			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve all heard the jokes and the mockery, but a study released last week reveals the truth.  Women are much better drivers then men.  The new study has some eyebrow raising statistics.  80% of fatal and <a href="http://www.larryhparker.com/practice-areas/catastrophic-and-serious-injuries/" target="_blank">serious injury car accidents</a> are caused by men.  Women are 27% less likely to cause <a href="http://www.larryhparker.com/practice-areas/auto-accidents/" target="_blank">auto accidents</a>.  In 2007, men caused 1.7 million more accidents than women.  75% of DUI violations are caused by men.</p>
<p>The study also showed that men received traffic tickets at a higher rate than women in almost every category.  What the study ultimately reveals, however, is something all of us already know.  Regardless of gender, we all need to be careful when we get behind the wheel.</p>
<p>See the news article <a href="http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Women-are-Better-Drivers-Than-Men-Study-137202638.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>If you or a loved one has been the unfortunate victim of a car accident, contact The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker today at <strong>(800) 333-0000</strong> to schedule a <strong>free consultation</strong>.  We&#8217;ve helped over 100,000 injury victims receive much needed compensation for medical bills and pain and suffering.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Los Angeles clothing manufacturer American Apparel has settled litigation stemming from an employment lawsuit.  The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed a <a href="http://www.larryhparker.com/practice-areas/employment-law/employment-discrimination/" target="_blank">disability discrimination</a> lawsuit against American Apparel after it fired an employee who was on medical leave for the treatment of cancer.  </p>
<p>American Apparel settled the lawsuit for $60,000.  $40,000 of the settlement will be awarded to the discrimination victim, while the rest of the money will be used to sponsor educational seminars about the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).  American Apparel has since adopted policies that place it in accordance with the rules of the ADA.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Los Angeles commuters will experience a heavier dose of traffic congestion throughout this weekend than usual after a tanker truck caught fire on Wednesday.  Intense flames from the <a href="http://www.larryhparker.com/practice-areas/auto-accidents/semi-accidents/" target="_blank">truck accident</a> caused major damage to the Paramount Boulevard bridge over the 60 Freeway.  The damage was severe enough to require demolition of portions of the bridge, causing the freeway closure.</p>
<p>If you have to drive in the area of the accident, be sure to give yourself extra time, as there will be much more traffic than usual.  As of this writing Thursday morning, the westbound 60 onramps at Garfield and Atlantic were open, and the eastbound 60 onramps at San Gabriel, Rosemead, Santa Ania, and Peck were open.  Drive safe, everyone.</p>
