4 Hondas Top Satisfaction Rankings
Kaye Leery asked:
In an annual J.D. Power and Associates customer satisfaction survey of U.S. drivers released Thursday, four Honda models topped the rankings for their vehicle segments more than any other automaker.
Honda Motor Company’s newly redesigned CR-V small crossover sport utility vehicle, Ridgeline truck and Odyssey minivan all topped their segments in the survey that focuses on the first 90 days of vehicle ownership. For the top spot, the subcompact Honda Fit tied with Toyota Motor Corporation’s Yaris.
Mercedes-Benz and BMW AG each had three models at the top premium segments. Mercedes-Benz got the top spot with its midsize E-Class car and large S-class car. Its GL-Class tied with General Motors Corporation’s Cadillac Escalade EXT for a top spot in a segment that includes large luxury SUVs and crossovers.
Meanwhile, BMW’s 3 Series and 6 Series cars as well as its X5 midsize crossover SUV all received top rankings.
Each had two vehicles at the top rankings were the GM, Ford Motor Company, Nissan Motor Company and Volkswagen AG. They were divided into 19 segments.
Neal Oddes, J.D. Power’s director of product research and analysis, said in a statement that models which were first introduced tend to get the highest scores. He added that it is necessary for car makers to get new-vehicle launches right.
For a third consecutive year, Porsche AG was the overall highest-ranking nameplate. The most improved nameplate was bagged by Toyota’s youth-focused Scion. Placing 2nd overall was the BMW nameplate followed by DaimlerChrysler AG’s Mercedes-Benz, Ford’s Jaguar and Toyota’s Lexus - all luxury brands.
According to the surveyor, J.D. Power, the survey gave good news to the Detroit Three automakers. It said that GM had 11 models in the top three spots in their respective segments, while Ford had four that includes the Edge crossover at the top of its segment. DaimlerChrysler had seven, but the Dodge Charger was Chrysler Group’s only vehicle to make it to the top three.
Toyota along with the Toyota, Lexus and Scion brands, which are all well equipped with Toyota cornering lights, had eight models in the top three by segment.
J.D. Power said that the survey is in its 12th year now and it gauges “owner delight with the design, content, layout and performance of their new vehicles.” It said that the results also offer a lesson for automakers, which often depend on discounts and other incentives to boost sales. It says that in the survey, drivers of some of the higher-ranking vehicles reported getting smaller incentives than those of some of the vehicles with low rankings.
Oddes said that it is essential for manufacturers to integrate those `must-have’ features and design elements that will attract buyers. Such features and design elements also reduce the need for large customer cash rebates.
Based in Westlake Village, Calif., J.D. Power said that the 2007 Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout Study is based on the responses which were gathered by mail between February and May from more than 91,000 people who bought or leased new 2007 model-year vehicles.
The said survey is done to jive with J.D. Power’s annual initial quality rankings which were released earlier this month. Those rankings showed that Toyota was surpassed by Ford as leader of the pack. Ford grabbed more individual awards than any other automaker for the first time since 1998, when it tied for the top rank.

Malibu Personal Injury Lawyer’s Top Ten Things You Do not Want to Hear an Insurance Company Say After a Personal Injury Car Accident
R. Sebastian Gibson asked:
1. We’ve never heard of you.
2. When did you send in your payment?
3. That’s not an insured car.
4. Family members are excluded.
5. That’s not a covered use.
6. The police have determined you’re at fault.
7. Our own investigation has determined you’re at fault.
8. While you were drunk, you admitted you were at fault.
9. We’re cancelling your coverage.
10. Coverage for that? Not in your life.
Here are ten useful tips of advice from a personal injury lawyer to follow if you have been in an accident. You can also learn more about how to handle a personal injury in Malibu, or any city, by calling the Law Offices of R. Sebastian Gibson at any of the numbers which can be found on our website at http://www.SebastianGibsonLaw.com and learning how we can assist you.
