<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
Trying to find the right <b>injury lawyer</b> is very difficult. Everyone says they can handle your case but most are not really qualified. Many advertising claims, even by lawyers, are not legitimate. We know this for a fact because we have seen it. Most accident lawyers are not "board certified."</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
OUR MAIN OFFICE IS IN NEW YORK. But we are a NATIONAL LAW FIRM of accomplished trial lawyers who handle these types of cases in EVERY STATE. We have some of the highest verdicts and settlements in legal history. We have expertise in this field. In fact, our founder, Daniel Buttafuoco, wrote the test for The <b>National Board of Trial Advocacy </b>in 1990.</div>

You also want one who is ethical and honest. AND you want someone aggressively fighting for you who is sensitive to your needs. </span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">That </span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">is us!</span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: small;">It's October 29, 2012. You and your family heeded government warnings and evacuated your home on the South shore of Long Island, New York. Hurricane Sandy is ravaging the coast, and you can do nothing but wait for it to end.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: small;">The next day you return to your home, hoping it is still standing. As you enter the front door, you initially notice that the floor is covered with sand and debris. Water stains mark each wall, parallel to the ground at about three feet high. Everything on your first floor is destroyed, along with major damage to your home's exterior. Your cars are totaled.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: small;">But, you are a Christian, and you keep things in their proper perspective. You think, "Thank God that my family is OK", and then, "Thank God that I have insurance!" You call your insurance company to make a claim, knowing that at least you won't suffer a major financial setback. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b><span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Is this Wrong? </span></b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: small;">What were your first thoughts when reading the above story? Did you think it is a sin to make an insurance claim? Did you think, "Christians should stay out of court"? Did the above story conjure thoughts of something dishonest or dubious? No? </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>Then why do many Christians have these thoughts when faced with making a <a href="http://www.1800nowhurt.com/">personal injury claim</a>? The answer is multifaceted, but I believe predominantly stems firstly from a misinterpretation of scripture and secondly from marketing by insurance companies.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b><span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">What is the Distinction?</span></b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: small;">It is perplexing that the same Christians who would unhesitantly pursue a property damage claim, refuse to make a <a href="http://www.1800nowhurt.com/">personal injury</a> claim. A comparison of a property damage claim and personal injury claim will reveal little distinction. Both cases begin as a claim and may end up in court. Both cases are paid out by billion dollar insurance companies, whose business is to sell insurance and pay claims. Also, neither claim will be paid personally by an individual involved in a lawsuit. Neither case will take money out of an individuals pocket nor take a family's house away.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: small;">The belief that it might be a sin or somehow displeasing to God to bring a <a href="http://www.1800nowhurt.com/">personal injury lawsuit</a> makes sense on the surface, because Christians are supposed to be "forgiving" and not seek revenge as "Vengeance is mine, says the Lord." Christians who accept this superficial rationale allow themselves to be twice victimized; first by the injury, and second by a misapplication of scripture. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: small;">So why is there such a stigma on Christian personal injury lawsuits? </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><b>Did Paul Say Don't Go to Court?</b> </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: small;">Perhaps the most often cited scripture against Christians using the courts is 1 Corinthians 6. You may have heard that Christians should "stay out of court". A careful reading of this passage reveals that this interpretation is in error. 1 Corinthians 6:1-2 states:</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="s1">If any of you has a dispute with another, do you dare to take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the Lord’s people? Or do you not know that the Lord’s people will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge </span><span class="s2"><b><i>trivial</i></b></span><span class="s1"> cases? (1 Corinthians 6:1-2 Emphasis added)</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>Paul specifically mentions "trivial" cases. This statement about trivial cases is the backdrop for 1 Corinthians 6. Paul is pleading with the Corinthians to keep their trivial matters out of court. This is not a blanket prohibition against using the court system. Also, an injury to one's body is never trivial! In fact, your body, as the Temple of the Holy Spirit and made in the image of God, is more infinitely valuable than any property and infinitely more deserving of protections offered by society.</span></span></div>

