Be Careful Driving NY Roads on Blackout Wednesday
Blackout Wednesday, Drinksgiving, Thanksgiving Eve, Black Wednesday. Regardless of what you call the day before Thanksgiving, one thing is sure– it’s one of the deadliest days of the year. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving sparks a ton of excitement. College students are home from school, families have arrived from out of town, and many employers allow their workers the day off for an extended weekend. Unfortunately, this gathering day has garnered a harmful reputation as a drinking holiday, and most spend it out of the home. According to Upserve, on Blackout Wednesday, bars generally see a 270 percent increase in beer sales and a 114 percent increase in liquor sales. With more drinking parties that occur on a single night, your chances of becoming the victim of a drunk driving accident surge. With the AAA predicting more than 53.4 million people traveling this holiday, the risks for traffic accidents are already higher than ever. Americans are eager to see family members they missed during the pandemic, and will indeed be celebrating to make up for the lost time. It’s up to all New York City motorists to use caution and common sense on the roads on this holiday. Buzzed driving and drunk driving are reckless and unnecessary, not to mention illegal in every state. Help keep your community safe by staying informed and spreading the word about the danger of ”Blackout Wednesday” this week. Drunk Driving Trends on Blackout Wednesday The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (N.H.T.S.A.) reports that nearly one third of all traffic fatalities nationwide are caused by drunk drivers, all with blood alcohol levels at or above .08. In 2019 alone, 10,142 people were killed in drunk driving crashes. Most of these tragedies occurred during evening hours (midnight to 3:00 am), when drinking establishments wind down business for the night. Drunk driving fatalities always peak around holidays known for drinking, including the Fourth of July, Labor Day, St. Patrick’s Day, and the upcoming Thanksgiving Eve. From 2014 to 2019, the N.H.T.S.A. reported over 800 alcohol-related traffic fatalities on the days surrounding Thanksgiving; in fact, one-third of all fatal accidents that occur over this holiday break is the result of impaired driving. The Deadly History Behind Blackout Wednesday Sadly, Blackout Wednesday has been around for decades, but it wasn’t always known as a day for drunk driving. According to the StarTribune, the tradition of gathering for drinks the day before Thanksgiving started with small towns and villages. Neighbors would bounce from house to house, or walk to local pubs to visit with friends and family who were home for the holidays. There wasn’t too much travel involved, especially by car, so drunk driving rates were relatively low. Drunk driving accidents became heavily associated with Blackout Wednesday when holiday gatherings before Thanksgiving transitioned from homes to bars and restaurants. This required people to start driving, sometimes far distances, to meet with friends and family, often without adjusting any drinking habits. According to a study by Scram Systems, 52 percent of drunk drivers caught during the Thanksgiving period claim to drink more over the holidays compared to other times of the year, out of both desire and expectation. Binge drinking culture is highly encouraged among friend groups over the holidays, only making matters worse when it comes to safety on our roads. Drive Sober or Not At All The safest step you can take to reduce drunk driving accidents on Blackout Wednesday is never to drink and drive. There is no good excuse to drive intoxicated in a society with ridesharing services at your fingertips. Drunk driving is dangerous, no matter how few drinks you’ve consumed. Any amount of alcohol can impair your judgment behind the wheel, and it only takes a minor error to cause a catastrophic accident. While staying home is also one of the safest ways to reduce drunk driving accidents this holiday, we understand that New Yorkers are eager to leave their homes. If going out to celebrate Thanksgiving Eve is part of your plan, here are some steps you can take ahead of time to stay safe on your night out: Drink in moderation. Blackout Wednesday is heavily associated with binge drinking, as the namesake implies. Binge drinking is unhealthy and dangerous. The more you drink, the worse your judgment becomes. Drink responsibly to reduce your chance of making unsafe decisions you would never make sober, including getting into a car with a drunk driver or driving intoxicated yourself. Plan ahead. Don’t get caught out at the bar without a ride. Plan your rides and transportation routes before you leave to avoid risky decisions later. Call a ride. Between Uber and Lyft, there is never a reason to find yourself without a ride. Don’t take a chance of driving intoxicated, even if the ride is short. Call a ride to save a life. Report drunk drivers. If you see someone is trying to get behind the wheel and is clearly intoxicated, try to stop them if it’s safe. If the situation is out of your control, report the driver to local authorities. Do not let others drive drunk.

