A personal injury attorney specializing in malpractice wins a lawsuit alleging the county in not properly maintaining a tree that fell on a car killing a mother of a seven year old. This case reminds me on a car incident that I have personally undergone through. I was driving on a public road in the bad weather with my daughter in the vehicle when a tree fell on my company van. We sustained no personal injury but the vehicle sustained damage. There was a dent on the roof, a crack in the windshield and the passenger side mirror fell off completely and was hanging on a single cord. The next day I took the vehicle to a body repair shop and the company insurance estimator was expected to come in shortly to estimate the damage on the vehicle.
Next thing I know, an insurance company rep called me to find out the details of the accident and the location. After determining that the tree that fell on my car was located on a public road, the insurance company rep asked me whether it was a county or city property. I had no idea how to answer that question. The insurance rep explained that the county was at fault for not properly maintaining the tree and that the insurance carrier was going to file a lawsuit on said allegations.
Here is a video where a personal injury lawyer talks about the laws related to a similar accident in my area.

On-Line BAC Calculator
About the Drink Wheel
The Intoximeters Inc. "Drink Wheel" is a form that you can fill out. Upon completion we will instantly compute your estimated blood/breath alcohol concentration ("BAC") based on the information that you have provided and return that estimate to you. It is presented as a public service to Intoximeters web site visitors. Its primary purpose is to provide useful information about the responsible use of alcohol.
Why is it called a "Drink Wheel"?
We call it the "Drink Wheel" because it is based on various paper and cardboard BAC calculators that are given out in alcohol awareness programs, some of which are in the form of a wheel that you can spin around to calculate your estimated BAC based on what and how much you have had to drink.
It would be extremely foolish for us to pretend that our "Drink Wheel" can tell you what your BAC actually is, first because it would open us up to an incredible amount of potential liability and second if it really did work accurately there would be no need for anyone to buy the instruments that we make and sell.
A person's actual BAC is dependent on many complex factors, including their physical condition (body composition, health etc...) and what they have recently ingested (including food, water, medications and other drugs). This site includes a more detailed discussion of the Pharmacology and Disposition of alcohol in humans.
The results that are generated are rough estimates of an average healthy person's BAC assuming typical beverage sizes, recipes and alcohol content. The BAC estimates generated by the Drink Wheel should not be used to infer anyone's fitness to work, drive or perform any other task or duty.
