The Scam Called Insurance Company Defense Part 2 #DailyDaryl
Today I'm talking more about the scam of the big insurance company. Shortly after someone is involved in a car accident thats not their fault, wheels go into motion to try to hinder that person from getting the justice they deserve. It ends with them being slandered, isolated, and beaten down. Eventually they'll be paid barley any money. You have entered a war zone against the person who negligently inflicted this pain on you, a defense attorney, and a big insurance company. These insurance companies are huge. There are 200 million cars insured in the United States and the average monthly payment for this insurance is $100. So you can imagine how much money the big insurance companies are making. The person who was injured has no one unless they hire a trial lawyer to take up for them. The insurance company is going to pay you as little as possible. It's a scam. Imagine you are injured and the injury is going to affect you for the rest of your life. The insurance company is going to offer you about $500 to $1500 when you deserve much more for your significant injuries or you can hire a lawyer, like myself. As soon as you hire a lawyer, the big insurance company will hire a lawyer. This lawyer doesn't have to say that he was hired by the insurance company, he can say he works for the other person involved in the accident. A supreme court justice is stepping down soon to retire. That means it likely that another person will probably be brought into the court who is for the big insurance companies. You hear a lot about lawyers being greedy but trial lawyers are looking our for the little people. We aren't hiding behind the big insurance companies.
Instagram TV has Launched #DailyDaryl
Instagram TV has finally launched. A lot of people have been waiting for a way to post longer videos on Instagram, including myself. Its very exciting and has already started a lot of buzz. Facebook is the owner of Instagram so they'll be using Instagram TV as a kind of test. Instagram TV is going to be a lot like youtube and other social media platforms. In my opinion, Instagram features are always better than its competitors. An example of this is Instagram stories which brought many more users to Instagram and increased how long users were on the platform. Its not far fetched to assume that Instagram stories is what caused Snapchat to lose so many users. I haven't been able to post as much content as I usually would because we've been preparing for trial. As a Paducah, Kentucky Injury Lawyer I deal with car accident cases, semi-truck cases, nursing home litigation and much more. Our specialty here at Daryl T Dixon Law is Brain Injury cases. The most common cause of brain injury is falls and also auto accidents. We're growing our practice and our Brain Injury practice is becoming more of a movement. Many of clients look completely normal and its hard for them to receive the help they need.

I'll be posting periodically on Instagram TV and it will be a lot like the live Facebook videos I post since it can be over the one minute mark.

Traumatic Brain Injury Seminar #DailyDaryl
Who do you know that has questions about Traumatic Brain Injury? At Daryl T. Dixon Law we specialize in Traumatic Brain Injuries. We accept cases from people who have fallen, been in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident, and people who have had something collapse on top of their head. This seminar will teach you about the three stages of Traumatic Brain Injury. There is a Mild, Moderate and Severe stage of Brain Damage. I'll teach you how to tell what symptoms lead to each diagnosis. I'll show you how there are almost 100 billion brain cells. There are neurons that are connected by axons and in a TBI case those axons are torn, twisted and broken. Each foci or lesion on the brain can damage as many as 10K brain cells and can interrupt even more. Neurologist and NeuroPsychologist are best at diagnosing and treating TBI Cases. Please let us know if you have any questions about TBI.
KY State Legislature Passes an Awful Pension Bill #DailyDaryl
KY state legislature passes an awful pension bill, without even reading it. 291 pages for Pension that no one wanted. It was passed in a secret committee, takes away teacher pensions, and takes their sick leave and death benefit. This bill is awful and unconstitutional on its face. We will see you in Court. The bill had no Actuarial Analysis, which is a state law, and the bill was 291 pages long. It was passed in a few hours as teachers were locked out of the State Capitol Building. The bill was not read by any of the house or senate members. It passed with no Democratic votes, and it violated and inviolable bill. Attorney General Andy Beshear has promised to sue based on the bill being unconstitutional on its face. It was passed through a sewage bill. The bill strips teachers of their Pension and replaces it with a hybrid 401K with no guaranteed return. It strips teacher of accruing sick leave after December of 2018 and strips them of their 5K death benefit for their spouses. There is an easy solution. In November, lets remember and vote them out. Please share and I welcome any comments or questions from either side.
What is a Deposition? #DailyDaryl
As a Paducah, Kentucky Personal Injury Trial Lawyer I get asked all the time about depositions. What is a deposition? A deposition is merely a record of someones testimony in a Civil Case. In other words the deponent, the one giving the deposition, gives their testimony and it is recorded and later filed with the Clerk of the Court. Later at trial, the deponent will have a hard time changing that testimony. As mentioned, the purpose of a deposition is to create a written record of the testimony. Thus both sides at a Civil Trial know what that testimony will be at trial because typically a witness has given a deposition. A deposition can be given by a party, a fact witness or eye witness, and expert witnesses. If you ever need help preparing for a deposition just let us know. We would be happy to help you, provided that you don't have a lawyer.
Injured on a Vessel? Your Employer May Be Liable
Did you know that Kentucky has more miles of navigable waterways than any other state in the lower 48? Kentucky is bordered by the Ohio River to the north, the Mississippi River to the west, and the Big Sandy River and Tug Fork rivers to the east. Many of these flow into the Ohio River including Big Sandy, Cumberland, Green, Kentucky and Tennessee rivers. A National Safe Boating Council report show that there are more than 750 maritime deaths each year, and ninety percent of those who died in maritime accidents died as a result of drowning. If you have a boating accident case or a river injury case, pick up the phone and call me.
Handling Mesothelioma Cases for Victims of Asbestos
Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer affecting the thin membrane surrounding the internal organs of the human body. It most commonly affects the pleura (the lining that surrounds the lungs). It can also occur in the abdominal cavity and around the heart. This is a very aggressive form of cancer, and its essential action incases the affected organ as a tumor, cutting them off from the rest of the body. There is only one known cause of Mesothelioma, which is exposure to asbestos. Some of the symptoms may include shortness of breath, pain in chest, weight loss, adnominal pain and swelling, bowel obstruction, blood clotting abnormalities, anemia, fever, trouble swallowing, swelling of face and neck, and more. Many of the people we represent don't have much time to waste, so our investigation into the case is quick and thorough. There is no known cure for Mesothelioma, therefore you must act quickly to insure your rights are protected. If you have questions, pick up the phone and call me so we can discuss your case.
Standing Up for Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect Victims
I have a question for you today: Who is going to stand up for our most vulnerable citizens: the elderly, our parents, our grandparents? 2.6 million elderly Americans live in nursing homes or assisted living facilities; 75 percent of these nursing home residents are women with an average age of 85 years or older. The most common causes of nursing home abuse and neglect are: physical and sexual abuse by an employee or resident, malnutrition and dehydration, bed sores and pressure ulcers, and drops or mishandling of the resident. Other factors are failure to follow a treatment plan or failure to call a doctor. 90 percent of nursing home neglect abusers are staff, employees, or other residents. CNN reported last year that 90 percent of nursing homes are understaffed. Only 20 percent of nursing home neglect cases are reported. If you have questions about your nursing home abuse or neglect case, pick up the phone and call me.
