New York City, NY, 05/18/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Hang gliders are a popular site in tourist destinations around the world—especially areas with an abundance of natural beauty and stunning scenery. From the Caribbean to the Big Apple, the winged craft give people a bird’s eye view of the world below. In many cases, hang gliding companies offer rides in traditional hang gliders, as well as hang gliders pulled by boats on the water.

But just how safe is hang gliding as an activity? More importantly, is the industry subject to government regulations that enforce minimum requirements for equipment, instructor certification, and safety? The answer might surprise you.

If you have been injured in a hang gliding incident at home or on vacation, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and other damages. Protect your legal rights by speaking to an  aviation accident lawyer as soon as possible.

Regulation of the Hang Gliding Industry

In the United States, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has oversight of the hang gliding industry. The regulations that pertain to hang gliding are found in Federal Aviation Regulation part 103—Ultralight Vehicles. Part 103 gives the U.S. Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association (USHPA) the authority to set standards for pilots and equipment. The USHPA also offers training programs for pilots and passengers who wish to fly tandem with a hang glider pilot.

However, these standards only apply to hang gliding tour companies located in the U.S. When you travel overseas, it’s important to understand that other countries have their own rules for hang gliding companies—and some countries may have minimal rules or a complete absence of regulation.

Even in the U.S., there have been tragic accidents involving hang gliding companies and pilots that lacked proper certification. In a 2015 crash in Nevada, a hang glider pilot and his 11-year-old tandem passenger were killed when their hang glider crashed over a dry lake bed south of Las Vegas. An investigation revealed that the pilot was not licensed to fly a hang glider, nor did the hang gliding company have a permit to operate in the area.

If you choose to hang glide, make sure you thoroughly investigate the company offering the tour. Don’t be afraid to ask to see verification of the company’s credentials or those of its pilots. Your safety is a priority, and any reputable company should be willing to confirm that it possesses the proper permits and certifications.

New York City Aviation Accident Law Firm

Because hang gliders are not motorized aircraft, they are not heavily regulated by the FAA. In a crash, the FAA plays a minimal role, especially in cases where the hang glider is pulled by a vehicle. These can be complicated cases that involve multiple investigatory authorities. Protect your rights by working with an experienced aviation accident lawyer.

Traffic jams can slow us down, upset our schedules and force us to be late for appointments. As annoying and time wasting as they are, traffic jams can also be the scenes of serious accidents, not only because they’re caused by accidents, but because the backups themselves may lead to accidents. Boca car accident lawyer Joe Osborne says drivers not paying attention often lead to secondary accidents in traffic jams.

According to Nationwide Insurance,

There are four million miles of public roadways in the US, enough to circle the Earth about 160 times.

US drivers collectively drive about three trillion miles each year.

Traffic jams lead to the waste of about 1.9 billion gallons of gas each year, cost each US driver about $713 annually and the average urban commuter spends 34 hours a year stuck in traffic congestion.

The top causes of traffic jams are:

Bottlenecks – 40%,

Traffic accidents – 25%,

Bad weather – 15%,

Work zones – 10%,

Poor traffic signaling/timing – 5%, and

Special events – 5%.

From 1980 to 1999, the number of highway miles increased by 1.5% while the number of miles traveled by drivers increased by 76% according to The Hartford insurance company. Because of this imbalance there are more traffic jams and more car accidents. This isn’t just a problem for major cities. The Federal Highway Administration reports that traffic delays are becoming more common in small cities and some rural areas as well.

The Brookings Institute doesn’t see traffic congestion as a problem, but the solution to our basic mobility problem: too many people want to move at the same times each day. The efficient operation of our economy and school systems require that people work, go to school and run errands at about the same time so they can interact with each other. That can’t be changed without crippling our economy and society. The same problem exists all over the world.

Because of Florida’s rapid growth over the years, highways and roads have been built and expanded. But they don’t keep up with the demand and better, less congested roads and highways encourage more growth and development, resulting in more drivers getting behind the wheel and clogging Florida’s streets and freeways.

These traffic jams are more than a waste of time, they are potential threats to your health. A 24-year-old St. Augustine woman was killed last month in St. Johns when her car was crushed between two tractor-trailer trucks, reports the St. Augustine Record. She was driving south on I-95 when traffic started slowing ahead of her but the commercial truck behind her failed to slow down, rear ending her car. The truck then pushed her car into the back of another truck in front of her.