<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: small;">1 Corinthians 6 is clearly written for disputes <i>amongst believers</i>. It does not state that a believer should not sue a nonbeliever. This would make no sense since a non-believer would not submit to the </span><span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">"Lord's people" for adjudication of a matter. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: small;">Paul did not want Christians suing Christians where a Roman jail might be involved. Roman justice was very harsh and favored the rich and powerful. This is absolutely not the case in the modern day personal injury case. The injured party is never in the superior position, as the insurance companies have an inexhaustible supply of money and thousands of attorneys on their side. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: small;">Modern civil disputes, specifically for serious personal injuries must use the courts as there is no other way to proceed. A modern day lawsuit is nothing more than a dispute resolution system provided for by your tax dollars to uphold the rule of law. Civil lawsuits protect society by acting as a deterrence to bad conduct. To protect people, the government has set up a civil court system whereby private citizens can resolve disputes with other private citizens and insurance companies when they have a significant injury inflicted upon them. In failing to pursue a personal injury claim, one may unwittingly permit the offending party to inflict injury on other members of the public. </span></span></div>

<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: small;">This brings to mind a recent case handled by my office. My client, I'll call him Tom, was biking, when a woman in a car ran a stop sign and collided with Tom. He landed about 12 feet away and sustained serious injuries. The defendant in this case then fled the scene of the accident, <i>but only</i> after she stopped, saw exactly what she had done, and considered her options. We brought a lawsuit which not only compensated our client for his injuries, but also let the defendant's insurance company know what she did. This served to protect the public in that the defendant will likely have to carry more insurance in the future, and hopefully will more carefully consider her conduct when driving. </span></span></div>

<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: small;">God has not only allowed personal injury lawsuits but he has actually ordained them in the Scriptures. In Exodus Chapters 21 and 22 God instructs Moses on the way personal injury claims are to be handled. So, God not only is not against injury lawsuits, in fact he believes they are important enough to set up a system to deal with them. </span></span></div>

For years, consumers have been inundated with propaganda from the insurance companies convincing them that every claim is illegitimate and that there is rampant fraud against the insurance companies. This is simply not true. This is actually just an attempt by insurance companies to minimize the number of claims that people make. It is a great business model for them - collect billions of dollars in premiums, and convince their customers that if they make a claim it is unscrupulous or fraudulent. </span></span></div>

These built-in devices allow drivers to control navigation, music, messaging, phone calls, internet, and more - just like a cell phone. While the goal of allowing drivers to keep their hands on the wheel is admirable, the evidence shows distraction doesn’t go away just because the device is hands-free. That’s because distraction doesn’t occur in the hands, it occurs in the head!</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: small;">More than thirty studies have shown that hands-free devices do not make drivers safer because the brain remains distracted.“What we found is that you’re not cognitively focused on driving, but the distraction,” said Beth Mosher, spokeswoman for the American Automobile Association in Chicago. In spite of the evidence, 80% of drivers believe hands-free devices are safer than handheld.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: small;">Automakers manufacture vehicles with the features that consumers value. This does not mean these features are safe. “Automakers agree that hands on the wheel and eyes on the road continue to be critical to safe driving,” said Wade Newton, a spokesman for the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers.“ Portable phones and navigation devices are everywhere, and consumers are using these devices in their vehicles. It’s important to discourage drivers from using portable electronics because they were never designed to be used while driving.”</span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: small;">This message isn’t getting out though - 53% of U.S. drivers think a hands-free device must be safe if it is built into the vehicle. These devices are wonderful in many ways and are certainly a convenience, but we must always remember that taking our attention away from the <a href="http://www.1800nowhurt.com/" target="_blank">road while driving</a> is incredibly risky.</span></span></div>