Obviously, if you have had an accident, and you are reading all of this advice, it’s probably been at least a few days since the accident. However, if it’s only been a few hours or if you ever have another accident, here’s what you should do the next time from the start.
First, take a look around and determine if you or anyone, are hurt. If so, taking steps like trying to prevent further injury or loss of blood are the most important thing you can do. Even if some other driver caused you to be injured, it’s just good manners to help the other driver if they are hurt. They may even be so thankful that they admit their fault to you. The worst thing you can do is get angry or start a fight.
Second, make sure everyone is safe from being injured further. If you are in the middle of traffic, and you are dizzy, sit down away from traffic. If your vehicle is a traffic hazard and you have accident warning devices like flares or triangles, put them out on the road to warn other drivers and get away from the car. Let the police an other emergency personnel investigate the scene with the vehicles in place and move them more safely at a later point.
Third, call the police. Accident reports are extremely helpful if the police will do such a report. Let the police know you are injured immediately. Answer the police questions honestly. But if you are dazed or confused, let them know you need medical treatment and answer only what you feel sure about. Remember, your statements can and will be used against you if you admit fault, and it will be too late and too fishy to later say you didn’t know what you were saying at the scene. Police know that your best recollection is immediately after an accident.
Fourth, get the other driver’s information including their names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, make and model of their vehicles, license plate numbers, and their insurance company name and policy number. If there are witnesses, get their names, addresses and telephone numbers as well. If the other driver makes any admissions of fault, write those down as well.
Fifth, if you have a camera on your cell phone or in the car and you aren’t too injured, take some photos of the vehicles and the scene. If you can’t do it right away, do it after you are released from the hospital.
Sixth, if you are hurt, obtain medical treatment. Don’t decline the ambulance or hospital examination to save your insurance company money or to be stoic. Take your valuables out of your car if you can and get checked out at the hospital. If you are not hurt, don’t get treatment you don’t need. However, remember, after an accident, you may feel a rush of adrenaline that causes you to only start feeling symptoms of pain a few hours later. If you have a health plan that requires you to obtain permission first, call them and find out where you are allowed to seek treatment.
Seventh, call a good personal injury lawyer as soon as you have had your initial treatment, so the attorney can gather other important evidence and prevent the insurance company from taking advantage of you and obtaining such things as recorded statements that you feel fine, when many of your symptoms have yet to manifest themselves. A good personal injury lawyer can save you from making a great deal of mistakes and can shoulder much of the hassle of knowing what to do about car repairs, car rentals, medical treatment, witness statements and the like. If you think you will save money by not having an attorney, think again. A good personal injury lawyer can almost always obtain much higher settlements, obtain reductions of medical bills and insurance liens and prevent you from making costly mistakes. Also, most personal injury attorneys advance costs of obtaining police reports, medical records and the like and are paid and reimbursed for these costs only out of any settlement.
Eight, you will need to report the accident to your insurance company, but since they will want to take a recorded statement from you, just like any other driver’s insurance company, it’s good advice to retain an attorney first. And if the other driver did not have insurance, remember that it is your own insurance company that will be your adversary. You will also need to report the accident to the Department of Motor Vehicles and your lawyer can give you the form for this.
Ninth, do not agree to settle your claim privately with the person at fault for the accident. This almost never works out to your advantage. Don’t agree not to call the police. Police reports that determine the fault for an accident are golden. Your agreement to not involve the police only affords an opportunity for the other driver to change his story and blame you when the police will no longer investigate the accident.
Tenth, don’t pay a traffic ticket without a fight if you weren’t at fault or agree to accept a small payment for your vehicle repairs without knowing that the amount will in fact cover the cost of all the repairs.
If you’ve had a personal injury in Malibu, Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks.Carson, Brentwood, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Camarillo, Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Oxnard, Cambria or San Luis Obispo, or anywhere in Southern California, we have the knowledge and resources to be your Malibu Personal Injury Lawyer and your Pacific Palisades Personal Injury Attorney. Be sure to hire a California law firm with auto, motorcycle, truck, bicycle, pedestrian, car, bus, train, boat and airplane accident experience, wrongful death experience and insurance law expertise who can ensure you are properly represented and get the compensation you deserve.
