According to the National Safety Council (NSC), “motor vehicle collisions are the leading cause of deaths in the workplace.” In response to the hazards of driving, the NSC encourages the public to participate in defensive driving classes. In the State of Illinois, persons aged 55 and beyond are given discounts when they pass a defensive driving course.
The American Association of Retired Persons, or AARP, stated that qualified individuals may get an annual discount of $20 to $150, depending on the driving record and holder’s policy. This course, however, must be taken every three years to maintain the discount. Since most elders tie driving to independence, a defensive driving class is a way to encourage safe and smart driving.

A lot of personal injury lawyers raise their contingency fee throughout the process, charging 1/3 if the case is settled pre-suit, charging 40% if the case is filed after a lawsuit is filed, and charging 50% if the case goes to trial. We don’t. At Mike Agruss Law, our personal injury contingency fee is always 1/3 and that’s not changing. We will handle your property damage claim FOR FREE.  We will never change our contingency fee throughout the process.  You will not owe us a penny unless you get money.
