The Impact of Use of Cannabis on Aspects Related to Safety and Accidents
Since March 31, 2021, recreational use of marijuana is legal in New York. While this is a progressive step, there are some consequences and impacts that need to be kept in mind. Various researches have been done in the United States that attempt to study the impact of cannabis legalization with respect to safety and occurrence of accidents. In addition to New York, 10 states have legalized the recreational use of cannabis. Data suggests that crashes are up as much as 5.2% in states that have legalized marijuana in comparison to neighboring states that have not. These estimates do not include New York. A study was done exclusively in Colorado brought out the following insights: Significant increase in consumption of marijuana with sales doubling between 2014 to 2018. Roughly 14% of legal adult residents admitted to using marijuana in the past 30 days. Another 20% youth admitted to using marijuana. Consumption is especially dangerous for young drivers facing the learning curve that comes with driving on top of drug impairment. As use of cannabis has increased, drugged driving fatalities have also increased. Drugged driving fatalities have increased 153% between 2013 and 2017. With respect to driving, here are some important findings: 69% of cannabis users have driven under the influence of marijuana at least once in the past year. 27% of cannabis users admitted to driving high almost daily. 10% believe cannabis use makes them a better driver. Using the above data, Siler & Ingber conducted a study to derive similar estimates for New York. Here are the findings: 14.391% of legal adult residents have admitted to using in the past 30 days in Colorado. That would equate to 2,244,266 adults in NY. Approximately 61.3% of the New York population has a driver’s license. That would put approximately 949,257 pot users behind the wheel while high at least once in a year in New York. That would also equate to roughly 371,448 drivers driving impaired by marijuana on a daily basis. Per year, 12,133 marijuana hospitalizations are expected. Approximately 408 cases of drugged driving fatalities are estimated per year based on the number of drivers in New York. With regard to DUI, 1,946 cases are estimated to be reported every year based on the number of drivers. The detailed findings of the study are available here. As this study was conducted before the legalization of marijuana in New York, and based on estimates, Siler & Ingber plans to update the study using actual facts and figures as data comes in. What can you do if you suffer an injury in a marijuana-related incident? If you suffer an injury due to someone who is under the influence of cannabis, you can hire a personal injury attorney to represent you.

Motorcycle Accidents: What Should You Know About Them?
As we observe National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month in May, here are some things that we would like to share with our readers. Data from New York suggests that: Even though only 2% registered vehicles in NYC are motorcycles, they account for 14% of traffic-related fatalities. More than half the fatalities (56%) are among those aged below 35 years. Nearly all fatalities are male riders. Importantly, nearly half (43%) motorcycle riders involved in a fatality were not properly licensed to ride a motorcycle. The above statistics paint a grim picture about the state of motorcyclists in New York. It is important to encourage safety among riders to contribute towards fewer accidents and fatalities. Riders involved in motorcycle accidents can end up with serious and long-term injuries. Moreover, if the accident has been caused due to someone’s negligence, it is important to work with auto accident attorney as insurance companies are quick to pin the blame on motorcycle riders without offering the due compensation. Some of the common causes of motorcycle accidents caused due to someone’s negligence are: Driver Following Too Closely – Following too closely is always an unsafe driving behavior. It becomes more dangerous when the car engaging in the tailgating outweighs the motorcycle by a significant measure, and the motorcyclist lacks the protections of a car. Driver Drunk or Distracted – Drunk driving is a seriously reckless behavior, and distracted driving can be just as dangerous. A distracted driver is any driver whose attention is not on the road, whether it’s instead focused on cell phone use, eating, applying makeup, or anything else. Driver Made an Improper Lane Change – Hundreds of accidents occur every year simply because the driver of another vehicle did not see a biker when turning left or changing lanes. Unfortunately, drivers often overlook motorcycles on the road. Dangerous Road Conditions – Because motorcyclists lack the protections provided by a four-wheel, enclosed vehicle, they are more susceptible to being affected by hazards on the road. Furthermore, their two-wheel design makes them susceptible to flipping or losing control when hitting potholes or uneven lanes. To know more about motorcycle accident injury claims. Click here.

