The woman was driving while under the influence of alcohol when she hit a car carrying five people and the driver. The 60-year old was driving the vehicle and was wearing a seatbelt. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene. The passengers were taken and released from the hospital with a variety of injuries. The woman who caused the accident was flown to a nearby hospital with serious injuries.

The woman, driving a Chevrolet truck crossed the center lane on the highway and hit the other woman’s Ford SUV. Police later discovered that the woman had been drinking. According to a New York Injury Lawyer, she now faces a felony charge for driving under the influence and causing a death and two other felony charges for driving under the influence and causing great bodily injury. Depending on how the trial goes, the woman faces multiple years in jail, fines and other penalties.

Currently, the woman is being held in a local detention center until her trial. After that, she may be sent to a state women’s detention center, suggests a New York Injury Lawyer. The accident happened on August 1, 2009 around 9:30pm on S.C. 917 North. It is unknown where the woman was going at the time of the accident. After being released from the hospital, the woman left South Carolina and was later arrested in Florida.

The plane carrying First Lady Michelle Obama and the vice president’s wife, Jill Biden, was forced to abort its landing when air traffic controllers allowed it to come too close to a military cargo plane. An investigation is currently underway to determine why the controllers allowed this to happen.

The two ladies of the Oval Office were returning from making several appearances throughout New York when their plane, given the moniker Executive One Foxtrot, flew to within three miles of a military cargo plane. The usual and necessary separation is five miles which is required because of the turbulence that is generated by large planes like the military C-17. Two miniature, horizontal tornadoes stream off the aircraft and will seriously disrupt planes caught in their wake. Had Executive One Foxtrot been a smaller plane, it would have easily been upset.

Obama’s plane was ordered to do standard S-turns to create an appropriate distance. Even after generating more distance between the two, the plane was still told to abort the landing and circle the airport. This was done merely as a precautionary maneuver to give the C-17 adequate time to clear the runway. The eventual landing was safely executed at Joint Base Andrews.

A man accused of murdering a Yale doctor in cold blood at point blank range still blames a Brooklyn hospital for his actions. The accused, a former physician at the hospital, claims that he had gone to superiors at the hospital months before he broke down and shot the man, trying to resolve disputes before they got out of control. 

A NY City Injury Lawyer reports that the accused killer claims that he was harassed by the Yale doctor, stating that the man threatened to stab him in the eye with a ball point pen at one point. The hospital eventually fired the man accused of the murder of the Yale doctor, which the man claims destroyed his career, wrecked his son’s education and sent the man spiraling down into depression and mental instability. 

Now, the man is charged with the brutal killing, which occurred in front of the victims wife and three year old son. Even so, he is prepared to take his fight with the hospital to court, provided that he is found competent enough to stand trial. There was no comment from officials at the Brooklyn hospital where the two physicians worked. 

Interestingly enough, reports the New York Injury Lawyer, the man accused of murdering the Yale doctor is attempting to file a civil suit against the hospital, however the civil lawyer that was assigned to the case no longer wishes to represent the accused in the case. The man accused of the killing said that he plans to represent himself in the case, but a judge has decided that until such time as the accused is found competent to do such a thing, the criminal case against him will take precedence over any civil case that may arise.

Watching television seems like a relatively safe way to pass the time but even that can have its unexpected consequences. One minute you are laughing at a one liner and the next minute you could be hit with flying debris from the car that just crashed into your living room. Such was the case when a Boston woman who had been drinking allegedly smashed her car into the side of a neighborhood home. 

The woman behind the wheel of the vehicle, explained the Manhattan Injury Lawyer, had apparently exceeded the legal limit for alcohol in her bloodstream and was seen by witnesses before the crash as driving erratically. Apparently she lost control of her car, popped the curb and careened her Lincoln sedan straight through the wall of a residence, causing shock, surprise and a few minor injuries to the resident who happened to be sitting there. 

Reports obtained by the New York Injury Lawyer said that the driver of the vehicle was taken to the hospital for non-life threatening injuries and released shortly thereafter, and she has now been charged with DWI, operating a motor vehicle to endanger and violation of marked lanes. 

The injuries could have been much worse resulting in hospitalization and even death. In this instance, both the driver of the vehicle and the resident of the home that was trashed were both very lucky that no one was seriously hurt.

A 67-year old woman and former school principal, who was severely injured while shopping for homes, recently lost her fight with a jury to receive $3 million in a lawsuit against a homeowner and a realtor, reports a N York Injury Lawyer.

While the senior citizen was touring a home she fell through an attic of a ranch-style home down to the hard, kitchen floor breaking her pelvis, losing consciousness, cracking her rib, injuring her knee and fracturing parts of the vertebrae in her back.

She said that she sued because she was unable to walk for three months, lost her job for missing too much work, and incurred very high medical bills all because of the fall. She claims that the house was not properly inspected for potential buyers and was dangerous to walk through.

Last December, a 30 year old man was killed when his vehicle, a Saturn coupe, was struck by a police patrol car en route to a call of shots fired in the vicinity. The man was not wearing a seat belt and was pronounced dead at the hospital after the accident, says a N York Injury Lawyer. 

According to reports, the police car was traveling without lights and sirens in a speed zone of 40 mph. The patrol car is said to have been exceeding the speed limit in order to make it to the call and was following procedure. The family of the man who dies filed a negligence claim. 

Reports obtained by the New York City Injury Lawyer state that the family of the deceased man has agreed to the $300,000 settlement and the city is willing to pay it even though they insist that paying the fine is not the same as assuming liability for the accident. The reasoning is that the time and expense involved in fighting the case would be more expensive overall than the settlement that was reached. 

The officer that was driving the patrol car that struck the Saturn and killed the man is still on active duty in Wichita, though he is no longer patrolling the streets at this time. He is scheduled to go on trial sometime in January for vehicular manslaughter, which would be a misdemeanor charge.

Most states have adopted .08 as the point at which blood alcohol content is considered illegal if you are driving. Anything in excess of .08% is considered highly dangerous and is grounds for a DWI or an arrest. Someone should have told one Florida man about this legal limit before he got behind the wheel and was pulled over, blowing a whopping .25 on his breathalyzer test after he hit a bicyclist and another car with his vehicle. 

According to reports obtained by the NYC Injury Lawyer, the man hit the bumper of a car while driving and did not stop. The driver of the car followed the man and called police. When police arrived, the man, who was obviously inebriated, admitted to drinking two pitchers of beer, a six pack and several shots before getting behind the wheel. He also admitted that he thought he might have hit someone on a bicycle but he wasn’t sure, since he was drunk. 

The New York Injury Lawyer cited that indeed someone did call the police saying that they had been struck by a moving vehicle while they were on a bicycle, but that person refused to press charges, citing that they were drunk and tired themselves and did not think that it was worth pursuing, since no injuries were sustained in the hit and run. 

The driver of the vehicle was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, but so far no other action has been taken and no other charges have been filed against him. Luckily, everyone involved in this incident walked away without injury.

A 36-year old man allegedly crashed into a police car while pulling out of a local bar, according to NY City Injury Lawyers.

The man allegedly pulled out of the bar parking lot and crashed hard enough into the 23-year-old police officer’s car that both cars spun out of control and into the opposite side of the street.

Neither man was injured in the crash but both were taken to the hospital for brief observation, explained New York Injury Lawyers.
