Snow and Overpasses Are a Bad Combination
The winter in New Jersey is always a bummer in New Jersey, except for those first few fleeting moments when the snow is so fresh that it has not yet realized where it landed, before it takes on the grayish hue that characterizes the Garbage State for most of the year. This winter has… Read More »
Car Accidents in Whiteout Conditions
Everyone who went to driver’s ed in New Jersey knows the litany of admonitions about driving safely during or after a snowfall. Don’t drive unless you really need to. Clean your car thoroughly before you start driving, so that snow sliding down your front or back windshield does not distract you or obscure your… Read More »
Unfair Police Reports About Car Accidents
Police reports seem boring, but if you read them thoughtfully enough, they are as full of detail as a police procedural drama or action movie.

A Car With a Built In Breathalyzer?
Some of the safety features in cars today would have seemed futuristic ten years ago.

Wrong Way Collision Outside Hospital Parking Lot
The campuses of hospitals are endlessly confusing. Nurses and lab technicians who have worked at the hospital for decades might tell a new coworker about a shortcut, or a secluded spot in which to scroll through one’s phone on one’s lunch break, that they only discovered recently. Doctors who make rounds at several hospitals… Read More »
Autonomous Vehicle Technology and Liability for Car Accidents
Decades ago, pop culture used to envision a future where unoccupied cars ferried groceries and other products to their destination, or where vehicle owners lounged in the backseat while robot chauffeurs drove the car. Today, autonomous vehicle technology is everywhere. Most cars on the road today have some autonomous vehicle features, and even if… Read More »
New Jersey Drivers Are the Second Safest in the Nation
At first glance, New Jersey seems like a perfect storm for dangerous driving.