If you have a personal injury legal matter, a dog bite or if you’ve lost a loved one in a wrongful death accident, call the Law Offices of R. Sebastian Gibson, or visit our website at http://www.SebastianGibsonLaw.com and learn how we can assist you.

Weight Loss and Body Contouring by Large-volume Liposuction in Beverly Hills
Dr.seanyounai asked:
Los Angeles and Beverly Hills liposuction has become a new method of weight loss for men and women who are overweight or obese. While bariatric surgery has revolutionized surgical weight management throughout California and the US; people are realizing its risks, complications, and long term side-effects on body shape. Heavy and large people who reach a frustrating plateau after diet and exercise, find large-volume-liposuction an alternative to gastric bypass surgery.
They have seen their overweight friends who have had weight loss surgery not only lose excess body fat, but also uncontrollably lose body mass in the areas that they wanted to keep! For example, after lap band surgery, women often find their breasts shrink away and sag. Rapid and massive total body weight loss results in sagging skin that drapes off arms, abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. Obese men and women of Los Angeles and Beverly Hills who were once happy to have lost much weight with gastric bypass are now facing another dilemma- how not to look and feel disgusting when they take off their clothes.
Large Volume Liposuction can drastically reduce dress size by removing unwanted fat from selected body areas, instead of the whole body as experienced with bariatric surgery. Meanwhile, this method of Los Angeles liposuction keeps full other body areas such as the buttocks, breasts, and the face. Among overweight people in Los Angeles, there are many that have changed their lifestyle and eating habits in a way not to gain any further weight. Despite their sacrifice they become frustrated with their inability to lose weight in certain areas of their body. For example, they wished that they could reduce their thigh size to the proportion of their upper body. Some want to only lose weight in their gut without getting thinner legs. These people find large volume liposuction as an effective alternative to Bariatric surgery.
Large volume liposuction was born out of the desire of plus size women to look curvy and sexy, without having to become too thin. Large volume liposuction accomplishes more than weight loss; it provides heavy set men and women with the shape and figure that they always wanted. This is accomplished safely when liposuction is performed by a board certified plastic surgeon who has the depth of knowledge, experience, and support structure to conduct large volume liposuction.
Doctor Sean Younai, MD, FACS, is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Los Angeles who has been performing body contouring and large volume liposuction for more than a decade. As a large-volume liposuction specialist he is routinely sought by patients from all over the United States and abroad. Locally, he serves men and women from the Northern as well as the Southern California regions. Some of these cities are Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Hollywood, Burbank, Sherman Oaks, Encino, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Pasadena, Glendale, Valencia, Palmdale, Fresno, Bakersfield, and Oxnard.

24 Shooting Delayed by San Diego Fires
Groshan Fabiola asked:
Despite being on a strict time table, the production of season 7 of 24 can’t help but take the backseat as destructive wild fires have been hitting San Diego in the past two days. The shooting of season 7 of the highly watched series has been interrupted, and some plans have also been changed. Kiefer Sutherland, along with the production team were supposed to visit the Marine Corp’s El Toro Air Station to shoot some scenes, but the smoke in the area was too overwhelming for them to handle. The 24 producers were then forced to shoot some additional scenes on inside sets instead.
So far, 24 hasn’t been the only show to be affected by these fires, as CBS’ Cold Case and ABC’s Big Shots’ production have also been interrupted. Some of the Simi Valley sets for Cold Case have been blown down by the strong winds in the area. Fans don’t have to worry, though, as their favorite stars are fine. However, the same cannot be said about the thousands of people who have been evacuated in the area. The death toll is currently at 1, and we all hope that the number does not multiply in the days to come. Nonetheless, the firefighters and rescue workers will have everything under control as soon as possible.
In other 24 news, the world premiere of Day 7 will be airing two days from now. On October 25, FOX will reveal the first hour of season 7 of 24. The big screen in Times Square will air the trailer at 1pm ET/10am PT, and will be available online shortly afterwards. In addition, the Game 2 of the World Series will also host the first on-air FOX promo for the upcoming season.
