  In a car accident that occurred yesterday two people were killed when two horses got loose from their owner. Although this appears to the public as a freak accidents car accidents involving horses, cows etc. occur quite frequently. In the ten years I have practices law I have handled at least five such accidents. In these cases the owner of the animals has a duty to0 reasonably contain the...

  Another unfortunate car/bus accident occurred yesterday in Auburn when a teenager apparently pulled out in front a bus causing a collision that killed one of his passengers. This is just another example of a rash of accidents involving teenagers and involving deaths. It does not appear that there is any answer to the issue as raising the driving age would not solve the problem as in my opinion...

  Unfortunately the woman I blogged about yesterday, Joanne Browning, died as a result of the injuries sustained in the fall off the roof. Now the family is left with difficult legal issues involving both the death benefits provided by Workers Compensation as well as the wrongful death claim. The wrongful death statute is very complicated in this State and numerous factors exist as to potential...

  A Louisiana town has passed an ordinance against baggy pants.With all the issues and concerns we have in our country should our elected representatives be spending time with that issue? Much legislation is need that can benefit our citizens we need to focus on those issues not nonsense.

• Motorcycle Accidents - Central Square/Syracuse

  The public has a misconception about motorcycles and their riders. Most people if you ask them about motorcycles they would say that the riders are reckless and cause accidents. Although this sometimes is true for those younger riders on sport bikes it is mainly untrue about older operators. In fact, the age and occupations of motorcyclists has become very diverse over the years with...

  Wearing a helmet is good advice whenever you operate a motorcycle ,ATV, or bicycle. A recent accident shows what happens if you do not. The benefits of wearing safety equipment are always more obvious after the accident.

• Car Accidents - Syracuse - Intersections

  One of the most common factual situations I see in practice involving car accidents involves motorists pulling out from stop signs into the path of other motorists. I would have to assume that the majority of these accidents could be prevented if we came to a complete stop and took a complete look of oncoming traffic.Last night another such accident occurred in Pompey causing serious injuries. ...

• Car Accident - Thruway - Syracuse

  Rob Quattrocci | October 13, 2007 10:23 AM | 0 CommentsSyracuse, NY

  It appears that several serious car accidents occurred last night with the most serious having taken place on the Thruway. It appears that a car crossed the median and struck another vehicle head-on. Tragically, it appears that a six year old child was in one of the cars and was serious injuries. In addition, it appears that the child lost a parent in that crash. In New York the wrongful...

  Another death occurred last night in the Rome area when a pedestrian was struck by a motor vehicle. The investigation has not yet revealed the details of the crash. As the winter approaches we need to be prepared for additional accidents and we need to equip our cars appropriaytely with snow tires etc. If you are injured in a car accident you have certain legal rights and should discuss those...