You can discuss your case, how the law may apply and your best legal options to protect your rights and obtain compensation for your injuries.

Philadelphia, PA, USA, 05/18/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

As the weather warms up, more and more people will be out and about. To some, this means travel plans, and to others, it means short weekend get-a-ways to escape the daily grind. To pet owners, the spring thaw means finding a pet sitter to stay with their four-legged companions while they travel.

Sadly, during the travel season, pet sitters are often the victims of bites of the very dogs they are caring for. In fact, dog bite claims accounted for over 1/3 of homeowners’ insurance claims last year. The cost to cover those claims exceeded $6 million.

Most often, owners hire pet sitters because they think their dogs are friendly. They have no history of biting. But, the stress of owners not coming home while they are on vacation can cause pets to act out of character. This is often what leads to pet sitters getting bit.

According to the Pennsylvania dog bite law, dog bites from dogs who have never bitten before fall into two categories. The first is a severe bite. In severe bite cases, lacerations and/or broken bones occur because of the bite.  

Attorney Joel Kofsky, a Philadelphia accident attorney, explains the difference between severe injuries and injuries that are not considered serious. “According to the law, if you are ‘severely’ injured, you are entitled to compensation for all of your expenses. If you are not severely injured, you are only entitled to compensation for medical expenses.”

It’s wise for anyone who wishes to dog sit to learn about dog language. There are subtle ways that dogs communicate their anxiety to people. When pet sitters are aware of these cues, it can keep them safe.

Urinating in house

Barking or howling

Constant tongue flicks

Excessive yawning

Chewing

Digging

Pacing

Salivating

Pet sitters who understand these signs of anxiety can quickly head off an accident or stress bite before it occurs.

Despite prevention strategies, dog bites still occur. If you are a pet sitter who has been bitten by a dog, it’s important to understand Pennsylvania’s dog bite laws. When you know the laws, you can better prepare yourself for what may follow any pet bite accident.  

The most important thing to remember about any dog bite is that you need to seek legal assistance immediately following the incident. By reaching out to an attorney, you will be forcing the owner to at the very least register the dog and exercise caution for the remainder of the dog’s life.

Safety app developer Zendrive recently published a comprehensive study that examined distracted driving behaviors among Americans — and the results are sobering. The study spanned three months and analyzed the driving behaviors of 3 million motorists over 570 million trips and 5.6 billion miles reports Rand Spear, Philadelphia car accident lawyer.

What the Study Says about Distracted Driving (Hint: It’s Not Good)

It’s no secret that distracted driving is a big problem. But just how big of a problem is it? The Zendrive study results reveal that driver distractions are serious business indeed.

Here are some key takeaways:

Motorists use their mobile phones during 88 out of 100 trips.
When drivers use their phones behind the wheel, they stay on them for 3.5 minutes per hour of driving.

Although 3.5 minutes may not sound like a long time, consider that it takes a car traveling 55 miles per hour just two seconds to travel the length of two basketball courts.

This means that drivers who use their phones increase their chances of being involved in an accident by over 20 times. This translates to 105 potential collisions every single hour.

How Do PA and NJ Compare to Other States?

The study also ranked which states are the most distracted and which have the lowest numbers of distracted drivers.

Pennsylvania is near the middle of the pack. The Keystone State ranks #33 for driver distractions, with 50 being the highest. New Jersey fared much worse, ranking #45 out of 50 for the state with the most distracted drivers. Oregon takes top honors as the state with the least number of distracted motorists. It’s worth noting that Oregon is one of 16 states that ban all handheld devices behind the wheel.

Philadelphia car accident lawyer Rand Spear explains, “No phone call or text is worth your life. Any time you’re behind the wheel, it’s best to stay off your phone. If you must make a call, find a safe spot to pull over. Distracted driving is one of the top causes of car accidents. If you’re going to drive, your email and your phone calls can wait.”

Car accidents are unpredictable by nature. When you’re involved in one, you may not know where to turn. It’s an overwhelming experience. However, you shouldn’t wait to speak to an attorney. Don’t compromise your rights by waiting too long. Discuss the next steps in your case with Philadelphia and New Jersey personal injury lawyer Rand Spear today at 888-373-4LAW.

