Memorial Day weekend: a fun-filled weekend, but also the most deadly of driving holidays

Memorial Day weekend 2017 is here! This coming weekend marks so many good things to all of us Americans – the unofficial beginning to summer, the end of the school year, and the fun and great food of backyard and beach BBQ’s with family and friends. In addition, it is a time to honor those men and women who sacrificed their lives serving in the U.S. military to preserve the freedoms we enjoy in this country today.

 

Unfortunately, this weekend also holds one very dubious title: it is the most dangerous driving weekend of the year. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) More people are killed in motor vehicle accidents over the 3-day Memorial weekend here in Florida and around the United States, on average, than any other 3-day period on the calendar. That includes the 4^th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s weekends.

At Slinkman, Slinkman & Wynne, P.A. we value the health and well-being of all of you – our neighbors, friends and family here in Jupiter, Florida, and every town and city throughout this great country of ours. Starting today, be willing to go that extra step that may save your own life, or the lives of people you love.

 

Do not get behind the wheel of an automobile while impaired. In addition, if you are driving, put down your cell phone. If current trends continue, texting and other distracted driving will soon catch and may well surpass drunk driving as the leading single cause of automobile accidents causing serious injury and wrongful death in the United States. If you are one of the guilty parties who do it – Stop It. Stop it Now! If not for yourself, then do it for all those other lives you could have a devastating effect on if you cause an accident.

 

In addition, if you see someone who is impaired and about to start driving a vehicle – whether it be an automobile, a truck, a boat or a motorcycle – stop them. If you are sober, offer to drive them home, or at least call them a cab or an Uber. You may be saving their lives, and the lives of others on the road. At the very least you could be saving them from the pain, stress and significant expense of a DUI.

 

Stay safe this Memorial Day weekend – we want to see all of you healthy and happy next week, and far into the future!

Slinkman, Slinkman & Wynne, P.A. school driving safety tips, part 2 – dropping off children at school

At Slinkman, Slinkman & Wynne, P.A. we believe that if we help one person avoid a potentially dangerous situation that leads to an injury or their death. That is why we dedicate many of our blog posts and articles to sharing information that helps you and your loved ones to be safe and hopefully stay healthy. In the next several blog posts we offer “back to school driving safety tips”. Important tips to help you share the road safely with other cars, pedestrians, school buses and bicyclists.

In this post we offer tips on do’s and don’ts of what to do if you are dropping off children at school here in Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach or anywhere else in a community where schools and/or children reside.

When you are dropping off children at school:

• Carpool wherever possible
  • Carpooling reduces congestion and helps reduce pollution.
• Do not drop your children off across the street from the school
  • Yes, it takes a few extra minutes to get in line and drop off in front of the school. It also saves your children from crossing a very busy, potentially dangerous street.
• Do not double park
  • This raises congestion and causes potentially dangerous blind spots. It also raises everyone’s frustration level, just like the next point.
• Do not cut the line
  • Every car in front of you is waiting to pick up their child just like you. The more respectful everyone is, the quicker each person moves through, picks up their child/children, and completes the process.
• Try to stay off your mobile devices, if possible.
  • Particularly if you are moving. Children can be unpredictable, and one can come jumping out from the sidewalk or from behind a vehicle in a split second without notice. If you are distracted, if even for a moment, it can change that other person’s life, forever. And, your own.

We acknowledge using and sharing this important information with you from the National Safety Council. To read their entire article dedicated to back to school safety, please go to: http://www.nsc.org/learn/safety-knowledge/Pages/back-to-school-safety-tips-for-drivers.aspx

Should you bring a lawsuit against the creators of “Pokemon GO” if you get hurt playing? You probably will lose – here’s why

Terms of Service Conditions Rule Policy Regulation Concept

There seems to be a new story almost daily of someone getting in a car accident or injured in some way while playing the new game Pokemon GO on their phone. The game causes people to get distracted, resulting in falls, car accidents (yes, people are playing while driving) and even muggings. But what if you are hurt while playing Pokemon GO? Can you sue the creator of the app and get a financial settlement for helping to cause your injuries?

The answer is: most likely No. Why? The answer lies within the terms of agreement that you agreed to right before you start the process of actually downloading the game app to your cellphone. Included in that rather lengthy document are terms that specifically protects the app’s creator from you suing them.

Here are the sections of the Pokemon GO “Terms of Service” that relate specifically to what you are agreeing to that limit the company’s liability in case you are injured playing the app.

