And, those killed in motor vehicle accidents to date this summer in two of the most densely populated regions of the country, included 597 drivers, 203 passengers, 296 pedestrians and 57 bicyclists, according to data compiled by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles

Shakespeare recognized that sleep is the “chief nourisher in life’s feast”, despite his legendary manic work habits. But getting enough sleep often eludes millions of people, especially those who suffer from insomnia, according to a recent article in The New York Times. At wit’s end to nod off for the night, millions of Americans plunk down billions of dollars each year for prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medications to help them get their elusive Z’s. This

It’s one of those good news/bad news stories and something of a mystery. As the national economy strengthens, highway deaths nationwide have continued to rise over the past few years. According to the National Safety Council, 40,200 people were killed in traffic accidents in 2017, which amounts to a 6 percent increase over 2016. It’s the highest increase on record since 2007. Ironically, today’s cars are inarguably engineered to be the safest since Henry Ford

Traffic deaths in New York City in 2018 dropped to the lowest level in more than a century, according to the Mayor’s office. Yet, while traffic deaths are down, there have been more vehicular crashes since Mayor DeBlasio instituted his Vision Zero Action program,  based on reports provided to this blogger by the NYPD. Fatalities are down, but collisions on streets throughout 4 of the City’s 5 boroughs are up more than 11 percent from

We have been focused lately on auto accidents in the city involving young drivers behind the wheel of a car. So it’s time to examine the impact of car safety on the parents, and grandparents of these Gen Zers. When baby boomers and their elders are considering the purchase of a new car – and by the way the benefits of the following safety systems aren’t limited only to the loose-fitting jean set – an

Fatal car crashes are so common they aren’t big news anymore, as David Leonhardt pointed out in The New York Times last week. Dozens of auto accidents kill hundreds of teenagers every year. But from a news media perspective, the death of a teenager in a car crash on America’s increasingly more dangerous highways is just another day at the office and barely worthy of coverage for most U.S. news media outlets. One top New York auto accident

Millions of Americans climb into their cars every day to get to work, to shop, to visit family and friends and for a host of other reasons. “Tragically,” Jay W. Dankner, managing partner of the top New York auto accident injury law firm of Dankner Milstein, P.C. said, “many of those unsuspecting drivers behind the wheel of their cars, and their unwary passengers will actually be traveling on what recent studies show are some of

Terrifying car accidents in wintry weather, such as those that occurred as a result of this winter season’s first major snow storm – dubbed “The Bomb Cyclone” – which hit the New York metropolitan area in January, have killed nearly 4,000 Americans over the past five years, a new survey found. Survivors recount scary tales of cars and trucks flying like huge missiles around them. “While we usually think of tornadoes or floods as the

TOP NEW YORK MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT LAWYERS It’s not just bad drivers who can cause auto, truck or motorcycle accidents. Every year, thousands of motor vehicles with critical defects are introduced into the nation’s roadways because manufacturers failed to recognize a problem or design defect, or worse yet, chose to save money and not redesign the vehicle even if they were aware of a potentially deadly problem with the vehicle. Defects in older vehicles are constantly
