Victim’s Stories | Office of Traffic Safety
This page is in loving memory of those whose lives were taken from them by drivers who did not implement safe driving habits. 
We honor the lives lost in these traffic-related incidents. Because everyone matters. 
This is the page where anything submitted under “Share Your Story” is shared.

LIAM MIKAEL KOWALCrash Date: Sept. 3, 2016
Age: 1
Crash Location: 133rd Street and Hawthorne Boulevard, City of Hawthorne
About Liam:
Born on May 25, 2015 to Mishel Eder and Marcus Kowal, a mixed martial arts fighter, Liam is remembered as social and strong-willed toddler who loved being around people. Liam enjoyed spending time in the water, whether it was for bath time, in the pool or a shopping center fountain, wrestling with his dad and playing peek-a-boo with his mom. “I refuse to allow your passing to just be another statistic. You will not have been so violently torn from us in vain. I will spend the rest of my life making sure that other lives will continue, because of you,” Marcus Kowal said on his website. Kowal’s family started Liam’s Life Foundation as a way to raise awareness and educate people about the dangers of drinking and driving.
Crash Details:
On Sept. 3, 2016, a drunk driver hit Liam’s 15-year-old aunt and the stroller Liam was riding in at a crosswalk in the city of Hawthorne and kept driving. Liam later died as a result of his injuries.
The 72-year-old driver pleaded guilty Aug. 10, 2017 to one felony count of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and was sentenced to six years in state prison.

Here is a schedule to help you understand VA’s preventive services recommendations for average-risk men and women:

Recommendations for Men

It’s important to remember that all preventive services have “pros” and “cons.” Learning about possible benefits and harms can help you make the best decision. Talk with your VA health care team about the preventive services that are recommended for people like you.
Cancer Screening Videos
Dr. H. Gilbert Welch, a former general internist at the White River Junction VAMC, has produced several short videos that explain how the screening process works. These videos address lead time and overdiagnosis bias, as well as several topics related to cancer screening:

Lead time Bias
Overdiagnosis bias
Cancer Screening I—Benefits and Harms
Cancer Screening II—False Positive Results
Cancer Screening III – Overdiagnosis
Cancer Screening IV—Overdiagnosis (longterm RCT followup)

 
Dr. Welch’s research focuses on the problems created by medicine's efforts to detect disease early—namely, that physicians test too often, treat too aggressively, and tell too many people that they’re sick. Most of his work has focused on overdiagnosis in cancer screening, in particular for melanoma, cervical, breast, and prostate cancer. He is also the author of the books Should I be Tested for Cancer? Maybe Not and Here's Why, Overdiagnosed: Making People Sick in the Pursuit of Health, and most recently, Less Medicine, More Health. Seven Assumptions that Drive Too Much Medical Care.

Police Traffic Services 

The OTS provides grants to more than 200 law enforcement agencies throughout the state to conduct enforcement and education programs focused on deterring unsafe roadway behaviors and promoting safe roadway habits. Enforcement activities dedicate additional officers on roads to target specific traffic safety issues including impaired driving, speeding, bicycle and pedestrian safety, distracted driving, seat belt use, and other traffic violations that increase the risk for crashes. Other grant programs include officer training to conduct DUI/Driver’s License checkpoints and training to identify suspected impaired drivers. Education activities include traffic safety presentations to community members, organizations, and schools.

 DRE Information
 
 
 

The DRE school is extremely demanding and intense training. To receive certification as a DRE, three phases of training must be completed.The academic training is broken into 2 phases:The first phase consists of the Pre-school. This is a 2-day program with the objective of ensuring that the student is prepared and capable of completing the 7-day DRE school. The Pre-school is conducted the first 2 days of the academic training. New York has implemented a combined course where the Pre-school and 7-day school are taught together. Students must successfully pass an SFST proficiency exam as well as a written exam to progress to the DRE school. Failure to pass either of these exams will result in dismissal from the course.The second phase of the academic training is conducted over 7 days. The training will include instruction in physiology, vital signs, as well as extensive material on each of the 7 drug categories of the drugs of abuse and their general indicators. There will be written quizzes. Students must achieve a minimum of 80% on the final examination to progress to the Field Certification phase of the training.Field CertificationsAfter successfully completing the academic portion of the training, the students return for the third phase, Field Certification training. Students will be required, under the supervision of Drug Recognition Instructors and the State Coordinator, to complete a minimum of 12 evaluations on drug-impaired individuals. Each student must correctly identify subjects under the influence of 3 of the 7 drug categories. In addition, the student must maintain a progress log and rolling log, and submit a comprehensive resume. After the Field Certification program, the student will participate in the Comprehensive Final Knowledge Examination and must pass to become certified.
What Is a Safe System Approach? | US Department of Transportation
People will inevitably make mistakes and decisions that can lead or contribute to crashes, but the transportation system can be designed and operated to accommodate certain types and levels of human mistakes, and avoid death and serious injuries when a crash occurs.
Humans Are Vulnerable
Human bodies have physical limits for tolerating crash forces before death or serious injury occurs; therefore, it is critical to design and operate a transportation system that is human-centric and accommodates physical human vulnerabilities.
Responsibility is Shared
All stakeholders—including government at all levels, industry, non-profit/advocacy, researchers, and the general public—are vital to preventing fatalities and serious injuries on our roadways.
Safety is Proactive
Proactive tools should be used to identify and address safety issues in the transportation system, rather than waiting for crashes to occur and reacting afterwards.
Redundancy is Crucial
Reducing risks requires that all parts of the transportation system be strengthened, so that if one part fails, the other parts still protect people.
Objectives of a Safe System Approach
Implementation of the NRSS will be arranged around five complementary objectives corresponding to the Safe System Approach elements:

