small price to pay for lifelong health.
How can you speed up your recovery after a motorcycle accident?
Motorcycles are smaller, lighter, less visible, and less stable than cars. Motorcycle riders lack the protection of an enclosed vehicle, so they are vulnerable to serious injuries in a crash. Depending on the nature, severity, and extent of injuries, recovery from a wreck can take weeks, months, even years. Some riders never recover completely from certain motorcycle injuries.