Catch 24 on Sunday nights, 8/7c beginning on January 13 only on FOX.

California Resort Has Mexican Beach Feel
Cary Ordway asked:
For those who’ve tried them, Mexican beach resorts are among the most relaxing vacations or getaways one can imagine long stretches of beach, palm trees, a cerveza or margarita never far from one’s grasp. It’s easy to drift along like some white fluffy cloud with your only worry being when the next drink server will come along.
But not many folks can afford to do this very often.Today’s air fare is a little higher than in past years so these aren’t exactly cheap vacations. And it’s hardly worth going to Mexico unless you can stay a week — who has a week anymore to just sit and do nothing?
The answer is to find a similar resort that’s a little closer and, when you eliminate your airfare, a little cheaper. You need to find someplace where you can just hop in your car and drive a few hours, stay two or three days, and get back home just as refreshed as if you’d been to the Mexican Riviera.
You need to check out the Embassy Suites Hotel Mandalay Beach Resort in, of all places, Oxnard, California. This is a California vacation that feels like you’re in the heart of Mexico.
Before we visited the Mandalay Beach Resort, my only recollection of Oxnard was a time when I was 19 years old driving through California with a buddy, eating cans of tuna fish to save money and looking for a place to crash that was just as cheap as cheap could get. We found just such a place in Oxnard, but were too scared of our surroundings to get to sleep.
Fast forward to Oxnard of the New Millennium and, while its tourism infrastructure is not quite complete, the area is fast becoming a popular destination for people who enjoy California beach vacations. About an hour’s drive northwest of Los Angeles, the area is close enough to major population areas to be accessible, yet undeveloped enough to feel like you’re really getting away from the rat race.
Positioned on some of the best real estate in the Oxnard area, the Mandalay Beach Resort is everything that the Oxnard visitor industry wants to be it’s a waterfront playground that has style, lots of amenities, plenty of wide-open spaces and a wide beach that stretches for miles. And, yes, it has plenty of Mexican beer and margaritas.
Traveling Highway 101 northwest from Los Angeles, you’d never imagine that this resort area was just a few miles off the freeway. The urban sprawl along the freeway is not particularly attractive and most people headed north know that an especially spectacular beachside city of Santa Barbara is just another half hour ahead. So it’s no wonder that people just don’t think of Oxnard when they think vacation paradise.
But if you take the Victoria Avenue exit and travel across several miles of agricultural fields, you will come to the Mandalay Beach area, one of many beaches along this part of the coast. The Mandalay Bay Resort with its attractive early California Spanish design, is a large complex of several buildings that include 248 suites in all. Tropical plants, giant palm trees of every variety and a series of waterfalls give the resort a feeling similar to many beachside resorts we have visited in places like Puerto Vallarta, Cancun and Cozumel. An inviting pool is the centerpiece for the courtyard while the resort’s restaurant and bar areas are nearby.
We immediately explored the grounds and found our way out to the many paved walking and bike paths that traverse the beach. Parked near the resort’s beach entrance were several peddle-cars and bicycles that, as far as we could tell, were getting rented quite frequently by the many families who were staying at the resort.
The beach itself was one of the most inviting we’ve seenin Southern California. The resort looks out onto an area of sand dunes and, beyond that, the broad beach. Off in the distance we saw the Channel Islands, an easy boat trip from nearby Channel Islands Harbor. Once out to the beach, we noticed that there was plenty of walking — both north and south — and, even though this was a warm summer Sunday, not a lot of people compared with other Southern California beaches.
A little bit north of the resort is the Mandalay Beach at Oxnard Park with its sweeping lawns and outdoor facilities. Further south is Hollywood Beach, which was the location for a movie called The Sheik starring Rudolph Valentino. Filmed in 1924, the movie needed a location with an Arabian feel and this part of the coast was deemed to have it.
