How do you determine a person's character? It is often said that a person's character is determined by their response to adversity. I like to think that a person's character is always under construction.

When presented with a problem, can

a person admit that they are wrong,

accept the consequences of their

mistake, learn from it and do better the

next time? The reason I bring this

up is because of a letter I recently

received from a viewer of the Consumer Protection Program (Thursday evenings at 6:00 p.m. on Comcast, Channel 14).

The letter asked if I thought that I was omnipotent or was I just narcissistic because I offer consumers practical advice on a weekly television show. This letter was questioning my motives about doing the show as well as my character. Although the letter didn't state that I gave wrong advice, it was implied.

The answer is neither. I am not omnipotent, just ask my wife, nor am I narcissistic. I have made mistakes in the past, there is no doubt about that. But, I learned at a very early age that there is nothing wrong with making mistakes, it happens to everyone. You obviously hope no one is hurt, financially or emotionally, by your mistakes.

Think about this: If more people spent their time learning from their mistakes and dealing with the mistake, they would spend less time denying that they made a mistake.

I have been working for the Dellutri Law Group since May of 2008. The first day I began working here, I knew that the Dellutri Law Group was unlike any other business because of the family, friendship, teamwork, and camaraderie .

Do you know what to do if your car catches fire after a Florida car accident or how to stop your car in the case of sudden acceleration? While these are some of the most dangerous situations that can happen behind the wheel, as Florida Personal Injury Attorneys, we understand that no one can predict when a tragic Florida car accident may occur.

This post offers a few helpful survival tips.  

Break failure: Total brake failure happens rarely, but it can be a terrifying and dangerous experience nonetheless.

•  Shift into a lower gear if your car has an automatic transmission; downshift if it has a manual.
•  Apply the emergency brake.
•  Steer to the side of the road.
•  Switch off the engine.

Car fire: Car fires can be caused by a number of issues, including a car defect or a serious car accident. Here's what to do if it happens to you.

•  Get onto the shoulder or into the breakdown lane as quickly as possible.
•  Shut off the engine.
•  Get yourself and all passengers far away from the fire and warn bystanders to keep clear.
•  Try to warn oncoming traffic.
•  Do not try to put out the fire yourself. With any fire, there's a possibility that the fuel in the vehicle's tank might ignite.
•  Call 911.

Sudden acceleration: On rare occasions and for various reasons, a car can accelerate by itself. But the solution is always the same.

•  Apply the brakes firmly; don't lift your foot from the brake pedal.
•  Shift to Neutral.
•  Steer to the side of the road.
•  Switch off the engine, then shift into Park.
