New Year’s Eve is considered one of the heaviest drinking holidays in the United States. While more and more Americans are choosing to ring in the New Year at home, millions still celebrate by going to bars and clubs or attending holiday events.

Our lawyers are concerned about road safety, especially during the holidays. We wanted to find out when and where the most fatal crashes occur during the New Year Holiday. We isolated all deadly crashes that occurred on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.

· 916 total fatal crashes

· 1,004 fatalities

· 341 fatal crashes involving drunk drivers

Our personal injury attorneys encourage everyone to celebrate and enjoy themselves ringing in the new year. We hope that seeing the numbers and understanding the risk helps people make the decision to celebrate safely.

Winter Car Accidents

Celebratory moods can lead to overindulgence. This excess leads to recklessness and an increase in car accidents during the holidays.

The Department of Transportation urges drivers to follow these top three-holiday safety tips:

· Drive sober. Drunk driving car crashes are almost four times more fatal.

· Wear a seatbelt. The DOT reported in 2020 that in fatal crashes where seatbelts were available, 58% of riders were not using them.

· Avoid distractions like eating, reading, grooming, watching videos, and texting. Drivers texting are 23 times more likely to crash their motor vehicle.

Hundreds of accidents occur every year because of driver distractions.

Distracted driving involves any activity that diverts your attention from the task of safe driving. It includes talking or texting on the phone, eating and drinking, talking to people in the vehicle, fiddling with the radio, or using navigation systems. Most distracted driving actions, though dangerous, are legal. If you have been injured through no fault of your own, we can help!

Commercial Truck Accident Lawyer

Did you know there are over eleven million trucks operating actively across the United States, many with overworked drivers carrying hazardous materials? In 2016 alone, there were 475,000 large truck accidents, with human error accounting for roughly ninety percent of them.

With so many drivers relying on highways to get to work every day, it takes just one overworked truck driver for your life to change in an instant. After all, trucks weigh 20-30 times more than a typical car, which can seriously amplify the impact and consequences of an accident.

If you or a loved one are involved in an accident with a truck, retaining the services of an attorney becomes vital.

Because truck drivers are often insured in the millions and more than one party can be held vicariously responsible for a driver’s negligence, having a lawyer at your side as soon as possible will help to ensure your case is handled in the most professional manner.

Identifying all the different lines of insurance is difficult in trucking accidents as the truck and trailer are often insured by different companies, with either or both possibly being guilty of negligence.

Negligent Security Lawyers

https://bit.ly/3RKeVx7 | (312) 888-6058

What is a Negligent Security Lawsuit?

Negligent security lawsuits, also referred to as inadequate security cases, arising out of a property owner’s failure to put in reasonable security measures at their place of business. If the lack of security results in a serious injury or wrongful death, the crime victim may file a negligent security lawsuit. Property owners are responsible for foreseeable crime on their property because a business owner is in a much better position than its customers to know about dangers on and around their property. These types of cases are filed in civil court to recover money damages such as medical bills and pain and suffering. A negligent security attorney must prove the following in order to prevail in a preventable crime negligence claim:

1. That the property owner owed a legal duty to protect the injured party (ex: A hotel has a duty to protect its guests from known, foreseeable dangers);

2. That the legal duty was breached by failing to provide proper security (ex: A hotel knows that its parking lot is dark and dangerous yet fails to employ a private security guard to patrol the area);

3. That the breach caused the injury complained of (ex: The hotel’s lack of adequate security was the proximate cause of a hotel guest being r***d in the parking lot); and,

4. That the plaintiff suffered damages (ex: A hotel guest was sexually assaulted).

As negligent security attorneys, we regularly handle inadequate security cases resulting in serious injuries.

What Is the Most Common Type of Car Accident?

https://bit.ly/3RKeVx7 | (312) 888-6058

What Is the Most Common Type of Car Accident?

Background on Angle and Rear-End Collisions

Rear-end collisions constitute the greatest number of injury-causing crashes, at 33 percent, while angle crashes account for 26 percent of injury-causing crashes, according to 2019 data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The organization further reports that angle collisions cause 18.6 percent of crash fatalities, followed by rear-end collisions, which contributes to 7 percent of motor-vehicle crash deaths. Although angle and rear-end collisions represent the most common types of accidents, there is an endless list of car accident types that cause injury.

Actions to Take After a Car Accident

After a car accident, you should first seek medical care even if you do not feel like you suffered a serious injury. You may have possibly suffered internal injuries that have not yet manifested. The sooner you treat these injuries, the better your chance of a fast recovery.

Also, the less time that passes between your accident and your medical exam, the better it is for you. If you allow a large amount of time to pass before seeking medical attention for your injuries, the other party will question whether the collision caused your injuries.

Once you receive the care you need, you should speak with a lawyer about your options for pursuing compensation. Do this no matter how your accident occurred or who you believe was at fault. Car accident laws vary from state to state, and you may be eligible for a monetary award even if you were told the contrary.

What is my personal injury case worth?

Personal injury lawyers should have a good idea of what your case is worth. At the very least, an attorney should be able to provide a spectrum and explain how various factors such as discovery, liability, and preexisting medical issues might impact a settlement offer or verdict. Do your research and use your best judgment in evaluating a potential lawyer’s claims. Be wary of personal injury lawyers who make estimates that seem completely unrealistic.

Why Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

https://bit.ly/3RKeVx7 | (312) 888-6058

Why Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

You don’t have to hire a lawyer after an accident . There are several reasons why it’s a really good idea to ask for help from an experienced attorney near you

· You Need Help Building Your Case: Your law firm will be your advocate as they investigate your accident, gather evidence, identify liable parties, and file claims or lawsuits to hold them accountable. These steps require an in-depth understanding of not only personal injury law, but civil procedure. Any missteps can hurt your ability to win your case. Hiring a lawyer helps to ensure that everything is done right.


· You’re More Likely to Recover Maximum Compensation: Research suggests that hiring a lawyer means you’re not just more likely to win, but more likely to get more money for you. In fact, one study found that accident victims who hired counsel recovered 3.5 times more than those who didn’t.

· You Deserve a Level Playing Field: The insurance company handles claims like yours every day. They’ll have an advantage from the start. Hiring a personal injury lawyer can protect you from aggressive, greedy insurance companies and put them on level ground. Hiring the right attorney for your case can even tip the odds of a meaningful win in your favor.

· You Need Time To Recover: Your attorney will handle all aspects of your claim from start to finish. In the meantime, you’ll have the opportunity you need to focus on getting better. This can reduce the stress you’re under and help to speed up your recovery.

You have the power to choose which law firm you hire after an accident. Making the right choice can help to set you up for the victory you deserve.

How to find out what your personal injury claim is worth?

After compiling your documentation, you need to determine what your claim will be worth. In other words, you are estimating the amount of compensation you need to be made whole. Your claim for damages will consist of the following:

· Your medical expenses, including any covered by your health insurance as well as your out-of-pocket expenses such as copays and deductibles

· Your lost income if you are unable to work following the accident or have to take days off to attend doctor’s appointments and physical therapy

· The cost to repair or replace your vehicle

· Your pain and suffering

Most non-lawyers settle their cases for far less than they are worth and then find themselves with bills they can’t pay. An experienced personal injury accident lawyer will be able to estimate the total value of your claim, and then make sure you are fairly compensated for your losses.