Five Types of Car & Truck Accident Damages You Should Know About
An accident caused due to someone negligence can cause a lot more than injuries. One of the most common accidents to occur in New York and its vicinity are motor vehicle accidents such as car accidents, truck accidents, bus accidents, etc. The injuries sustained in such an accident can vary from mild to severe, but there’s more to it. Let us understand the different types of injuries that you should tell your personal injury attorney about. Loss of Wages: An accident often leaves the injured person incapacitated to be able to go to work for a short or long period of time due to the injuries sustained and the recovery time required, hence, lose income. This is referred to as loss of wages. Any top injury lawyer will ensure that the loss of wages due to the accident are duly included in the settlement proposed to the at-fault party. Pain & suffering: Accidents are traumatic – physically and mentally. In that context, pain & suffering is an attempt to assign a monetary value to the physical and mental suffering that the victim wouldn’t have undergone if not because of the accident. The cost is calculated based on the evidence provided in relation to the accident. Essentially, these are non-economic damages and should be duly compensated. Medical expenses: These are the most straightforward type of expenses and refer to the medical bills borne by the injured party. It is important to note that some injuries require long-term treatment, and the personal injury attorney should be made privy to these so that they can be appropriately included in the settlement. Out-of-pocket expenses: These expenses refer to a variety of costs related to the injuries sustained by the victim. Examples of these expenses include transportation from home to the hospital for medical care, stay in a hotel in situations where medical expenses are sought out of the station, over the counter medication expenses, rental car expenses, parking fees, etc. Property damage: In various scenarios, a motor vehicle accident caused by a car, truck, etc., can lead to property damage, for example, if a car rams into a wall of a store on the roadside, etc. In such a scenario, in addition to the injuries sustained by the victim, any expenses related to the property and its repairs should also be covered under the settlement.

Importance of a Witness in a Car Accident Claim
A car accident is often a result of someone’s negligence. In such a scenario, the victim is owed compensation for the injuries they’ve incurred as well as other long- and short-term damages. In order to receive fair compensation, evidence is pertinent in a car accident claim. Evidence includes photographs, documentation such as medical bills, proof of loss of income/livelihood due to the injuries sustained, etc. Among the various evidence available, witnesses also play an important role, as agreed by car accident attorneys. Here is what you need to know about witnesses in a car accident claim. Types of witnesses There are two types of witnesses in a car accident claim: Eyewitness: refer to someone who was at the site of the accident, however, not one of the passengers in the motor vehicle that suffered or caused the accident. Their testimony is objective and a near first-hand account of what occurred at the site of the accident. Examples of eyewitnesses are pedestrians at the site of the accident, other drivers at the site of the accident, and employers/owners/customers of businesses in and around the area of the accident. If someone has been in an accident, car accident lawyers recommend that they try to talk to the witnesses and record their contact details to reach them at the time of filing the claim, and request their statement. Expert witness: In scenarios where claims are more complex than usual, and negligence cannot be proved with the evidence at hand, it is recommended to include expert witness testimony, for example, a medical professional who can confirm that the injuries caused are due to the accident. This can strengthen the claim and prove the negligence of the at-fault driver. Hence, in addition to maintaining medical records and expenses, it is pertinent to talk to the medical professional and seek their help, if required, as a witness. Impact of a witness on a case Both the categories of witnesses, as mentioned above, are important to a car accident claim. They build the evidence and strengthen it so that the victim can receive the compensation they deserve. Hence, witnesses, in addition to other evidence are critical to a car accident claim.

