School is officially back in session! 🚌📚

That means school buses are back on our roads, too. As students settle into a new school year, it’s a good time for all of us to brush up on when to stop for a school bus.

🛑 Remember: When a school bus has its red lights flashing or stop sign extended, whether you need to stop depends on the type of roadway and the direction you’re traveling.

Take a look at the graphic for a quick refresher, and please stay alert, slow down and give school buses and students plenty of space.

A few extra seconds can help keep our kids safe. 💛

With school back in full swing, more children are walking, biking, and playing near neighborhood streets. Slow down, stay alert, and be prepared for children who may enter the roadway unexpectedly.

A few extra seconds of awareness can help prevent an accident and keep our community safe.

🚸 Watching for children in crosswalks
📱 Putting distractions away while driving
🚗 Following posted school zone speed limits

Let's work together to make this school year a safe one for everyone.

PEER RECOGNITION PUTS JOHN KAPUZA AMONG THE BEST LAWYERS IN AMERICA®

YAKIMA, WA – When an attorney is recognized by fellow lawyers who understand the demands of the profession, the recognition carries a particular significance.

John S. Kapuza, co-founding partner of Kapuza Lighty Accident Injury Lawyers, has been selected by his peers for inclusion in the 33rd Edition of The Best Lawyers in America® (2027) in the field of Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs.

Best Lawyers’ recognition is based entirely on peer review through its Purely Peer Review® methodology, which evaluates the professional abilities of attorneys within the same geographic and practice areas. The 2027 edition represents approximately the top 5% of legal professionals in the United States.

For Kapuza, the recognition is especially meaningful because it comes from fellow attorneys who understand the demands of representing injured people and the responsibility that comes with advocating for clients when the stakes are high.

“I’m honored to be recognized by attorneys I respect and who understand the work that goes into representing injured clients,” said John S. Kapuza. “Every case represents a person or family facing a difficult time, and our responsibility is to make sure they have someone in their corner. I’m grateful for the trust our clients place in us and for the team that works alongside me every day.”

Kapuza has built his career representing people injured because of negligence or wrongdoing of others. As co-founder of Kapuza Lighty Accident Injury Lawyers, he and partner Greg Lighty lead a firm focused on advocating for individuals and families navigating the aftermath of serious accidents and injuries.

“John has spent his career earning the respect of his colleagues while never losing sight of the people behind every case,” said Greg Lighty. “This recognition reflects the professionalism, preparation and commitment he brings to his work every day. I’m proud to call him my partner.”

The Best Lawyers in America® has recognized legal professionals through peer review for more than four decades. Inclusion in the 2027 edition continues a tradition of recognition based on the opinions of fellow attorneys rather than paid placement or marketing.
