Here are some questions to some frequently asked questions we get at our office:

Q: Should I sign the ticket?
A: It usually doesn’t matter.  Some officers in some jurisdictions will take umbrage with it and require you to post a bond.  But, usually, it doesn’t mean a thing whether you sign it or not.  It is not an admission of guilt.  However, what you do later is critical to the future of your driver’s license.

Q: What happens if I just mail in the fine and costs?
A: When you mail in the fine and costs of the ticket, you just put a moving violation and points on your record. What does that mean for the future of your driver’s license? Eighteen points in 18 months will suspend your license and 12 points in 12 months will get your license revoked.  Your insurance carrier will most likely never give you a discount or a lower rate on a premium because of your moving violation.

Q: I forgot all about the ticket!  My court date was weeks ago!  Now what?
A: Nothing good is going to happen.  The jurisdiction that issued you the ticket, may give you a wake-up letter and one more chance.  However, you should not expect it.

They will usually issue a ‘failure to appear’ warrant.  If you originally posted bond, it could be forfeited for failure to appear (FTA).  Even worse, you might have been reported to Department of Revenue (DOR)  for failing to appear and your license could get suspended.  Now when you get pulled over for a minor offense like your headlight being out, the officer will discover that you are driving on a suspended license.

Q: Can I just mail in the fines on all these tickets?
A: Sure you can but it is not the best course of action.  If you just pay the fines, your license will be revoked because driving while suspended in Missouri is a 12 point offense.  Now you get to mail your driver’s license to the Department of Revenue.

From the comfort of your own home, you have paid court costs and fines and lost your drivers license. What do you think?  Time to call a lawyer?

For Consumers

If you’re a consumer who’d fallen victim to unethical vendors, then you have every right to take full advantage of the MMPA. An example where the MMPA would prove beneficial would be if you paid a company to install a new driveway which then immediately cracks; when you got to report it, the company fails to respond.

If this or something similar happens to you, you can file the case with your attorney general.  If you go through an attorney, which can be helpful in dealing with a company’s own legal team, you’ll be able to recover your attorney’s fees if you’re successful.

For Vendors

Here’s what you have to watch out for as a vendor.  Let’s say you put a roof on someone’s house, and then they don’t pay for the service.  You sue and win, but the customer counters with an MMPA filing.

The best way to protect yourself from this sort of behavior is to include a “sore loser” clause in your initial settlement for the non-payment.  This protects you against slander on social media and government reporting agencies.  Without it, there’s little recourse.

Purpose of a Search Warrant

A search warrant is a court order granted by a judge that gives police the right to search a place or person for criminal evidence, which can be seized and used in court.

Requirements for a Search Warrant

A search warrant is granted only when the police can convince a judge that they have probable cause to believe a crime has been or is being committed on a given property or by a given person, or that evidence of a crime is located on either.

Limitations of a Search Warrant

Search warrants are never issued in civil cases, meaning even if you’re being sued for personal injury, you’re not subject to a search warrant.

Additionally, a search warrant usually limits a search to a specific area of the property.  For example, if a search warrant is granted to search your basement, an officer cannot go beyond reasonable limits of securing their own safety or the safety of their fellow officers.

The exceptions for extension of a search warrant beyond the area specified are as follows:

• To ensure safety.
• To prevent destruction of evidence.
• To discover more about evidence or stolen items in plain view.
• To hunt for evidence or stolen items on other areas of the property based on their initial search.

What to Do If You’re Served With a Search Warrant

First, always be respectful. Even if you suspect an officer is violating the terms of the search warrant, you must remain respectful.

Secondly, the officer will leave you with an inventory list of anything that was seized from your house.  Review the list and the warrant with your attorney to make sure what was seized was in fact authorized by the search warrant.

If anything taken is deemed unlawful, your attorney can raise this issue in court and have it declared inadmissible as evidence against you.

Whether or not any of us wants to admit it, we all have been guilty of being distracted by our devices while behind the wheel. Because we rely on smartphones, text messages and constant connection to technology, it’s become almost impossible for us to focus on the road when we drive.

Remember the days when you used to pull up at a stoplight and be appalled at the person next to you if they were talking on a cell phone? Nowadays it’s almost more shocking to see someone who doesn’t have a phone to his or her ear. But what’s even scarier is passing someone on the interstate and noticing that their hands are busy typing out a text message while they look straight down at the phone. It makes you want to break the speed limit just to get around them and avoid being sideswiped when they swerve across the lane.

Consider the following statistics from the U.S. Government’s distracted driving website www.distraction.gov:

1. Drivers who use hand-held devices are four times more likely to get into crashes serious enough to injure themselves.
2. Text messaging creates a crash risk 23 times worse than driving while not distracted.
3. Sending or receiving a text takes a driver’s eyes from the road for an average of 4.6 seconds, the equivalent—at 55 mph—of driving the length of an entire football field, blind.
4. Using a cell phone while driving—whether it’s hand-held or hands-free—delays a driver’s reactions as much as having a blood alcohol concentration at the legal limit of .08 percent.
5. Driving while using a cell phone reduces the amount of brain activity associated with driving by 37%.

