New vehicle safety laws
August 20, 2009 The seat belt law is one of several driving that take effect Sept. 1. Others include:Myth: When you are in an accident and the insurance company calls you to ask for a recorded statement, you have to give them a recorded statement or they won’t settle with you.
Children under 8 have to be in a child safety seat or a booster seat unless they are 4 feet 9 inches tall. Under the current law, only children under 5 and shorter than 36 inches have to he in a child safety seat. Though the law becomes effective Septempber 1, tickets cannot be issued until June 2010. Children under 5 may not ride on a motorcycle, though they may ride in a sidecar. People riding in 15-passenger vans must use seat belts and child safety seats as required in other vehicles. Before, only drivers of the vans were required to wear seat belts. Drivers may not use cell phones in school zones unless they use a hands-free device. (There is some debate as to whether local governments can get around this law by not installing warning signs. The City of Austin plans to install signs).

Michael Cohen October 3, 2018 I want to highly recommend Andrew Traub for doing such a great job on my case. I was always informed of the status of my case. He helped me get some chiropractic treatment which was very important because I was injured. He is extremely dedicated to getting you the best settlement possible. He is very skilled at weeding out members of a jury that could hurt your case as well. If I am ever in an accident in the future he will be the one that I hire to take my case. I will recommend him to all the people I know.

His experience with personal injury law was evident in our first meeting, and throughout the process, Mr. Traub was very communicative...quick to respond to emails and phone calls. I will recommend his services to any family and friends. Seriously, before you talk to your insurance (or anyone else) regarding your personal injury claim or settlement, talk to Andrew.
