Sandra Shampang is one great example. She suffered a serious traumatic brain injury when her Ford Escort was struck by a truck. She was not unconscious at the time and assumed the condition would improve so she did not...

Due to problems with the economy in this state, many drivers are dropping their collision and theft coverage to reduce their car insurance premiums. One common misperception is that auto insurance rates are high because of the number of injury claims related to car accidents. This is not true and the coverage for injury...
