Dudley DeBosier Makes a Big Difference for Truck Accident Victims When you’ve been injured in a crash with a commercial vehicle, you need a Louisiana truck accident attorney who knows what you’re going through. At Dudley DeBosier, we get injured people the compensation they deserve while letting them focus on getting better. Our client was a front seat passenger in an SUV with several other family members. They stopped for heavy traffic on I-10 when an 18-wheeler failed to see that traffic was stopped. The 18-wheeler slammed into several vehicles at a high speed, resulting in a seven-car pileup. Our client’s SUV was the last vehicle in the collision. The trucking company made an offer of $300,000, which was not presented until three weeks before trial. That offer was rejected. After a weeklong trial, the jury returned a $2.25 million verdict against the trucking company in favor of our client. The Dudley DeBosier Difference in this case was teamwork, dedication, and ultimately $1,950,000.

3 TIPS FOR FALL PREVENTION Don’t Fall This Fall!

Dudley DeBosier’s Giving You the Opportunity to Travel Like a Saint!

September marks the start of fall , but it also serves as an important reminder about falling .

Falling is one of the greatest dangers seniors face. As adults age, take more medication, and lose some mobility, it becomes increasingly difficult to stay upright or regain balance — even when tripping over the smallest object. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 1 out of 5 falls cause serious injuries, including traumatic brain injuries. Falling can also increase a senior’s chance of falling again.

But for as common as it may be, falling doesn’t have to be your norm. You can lower your risk of falling and injury with a few simple steps.

Move More Your body was designed to move! When you don’t move your body enough, which can happen when you age, your muscles and joints can become weak and stiff. The best way to strengthen your reactions and improve your balance is to move your body. A physical therapist can help you develop a routine that targets your balance while strengthening your muscles and joints. Improve Your Home Your home just might be your biggest threat when it comes to falls, so improve it with a few changes! Install grab bars and railings on steps and in the bathtub for extra support. Grips on the bottom of the bathtub and on slippery surfaces can give you a secure footing, while lighting along the hallway and in stairwells can better illuminate walkways. Even something as simple as moving a table or decor item out of the hallway can be beneficial! ReviewYour Medicines Sometimes medication can influence balance and movement. Talk with your doctor about the side effects of your medication and adjust accordingly. You may need to consider alternatives, but if that’s not possible, physical therapy can provide assistance. It’s designed to help you improve your balance and get stronger — which can lower your risk of falling.
