Look, Legal Referral’s Gonna Give It to You Straight: Minnesota’s Roads are a Deathtrap and I’m Freaking Out

From Wrecks to Helmets After Accidents: This Whole Situation is a Hot Mess

Okay, so… Minnesota’s roads. Where do I even start? It’s like… it’s bad, folks. Real bad. Ten bikers dead in a week. A week! I can’t even… Like, what are we doing here, people? It’s like we’re playing some sick game of “how many lives can we lose before someone gives a crap?”

This is Getting Out of Hand, and I’m Losing Sleep Over It

So yesterday, right? I’m watching the news, and bam! Another one. Some poor guy in Rochester. 58 years old. Probably had kids, grandkids maybe. And now? Gone. Just like that. Over what? A moment of not paying attention? A car didn’t see him? It’s… it’s messed up, is what it is. And you know what really gets me? It’s not just bikers. It’s all of us. You’re driving to work, thinking about I dunno, maybe that story you heard about heart attacks at work and workers compensation or something, and next thing you know, bam! Life changed forever.

I Swear, People Have Lost Their Minds on the Road

And don’t even get me started on hit-and-runs. Like, what kind of person just drives away? I’ve got people calling me all the time, asking how to catch a hit and run driver. It’s insane. It’s like… do we not care about each other anymore? Is that where we’re at as a society?

So What Do We Do? Because Something’s Gotta Give

I mean, for starters, wear a helmet if you’re on a bike. I don’t care if it messes up your hair or whatever. You know what really messes up your look? Being dead. There, I said it. And everyone else? Just… pay attention. Please. I’m begging here. Put down the phone, stop messing with the radio, just… drive. It’s not that hard. We all learned how to do it, remember?

If the Worst Happens, Don’t Be a Hero (But Don’t Be a Pushover Either)

Look, I hope you never need to know this stuff. But if life decides to kick you in the teeth, remember you’ve got rights. Whether it’s figuring out how long a slip and fall settlement takes or trying to appeal a long term disability denial, there’s help out there. But you know what? I’d rather be out of a job than keep seeing these stories. I mean it. This is… it’s too much. It’s gotta stop. So please, for the love of whatever you believe in, be careful out there. Watch for bikers. Wear your helmet. And maybe, just maybe, we can stop turning our roads into some kind of twisted demolition derby. I’m just… I’m tired, folks. Tired of seeing good people die for no reason. Aren’t you?