Safer People
Encourage safe, responsible driving and behavior by people who use our roads and create conditions that prioritize their ability to reach their destination unharmed.

Safer Roads
Design roadway environments to mitigate human mistakes and account for injury tolerances, to encourage safer behaviors, and to facilitate safe travel by the most vulnerable users.

Safer Vehicles
Expand the availability of vehicle systems and features that help to prevent crashes and minimize the impact of crashes on both occupants and non-occupants.

Safer Speeds
Promote safer speeds in all roadway environments through a combination of thoughtful, equitable, context-appropriate roadway design, appropriate speed-limit setting, targeted education, outreach campaigns, and enforcement.

Post-Crash Care
Enhance the survivability of crashes through expedient access to emergency medical care, while creating a safe working environment for vital first responders and preventing secondary crashes through robust traffic incident management practices.

Ask for a trial on a traffic ticket | California Courts | Self Help Guide
If the judge decides you are guilty, they will set the fine. 
There are no juries in a traffic ticket trial. A judge or commissioner (an official who works for the court) decides if you're guilty or not. 
How to get a trial
Decide what type of trial you want and ask for one by the deadline
There are two types of traffic ticket trials - by written declaration or court trial (in-person). You can ask for either one. 
Trial by written declaration
If you do not want to or can't come to court, you can ask for a trial by written declaration. In a trial by declaration, you send in a written statement, along with any evidence you have, to the court to explain what happened. You generally also send in payment. The officer who wrote the ticket then gets a chance to send in their own written statement. A judge then reviews both and mails you a decision.
 How to ask for a trial by declaration and what to expect 
Traffic court trial
A court trial means that you will have a trial in person at the court. Or, in some courts, that you will appear remotely. Appear remotely usually means that you call into the court by phone or video. If you have a lawyer, they can represent you at the trial.

You may begin the process of obtaining a vehicle release the same day that a vehicle has been towed, except in instances when a vehicle has been placed on a 30-day hold by the officer.  In order to retrieve a vehicle after it’s been towed, you must be the registered owner and you must come to Dublin Police Services Business Office in person to retrieve the vehicle release form and to pay the release fee to the City of Dublin ($100.00).  During business hours, you may visit the Dublin Police Services Business Office to obtain the form and to pay the fee.  From 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. cash, checks and credit cards are acceptable forms of payment.  After business hours and during weekends or City holidays, you may use the call box located immediately outside Dublin Police Services.  This will connect you directly to Dispatch, who will send an officer to assist you in obtaining the vehicle release form.  After 4:30 p.m., only exact change will be accepted by Dublin Police Services.  A vehicle release will only be granted to you as the registered owner.  You must bring the following: 1.
Guidance on “Long COVID” as a Disability Under the ADA, Section | HHS.gov
Whether an individual with long COVID is substantially limited in a major bodily function or other major life activity is determined without the benefit of any medication, treatment, or other measures used by the individual to lessen or compensate for symptoms.  Even if the impairment comes and goes, it is considered a disability if it would substantially limit a major life activity when the impairment is active.
Long COVID can substantially limit a major life activity.  The situations in which an individual with long COVID might be substantially limited in a major life activity are diverse.  Among possible examples, some include:

A person with long COVID who has lung damage that causes shortness of breath, fatigue, and related effects is substantially limited in respiratory function, among other major life activities. 

A person with long COVID who has symptoms of intestinal pain, vomiting, and nausea that have lingered for months is substantially limited in gastrointestinal function, among other major life activities.   

A person with long COVID who experiences memory lapses and “brain fog” is substantially limited in brain function, concentrating, and/or thinking.

3. Is long COVID always a disability?
No.  An individualized assessment is necessary to determine whether a person’s long COVID condition or any of its symptoms substantially limits a major life activity.  The CDC and health experts are working to better understand long COVID. 
4. What rights do people whose long COVID qualifies as a disability have under the ADA, Section 504, and Section 1557?
People whose long COVID qualifies as a disability are entitled to the same protections from discrimination as any other person with a disability under the ADA, Section 504, and Section 1557.  Put simply, they are entitled to full and equal opportunities to participate in and enjoy all aspects of civic and commercial life. 
For example, this may mean that businesses or state or local governments will sometimes need to make changes to the way that they operate to accommodate a person’s long COVID-related limitations.  For people whose long COVID qualifies as a disability, these changes, or “reasonable modifications,” may include:

Providing additional time on a test for a student who has difficulty concentrating
