4) In the evening is the most dangerous time for anyone to drive let alone young inexperienced drivers. If you are going to suffer a serious injury in New York as a result of a car accident the liklihood is that the accident will occur at night. Most people in New York suffer the most serious of injury because people fall asleep at the wheel drunk driving and people vision and distance perception is not as good. So don't let an inexperienced driver out past sunset, expecially in New York City. Treat nightime driving as if your child has to pass another road test. Keep everyone safe and free from injury

5) Gradually allow your teen greater freedom on the road. Local uncrowded streets are a better forum to learn on than the crowded New York City streets or the highways. This way you can keep everyone safe and injury free, out of both a lawyer and doctor's offices.

6) Inform your child that the courts and lawyers have decided the issue, that driving in New York State is a privilege not a right. Driver's licenses can be taken away and that there are consequences that can involve injury and even jail if they act reckless behind the wheel in New York.

Be sure they are aware of their responsiblities as drivers and if they don't respect that they could wind up losing the keys or worse. Explain to them the drinking and driving laws and that is a sure way to be either injured and/or arrested and then need to hire a lawyer just to get their freedom back.

7) Finally, make your child contribute someting to the car insurance.Let them understand that there is cost for it and it will go up if they are not careful. Let them know if there is an accident or an injury or a cost for lawyers they are going to have to pay for it. Some companies give discounts to teens with good grades and are on the honor roll. Some insurance companies give discounts if you complete a safe driving course.If there is a discount given, reimburse your child so they can learn both the value of money and being successful bears fruit.

This New York Injury Lawyer is telling you from experience make sure your kids are before you put them on the road.

New York Giant Mathias Kiwanuka barely avoided a catastrophic injury as a result or a cheap shot by Chriss Samuels, reports this New York Injury Lawyer. On one of the Washington Redskins last offensive plays of the game, the New York Giants defensive end Kiwannuka, was clearly the victim of an illegal cut. Skins offensive tackle Chris Samuels was beat with a speed rush by the NewYork end, which resulted in, the Kiwanuka having a clean shot at Redskins Quarterback Jason Campbell.

In order to protect his quarterback and quite possibley his ego, Samuels dove at the back of the New York's defensive end's legs, rolling up on his ankle. Kiwanuka went down and it appeared he had suffered a serious injury. The New York end had suffered a season ending injury last year when he fractured his leg and had a serious ankle sprain. This clearly was intentional and this New York injury lawyer believes that in these circumstances of the attempt by the Washington tackle should result in a lawsuit if serious injury ensues as a reult of this kind of cheap behavior. This type of behavior can't be condoned. Just because Samuel was penalized doesn't mean he shouldn't be responsible for his actions.

Punitive damages should be considered in a cases like these if the injury turns out to be serious. In this instant the injury appeared to be serious but upon later examination the New York defensive end said she should be fine and the injury was minor.

A jury recently came back with a verdict against Wal Mart in the amount of a $4 million It was awarded to a female plaintiff who suffered a life altering injury, after a manufacturer's defect in her tire's tread pulled apart. The damaged to the tire made her car crash while she was behind the wheel. As a result of the accident she suffered an injury paralyzing her.

There was a recall on defective tire in 02, but Wal Mart, which had serviced the vehicle numerous times over the years after the 2002 recall, failed either to check for the recall or to notify her. Therefore, the woman never knew about this potential hazard. Wal Mart claims that unless tires are bought from them, they do not check nor notify customers of recalls. Furthermore, their lawyers argued that the mechanics and repairman did not have the training to inspect tires. Obviously, the jury didn't believe this false representation and decided that Wal Mart had both a duty and responsibility to look at the tires and let her know about the condition of the tires.That is why the verdict came down in her favor. Her lawyer's argument that the Fortune 500 corporation was responsibile only to inspect the car and did not include inspecting tires and looking up recalls. was not believed.

A New York injury lawyer believes that Walmart should not only be found guilty but there should have been additional damages awarded to the plaintiff. There should have been punitive damges to stop Walmart from taking the easy way. They serviced this car 9 times and they are saying they had no responsility to look at the tires. That's rediculous. If this case was in New York and a New York injury Attorney was trying this Wal Mart very well may have had to pay punitive damages well in excess of the $4 million.
