NEW YORK, NY, June 24, 2011 (Press-News.org) Es una historia de la que ningun padre quiere oir hablar, pero que, lamentablemente, todos hemos escuchado alguna vez. Supongamos que "Junior" pide prestado el coche y tiene un accidente. Puede ser que haya chocado simplemente contra un buzon o puede tratarse de algo mas serio. En el caso de accidentes que tengan como resultado lesiones, quien es responsable? "Junior", que solo tiene 16 anos? Sus padres? El propietario registrado del automovil?
Generalmente, de acuerdo con la ley de Vehiculos y Transito de Nueva York, cuando una persona se ve involucrada en accidente de transito conduciendo con la autorizacion del propietario del vehiculo, el propietario puede ser responsable por la negligencia del conductor. Esto quiere decir que si los padres le prestan el coche a su hijo, pueden ser responsables de cualquier dano resultante de un accidente.
El objetivo de esta ley es que los propietarios del automovil tengan un seguro adecuado y al dia para que tanto ellos como su compania de seguros esten en la mejor posicion financiera posible para afrontar los danos en propiedad y gastos medicos producto de un accidente.
Que quiere decir autorizacion?
Pero el problema de la responsabilidad se complica un poco mas cuando se trata de definir que quiere decir exactamente "autorizacion": La jurisprudencia de Nueva York ha demostrado que un padre puede ser responsable aun cuando no haya dado una autorizacion explicita al conductor. En Rodak v. Longnecker, un padre permitio a su hijo que condujera su automovil a la universidad y el hijo dejo conducir a uno de sus amigos. Cuando el amigo se vio involucrado en un accidente, el padre fue considerado indirectamente responsable del accidente, bajo la suposicion que la autorizacion para conducir el vehiculo se transmitio del padre al hijo y del hijo al amigo.
Si el padre o el dueno del vehiculo puede demostrar que el vehiculo fue, de hecho, robado por su hijo, es posible que el propietario no sea considerado como responsable. Un articulo de la ley de Vehiculos y Transito de Nueva York indica que el propietario de un vehiculo robado puede considerarse responsable por lesiones si el robo ocurrio por haber dejado las llaves en el contacto en un lugar publico y de facil acceso. Sin embargo, si el automovil se encontraba en un lugar privado, como por ejemplo estacionado afuera de una residencia, y el hijo se lo llevo sin permiso, entonces podria considerarse como un robo y se podria eximir al padre y propietario del vehiculo de su responsabilidad en caso de accidente.
Tenga en cuenta que darle las llaves de su automovil a su hijo puede implicar su responsabilidad por lesiones, ya sea que afecten a su hijo o a terceros, en caso de accidente. Asegurese de que su seguro este al dia, y si tiene alguna pregunta acerca de su responsabilidad potencial o acerca de que tipo de cobertura deberia suscribir, comuniquese con un abogado especializado en lesiones personales en su area.

Who goes there? Novel complex senses viral infection
2011-06-24
Double-stranded (ds) RNA viruses are a diverse group of viruses that include rotaviruses, a common cause of gastroenteritis. The ability of the immune system to detect and destroy viruses is critical for human health and survival. Now, a study published by Cell Press in the June 23rd issue of the journal Immunity identifies a novel sensor that is necessary to activate the immune response to viral infection. The research enhances our understanding of the complex and overlapping mechanisms our immune cells use to thwart infection.

Cautionary tale for people with diabetes: Dog consumed part of a sleeping patient's toe
2011-06-24
Van Nuys, CA – June 23, 2011 – In a case study that illustrates the need for people with diabetes to be cautious of foot injuries and to protect themselves from pets, a woman with numbness in her feet caused by diabetic neuropathy slept through a traumatic episode in which her Jack Russell terrier chewed off part of her slightly infected big toe, according to an article published in this month's issue of the Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association.
The patient's wound required surgery, and it ultimately led the amputation of her leg, leaving her a double ...

Scientists a step closer to understanding 'natural antifreeze' molecules
2011-06-24
Scientists have made an important step forward in their understanding of cryoprotectants – compounds that act as natural 'antifreeze' to protect drugs, food and tissues stored at sub-zero temperatures.
Researchers from the Universities of Leeds and Illinois, and Columbia University in New York, studied a particular type of cryoprotectants known as osmolytes. They found that small osmolyte molecules are better at protecting proteins than larger ones.
The findings, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, could help scientists develop better storage ...
Finding is a feather in the cap for researchers studying birds' big, powerful eyes
2011-06-24
BETHESDA, Md., June 23, 2011 – Say what you will about bird brains, but our feathered friends sure have us -- and all the other animals on the planet -- beat in the vision department, and that has a bit to do with how their brains develop.
Consider the in-flight feats of birds of prey: They must spot their dinner from long distances and dive-bomb those moving targets at lightning speed. And then there are the owls, which operate nimbly on even the darkest nights to secure supper in swift swoops. Some birds have ultraviolet sensitivity; others have infrared sensitivity. ...

High technology, not low taxes, may drive states' economic growth
2011-06-24
High-tech training may trump tax breaks for creating more jobs and improving a state's economy, according to a team of economists.
"We found that lower state taxes were not statistically associated with a state's economic performance," said Stephan Goetz, professor of agricultural economics and regional economics, Penn State. "The tax climate was not linked to either growth or income distribution."
Goetz, who serves as director of the Northeast Regional Center for Rural Development, said states that favor low taxes do not necessarily spend funds efficiently. They may ...
Scientists uncover an unhealthy herds hypothesis
2011-06-24
Biologists worldwide subscribe to the healthy herds hypothesis, the idea that predators can keep packs of prey healthy by removing the weak and the sick. This reduces the chance disease will wipe out the whole herd, but could it be that predators can also make prey populations more susceptible to other predators or even parasites? Biologists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have discovered at least one animal whose defenses against a predator make it a good target for one opportunistic parasite. The research appears online in the journal Functional Ecology.
"We ...
Qld fruit fly scientists in race against time
2011-06-24
Parts of Australia's fruit and vegetable industry are under threat, with Queensland University of Technology (QUT) scientists racing to find new ways to control a major horticultural pest before chemical treatments are restricted.
Associate Professor Anthony Clarke, from QUT's Faculty of Science and Technology in Brisbane, is leading Australia's largest team of university researchers examining non-chemical based ways to fight fruit flies, including promising "lure and kill" techniques using ginger essence.
Professor Clarke, lead author of the largest ever review of ...
Cassini samples the icy spray of Enceladus water plumes
2011-06-24
The NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini-Huygens mission has directly sampled the water plumes jetting into space from Saturn's moon Enceladus. The findings from these fly-throughs are the strongest evidence yet for the existence of large-scale saltwater reservoirs beneath the moon's icy crust.
Enceladus' water plumes shoot water vapour and tiny grains of ice into space. They originate from the 'tiger stripe' surface fractures at the moon's south pole, and create the faint E-ring, which traces the orbit of Enceladus around Saturn.
The Cassini spacecraft discovered the plumes in 2005 ...
