By: The Law Offices of Richard A. Stoloff A summer drive in New Jersey can change fast. One minute, you are heading toward the Atlantic City Boardwalk, leaving a rental in Ocean City, or sitting in shore traffic near the Garden State Parkway. The next, a tourist driver misses a turn, stops suddenly, drifts across a lane, or crashes into your vehicle because they do not know the road. So, can a tourist driver cause...

That lost hour from daylight saving time may seem minor, but for many drivers it has a real impact on alertness behind the wheel. Unfortunately, that extra fatigue does not just affect how people feel at work. It can also make driving more dangerous. Studies...

You stepped into the dining room for what should have been a pleasant evening, but the dim lighting turned a simple walk to your table into a painful accident. One second you were following the host, and the next, you were on the ground because of a spill or a trip hazard you never had a chance to see.
