This week on the Driving Law podcast, I am joined by Paul Doroshenko of Acumen Law Corporation. We discuss the announcement of new regulations for safety training, to be completed federally, in the aftermath of the Humboldt Broncos Bus Crash. Is this constitutionally valid?

Driving Law with Kyla Lee: Episode Forty

This week on the Driving Law podcast, I am joined by Thomas Harding of the Trial Lawyers Advocacy Group. We discuss the so-called “meat-chart” used by ICBC to assess injury claims, and the new policy that involved revoking all previous offers and replacing them with lower, one-time-only offers.

Weird and Wacky Wednesdays: Volume Thirty Three

In the week leading up to this week’s edition of Weird and Wacky Wednesdays, I have been very interested in what is happening in fast food restaurants. A lot of strange legal stories seem to take place there, and I have found three of the most interesting cases out there. First, we look at how a Florida law requiring customers to ask for a plastic straw led to a commotion in a McDonald’s. Then, we see just how far (too far) a man was willing to go to get some hot sauce at a Taco Bell. And finally, we examine a 1960s case involving competing claims to the Burger King name.