Back at the resort, we settled in for some serious poolside sun tanning and could see that the guests were a mixture of couples and families who seemed typical of the crowd you would find at any Mexican beach resort. For all intents and purposes this was Mexico just a kinder, gentler version in which you have no worries about the water, the food or the airfare.
The suites at the Mandalay are spacious and comfortable. Our “king suite” had a king bed in one room and sofa-bed in the other room. The unit was apartment-like with a refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave and wet bar although you won’t need a kitchen for breakfast because a big one is offered free for all guests. Our suite opened out to the beach and had a separate table and chairs on the patio with a nearby lawn area.
California beach vacations can include much more than sitting on the beach, and the Mandalay is no exception. There is plenty todo in the Oxnard area including many beach and ocean activities. You can take a trip out to the Channel Islands National Park either half or full day excursions are offered. Kayaks, paddle boats and motor boats are available for rent. Or, if you just enjoy being around boats, visit the spectacular Channel Islands Harbor, home to 2,600 boat slips, a maritime museum, three shopping centers and some waterside restaurants.
Not far from Oxnard, Ventura and Santa Barbara are great day trips that are quick and easy to reach by car. About a half-hour drive east from the resort is the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, which we made a point to visit in Simi Valley. The death of Reagan and the resulting publicity apparently has created even more interest in Reagan and this fascinating collection of artifacts, photos and records help us to learn more about our former president.
Located on a magnificent piece of land overlooking the Simi Valley, the Reagan Library is well organized and includes interesting bits of memorabilia at every turn. Outside the library is a piece of the Berlin Wall, as well as Reagan’s final resting place. Inside are clothing, jewelry, desks, private papers just about anything you can imagine taken from various points of Reagan’s life. Photos help us to remember how it was for example, when you see a dress worn by Nancy Reagan, you also will see a photo of her wearing that dress. Especially interesting was the full-scale replica of the Oval Office which gives you a real sense of what that room feels like, and how large it is.
So, as it turned out, our trip to a Mexican-like resort actually was much more than cerveza and margaritas it turned out to be a history lesson as well.
AT A GLANCE
WHERE: Oxnard is 65 miles northwest of Los Angeles and about 30 miles southeast of Santa Barbara.
WHAT: The Embassy Suites Hotel Mandalay Beach is a one-of-a-kind resort in Oxnard, clearly the crown jewel of the local tourism industry. While the beach is public, the resort is the only major hotel taking advantage of that particular stretch of sand. Hence, the beach is beautiful, but uncrowded. As California beach vacations go, this is in the top tier.
WHEN: Any time of the year. Weather in this part of Southern California is pleasant year-round, although nights will be chilly and the ocean will be much colder — in winter. Be sure to check for travel deals and vacation packages that may be available certain times of the year. This resort does not fall under the heading of “cheap vacations” but prices are reasonable.
WHY: The Mandalay Beach Resort is an easy-to-reach, full service resort that is off-the-beaten path but still close to many beach services and activities. It’s a great drive-to substitute for a Mexican beach vacation.
HOW: To make a reservation or get more information, phone 1-805-984-2500 or 1-800-EMBASSY, or go to www.mandalaybeach.embsuites.com. Prices per night for a king suite are about $265 and include free breakfast and a free evening reception. For more information on the Reagan Presidential Library, call (800) 410-8354

Thousand Oaks Motorcycle Accident Lawyer’s Top Ten Things About the Economic Meltdown That Cause Motorcycle Accidents
R. Sebastian Gibson asked:
1. To save money, more people are riding motorcycles. Many of those drivers are inexperienced and unprepared for the dangers motorcyclists face.
2. People worried about the economy don’t think to look out for motorcyclists.
3. People who have recently lost their job are too depressed to be careful drivers.
4. People who are depressed drink more and take more drugs.
5. People who can’t sell their homes are often lost in thought.
6. People who are losing their homes are often not even thinking about the road.
7. Drivers with savings that are evaporating will make careless mistakes.
8. Drivers who are worried about their retirement accounts don’t look ahead.
9. Drivers in fear of losing their businesses may be angry drivers.
10. Drivers who have less business and less and less money may not react fast enough to prevent an accident with a motorcyclists.
