If you were to ask the average New Jersey driver when the most dangerous days on the road are, they would probably give you an answer that involves the winter months. After all, anyone who has lived through even a single New Jersey winter understands that blustery weather and slippery road conditions can spell disaster for drivers.
Surprisingly, summer driving leads to increased fatalities
What is a dooring accident?
As a bicyclist in New Jersey, you already know you face numerous dangers when riding your bike. Whether you ride in congested areas or prefer to take your bike out in the country, an accident with a motor vehicle can be devastating. Being doored is just one of the many hazards that can unexpectedly come your way when you are on your bicycle.
Protecting children by teaching them how to behave around dogs
For many children in New Jersey, sighting a dog is something to be excited about. Often, a child's reaction to noticing a four-legged friend may be to immediately run up to the pet and attempt to pet it. However, parents and guardians should be encouraging their children to be cautious when approaching an unknown animal and to ask for permission before they try to pet the animal.
April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month
Like many drivers in New Jersey and elsewhere, you may understand how easy it can be to get distracted while behind the wheel. A distraction you did not intend can come out of nowhere, such as a serious accident that is all too tempting to stare at as you go by. At the law office of Lieberman, Ryan & Forrest, L.L.C., we also understand the prevalence of driving distractions, as well as how dangerous they can be for you and others.