Just days after the 2017 New Year, a serious train crash injured at least 100 passengers in Brooklyn.

According to a Chicago Tribune report, the accident, which involved the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), occurred at 8:30 a.m. during the morning commute when the front of a “slow-moving train hit a bumping block as it pulled into Atlantic Terminal… left the tracks and smashed into a small structure.” The train was carrying around 450 passengers at the time of the accident.

Authorities have stated that a rail pierced the floor of a train car, “hurling passengers onto the floor and slamming them into each other.” The terminal, which is next to the Barclays Center, is located beneath a shopping mall.   

The report goes on to state that some passengers were removed from the scene on stretchers, while others looked stunned as they were helped to the pavement outside the terminal. Many passengers had visible injuries involving limps and bleeding lacerations. One passenger said “people just went flying” when the train crashed.

Witnesses Say Terminal Structure Shook on Impact

One witness told the Tribune that “the entire structure started shaking” at the time of the collision, making him fear a bomb had exploded.

Fortunately, no one was killed in the accident, however, the crash comes just months after a deadly rail crash in Hoboken, New Jersey, which also involved a commuter train. The news report notes that the Hoboken train accident also involved a train colliding with and going over bumping posts and that federal investigators are investigating whether a more modern bumper could have prevented the crash. More than 100 people were injured and one person was killed in the Hoboken crash, which occurred on September 29, 2016.

LIRR and Hoboken Crash Investigations May Be Combined

According to a February 21 Newsday report, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has stated that it is considering combining the investigations of the LIRR crash and the September Hoboken crash to “address the need to prevent slow-speed train accidents at rail terminals.”

NTSB officials stated in the story that the LIRR train was traveling 10 miles per hour at the time of the accident, which was five miles per hour faster than the posted speed limit.     

NYC Train Accident Lawyer Discusses Slow-Speed Crashes

New York City accident lawyer Jonathan C. Reiter states, “As the LIRR crash and the Hoboken, New Jersey crash show, even slow-speed train accidents can result in fatalities and serious injuries.”  

If you have been injured in a train accident, or you have lost a loved one in a train crash or derailment, it’s important to protect your rights by speaking to an experienced New York train accident lawyer as soon as possible.

New York City, NY, 05/17/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Recently, the NYC Department of Buildings released a report stating that a deadly crane collapse in February 2016 was caused by human error. The massive 565-foot crane crashed into the street, killing one man, injuring three pedestrians, and crushing several cars. The carnage extended over two city blocks. Emergency responders stated they were shocked that the accident didn’t cause more deaths or injuries.

The Department of Buildings report states that the crane’s operator failed to secure the crane the night before during high winds, then lowered the boom at an incorrect angle — both of which caused the crane to become unstable. As a result, the operator’s license was suspended.

Tragedy Brought New Regulations

After the accident, the Department of Buildings announced tougher regulations for crane operations, including mandatory prohibition of any crane operation when winds are greater than 30 miles per hour.

Additionally, the new regulations require a licensed engineer to be present for any operation of a crawler crane rated for less than 30 mph winds.

The regulations also raise the fine for crane safety violations from $4,800 to $10,000.

The new regulations have been challenged in a lawsuit filed by several construction groups. The groups say the mandatory shut-down provision requiring cranes to stop operating once winds reach 30 miles per hour is not based on any scientific research. The lawsuit also challenges the requirement of a lift director being present on any site where a crane is being operated.

Construction Worker Deaths in Crane Accident

Sadly, there have been other deadly crane accidents in New York City, including a catastrophic accident that took the lives of two construction workers in November 2016. The workers were killed with a beam they were lifting when a crane caught on part of a building, causing the cable holding the beam to snap and crash into the crane.   

New York City construction accident lawyer Jonathan C. Reiter explains, “As one of the biggest cities in the world, New York City is always under construction. There are construction crews in many spots around the city, and they use heavy, dangerous equipment. The margin of error for this equipment is incredibly small — just one mistake can cost a person their life. Safety regulations are put in place to make sure pedestrians and others are protected from avoidable accidents.”

Boca Raton, FL, USA, 05/17/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

If there’s something wrong with your vehicle and you feel it’s about to fail or become unsafe, you should pull over but find the best spot you possibly can. It’s better to damage your car by continuing to drive than stop in a dangerous spot and risk your life. Boca car accident lawyer Joe Osborne says getting to the side of the road may prevent one problem but cause another if you’re not extremely careful.

