N. John Bey was recently honored by his alma mater at the 2022 Onyx & Ruby Gala. Since 2007, the Onyx & Ruby Gala has recognized the “achievements of African American alumni, faculty and staff, and students at the University of Cincinnati.”

All of the lawyers and staff members at Bey & Associates, LLC are dedicated to helping our local and nationwide communities build strong foundations that can enable us to take part in a brighter future. We decided to start a scholarship in 2017 that would give us the ability to help college students forge that strong foundation. The scholarship’s last submission period, Fall 2021, recently came to a close. We were truly humbled by the amount of applications we received as well as the exceptional high quality of every essay. All of the essays were outstanding.

We’re pleased to announce we’ve chosen a winner.

Congratulations to Peyton Winsett of Oklahoma!

Peyton will be attending Chapman University.

Driving is a freedom that allows you to get from one place to another relatively easily and on your own time. While it might seem like there are only pros of being able to drive in Ohio and having your own car, there are other costs for maintenance that you’ll always have to consider. One of those costs is the requirement for having safety inspections regularly in our state.

No matter how safe you try to be while out and about in Georgia, you can still come across dangerous situations that you’re not expecting. One of those situations can be a dog off leash or in a space where they’re not supposed to be. If they’re aggressive, then that could lead to you suffering from a bite and getting injured.

When a negligent party is responsible for injuring you in an accident, you might be considering taking legal action in the form of a personal injury claim. A legal claim could help you recover financial compensation for the damages they caused you, like medical bills, lost wages, and costs for pain and suffering. However, you might be hesitant to take action because of some misconceptions and myths that circulate around personal injury claims.

Slip and fall cases happen when a property owner or another liable party doesn’t ensure that a premises is free of all hazards that could cause a visitor to fall and get injured. It’s the property owner’s duty to keep their premises safe so that people don’t slip, trip, or fall on any unexpected hazards. When they are negligent and cause a guest to fall and get hurt, they will likely have to payout financial compensation for the victim.

If the situation had egregious negligence, then that payout could be a large amount. Here are five of the largest slip and fall cases in history, what happened, and their winnings for victims.
