New year brings new California laws
DUI DWI Laws
The new year brings new state laws that drivers, school children, homeowners and everyone else should know about. Following is a partial list with a synopsis of each law that takes effect in 2010.
A pilot for DUI drivers
Assembly Bill 91 establishes a pilot program in the counties of Alameda, Los Angeles, Sacramento and Tulare that will run from July 1 through Jan. 1, 2016. The program will require drivers convicted of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol to install and maintain an ignition interlock device for a prescribed amount of time before they can have their driving privileges reinstated.
DUI driver options
Effective July 1, Senate Bill 598 will require the Department of Motor Vehicles to advise second-time and third-time misdemeanor DUI offenders of the following options: get a restricted driver's license that would allow driving after a 90-day suspension period after a second conviction, or a six-month suspension period for a third conviction if the violation only involves alcohol.
Offenders must enroll in a DUI program and install and keep ignition interlock devices in their vehicles.

Illinois Work Injury Lawyers – Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD.
Accidents in the workplace are often caused by unsafe work conditions arising from ignoring safety rules, overlooking maintenance or other negligence of those in management. While we are one of the largest firms in Illinois dedicated solely to the representation of injured workers, we pride ourselves on the personal, one-on-one approach we deliver to each client.
Work accidents can cause serious injuries and sometimes permanent damage. Some extremely serious work injuries can permanently hinder a person’s ability to get around and continue their daily duties. Factors that affect one’s quality of life such as place of work, relationships with friends and family, and social standing can all be taken away quickly by a work injury. Although, you may not be able to recover all of your losses, you may be entitled to compensation as a result of your work injury. Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD. provides informed advocacy in all kinds of workers’ compensation claims, including:
• Injuries to the back and neck, including severe spinal cord injuries
• Serious head injuries
• Heart problems resulting from workplace activities
• Injuries to the knees, elbows, shoulders and other joints
• Injuries caused by repetitive movements
For Illinois Workers’ Compensation claims, you will ALWAYS cheat yourself if you do not hire an experienced attorney. When you hire Krol, Bongiorno & Given, Ltd, you will have someone to guide you through the process, and when it is time to settle, we will add value to your case IN EXCESS of our fee. In the last few years, employers and insurance carriers have sought to advance the argument that when you settle a case without an attorney, your already low settlement should be further reduced by 20% so that you do not get a “windfall.” Representing yourself in Illinois is a lose-lose proposition.