At Grover Law, one of our specialties is knowing the laws of the road, and we encourage you to do the same. While talking on a cell phone behind the wheel is not illegal in either Kansas or Missouri, text messaging is. Kansas prohibits all drivers from engaging in the activity, while Missouri holds the ban on drivers under the age of 21.

This month, consider the statistics of distracted driving. While you may feel like the world will come to a crashing halt if you don’t return that text message, the reality is that it’s far more likely to happen if you do. Choose wisdom on the road. Realize that it’s not just you out there and that thousands of other motorists are counting on you to obey the laws and be responsible behind the wheel. Be smart and be safe. And, whatever you do, don’t become a statistic.

It seems as however pregnant females suffering from depression might be in a no-win situation because failure to control depression with continued SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) medication may possibly impact the wellbeing of the two mother and youngster. SSRI’s are made to elevate the stage of the neurotransmitter serotonin. A lower stage of serotonin is 1 of numerous neurochemical indicators of depression. Lower amounts of serotonin can be pulmonary hypertension and pregnancy triggered by an anxiety problem mainly because serotonin is necessary to metabolize strain hormones.

Persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) has been observed in infants of mothers taking Zoloft (generic sertraline) through pregnancy. Infants born with PPHN have trouble producing the transition from breathing inside of the womb to standard breathing soon after deliver and frequently call for a ventilator due to respiratory failure. Study has discovered that SSRI’s accumulate in the adult’s lungs and serotonin can lead to the proliferation of selected muscle cells. This could perhaps explain the drug’s impact on the fetus. Approximately ten-twenty% of infants born with this affliction do not survive.

SSRI’s have also been identified to lead to withdrawal indicators in all those who abruptly cease taking the medications. Stopping these pulmonary hypertension and pregnancymedication is some thing that ought to be thoroughly monitored by a physician, and normally, tapering off of the drugs is encouraged. Abruptly stopping the drugs may possibly cause the infant to encounter withdrawals signs or symptoms this sort of as tremors, superior-pitched crying, rest disturbances, and gastrointestinal problems. A stunning thirteen% of 60 newborns exposed to SSRI’s showed severe signs of withdrawal on birth.

In February 2006, the New England Journal of Medication published a study indicating that moms taking SSRI antidepressants right after the 20th week of pregnancy were 6 instances much more probably to give birth to an infant with a severe hearth defect than moms not taking SSRI antidepressants.

Depression is a really serious sickness that typically carries with it an greater danger of suicide in the sufferer and really should be taken care of by your doctor. For decades, SSRIs have assisted hundreds of adult males and girls combat depression. Even so, the statistics obviously display that there are severe challenges concerned with taking SSRI medication through pregnancy.

“I experienced severe

swelling and bruising

after my car accident.”

shoulder pain and discomfort

following an automobile collision

CRASH—CRASH—CRASH—CRASH

The strong force from an impact causes a victim’s body to VIOLENTLY shake  forwards and backwards.   Pressure from the straps of  an occupant’s seatbelt may, in fact,  further aggravate  injuries sustained in the crash.  Directly following an accident, shoulder pain may not necessarily be immediately apparent  but may develop over a period of  time.

The acromioclavicular joint, also known as the AC joint, is stabilized by ligaments. Separation of  the two bones that form this joint can be disrupted in an accident.  Evidence of  trauma and damage to the  AC  joint ligament  may include swelling, bruising, pain, discomfort and loss of range of motion.  It is even quite possible for a large lump or bump to form in the acromioclavicular joint area.  Separation of the bones that form this joint is also referred to as “Shoulder Separation.”  Separation of the shoulder occurs in the area where the clavicle and the scapula come together.  A diagnosis of  an AC separation can be confirmed by x-rays or MRI.    Treatment may only require that the patient receive rest and pain medication.  Following proper healing of the AC  joint,  patients may have to undergo extensive physical therapy to promote and ensure regaining full mobility of the shoulders.

St. Louis area residents are all too familiar with  multiple winter  weather advisories.  Freezing rain and snow can leave many area motorists dealing with hazardous driving conditions. Flurries that quickly turn into heavy snow fall with limited visability can be responsible for hundreds of automobile accidents every year.  St. Louis drivers attempt to navigate dangerous roads and highways.

Negligent motorists who fail to use caution and reduce driving speed in inclement weather may be held accountable for seriously injuring another driver.  Those who are careless and following another vehicle too closely in streets blanketed in snow and  ice can cause a rear-end collision and severely injure the occupants of  the car in front of them.  There is NO EXCUSE for negligence on the part of the other driver in an auto accident!