Personal Injury Claims for Hearing Loss: All You Need to Know
Losing your sense of hearing can be a devastating and life-altering experience, especially if caused due to someone’s negligence. In such a case it is important to work with a top injury attorney to get a fair compensation. Hearing loss is of two types: Conductive hearing loss: it is a result of damage to the sound-conducting bones of your inner ear or a malfunction of your eardrum or wax that hinders the sound waves. Fortunately, in most cases, this is reversible with treatment. Sensorineural hearing loss: It is often a result of an injury to the ear. Since it leads to nerve damage, hearing loss is irreversible in majority of the cases. Hearing loss can also be a combination of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. Overall, prolonged exposure to loud noises, injuries to the head, or sudden exposure to an extremely loud noise are the primary causes of hearing loss. Some of the common causes of hearing losses as a result of accidents are: Motor vehicle accidents: In a car crash, hearing loss can be due to the excessive noise or airbag explosion. Moreover, resultant injuries such as brain injury or perforated ear drum can also lead to hearing loss. Accidents at the work place: Often, people involved in working with heavy and loud machinery such as at a construction site, can lose their sense of hearing as a result of this occupational hazard. However, OSHA regulations are in place to minimize such risks. Additionally, the onus of warning the employee about this occupational hazard lies with the employer, and if they fail to do so, they can be held legally liable. Medical negligence: Hearing loss may also be a result of medical negligence by a doctor, nurse or other health care worker, though such cases are rare. If someone has suffered hearing loss due to the aforementioned or any other accident caused by someone else, you’re entitled to a compensation. You can also claim a compensation in cases of partial or temporary hearing loss as long as it was caused by someone’s negligence. At the same time, it is important to remember that hearing loss cases are very complex as proving negligence can be a challenge, hence, it is recommended to work with a personal injury attorney. Remember, the compensation depends on various factors such as the extent of hearing loss (full or partial), age of the victim, expenses incurred after the injury, other losses, etc. Trust a personal injury lawyer to help you arrive at a fair settlement derived keeping all these factors in mind. If you or someone you know has suffered hearing loss due to someone’s negligence and you need the best personal injury attorney, contact Siler & Ingber today.

Injured in a Bicycle Accident? Here’s What You Should Know
Biking is becoming a preferred mode of commuting for many New Yorkers, and why not? It is a good way to keep fit and an environment friendly choice. At the same time, there is also an increase in bicycle-related accidents, injuries, and fatalities. Data released in 2020 suggests that there were 3,835 crashes in New York City involving cyclists and motorists in which the cyclist was injured or killed. A bigger concern is the higher likelihood of the cyclist suffering serious injuries as compared to the motor vehicle driver who caused the crash primarily due to the physical vulnerabilities of a cyclist. But what’s causing so many bicycle accidents? Here are some of the most common causes: Drunk Driving – Drunk driving is one of the most common causes of bicycle accidents. These drivers also endanger other motorists as well as pedestrians. Distracted Driving – Drivers distracted due to texting, eating, talking with passengers, etc., also cause serious accidents which can also include cyclists. While it is difficult to prove that a driver was distracted at the time of the bicycle accident, a personal injury attorney is well-equipped to gather the necessary evidence. Unsafe Road Conditions – Bicyclists are vulnerable to injuries caused by unsafe road conditions. If the roads are not maintained by the local governments, you could be entitled to a claim against those responsible for roadway maintenance. Driver Did Not See Cyclist – If a motor vehicle driver does not give the right-of-way to a bicyclist, makes a turn and does not see the bicyclist, or drifts into the bike lane, can result in an accident. Dooring – This occurs when a motorist opens his or her car door and obstructs the safe passage of a bicycle. New York Vehicle and Traffic Law 1214 prohibits motorists from opening car doors when this action disrupts the flow of traffic, and this cause of bicycle injuries. If a bicyclist has been an injured due to any of the above reasons or more caused due to someone’s negligence, they can file a personal injury claim with the help of a top injury attorney. A personal injury lawyer will help file a settlement by taking into account all the hardships imposed on you due to the accident such as medical bills, lost wages, physical / emotional therapy, pain and suffering, lost enjoyment of life, or wrongful death. It is best to work with a personal injury attorney as the settlement received from the at-fault party’s insurance will be inadequate and only cover immediate medical bills.

