I've written about hit and run accidents before, but the problem just seems to be getting worse. The Austin American Statesman is reporting on two more hit and run accidents from last week. In the first accident, Lacey Marie Seljos was charged with intoxication assault and failure to stop and...

Earlier this week, Jose Guadalupe Diaz-Hernandez, a passenger, tragically lost his life in a car wreck that appears to have been the result of street racing.  While this death was tragic, it is not uncommon.  Last year, two women were killed when they sat at a bus stop and a vehicle...

In the last week of 2010, Austin had two fatal auto-pedestrian crashes along I35.  On December 30, 2010, Luis Ascencio-Sanchez was run over and killed along the access road IH 35 in North Austin.     On the other end of town, Robin Waitt was walking across the southbound lanes of I35...

Today's video answers the question, "If you can't work following a car wreck, who will pay your lost wages?" Who Will Pay My Lost Wages If I Can't Work After A Car Wreck? from brooks schuelke on Vimeo.

I suspect my holiday will be like holidays at a number of Central Texas homes.  One of the gifts for one of my children will be a new bicycle  (please don't tell them).  And kids all over Austin will be getting new bikes too. Unfortunately, a horrific bicycle accident that occurred this week...

A question we often get in pedestrian/hit-and-run driver wrecks is whether there is a way to make a recovery.  And...

Earlier this week, the Austin American Statesman ran a heart-breaking story about Roger Chan.  I can't do the story justice, but Mr. Chan was riding his motorcycle  to help cook Thanksgiving meals for those in need when he was involved in a horrific motorcycle crash.  Despite the injuries Mr. Chan endured, there...

 Over the river and through the woods....... Thanksgiving.  What's it mean to you?  Turkey?  Stuffing?  Napping on the couch?  Football?  or... Traffic? It's no secret that the Thanksgiving holidays make for busy roads.  But it also makes for dangerous roads.  Last year, there were over 1,000 serious injuries and 39...

Today I had the pleasure of presenting a speech to about 60 local personal injury attorneys on uninsured/underinsured motorist claims.  Part of my presentation included a paper, which I'm including here.  It is intended for lawyers and isn't leisure reading, like much of the stuff I post on here, but...