All of these things cause drivers to drive less carefully as they get lost in thought or drive while depressed.
Here are ten useful tips of advice from a motorcycle accident lawyer to follow if you find yourself in an accident. You can also learn more about how to handle a motorcycle accident in Thousand Oaks, or any city, by calling the Law Offices of R. Sebastian Gibson at any of the numbers which can be found on our website at http://www.SebastianGibsonLaw.com and learning how we can assist you.
Obviously, if you have had an accident, and you are reading all of this advice, it’s probably been at least a few days since the accident. However, if it’s only been a few hours or if you ever have another accident, here’s what you should do the next time from the start.
First, take a look around and determine if you or anyone, are hurt. If so, taking steps like trying to prevent further injury or loss of blood are the most important thing you can do. Even if some other driver caused you to be injured, it’s just good manners to help the other driver if they are hurt. They may even be so thankful that they admit their fault to you. The worst thing you can do is get angry or start a fight.
Second, make sure everyone is safe from being injured further. If you are in the middle of traffic, and you are dizzy, sit down away from traffic. If your vehicle is a traffic hazard and you have accident warning devices like flares or triangles, put them out on the road to warn other drivers and get away from the car. Let the police an other emergency personnel investigate the scene with the vehicles in place and move them more safely at a later point.
Third, call the police. Accident reports are extremely helpful if the police will do such a report. Let the police know you are injured immediately. Answer the police questions honestly. But if you are dazed or confused, let them know you need medical treatment and answer only what you feel sure about. Remember, your statements can and will be used against you if you admit fault, and it will be too late and too fishy to later say you didn’t know what you were saying at the scene. Police know that your best recollection is immediately after an accident.
Fourth, get the other driver’s information including their names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, make and model of their vehicles, license plate numbers, and their insurance company name and policy number. If there are witnesses, get their names, addresses and telephone numbers as well. If the other driver makes any admissions of fault, write those down as well.
Fifth, if you have a camera on your cell phone or in the car and you aren’t too injured, take some photos of the vehicles and the scene. If you can’t do it right away, do it after you are released from the hospital.
Sixth, if you are hurt, obtain medical treatment. Don’t decline the ambulance or hospital examination to save your insurance company money or to be stoic. Take your valuables out of your car if you can and get checked out at the hospital. If you are not hurt, don’t get treatment you don’t need. However, remember, after an accident, you may feel a rush of adrenaline that causes you to only start feeling symptoms of pain a few hours later. If you have a health plan that requires you to obtain permission first, call them and find out where you are allowed to seek treatment.
Seventh, call a good motorcycle accident lawyer as soon as you have had your initial treatment, so the attorney can gather other important evidence and prevent the insurance company from taking advantage of you and obtaining such things as recorded statements that you feel fine, when many of your symptoms have yet to manifest themselves. A good motorcycle accident lawyer can save you from making a great deal of mistakes and can shoulder much of the hassle of knowing what to do about car repairs, car rentals, medical treatment, witness statements and the like. If you think you will save money by not having an attorney, think again. A good motorcycle accident lawyer can almost always obtain much higher settlements, obtain reductions of medical bills and insurance liens and prevent you from making costly mistakes. Also, most motorcycle accident attorneys advance costs of obtaining police reports, medical records and the like and are paid and reimbursed for these costs only out of any settlement.
Eight, you will need to report the accident to your insurance company, but since they will want to take a recorded statement from you, just like any other driver’s insurance company, it’s good advice to retain an attorney first. And if the other driver did not have insurance, remember that it is your own insurance company that will be your adversary. You will also need to report the accident to the Department of Motor Vehicles and your lawyer can give you the form for this.
Ninth, do not agree to settle your claim privately with the person at fault for the accident. This almost never works out to your advantage. Don’t agree not to call the police. Police reports that determine the fault for an accident are golden. Your agreement to not involve the police only affords an opportunity for the other driver to change his story and blame you when the police will no longer investigate the accident.
