Any woman who has driven alone late at night and experienced car difficulties likely knows of the panic that such a scenario can create. As such, a woman experiencing this may feel that she has no other option but to take action to protect herself. In fact, a woman in North Carolina who was reportedly stopped for speeding claims that car problems were a factor; she has since been accused of driving while intoxicated, or DWI.

He recently settled a slip-and-fall claim against a contractor and subcontractor.
