Impact of proposed BAC changes on DUI charges in New York
2013-05-30
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) recently issued a report aimed at lowering the number of drunk driving accidents across the United States. One controversial change the report calls for: lower the legal blood alcohol limit for drivers from 0.08 to 0.05.
Why the push to lower the limit? The NTSB states that impaired driving is a national epidemic, and with almost 10,000 people killed in alcohol related crashes and close to 175,000 more injured every year, the concern is understandable.
Critics argue that although the number of deaths and injuries connected ...
Injured on the job in South Carolina? You have options
2013-05-30
Many workplaces have made significant advances in providing workers with a safe environment to complete their daily tasks. However, despite improving conditions, accidents still happen frequently. When a workplace accident occurs, the injured worker may have a difficult time meeting monthly expenses, especially if his or her injuries require extensive medical attention and time off of work.
The South Carolina workers' compensation statutes provide injured workers an avenue to seek compensation for their medical expenses and lost wages while they are recovering. The laws ...
Wrongful death lawsuits and the challenges facing families
2013-05-30
When a family loses a loved one unexpectedly, there will be many issues that will need to be resolved as the loss is mourned. It can take time for families to handle all of the emotions that often arise during this difficult time. While no person can ever be replaced, if another person's negligence caused this death, families may be able to recover compensation for their loss.
These wrongful death lawsuits may present unique challenges to families as they pursue damages from those responsible. In some situations, finding the parties who actually caused the accident that ...
New York DUI law and ignition interlock devices
2013-05-30
The National Transportation Safety Board, or NTSB, recently called for states throughout the country, including New York, to implement various changes to their driving under the influence (DUI) laws. One area the agency focused on was the use of ignition interlock devices.
Ignition interlock devices are tools used to prevent those under the influence of alcohol from operating their vehicles. The devices require a driver to provide a breath sample before the vehicle will start, which is then tested for alcohol. If the sample is over a certain provided limit, the vehicle ...
Study finds diet soda can increase intoxication, lead to DUI
2013-05-30
Medical News Today recently released an article with an interesting finding: the choice of soda used to mix a drink can impact intoxication. The finding, from a study published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, was the result of an experiment reviewing the impact of intoxication when people mix alcohol with diet versus regular soda.
The researchers used a small group of 16 people. These participants drank one of three beverages: Squirt with alcohol, Diet Squirt with alcohol and a placebo. The participants then took a breathalyzer test and ...
Truck accidents one potential fracking hazard
2013-05-30
Over the past decade, hydraulic fracturing - also known as fracking - has become a controversial issue across the U.S., particularly in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is home to the Marcellus Shale, the largest deposit of shale gas reserves in the country. The proximity of this formation to the large population centers on the east coast has made it a prime target for development by energy companies.
Much of the debate about fracking is centered on the potentially dire environmental effects of the practice and the possibility of contaminated drinking water, which could cause ...
Should states lower the legal limit for driving while intoxicated?
2013-05-30
The National Transportation Safety Board recently issued a recommendation that states modify their DUI laws to substantially lower the blood-alcohol content at which drivers are considered legally intoxicated. In all 50 states, including New Jersey, drivers with a BAC of 0.08 or above can be convicted of driving while intoxicated. The NTSB recommends lowering the legal BAC limit by more than a third to just 0.05.
Federal agency recommends 0.05 BAC limit
The NTSB is a federal agency devoted to investigating transportation safety issues and making recommendations to ...
Dealing with the uncertainties of divorce
2013-05-30
When a couple is experiencing problems with their marriage, they may not want to consider filing for divorce until they done all that they could to keep things together. When all of these efforts fail, they may realize that divorce is the best option for moving forward. But, it can be difficult to finally take that step. Many people are uncertain about what happens during a divorce and are afraid of the changes that may result.
Even the easiest divorces will still cause some degree of difficulty for those involved. The parties may agree to child custody and property ...
New technologies can help prevent car accidents
2013-05-30
Each year, automobile manufacturers introduce new technologies designed to help prevent serious car accidents and save lives. While many of these new technologies show promise, not all of them are as successful as manufacturers would like. According to a new study by the Highway Loss Data Institute, several new technologies do appear to offer significant safety benefits.
Researchers from the HLDI examined crash data and accident rates among cars with and without three new technologies:
- Forward collision avoidance systems with autonomous braking: cars with this technology ...
State v. Wilson: North Carolina DWI law is complex and evolving
2013-05-30
In summer 2010, a Winston-Salem police officer made an arrest for possible drunk driving under unique circumstances that ended at a local hospital with a forced blood draw. According to the Winston-Salem Journal, the arrestee alleged that the officer sat on the defendant while a nurse drew the blood sample -- without the officer having obtained a court-ordered search warrant.
Specifically, the Journal reports that the policeman stopped at a local gas station on an unrelated matter and found defendant Kelvin Deon Wilson sitting in the driver's seat of a truck with an ...