</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">
Friends Jim Hamre, 61, and Zack Willhoite, 35, </span><a href="http://www.1800nowhurt.com/" style="font-family: inherit;">died of brain and skull injuries</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">. Benjamin Gran, 40, died of multiple </span><a href="http://www.1800nowhurt.com/" style="font-family: inherit;">traumatic injuries</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">.
</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">
Whimpering in pain, bleeding from </span><a href="http://www.1800nowhurt.com/" style="font-family: inherit;">head injuries</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> and dazed by the enormity of the crash, victims in the Amtrak train derailment south of Seattle begged 911 dispatchers for help and said "tons of people" had been hurt.
</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">
Dozens of emergency recordings released Wednesday by South Sound 911 Dispatch provided a vivid account of what happened during the deadly Dec. 18 crash.
</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">
"My abdomen hurts really bad. I don't feel good," said a crying woman identified as Angela who was bleeding from her head and wailed in panic each time she couldn't find an answer to a dispatcher's questions. "I don't know how old I am off the top of my head. I'm sorry!"
</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">
A passenger train on a newly opened Amtrak route jumped the tracks on an overpass south of Tacoma on Monday, slamming rail cars into a busy highway, killing at least three people and injuring about 100 others, officials said.
</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">
The derailment of </span><a href="http://www.1800nowhurt.com/" style="font-family: inherit;">Amtrak Train</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> No. 501, making the inaugural run of a new service from Seattle to Portland, dropped a 132-ton locomotive in the southbound lanes of the Northwest’s busiest travel corridor, Interstate 5. Two passenger coaches also fell partly in the traffic lanes, and two other coaches were left dangling off the bridge, one of them wedged against a tractor-trailer. On the highway below lay five crumpled cars, two semi trucks and huge chunks of concrete that were ripped away from the damaged overpass.
</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">
All 12 of the train’s coaches and one of its two engines derailed. The National Transportation Safety Board said at a Monday night briefing that the train had been traveling more than twice the speed limit before it derailed, or at 80 miles per hour instead of the allowable 30 m.p.h.
</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">
Don Anderson, mayor of Lakewood, about 11 miles northeast of the crash site, said shortly after the wreck that the tragedy "could've been avoided if better choices had been made" about using the route for upgraded passenger service.
</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">
"Our community was skeptical of the project both from a financial and safety standpoint, primarily a safety standpoint," Anderson said
</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">
The mayor of a city along a new route taken by the Amtrak </span><a href="http://www.1800nowhurt.com/" style="font-family: inherit;">train that derailed</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> in Washington state had expressed concerns about the line as long ago as 2013, court records show.</span></div>

<b>From Mark Freeley: owner of the dog that saved a baby deer from drowning.</b><span style="color: #7a7a7a;"><span style="background-image: url("https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CgVBJ84XwqU/0.jpg"); background-position: center center; background-repeat: no-repeat; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></span></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #7a7a7a;">I had taken Storm and my other dog, Sarah to the beach because I had been fostering two puppies all week that were such an interruption to our own dogs’ routine that I figured my dogs needed a break. The shoreline beach in Port Jefferson Harbor is not a bathing beach, so it’s quite dog friendly. Storm was off leash and running ahead of me and at a point I notice he is charging into the water and swimming after something. I saw a small animal’s head bobbing in the water and when I got closer I realized it was a fawn. Storm gets about 100 yards out to the fawn and its head goes under a few times. Storm reaches and grabs the baby deer by the neck and starts swimming to shore!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #7a7a7a; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Once he brings the fawn to shore, it just lay there at water’s edge. Storm was so excited he just stood over it as it lay there, panting. When it didn’t get up, Storm laid down next to it and started nudging it with his nose and head and then started pawing it just to get it to move.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #7a7a7a; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Since Storm was a puppy, we’ve had him go through a lot of training and socialization, particularly with residents in an assisted living facility, because we were considering him becoming a therapy dog. He is very calm with all sorts of animals gets along with other dogs very well. As a matter of fact, we have a pet rabbit who hops on top of him all the time with no problem. Though he would never even retrieve a ball for me, this fawn was a different story. He sensed that the fawn was in distress and was determined to rescue it.<br /><br /></div>

<span class="m_5705039252328104091gmail-s1">As most of you know, I am a <a href="http://www.1800nowhurt.com/" target="_blank">Personal Injury Attorney</a> and have been representing people like you, me and our family and friends against insurance companies and big business for over 25 years. When insurance companies refuse to fairly compensate people for the way their lives have been changed, we have always been able to present their case to a jury for them to decide what is fair and just.</span></div>
<div class="m_5705039252328104091gmail-p1" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">

