I am very pleased to report that a May 13, 2013, decision of the British Columbia Supreme Court has met my prediction head on.&#8230; <a href="http://www.paulhergott.com/supreme-court-ruling-changes-disbursements/">(more...)</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If British Columbians were polled, I expect that we would put texting at the top of the list of dangerous driving activities. I don’t know if scientific studies have been done to compare the distraction of that particular activity with others such as eating, putting on make-up, programming an address into the navigational computer, or that activity my wife wrote&#8230; <a href="http://www.paulhergott.com/texting-at-the-top-of-distractions-when-behind-the-wheel/">(more...)</a>]]></description>

Thank you to this year’s “celebrities”, leaders in the local “car crash industry” who helped make this year’s event a success:  am 1150’s Phil Johnson, personal injury lawyer Steven Turner, West Kelowna Fire Chief Wayne Schnitzler, RCMP member Sandy&#8230; <a href="http://www.paulhergott.com/one-crash-is-too-many-challenge/">(more...)</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It makes sense to want to get to the bottom of why you are still having pain months or a year or more after a crash. You are told by your doctor that it is “just” a soft tissue injury; you will recover in short order. The ICBC adjuster refers to your injury as minor, as not being serious, because&#8230; <a href="http://www.paulhergott.com/injury-claims-a-matter-of-pain/">(more...)</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MADD’s “Campaign 911” was unveiled in Kelowna on Tuesday. According to their web site, Campaign 911 is “a Canada-wide campaign to encourage and empower the Canadian public to report suspected impaired driving by calling 911”. What an excellent initiative!  Impaired driving is serious road safety issue.  B.C.’s tough impaired driving laws have helped to discourage impaired driving and to pull&#8230; <a href="http://www.paulhergott.com/politicians-found-lacking-in-commitment-to-road-safety/">(more...)</a>]]></description>

I gather that it hasn’t for Eva Gainer, either, as I listened to her tell her story at the filming of a Shaw TV episode of “The Lunch Counter” in late January, 2013.  Eva Gainer, RCMP Cst.

My memory of school work around that time of my scholastic development is more along the lines of using pencil crayons to colour maps.  There’s no way my grade 6 self would have been writing and delivering speeches!

I’ll start out by complimenting my wife who I am incredibly grateful to for handling absolutely everything when it comes to travel bookings and arrangements.  She is something special.  Having worked retail for several&#8230; <a href="http://www.paulhergott.com/reading-the-car-rental-insurance-fine-print-in-spanish/">(more...)</a>]]></description>
