I am a reckless idiot. I know many of you would agree, but probably for other reasons. I am referring to texting or mailing while I am driving, especially with my babies in the car. President Obama signed an Executive Order banning federal employees from text messaging while driving on the job or in a government-owned vehicle. I urge local and state officials to follow this as well as my friends, family and clients. This month's issue touches on kid car safety as well as what to do if you are in a car crash. Stay safe and put your PDA in the trunk when you drive.
October also marks the 25th anniversary of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM). The tireless efforts of many have yielded invaluable research and have empowered women from all walks of life to  take charge of their breast health. We are doing our part by giving back in style with a special edition of our "Talk to My Lawyer" shirt in Pink and Brown. 100% of the proceeds will go to the The Braman Family Breast Cancer Institute at the University of Miami, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. If you are interested in purchasing one, please contact Carol. 
Lastly, we need to recognize and thank my dear friend Glenn H. Finch for his brave service to our country. We wish him a safe and speedy return to his family and friends. |

Six Ways to Get Your Kids Home Safe 
1. Leave your PDA in the trunk - Being distracted delays reaction time, as much as a blood-alcohol above the legal limit. Deaths blamed on distracted drivers are up and are most common among inexperienced drivers.
2. Back-Over Accidents - Every car has blind spots. Hurried parents driving SUVs and Minivans need to slow down and make sure all children are visible before backing up.
3. Power Windows - Every year hundreds of children get their fingers, arms and necks caught in power windows. Never leave a child unattended in a car, as many power windows work even with the ignition off. New models have a pull up switch which is safer.
4. Hyperthermia - Few parents would admit to leaving a child alone in a car in the Florida heat, intentionally. But accidents happen when children either hide or get locked into cars without their parents knowing. Always lock your car and make sure that all children are accounted for.
5. Rollaway - Automatic transmissions may be shifted "out of park" even if the engine is off and the driver's foot is not on the brake. If you leave the key in the ignition and turned to the accessory mode (to listen to the radio, open/close the windows, etc.), the automatic transmission may be shifted out of "Park" if your child moves the gear selector. To prevent this: verify whether or not your car has a Brake Transmission Safety Interlock (BTSI). As of 2010 all new cars must have this.
6. Register Your Car Seat - In the event of a safety recall all manufacturers are required to notify all registered owners by first class mail of a recall. Therefore, confirm the manufacturer of your child restraint has your current mailing address. |