Changes in Medical Malpractice Laws for Nursing Homes and Hospitals in New York Due to COVID-19
On March 24, 2021, the New York Senate unanimously passed legislation that removes protection for nursing homes and hospitals in New York State against liability for COVID-19 malpractice lawsuits. The legislation is effective immediately. It is important that personal injury attorneys as well as medical malpractice lawyers take note of this. Why has this legislation been passed? New York’s “Emergency Disaster Treatment Protection Act” went into effect with the New York budget in April 2020 which granted extra protections against liability granted to nursing homes, hospitals, and other health care facilities for treating patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the context of the pandemic, this Act provided immunity to doctors, nurses, and health care providers from potential liability because of decisions, actions and errors related to the care of people during the COVID-19 pandemic. These protections and immunity have now been repealed with “The Treatment Protection Act” coming into play since March 24, 2021. This decision also comes in light keeping in mind the fact that more than 15000 people have died in nursing homes due to COVID-19. It is important that healthcare staff is held accountable in cases where a death has occurred due to their negligence. Repealing this protection also aims at encouraging transparency and accountability. What does this change mean for nursing homes, hospitals and other health care facilities? The repeal of this protection mandates nursing homes to prominently display informing residents of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program. Additionally, nursing homes, hospitals and health care facilities are expected by the Department of Health to publish a patient bill of rights in the six most common non-English languages spoken in New York State. Lastly, in order to encourage transparency, this change also alters the review process to change accountable party of the proposals filed with the Public Health and Health Planning Councilregarding the ownership and operation of nursing homes. What should you keep in mind in case you want to file a medical malpractice lawsuit? This change in medical malpractice provisions allows people to sue a healthcare worker (doctors / nurses) in case they lose a loved due to COVID-19 or other causes. The protection provided by the Emergency Disaster Protection Act provisions will not apply to the medical malpractice lawsuit anymore. Your medical malpractice attorney can help you navigate through the complexities of the law so that you can get the compensation you deserve.

Recreational use of cannabis is now legal in New York
As on March 31, 2021, recreational use of marijuana is legal in New York. Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law the New York State Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (“MRTA”), which legalized recreational use of marijuana for adults over the age of 21.Here are frequently asked questions answered. When will the law be enforced? The law is effective immediately, that is, use of recreational marijuana is legal since March 31, 2021, however, retail sales of marijuana are not expected to begin till 2022. What will the MRTA entail? Under MRTA, an Office of Cannabis Management to oversee and regulate the new adult-use cannabis program will be established. This will also include the State’s medical and cannabinoid hemp programs. The MRTA also establish a new Cannabis Law which will consolidate all the laws affecting the abovementioned programs. What does legalizing of marijuana mean for employers? Legalizing of marijuana for recreational use will reflect in the NYS Labor Law Section 201-d (legal activities law) as it will amended to discontinue an employer from refusing to hire, employ, or license; to discharge from employment; or otherwise discriminate against an individual because he/she uses cannabis lawfully outside of work hours, off the employer’s premises and without use of the employer’s equipment or other property. Largely, the amendment asks that there should be no discrimination against employees who consume marijuana for recreational purposes. However, exceptions remain, that is, an employer will not be violating the law if they take an action against an employee in a cannabis-related accident if (1) the actions are required by the state or federal statute, regulation, ordinance, or other state or federal government mandate or (2) if the use of cannabis impairs the employee, impacts their performance, interferes with the employer’s responsibility to provide a safe workplace. What are the risks involved in legalizing marijuana? The decision comes with its pros and cons. Of course, the actual impact will be gauged over time. However, long before the legalization, the attorneys at Siler & Ingber analyzed trends nationally and in Colorado to paint a better picture of what NY roads could look like if the Cannabis