Tenth, don’t pay a traffic ticket without a fight if you weren’t at fault or agree to accept a small payment for your vehicle repairs without knowing that the amount will in fact cover the cost of all the repairs.
If you’ve had a motorcycle accident in Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Camarillo, Torrance, Carson, Brentwood, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Oxnard, Cambria or San Luis Obispo, or anywhere in Southern California, we have the knowledge and resources to be your Thousand Oaks Motorcycle Accident Lawyer and your Ventura Motorcycle Accident Attorney. Be sure to hire a California law firm with auto, motorcycle, truck, bicycle, pedestrian, car, bus, train, boat and airplane accident experience, wrongful death experience and insurance law expertise who can ensure you are properly represented and get the compensation you deserve.
If you have a personal injury legal matter, a dog bite or if you’ve lost a loved one in a wrongful death accident, call the Law Offices of R. Sebastian Gibson, or visit our website at http://www.SebastianGibsonLaw.com and learn how we can assist you.

Here are ten useful tips of advice from a motorcycle accident lawyer to follow if you find yourself in an accident. You can also learn more about how to handle a motorcycle accident in Thousand Oaks, or any city, by calling the Law Offices of R. Sebastian Gibson at any of the numbers which can be found on our website at http://www.SebastianGibsonLaw.com and learning how we can assist you.
Obviously, if you have had an accident, and you are reading all of this advice, it’s probably been at least a few days since the accident. However, if it’s only been a few hours or if you ever have another accident, here’s what you should do the next time from the start.
First, take a look around and determine if you or anyone, are hurt. If so, taking steps like trying to prevent further injury or loss of blood are the most important thing you can do. Even if some other driver caused you to be injured, it’s just good manners to help the other driver if they are hurt. They may even be so thankful that they admit their fault to you. The worst thing you can do is get angry or start a fight.
Second, make sure everyone is safe from being injured further. If you are in the middle of traffic, and you are dizzy, sit down away from traffic. If your vehicle is a traffic hazard and you have accident warning devices like flares or triangles, put them out on the road to warn other drivers and get away from the car. Let the police an other emergency personnel investigate the scene with the vehicles in place and move them more safely at a later point.
Third, call the police. Accident reports are extremely helpful if the police will do such a report. Let the police know you are injured immediately. Answer the police questions honestly. But if you are dazed or confused, let them know you need medical treatment and answer only what you feel sure about. Remember, your statements can and will be used against you if you admit fault, and it will be too late and too fishy to later say you didn’t know what you were saying at the scene. Police know that your best recollection is immediately after an accident.
Fourth, get the other driver’s information including their names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, make and model of their vehicles, license plate numbers, and their insurance company name and policy number. If there are witnesses, get their names, addresses and telephone numbers as well. If the other driver makes any admissions of fault, write those down as well.
Fifth, if you have a camera on your cell phone or in the car and you aren’t too injured, take some photos of the vehicles and the scene. If you can’t do it right away, do it after you are released from the hospital.
Sixth, if you are hurt, obtain medical treatment. Don’t decline the ambulance or hospital examination to save your insurance company money or to be stoic. Take your valuables out of your car if you can and get checked out at the hospital. If you are not hurt, don’t get treatment you don’t need. However, remember, after an accident, you may feel a rush of adrenaline that causes you to only start feeling symptoms of pain a few hours later. If you have a health plan that requires you to obtain permission first, call them and find out where you are allowed to seek treatment.
Seventh, call a good motorcycle accident lawyer as soon as you have had your initial treatment, so the attorney can gather other important evidence and prevent the insurance company from taking advantage of you and obtaining such things as recorded statements that you feel fine, when many of your symptoms have yet to manifest themselves. A good motorcycle accident lawyer can save you from making a great deal of mistakes and can shoulder much of the hassle of knowing what to do about car repairs, car rentals, medical treatment, witness statements and the like. If you think you will save money by not having an attorney, think again. A good motorcycle accident lawyer can almost always obtain much higher settlements, obtain reductions of medical bills and insurance liens and prevent you from making costly mistakes. Also, most motorcycle accident attorneys advance costs of obtaining police reports, medical records and the like and are paid and reimbursed for these costs only out of any settlement.
