Use Our Tree Services All Year Round

People don’t realize how useful a tree service can be to them until they absolutely need it. When a tree falls in your yard, or collapses in to your home due to a nasty storm, or even in to something that you care about, you are going to need a tree service as soon as possible. It may sound kind of odd, but it’s actually a really smart decision to keep a tree service business’s number somewhere, in case you need to get one removed on the spot some day. What’s funny is that using our tree service is extremely reasonable.

In fact, depending on the tree service you use, you may not even have to pay a dime. Some will simply take the wood, (depending on how big the tree is), and make money off of the actual tree. The only time a tree service will do this, however, is if the tree is valuable in some way shape or form. A majority of the average trees won’t interest a tree service, as it is no use to the tree service in any aspect. Most people decide to use a tree service when they need clearing done, as most of their work is planned. However, quite a few companies that do tree service are available twenty-four hours when heavy storms are running, ready to help anyone who needs it for a price.

Almost every tree service has a tendency to thrive, because there are constantly trees that need to be chopped down. Whether it is forest clearing or accident clean-up, you will always have a tree service to help you when you need it the most. Ironically, a majority of forest clearing is done for free by these companies, because it is so profitable to them in the long run. Once again, this is depending on what type of wood the trees are made of, and what the quality of life in them is. If the trees are dying, a tree service probably will not be interested in them for payment, but will still take them. Very rarely will you see a tree service decline free wood, as they can always do something with it.

One thing to keep in mind when you are looking for someone with a tree service is to think of the locals. There are a lot of chain businesses that will help you with some sort of tree service, which is why a lot of local business owners are struggling. If you have the opportunity to help someone that you know does your type of tree service locally, you should definitely look in to allowing them to do the work. Sometimes if you really need firewood, the people who own whatever tree service in you are using may be willing to give you the chopped up wood, (that is, if they do the chopping method) On the other hand, you may have to end up paying them to do this, depending on just how they operate, their procedures, and other factors that are rather surprising when you think about a tree service in general.

Motorcycling is Risky Business – Personal Injury Attorneys

Motorcycling is Risky Business – Personal Injury Attorneys

As this column is being written, the tragic events in the Gulf Coast are still unfolding. As the debate rages as to who is, or, rather, whom are at fault for lack of preparedness, we motorcyclists can learn a lesson from this primordial chaos and stench of death and destruction.

As we pour our donations into the relief effort and ask those questions, those same questions should be asked about ourselves in relationship to motorcycling.

Motorcycling is risky business. And if you don’t know that, you’d better get out of it now while the getting is good.

So, how are you set up to handle that risk? Are you at the full state of preparedness which will keep you out of a death or serious injury situation or financial disaster because of known risks of motorcycling? Are you ready to confront that sudden emergency of that car turning left in front of you. Have you learned how to foresee that eventuality so that you can be prepared to react to it. Have you learned the scanning tricks or learned how to use Murphy’s law as it pertains to motorcycling – what can go wrong probably will go wrong. Have you learned how to position yourself in traffic so as to give yourself the best edge possible to stay out of harms way? Have you learned the correct way to do a quick swerve so that you can dodge a hazard with a minimum of time lapse? And, if you have learned the technique, have you practiced it enough to make it automatic? Have you learned how to make a quick stop on a curve so that you don’t go down if stopping is your only alternative? And have you practiced it? Why haven’t you taken a motorcycle safety course? Are you wearing the proper equipment? Are tennis shoes, shorts and a T-shirt really the way to go when you’re riding?

If the unthinkable happens and you cannot avoid that debilitating accident, have you provided a sufficient amount of medical and disability insurance to minimize the expenses to yourself and your family? Do you even know what kinds of insurance are out there to minimize the financial costs? Have you put a will into place? Or a comprehensive estate plan? Do you have a living will? What do you want to happen to you if you are in a vegetative state with no way out?

Anyone living on the edge, and motorcyclists certainly do, have an obligation to not only ask the questions, but to take the right steps to answer them positively so that you can say, I am ready . . . I am prepared.

Insurance Tip of the Month.

Lately it has come to my attention that agents of certain insurance companies that issue motorcycle insurance – Progressive, for one, comes to mind – have been telling prospective insurance applicants that medical payments coverage would only cover the driver-owner of the motorcycle and blood relatives on the bike and nobody else. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Under §3103(2) of the no-fault act, motorcycle insurance companies are required to offer medical payments coverage to the owner of a motorcycle in increments. Motorcyclists are not required to purchase these benefits.

Where Progressive and others have it wrong is that, while under §3103(2), the company can provide for deductibles and coordination of insurance, by the statute’s terms “These deductibles and provisions shall apply only to benefits payable to the person named in the policy, the spouse of the insured, and any relative of either domiciled in the same household.” The non-resident, non-blood relative, passenger is not subject to those deductibles and otherwise has medical payments coverage from the motorcycle insurer to the extent of the purchased coverage.

Hope that clears up the question.

Until next time, ride SAFE and FREE.
