Cow vs.Shark....Who Wins?

Most of us remember the movie Jaws.  For months, it was reported that people would not get into the ocean in fear of a shark attack. I will whole- heartedly admit that I was one of them.
I found an interesting little tidbit in a study put out by Ichthyology Department at the Florida Museum of Natural History that estimates the annual death toll by shark at one per year.  Cows, on the other hand, an average of 22 people per year.
Just open up your browser, type in cow vs. motorcycle accident, up pops article after article of fatal accidents involving our bovine friends.  Looks like if it's cow vs. motorcycle, cow wins.

Until the Cows Come Home..

     You’ve lost wages but your landlord or mortgage lender are interested in being paid.  How is the ambulance bill getting paid? The hospital bill? Where is the money going to come from? Who is at fault? The questions keep coming and you don’t know where to turn.

    What is your wandering cow?  For some, it may be a wet aisle. For others, it may be a hospital bed.  It could be your cell phone....

So, until the cows have come home, watch for your wandering cow, whatever that might be, and remember that Merritt Law Office is here to help you. 

What's Your Wandering Cow?

Accidents happen. No one gets up, grabbing that first coffee, saying, “I’m going to hit a cow today.” Yours may be a car crash in wet weather, a slip-and-fall as you leave the dentist’s office. When your wandering cow leaves you with these questions you need to act quickly.  

And It Continues...

Was he hurt more than he knew? Was he going to miss work? How quickly did he need to act?  Whose fault was it?  Who would have to pay? Would insurance be enough? Whose insurance?  

The Cow is Dead...

THE COW IS DEAD, now what?!

Riding his motorcycle home late on a dark night in a rural area one of my legal assistant’s friends hit and killed a cow! After watching a ballgame with his family he was lost in thought.  Great night, great company the air was cool and the sky was filled with stars and … suddenly a cow…. He couldn’t swerve, couldn’t brake and now the cow was dead, the motorcycle was wrecked and his neck, ribs and back were sore.