Eight, you will need to report the accident to your insurance company, but since they will want to take a recorded statement from you, just like any other driver’s insurance company, it’s good advice to retain an attorney first. And if the other driver did not have insurance, remember that it is your own insurance company that will be your adversary. You will also need to report the accident to the Department of Motor Vehicles and your lawyer can give you the form for this.
Ninth, do not agree to settle your claim privately with the person at fault for the accident. This almost never works out to your advantage. Don’t agree not to call the police. Police reports that determine the fault for an accident are golden. Your agreement to not involve the police only affords an opportunity for the other driver to change his story and blame you when the police will no longer investigate the accident.
Tenth, don’t pay a traffic ticket without a fight if you weren’t at fault or agree to accept a small payment for your vehicle repairs without knowing that the amount will in fact cover the cost of all the repairs.
If you’ve had a motorcycle accident in Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Camarillo, Torrance, Carson, Brentwood, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Oxnard, Cambria or San Luis Obispo, or anywhere in Southern California, we have the knowledge and resources to be your Thousand Oaks Motorcycle Accident Lawyer and your Ventura Motorcycle Accident Attorney.

Austin Texas Neighborhood Profiles: Davenport Ranch
Eric Bramlett asked:
Davenport Ranch is an exclusive Texas community located on the beautiful Westlake peninsula. Just west and south of Lake Austin and directly east of Loop 360, or Capital of Texas Highway, Davenport Ranch is very conveniently located. The community has expanded each year, especially since the construction of Loop 360 and the Pennybacker Bridge in 1983. Today, residents of the community enjoy exceptional shopping and recreation opportunities that were once only available to much larger neighborhoods. At the same time, careful planning and development have ensured that the community remains safe, clean, and pleasant to live in.
First developed in the early 1980s, Davenport Ranch was first envisioned as a community that would offer serene hilltop views and gorgeous Austin skyline views to residents. As amenities of Austin have moved west, Davenport Ranch has grown considerably, still offering that same serenity and peace, but with greater convenience as well. Only 15 minutes from downtown Austin, Davenport Ranch offers easy access to a world-class city without all the urban headaches.
Davenport Ranch offers exceptional housing opportunities for discriminating house buyers. There are communities of lakefront patio homes and hillside houses as well as some executive apartments available. Buyers have the option of choosing homes with mature lots or newly constructed homes that offer custom options. In all cases, however, home buyers can expect excellent quality homes in this exclusive neighborhood. There is an exceptional range of single-family homes to choose from. A well-maintained patio-home community in the neighborhood with mature lots offers 50 units right on the scenic shores of Lake Austin. A new development, called Davenport West, is being built on the west side of Capital of Texas Highway. With many new single-family homes and a chic apartment complex, this new development allows buyers to customize their home while enjoying a completely new property with all the latest amenities. The new development is also close to additional dining and shopping, making its location highly desirable.
Davenport Ranch is an excellent place to raise a family. The community is part of the Eanes independent school district. This award-winning school district is considered to be one of the best in Texas. Offering top-flight elementary and high schools, Eanes prepares generations of Davenport Ranch for bright futures.
Davenport Ranch offers quiet, scenic living - but with plenty of recreational opportunities. Davenport Ranch blends Hill Country outdoors with urban experience for an exceptional lifestyle and living standard. The nearby Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve offers hiking trails which allow bicyclists and hikers the opportunity to bask in the natural beauty of Texas. Residents also enjoy afternoons at the Austin Country Club, which boasts a highly-regarded golf course as well as other amenities. Boat ramps nearby let residents enjoy water sports on Lake Austin. Shoppers will adore the Davenport Village shopping center, considered by many of offer the best high-end shopping in the city.
