Unfair attack on Sturm
When my good friend Melanie Sturm told me she had been invited to write a bi-monthly column for The Aspen Times, to provide a conservative viewpoint on both local and national issues, I had two reactions: At first I thought this is really refreshing to know that conservative opinion — even in a single column once every two weeks — was still welcome in some quarters in Pitkin County. On reflection, however, I asked Melanie if she really wanted this headache. In addition to the uncompensated time and effort (she was adamant that any compensation be donated to a local nonprofit), I had seen and heard enough strident voices on the left in our community to know that sooner or later someone would attack her for no other reason than expressing her First Amendment freedoms. Melanie also assured me that in keeping with her personality and democratic ideals, her column would always take the high road, offering her readers a chance to simply pause, reason and “think again” about conservative principles and problem-solving. Well, as it turns out, Melanie's columns have been extremely refreshing, drawing more praise and commentary than any other opinion pieces in the paper. She has also stuck to her ideals and provided respectful, factual and thoughtful observations about current events. Sadly, however, my concerns about the intolerance of some in our community have also been borne out. Apparently in Mr. Miller's world there is no room for a difference of opinion and personally successful individuals should have no voice in offering solutions to our country's problems. In fact, it seems he would silence the most energetic, innovative and skilled problem-solvers among us based on a nonsensical notion that their success is an impediment to understanding the needs of our diverse community. I sincerely hope the Times is not deterred in its support for Melanie Sturm's column by this single, narrow-minded voice — and that the editorial staff will “think again” before giving space to ugly, personal attacks. In the meantime, I strongly suggest that Mr. Miller “think again” about his intolerance and penchant for name calling. If he can't overcome his intolerance, at least he might consider some more accurate ways of describing the Sturm family.How To Write A Personal Letter - News

How to Write a Personal Injury Letter for Higher Insurance Settlement
How to Write a Personal Injury Letter for Higher Insurance Settlement
How to Write a Letter
By Asif L Shaikh
Writing a strong personal injury demand letter can significantly increase your car accident settlements. Having a well written injury letter can show the insurance companies that you know how injury claims work, highlight the key components of your claim, and get you a high insurance settlement.
Despite what most people think, you don't need to hire an expensive lawyer to write a convincing personal injury letter.
Here are a few tips that can increase your accident settlements.
Summarize the Auto Accident Your injury letter should begin by briefly describing how your accident took place. Your description of the car accident will lay the foundation for the rest of your injury letter. In your description you can include things like
Which street were you driving on? How fast were you going? what happened right before the accident? What happened right after the accident? How were you injured?
You should include a paragraph about how the other driver was responsible for your accident. However, just merely writing that the other driver was responsible is not enough. Just saying that you were injured is also not enough.
Insurance companies are notorious for paying low injury settlements. To get more money, you need to make a convincing argument in your personal injury letter that supports your story.
In order to do this, you need to include evidence that shows the other driver was responsible(or more responsible) for your car accident AND that your injuries are serious.
The best place to start is by using your
Car Accident Report If police arrived at your crash site, then they wrote up a car accident report. The car accident report can be a great resource for your personal injury letter. The report contains several vital information such as:
Description and diagram of the accident Names of witnesses Traffic violations Hazardous road conditions
Using the car accident report gives you a credible source. It makes it difficult for the insurance companies to dispute your claim. You can include information from the car accident report in your letter to make a more convincing argument. For example, the report may state that the other driver was speeding. You could use this to put more blame for the accident on the other driver.