<span class="m_5705039252328104091gmail-s1">However, there is a big push in Washington under the new administration to do away with your right to a jury trial, to cap your pain, suffering and loss of quality/enjoyment of life at $250,000.00 regardless of how seriously you were injured or how severely your life has changed due to someone else's carelessness. There is a Bill pending in Congress at this very minute which will severely limit our rights and limit access to our court system when we are injured. This is the gateway to mandatory arbitration anytime you are harmed, and that system tremendously favors insurance companies and big business.</span></div>
<div class="m_5705039252328104091gmail-p1" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">

<span class="m_5705039252328104091gmail-s1">There is no basis in fact for anything they are attempting to accomplish. In states where they have imposed caps on medical malpractice recoveries insurance premiums have actually increased for doctors.</span></div>
<div class="m_5705039252328104091gmail-p1" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">

<span class="m_5705039252328104091gmail-s1">The reality is this Bill will only serve to line the pockets of big business and insurance companies. Our right to a jury trial is under attack, and the name they use for this type of law is "Tort Reform". They call it this because people think that it is will be good for them and save them money from crazy juries...that is complete nonsense. Do not be fooled, these changes will only hurt those of us who become injured and will not reduce any our insurance rates. Just so you know, almost all large jury verdicts are reduced by the Trial court and then even further reduced by the Appellate Courts. Even many not so large verdicts are reduced. You only hear about the occasional crazy verdict in the news, never about the reductions and what the person actually recovers...it is MUCH different.</span></div>

That’s why choosing the right attorney is incredibly important. You must find someone competent, experienced in the area that you need help in, and with whom you can personally connect and build trust</span></div>

Once you have a name and number, call to schedule a consultation. Initial consultations are often free. When you meet, the attorney will want to know all about your case. There are also several things you will want to know about the attorney before making a hiring decision. To know what to ask about in your initial consultation, you need to know what to expect from an attorney. You should be able to expect the following if you have a good attorney.</span></div>

Justice was served for the family of a young boy who was left permanently disabled as a result of medical negligence by a doctor who performed 25 experimental surgeries on a correctable condition. In the settlement, the family was awarded $30 Million.</div>

The child was born in November 2009 with a leak in his esophagus and other conditions that were not life-threatening.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5b5a5a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18.852px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px;">
The suit alleged that the doctor was negligent when he performed a second operation less than a month after the first surgery to repair the leak, which had been conducted the day after the boy was born. Over the next 17 months, the doctor operated 24 more times on the baby, including placing and replacing a stent in his esophagus. In the final surgery performed at the hospital, the doctor used a suturing device to attempt to repair the esophagus, which was an inappropriate, off-label use of the device, the news release said. The doctor punctured the boy’s pulmonary artery, the suit said.</div>

Although a practice culture of abundant caution clearly exists, it seems likely that an aversion to legal risk exists in parallel with a more general risk aversion and with other behavioral, cultural, and economic motivations that might affect decision making. When legal risk decreases, the ‘path of least resistance ‘ may still favor resource- intensive care. Our results suggest that malpractice reform may have less effect on costs than has been projected. “</span></div>

A 26-year-old Queens resident and construction worker was crushed under the weight of an 18-foot high cinder block wall and its scaffolding the morning of January 10, 2011. The man was working under the scaffolding when the wall fell; his brother and two other workers were on top of the wall at the time and were able to ride the momentum of the wall down to safety, suffering injuries but surviving the collapse.<br /><br />
The construction project was intended to be a five-story building, the first floor having space for commercial use and the top four floors space for residents. The contractor, H. Rock Corporation, has worked on the project since being granted a permit in 2009. The corporation has received six violations at the site since it began construction, mainly for basic safety violations such as failing to post proper signage and keep machinery out of the sidewalk.<br /><br />
The City of New York is currently investigating the site of the accident, and has issued a stop-work order until the investigations are complete.<br /><br />
In the event of a <a href="http://www.1800nowhurt.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>workplace accident</b></a>, it is important for employees to understand what they are entitled to after such an incident. The State of New York requires virtually all employers, including construction contractors, to provide workers’ compensation benefits in the event of a workplace accident that keeps the employee out of work for a period of time.<br /><br />
In some situations, employees who have been injured at the workplace can also file a personal injury claim to gain income in addition to any benefits that are received through workers’ compensation. To learn more about what avenues to recovery you may have, contact a New York personal injury attorney to confidentially discuss your accident.<br /><br />

The inflators can explode, sending metal pieces flying in the direction of vehicle occupants. </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
The recall includes vehicles from most of the major car companies, including General Motors, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Ford, Chrysler and BMW. The N.H.T.S.A has set up a Web site where consumers can enter their VIN number to find out if their vehicle is on the recall list.