Anyone on the side of a highway is a potential victim. Sometimes it’s the “good Samaritan” trying to help a stranger who suffers. The Dallas Morning News reports in March Julia Zeman witnessed a vehicle crash in Frisco, Texas, and was struck and killed by another vehicle after pulling over to the side of the road and getting out of her car to help.

A Utah Highway Patrol Officer was seriously injured after pulling a car over in the left breakdown lane of an interstate, according to KSL. He was out of his patrol car when a driver, asleep at the wheel in an SUV with three children inside, crossed several lanes and slammed into the back of his car. It hit the car that was pulled over which lurched forward and struck the trooper.

Two drivers were seriously injured late last month in Hillsborough County in a three-car crash that started after a truck towing a boat pulled over on southbound I-75, according to the Tampa Bay Reporter. The truck and trailer were not in a safe place as they partially blocked the travel lane. The driver thought there was something wrong with the boat, pulled over, and started inspecting the trailer when a vehicle hit him and the trailer. That vehicle spun out of control and was later struck by a tractor-trailer.

Automotive Fleet has these suggestions if you have to pull over on a highway.

Get as far out of traffic as possible. Even if you’ve turned on your emergency flashers a driver may not pay attention and rear-end your vehicle.

Don’t try to repair your vehicle, even if you think it may be quick or easy to fix. Wait for professional help to arrive.

Exit your vehicle if it’s necessary or safe to do so. If possible raise the hood to alert others passing by that your vehicle is disabled and help is needed.

Patience is a virtue when you break down, particularly if you’re in a heavily trafficked metropolitan area. Highways are regularly patrolled by police and tow truck operators so help should arrive soon.

In these situations you need to be more concerned about your health and safety than whatever repairs are needed for your vehicle.

If you or a loved one suffered an injury due to a vehicle accident after you pulled your car off the street or highway, contact Boca car accident lawyer Joe Osborne at (561) 800-4011 or fill out this online contact form. You can discuss your case, how the law may apply and your best legal options to protect your rights and obtain compensation for your injuries.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, 05/17/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

There were close to 7,000 accidents that involved tractor trailers in Pennsylvania in 2015. Despite the preventative measures taken by Penn DOT to display warning signs alongside Pennsylvania’s busy highways, auto accidents still occur.   

When it comes to transporting goods across the state, truck drivers are charged with the task of following protocols to secure loads and prevent accidents. But, often times unsecured loads or truck malfunctions lead to injury and death of innocent travelers.

In fact, Pennsylvania is home to many dangerous commercial vehicle companies. These trucking companies were responsible for 27 fatalities in 2015. FedEx Ground Package Systems was responsible for five deaths between 2015-2017, and Septa was responsible for the loss of four lives and 478 injuries during that same two-year stretch.

What this means to Pennsylvania drivers is that it’s time to learn how to share the road with these commercial vehicles.  

Attorney Joel Kofsky, a Philadelphia accident attorney, has dealt with many families who have been involved in accidents with trucks. He cautions drivers, “Truck drivers are crucial to our economy, and we need them to transport goods across the state. If you can learn how to share the road with these commercial vehicles properly, you will be much safer driving on Pennsylvania’s highways.”

A few ways that drivers can exercise caution when traveling near tractor trailers is to follow the “No Zone” advice of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance.

The first “No Zone” is in front of a tractor trailer. Their hoods are big and long which creates a blind spot that makes it hard to see smaller cars.
The second “No Zone” is on the driver’s side of tractor trailers. Drivers should avoid the area from the middle of the cab to the middle of the trailer to stay out of a tractor trailer’s blind spot.
The third “No Zone” is the entire passenger side of a large tractor trailer. These vehicles make wide turns that can take more than one lane. It’s wise to stay out of this area so that you are not pushed off the road.
The final “No Zone” is behind a tractor trailer.  A good rule to follow to ensure you are far enough behind the truck is to make sure you can see both mirrors on the cab.

Accidents that involve commercial vehicles can become complicated to sort out because big companies have big legal teams. For this reason, if you are involved in a truck accident, be sure to seek legal help to ensure you get all the help you need to recover.
