Planes, Trains & Automobiles: Commuters Face Growing Number of New Perils

SiebenCareyFebruary 06, 2020

America has already earned the dubious distinction as the most overworked developed nation in the world: 85.8 percent of males and 66.5 percent of females work more than 40 hours per week.

And as if long work weeks weren’t enough, we waste more time than ever getting to work in the first place, whether on the road or by air. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, work commutes hit an all-time high in 2018, with the average commuter spending 54 minutes (225 hours per year) traveling to and from their job. Business air travel is also forecasted to climb from 462 million domestic trips per year to 499.4 million by 2022.

A recent report from the Center for Justice and Democracy shows:

Federal regulations are being outsourced to manufacturers, making it easier for corporations to put profit over safety
Out of date and unsafe planes, trains and automobiles
Long hours, low pay and less training across all transportation industries

Jesse Bukal

In need of a personal injury attorney? Well you're if you're reading this you're in the right place. You'd be hard pressed to find more competent attorneys than the ones here at SiebenCarey.

They took my case to trial and an amazing job presenting the facts and fighting for my best interests! Three years ago I was unsure of what my future would bring; now that it's over I can rest a bit easier. With SiebenCarey as my counsel, I believe I had the absolute BEST representation a person could've asked for. I knew that I wanted the absolute best representation when searching for an attorney to handle my case and I most definitely received it.

If you need a personal injury attorney, look no further. Can't recommend highly enough.

Even though I was states away and could only talk on the phone, they listened and did everything that they could to win my case. I felt like I was a part of the family.

Carly R.

My boyfriend was hit by a car and while all the attorneys he talked to said he didn't have much chance of a case, SiebenCarey took him on and gave him a fighting chance. He's still recovering, but SiebenCarey is making it a lot easier.

Steph Mackey

I was injured in a car accident and I was becoming more and more stressed dealing with the insurance companies and their requests. Jim Carey took my case and told me to concentrate on healing and he would take care of the rest. What a weight off my shoulders! I would highly recommend Jim and his competent paralegal team.
