From Law Offices of Anna R. Yum - Can You Drive While on Prescription Drugs in California? explores how California DUI law applies when a driver has taken legally prescribed medication. The episode explains why a valid prescription does not automatically protect someone from a DUI charge under California Vehicle Code § 23152(f), and why the key issue is whether the medication impaired the person’s ability to drive safely.

Listeners will learn how prescription drug DUI cases differ from alcohol DUI cases, including the absence of a per se prescription drug limit, the role of blood and urine testing, and why drug presence does not always prove impairment. The discussion also covers medications that may raise impaired-driving concerns, such as opioids, oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, benzodiazepines, Xanax, Valium, Ambien, Lunesta, muscle relaxants, antiseizure medications, antidepressants, antipsychotic medications, antihistamines, and certain cold or allergy products.

This episode also breaks down how police investigate prescription drug DUI cases in San Diego, including field sobriety tests, Drug Recognition Expert evaluations, and the Drug Evaluation and Classification program’s 12-step DRE protocol. It explains what officers may ask about medication use, how answers can become evidence, and what may happen if a driver refuses a blood test under California Vehicle Code § 23612.

The episode concludes with a look at penalties and defense issues in prescription drug DUI cases, including first-offense consequences, DMV license suspensions, DUI programs, fines, jail exposure, and more serious injury-related charges under Vehicle Code § 23153 and Vehicle Code § 23554. It also highlights potential defenses involving DRE evaluations, chemical-test procedures, medical conditions, fatigue, stress, traffic stops, and the work of Anna R. Yum, a former Riverside County Deputy District Attorney and founding attorney of the Law Offices of Anna R. Yum in San Diego.

From GibsonSingleton Virginia Injury Attorneys - Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage in Virginia explores how UM and UIM coverage can protect injured drivers when an uninsured, underinsured, unknown, or hit-and-run motorist causes a crash in Gloucester County or anywhere in Virginia. This episode explains why these policies matter, especially with Insurance Research Council data showing Virginia’s uninsured motorist rate at 12.9%, and how a serious accident can leave victims facing medical bills, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, or permanent disability when the at-fault driver has little or no coverage.

The discussion breaks down the difference between uninsured motorist coverage and underinsured motorist coverage under Virginia Code § 38.2-2206, including what counts as an uninsured vehicle, how phantom vehicle and hit-and-run claims work, and when UIM coverage fills the gap after the at-fault driver’s policy is exhausted. It also reviews Virginia’s minimum coverage requirements under § 46.2-472, the 2025 limits of $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident, and $25,000 for property damage, as well as reduction elections, stacking issues, policy priority rules, written notice, releases, arbitration, and the two-year deadline under § 8.01-243.

Listeners will also hear why UM/UIM coverage is especially important on Gloucester County roads such as Route 17, Route 198, Route 14, Hickory Fork Road, Guinea Road, Ware Neck Road, T.C. Walker Road, and other routes near Gloucester Point, the Coleman Bridge, the York River, the Chesapeake Bay, and Hampton Roads. The episode walks through what to do after a crash with an uninsured driver, from calling 911 and documenting the scene to notifying your insurer, preserving medical records, avoiding recorded statements, and speaking with an attorney before accepting a settlement.

This episode walks through the protections available to eligible workers in Florida, including unpaid, job-protected leave, continued group health insurance coverage, and remedies such as reinstatement, back pay, liquidated damages, interest, attorney’s fees, and other relief under federal law.
