The holidays are often a difficult time for families with newly divorced parents. The custody agreement and parenting plan may have been worked out with the help of an attorney and possibly a judge, but seeing it on paper is different than a parent spending Christmas Eve alone because it is not their year.

Many people in Kentucky take advantage of the Labor Day holiday weekend to spend time socializing with friends and family. However, innocent gatherings can take a dangerous and potentially deadly turn when people consume too much alcohol and then attempt to drive home.

The roadways around Covington and Cincinnati are often crowded places. While collisions involving two vehicles are common, multi-car pileups occasionally occur. For example, in May, six individuals sustained some type of injury when a wrong-way driver caused a four-car pileup on the Ronald Reagan Highway.

It goes without saying that your divorce will bring with is several changes. Yet one that many of the clients in Covington that we here at The Berger Firm have worked with in the past have overlooked is healthcare (or more specifically, who will handle the costs of yours and your children’s healthcare once your divorce becomes final).

Collisions between cars and motorcycles in Covington often result in the motorcyclists involved suffering serious injuries. The lack of protection afforded by motorcycles makes them more susceptible to injury in such incidents. That may lead to an unwarranted belief that such accidents are almost always the fault of the motorists involved.

Minor fender benders, such as a rear-end collision in rush hour traffic or a car hit broadside at an intersection are common along Kentucky highways and secondary roads. Determining the person at fault is usually a simple task.

While all marriages encounter issues from time to time, in some cases problems might seem insurmountable. This often leads one or both spouses to consider divorce, especially when plagued by the same issues over and over again.

If you own a small business, it is probably more than just the place you work. On the contrary, your company may represent years of hard work and sacrifice. Losing part or all of your business in divorce may cause you to experience a variety of emotions. It may also make supporting yourself and your family difficult.

When you are hit with an unexpected expense, you are probably not the only person in Kentucky trying to figure out how to cover the cost of whatever it is you now have to pay for. In fact, many Americans neglect to save money for such financial pressures and ultimately find themselves drowning in debt when they have to pay for something, they were not planning on paying for.

Sharing the road with others in Covington may often be easier said than done. While most people likely consider themselves to be responsible drivers, they cannot control the actions of others on the road around them.