What to do after if you’re in a Rear-End Collision Accident
When a front of a vehicle crashes another vehicle from the rear, it is called a rear-end collision. The extent of the accident can vary from a minor bruise to a totaled car/vehicle. Moreover, it can also cause minor to severe injuries. In such a case, you’re owed compensation for the injuries suffered and other damages. A car accident attorney can help. Common injuries after a rear end collision Rear end collisions can cause physical injuries to the driver and other passengers. Here are the most common injuries after a rear-end collision. Neck injuries/Whiplash: Injuries to the neck, shoulder, and upper back are likely to occur in a rear end collision due to sudden jerk. Most often, the muscles/ligaments of the neck or shoulder stretch beyond range very quickly that causes straining or tearing of the tissue. If minor, these injuries can be cured with physiotherapy or medicines to reduce inflammation. However, a severe injury may need surgical intervention. Back or spinal injuries: The force and impact of a rear-end, especially if the vehicle was in speed, can cause severe back and spinal injuries. Spinal injuries are often serious and tend to take a long time to heal or become a lifelong condition. Bulging/herniated discs, facet joint injuries are common outcomes of rear end collisions. The treatment is often long-term and expensive. These conditions can also disrupt the day to day life of the victim. Fractured ribs: A rear end collision pushes the driver and other passenger forward. Depending on the severity of the jerk, people may end up with fractured ribs or other broken bones. In addition to being extremely painful, broken bones and fractured ribs take a long time to heal. They also restrict movement of the victim and hampers their ability to carry out daily tasks. In addition to the above, rear end collisions of high severity can also cause face disfigurement, paralysis, head/brain injuries, etc. While physical injuries do occur, such accidents also cause trauma that leads to an impact on the mental health of the victim. The post-accident trauma, medical expenses, losing income, etc. can put additional pressure on the victim’s mind causing distress. Steps to take after a rear-end collision If you’ve been injured in a rear-end collision, you deserve a settlement. This means that the person who causes the crash should pay you for all the damages caused. It is best to seek legal help from a car accident attorney to get the compensation you deserve. If you or someone you know has been injured in a car accident involving a rear-end collision, you need the car accident lawyer, contact Siler & Ingber today.

What to do if you’re involved in an Uber/Lyft Accident
Uber and Lyft have become a popular choice for people in New York. The convenience of riding in a comfortable car without the hassle of parking or navigating the crowd of a bus or subway is truly a boon for the city resident. What do numbers say? Available data suggests that Uber, Lyft, and other similar ridesharing services account for nearly 20 million trips in NYC alone. Hence, accidents involving them are also common. Statistics suggest that rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have led to a 3% increase in overall car accident fatalities. Nearly 1,000 daily car accident deaths are due to the increasing number of rideshare vehicles on the road. Uber/Lyft accident lawyers are witnessing a rapid increase in accidents involving ride sharing cars. What are the causes of these accidents? Drunk/distracted driving Driving when tired due to excessive working hours Late night driving Rash driving You can be an accident involving a ridesharing service either (1) as a rider or (2) the driver of the car/vehicle the ridesharing car collided with. In both cases, the fundamental principle is to identify the fault. Hence, the following should be considered: The person has the responsibility of reasonable care (all drivers have a duty to drive carefully and obey all traffic laws) The person who breached the responsibility of reasonable care (the other person didn’t drive carefully or didn’t obey a traffic law) You were injured and suffered damages as a result of the other person’s breach What should you do after the accident? Here are the steps you should follow: Call the police: The first step is to call the police to report the accident. The police should be informed even if there are grave injuries as a police report is mandatory to claim insurance. Seek medical attention: It is absolutely critical to immediately seek medical care to make sure that injuries get proper care and treatment. Even if you think the injury is minor, it is a good idea to just get it checked out. Sometimes, even minor pain/injuries can linger over a period of time. Importantly, safely keep all the receipts and other records of medical expenses to claim compensation/settlement at a later time. Take photos: If possible, take photos of the accident site as visual proof to what really went down at the scene of the accident. In case you cannot take photos yourself due to any reason, try and find a witness who is willing to do it for you. The photos can come in handy as a strong piece of evidence to prove negligence. Talk to a witness: If witnesses are present at the site of accident, talk to them and record (with their consent) their description of the accident. This can also become useful evidence. Report the accident: Once you have sought medical attention, report the accident to the ridesharing company as well as the concerned insurer. It will help them prepare for the next steps.

