by AdminApril 30th, 2022
As we close out National Distracted Driving Awareness Month we wanted to take one last opportunity to remind you of all the distractions that could potentially affect your ability to avoid a New Haven auto accident injury. We will take other opportunities throughout the year to continually remind you of these distractions that can cause serious injuries or worse, but we wanted to make sure there was one place you could go to have a full list and bookmark it so you could review it from time to time. Distractions are not often highlighted when you’re taking a test to get your license or when you’re learning how to drive from a family member or friend, so it is important that you brush up on these distractions from time to time. We recommend no distractions at all when behind the wheel because your number one focus should be on the Read the full article…
Tesla Adds Many More Vehicles To “Boombox” Recall
by AdminApril 28th, 2022
You may have noticed that the founder of Tesla, Elon Musk, has been in the news this week for his takeover of the popular social network Twitter. It’s an eye popping $44 billion takeover that might have taken your eyes away from another Musk centered news story that could have significantly greater impact on your day to day life. Elon Musk’s Tesla brand autos had to recall a large number of vehicles due to safety concerns with their new “Boombox” feature which has the potential to lead to more New Haven pedestrian accidents. In 2018 regulators began requiring that makers of hybrid and electric vehicles must include the functionality for their vehicles to play sounds that will alert pedestrians of it’s presence on the road at low speeds. Presumably this was done to protect pedestrians who may not be able to hear hybrid or electric vehicles coming due to their Read the full article…

You may read a lot of information about how ice and snow on sidewalks and walkways can lead to serious injury and in some cases fatal injuries. This is all very true, but it is important to note that this is not where the danger ends. When the temperatures rise into the 40s and 50s the danger for a New Haven slip and fall accident does not just disappear. In fact, in some cases the danger for this type of injury can increase because we are not on the lookout for these types of dangers as much as we would be if there was snow or ice on the ground. Take for instance a trip up a set of stairs. In the winter months you may find yourself taking one step at a time Read the full article…
