High Rise Advertising a High Risk?

From the Los Angeles Times:
A company that installs the oversized advertisements known as supergraphics has gone to court to demand that Los Angeles let it keep images on as many as 118 multistory buildings while federal judges review challenges to city billboard regulations.

I'm very happy that actions are being taken to remove these monstrosities. They're an eyesore and are very distracting. Though I am not certain about this I bet that there has been an accident or two that has been caused by the presence of these signs.

I doubt there would be enough people to get together and file a class action lawsuit, but I'm sure that there have been some serious injuries to some, which did involve hiring a Los Angeles personal injury lawyer.

I for one hope these building sized billboards get taken down permanently.

The Evacuation and the Los Angeles Personal Injury Lawyer

From the Contra Costa Times:

RANCHO CUCAMONGA - Passengers on a Metrolink train on Tuesday morning were forced to evacuate here after reports of a suspicious package.

The package turned out to be "a bag of some sort with duct tape and wires, is the report we got," Metrolink spokesman Francisco Oaxaca said. "It turned out to be true but it was a harmless package."

After last years Metrolink Accident in Chatsworth, Metrolink must be hoping and praying that nothing bad happens to any trains anywhere.

Now I hear that Los Angeles Class Action Lawyers have been contacted by many of those Chatsworth Metrolink train passangers to see if anything can be done for them. Good luck to them.

Here is the rest of the story about the train evacuation.