All You Need to Know About the Statute of Limitation on Filing a Car Accident in New York
Car accidents are an unfortunate and regular occurrence on the streets of New York. Thousands of accidents are reported with victims who suffer from minor to long-term injuries. In some cases, these accidents are even fatal. Car accidents are often a result of negligence which entitles the injured party to compensation for their suffering. It is best to work with car accident lawyers in such a scenario. When you’re in a car accident, it is best to report it as soon as possible. This makes the process of filing and pursuing the claim slightly less complex. However, there can be instances where the injuries are so severe that long-term medical intervention doesn’t allow one to report the accident and file for compensation. Unfortunately, when the accident is a fatal, the issue is a little more complex. At the same time there is a statute of limitation of three years in filing a car accident in New York. That is, if you don’t file the occurrence of the car accident within three years, you are at risk of not receiving any compensation. With regard to statute of limitations, here are a few more things you should know: In most cases, the statute of limitations begins to run at the time of the car accident, but in case of wrongful death claims where a victim initially survives, but succumbs to the injuries at a later time. If the victim dies in the accident, the deceased’s family/representative has two years to file suit as per New York’s wrongful death statute of limitations.’ Time limits to file the accident may be more stringent in some cases such as if your crash involved a government vehicle. Considering these terms, navigating the law can be a bit challenging, hence, it is recommended to work with a car accident attorney and guide you through the process.

What To Do After You’re In An Accident While Ride sharing
Ride sharing services such as Uber and Lyft have become the “go-to” choice for many New Yorkers. And, why not? They’re an easy, convenient, quick and feasible way to travel in a busy city without the hassle of going in a bus/train or parking your own vehicle. These ridesharing apps are responsible for millions of trips in the city. Hence, accidents involving them are also common. Car accident lawyers are witnessing a rapid increase in accidents involving ride sharing cars. What does it mean to be in an accident involving a ridesharing service? You can be in an accident involving a ridesharing service either (1) as a rider or (2) the driver of the car/vehicle the ridesharing car collided with. In both cases, the fundamental principle is to identify the fault. Hence, the following should be considered: The person has the responsibility of reasonable care (all drivers have a duty to drive carefully and obey all traffic laws) The person who breached the responsibility of reasonable care (the other person didn’t drive carefully or didn’t obey a traffic law) You were injured and suffered damages as a result of the other person’s breach What is the difference between a car accident involving a ridesharing service and those involving two privately-owned cars? With respect to determining fault, the process is similar in both of the above stated cases, however, the slight point of difference is the role of the insurer at the time when compensation is sought. Most drivers are covered by their personal auto insurance policy. Hence, when you’re involved in a car accident, you can make a claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance policy. A car accident attorney can ensure that you receive settlement for medical expenses and other damages. However, as per the “business explosion plan” in personal auto insurance policies coverage is not applicable when the driver is using their vehicle for business purposes. Hence, as soon as a rideshare driver picks up a customer, they do not have liability insurance as well as “no collision insurance” under their personal auto insurance policy. How does one claim settlement from an insurer in a car accident with a ridesharing service? The most prominent ridesharing services in New York, Uber and Lyft, provide a US $1 million in liability charges for their drivers, however, its applicability varies as per varying situations: If the driver isn’t logged into the app, no coverage is provided. When the driver is logged into the app but hasn’t accepted a ride request, then these ridesharing services provide liability coverage for any accident that’s the fault of the driver up to $50,000 per person and $100,000 total liability per accident. When the driver has accepted a trip and is on the way to the pick-up location, liability coverage is $1 million. When the customer is in the car, liability coverage is $1 million, in addition to limited coverage for damage to the driver’s car.