Many of us ask friends or family members for recommendations for anything from plumbers to Thai food to mechanics. Almost without fail they are happy and eager to offer a referral. Everyone likes to talk about "their guy" who does the best work in town. They love to "<a href="http://www.1800nowhurt.com/" target="_blank">tell-a-friend</a>". We do too...do you?<br />
<br />
If so, you are part of the network of referrals that small businesses in this country run on. Referrals are the rare win-win-win (triple win) situation! If your friend is looking for an <a href="http://www.iboco.org/" target="_blank">electrician</a> and you refer the company that did a good job replacing your breaker box last year, everyone wins! Your friend gets an electrician they can trust (because you, their friend, recommended him). The electrician gets a new customer. You get to help your friend - and everyone likes helping their friends.<br />
<br />
The next time a friend or family member is in need of a personal injury attorney, we hope you will consider telling them about our firm. Buttafuoco & Associates was voted <a href="http://www.1800nowhurt.com/" target="_blank">BEST LAWYER</a> five years in a row by LI Press and awarded the prestigious "<a href="http://www.1800nowhurt.com/" target="_blank">Super Lawyers</a>" designation, only given to the top 5% of lawyers in the country. We consistently bring home big rewards for our clients. We also do our best to bring home big reward to our community, with scholarship programs, disaster aid and other charitable gifts.<br />
<br />
If you feel that we did a good job for you and you appreciate that we are a law firm that helps injured victims rebuild their lives, then the next time someone asks if you know a good attorney we hope you'll tell-a-friend about us.</div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">For many high school students, fall not only means a return to class, but a return to the field. Whether it’s for the school team or an intramural league; whether football, cheerleading, soccer, field hockey or any other sport; knowing how to minimize the chance of <a href="http://www.1800nowhurt.com/" target="_blank">injury </a>is vitally important. You know what they say about an ounce of prevention right? </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In the weeks before classes start, many athletes are already taking to the practice field. Two-a- days are tough for any athlete; for teenagers they can be dangerous. The number one way to stay safe on a hot August afternoon is to stay hydrated. Athletes should make sure to drink plenty of fluids (without caffeine!) and watch for warning signs of heat-related problems, such as dark- colored urine, fatigue, dizziness, headaches, nausea, cramps, excessive sweating or a cessation of sweating. If one experiences any of these symptoms, they should immediately take the break to cool down and rehydrate. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A general way to lessen the chances of <a href="http://www.1800nowhurt.com/" target="_blank">athletic injury</a> is to have a warm- up and cool down routine. Coaches should work with athletes to develop such routines. Coaches should also be encouraging athletes to train during the offseason. Showing up in shape will benefit in many ways, including making injuries less likely.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Properly fitting pads and helmets are another key to <a href="http://www.1800nowhurt.com/" target="_blank">injury prevention</a>. Make sure to have any protective equipment fitted at purchase. If you suspect an improper fit, ask the coach to take a look. While no helmet or pad can completely protect against injury, a proper fit will minimize the risk of serious injuries like concussions. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: red; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #660000;">The late night, front desk phone call.</span> </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This scam starts with a ringing phone. It’s late at night and when the victim answers, the voice on the other hand of the line says he’s from the front desk. “There’s a problem with your credit card,” the voice says. “Could you give us the number again?” Of course, it’s not the front desk, it’s a scammer. The hotel would not likely bother a guest in the middle of the night. They would deal with the issue at the desk in the morning. </span></div>

Great deals on pizza! They deliver to the hotel! Sounds great! Unfortunately, the pizza place isn’t real ( or at least the number isn’t), and when you order with your credit card you get no pizza, only fraudulent charges. </span></div>

Scammers know this and have been known to create their own Wi-Fi networks, with names that sound just like the official hotel network. If a guest logs on, they risk losing personal information to a crook. Guests should always check with the hotel to make sure they are accessing the authorized network. </span></div>