Regulation & Taxation Act is passed. Overall, it emerged that there lies a risk of 1,946 DUI marijuana-related citations in New York every year, 408 drug driving fatalities and 12,133 marijuana related hospitalizations. This issue might be further exacerbated by the fact that: There are no national standards or standardized tests for weed-impaired drivers. Current tests used for detecting alcohol impairment are only moderately successful at detecting weed impairment. Many patrol officers are not adequately trained in marijuana impairment detection. Even with proper testing (blood, urine, or saliva), finding the presence of a drug doesn’t necessarily indicate impairment. Metabolites from marijuana can stay in the system for weeks. The detailed findings of the study are available here. As this study was conducted before the legalization of marijuana in New York, and based on estimates, Siler & Ingber plans to update the study using actual facts and figures as data comes in. What can you do if you suffer an injury in a marijuana-related incident? If you suffer an injury due to someone who is under the influence of cannabis, you can hire a personal injury attorney to represent you. This includes car accidents, injury on someone’s property, pedestrian accidents, etc. If you or someone you know has suffered an injury due to someone’s negligence and you need the best injury attorney, contact Siler & Ingber today.

All You Need to Know About OSHA as an Employer
If you’re an employer in the United States, it is important that you orient yourself with the Occupational Safety and Health Hazard Administration (OSHA). It is the holy grail for any business owner in the United States. OSHA is a federal government agency. Its aim is to ensure safe and healthy working conditions for employees by mandating implementation of certain safety standards as well as provide timely and updated information on workplace safety. For example, if an employee suffers an injury at work such as an accident at a construction site, their construction accident attorney will first ask for OSHA-related documentation from the employer to ensure that standards are met. Here are a few important aspects of OSHA that every employer should know. What does OSHA do? To put it simply, OSHA provides safety standards for various industries and sectors such as hospitality, construction sites, manufacturing units, etc. The end objective is to avoid any workplace injury to occur. OSHA also provides training to employers to ensure effective implementation of safety standards. OSHA also undertakes inspections of workplaces. If you’re an employer and found in violation on any OSHA code, you’re liable to pay a fine for violating workers’ rights. To whom does OSHA apply? OSHA protects most private-sector employers and employees. In fact, it also serves federal employees. However, while OSHA can penalize private-sector organizations in case of a violation, it cannot fine a federal agency. Moreover, people who work in local government bodies or in industries administered by specific federal agencies such as mining do not fall under the purview of OSHA. How is OSHA implemented? At the federal level, OSHA is small agency and with state-level partners it has a little more than 1800 inspectors. Latest data estimates suggest that OSHA currently covers 130 million workers across the country. As is evident, the OSHA inspector to worker ratio is about one inspector for every 70,000 workers. OSHA has a preset budget at the beginning of every financial year. In 2021, its budget is approximated at $591,787,000. In terms of inspections conducted, last available data of 2019 suggests that OSHA inspectors undertook nearly 34000 inspections. What are the common violations observed by OSHA inspectors? In 2019, Federal OSHA released a report which highlighted the top ten violations observed during inspections. They’re as follows: Fall protection, construction Hazard communication standard, general industry Scaffolding, general requirements, construction Control of hazardous energy (lockout/tagout), general industry Respiratory protection, general industry Ladders, construction Powered industrial trucks, general industry Fall Protection–Training Requirements Machinery and Machine Guarding, general requirements Eye and Face Protection If you’re an employer, the onus of your workers’ safety lies on you. It is your responsibility to make sure that you provide them with a healthy and safe working space. In fact, ensuring that your workers are given adequate care and proper provisions will be beneficial for you in the long run. In fact, to make sure that your OSHA standards are up to the mark, you can hire a lawyer as per your business, for example a construction accident attorney or a personal injury attorney to help you validate that the worksite meets the OSHA criteria effectively. This is an important step because if there’s a mishappening at the work site and a worker in injured, their injury attorney will first check for OSHA violations.