1. Safe Play
   1. You play the game at your own risk. If you get hurt or hurt someone while playing, the company is not liable. An dispute you have with any other player does not involve the company, either.
2. Conduct, General Prohibitions and Niantic’s Enforcement Rights
   1. A lengthy section that describes in detail the many things you can do to break the service terms and be banned by the company.
3. Links to Third Party Websites or Resources
   1. You assume responsibility and risk from using any third party websites or resources while playing the game.
4. Termination
   1. Niantic can terminate your access to the service at any time, without notice or warning to you.
5. Disclaimer of Warranties
   1. There is no warranty of any kind.
6. Indemnity
   1. You hold Niantic and everyone else connected to the game harmless for anything that may happen to you while playing the game.
7. Limitation of Liability
   1. It is not Niantic’s fault if you lose data or money as a result of playing. At most, the company limits liability up to but not exceeding $1,000.
8. Dispute Resolution
   1. If you have issue with any of these terms you agree to an independent arbitrator to settle any dispute. You agree not to join in a class action lawsuit and you also agree to go to waive your right to have a trial by jury.

According to consumerist.com, you can opt out of the “Terms of Service” agreement by sending a message directly to Niantic within 30 days of downloading the game. Instructions on how to do so are contained within the following article: https://consumerist.com/2016/07/14/pokemon-go-strips-users-of-their-legal-rights-heres-how-to-opt-out/

But be aware of the fact that Niantic can (and probably will) terminate you from playing the game. This is a fascinating topic that brings up an important facet of the law here in Florida, and the United States. Understanding what rights you could be signing away when you agree to a “Terms of Service” contract.

Pokemon Go – a lot of fun for many, but quite dangerous for others here in Florida

California, United State, 15 July 2016 : Pokmon Go is a free-to-play location based augmented reality mobile game developed by Niantic and published by The Pokmon Company as part of the Pokmon franchise. A man driving while playing Pokemon Go indicati

Since its release 4 weeks ago, the Pokémon Go App has taken our country by storm. Downloads of the app broke records after its first week, and have continued since (according to Apple). By mid -July estimates were that the app was generating $1.6 million in revenue PER DAY, a number also sure to continue a meteoric rise. There is no doubt that Pokémon Go has been very positive (and lucrative) for everyone involved in its release.

Unfortunately, we are also seeing that there is a definitive and quickly growing downside to playing Pokémon Go. For anyone who does not already know, Pokémon Go is a free-to-play, location-based augmented reality game developed and published by Niantic for iOS and Android devices. It was initially released in selected countries, including the U.S., just last month. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Go)

Accidents, even deaths, have now been directly linked to the playing of this game. The danger is real enough that police departments across the country, including in Florida, have been issuing warning lists against playing “Pokemon Go”. The dangers include:

• Do not use the application when you are operating a motor vehicle or bicycle
  • Distracted driving already causes thousands of accidents, injuries and deaths in our country each year. Unfortunately this app is going to only add to those numbers.
• Do not trespass on private property when trying to “catch” a Pokemon
  • Or you will get arrested. Or worse
• Be aware of your surroundings when walking and do not stare down at your phone not knowing hazards around you, like roadways, drop-offs, waterways, etc.
  • Stories of people breaking their ankles, legs and arms are coming in from all over the country already.
• Use caution when sharing your location as strangers can see your location information
  • Other stories talk of people getting robbed while playing the game.
• Travel in groups in public/well lit locations
  • Another warning of common sense. You do not want to go to certain places, particularly at night. Doing so while playing on your cellphone does not make any more sense than it does to do it for any other reason

We will continue to share information and stories related to issues that arise from the growing craze that is the Pokemon Go App. At Slinkman, Slinkman & Wynne, P.A. we believe if we can help save one life, stop one accident, it will be more than worth it.

Boating and Jet skiing accidents increase in Florida in 2015

Jet skiing is one of the most popular shoreline activities to do here in Florida. Flying along across the waves can be incredibly fun and exhilarating – and also quite dangerous. The uneven, rocky shoreline in many areas, combined with our notorious rip currents (currents that flow away from shore) can cause problems for even the most experienced of jet skiers in our area.

 

This now-famous video posted on YouTube captures a jet ski crash that occurred along the Newport Beach, California coastline in June. Although this happened in California, jet ski accidents like this can and do happen here in Florida, as well.

In fact, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission,  Florida had 737 boating accidents in total in 2015, which includes jet ski and wave runner accidents. That is 103 more accidents as compared to 2014, however, there was a 25 percent decrease in fatalities. A total of 55 people lost their lives last year in boating accidents.

Car seat laws improved but need to go further in Florida to protect more of our children

Schools across the state of Florida are letting out for summer break this coming week. That means that the summer driving season is upon us, where families will be driving around the state of Florida and to much more far-flung places around the country to visit relatives, friends and the multitude of tourist attractions that this great country of ours has to offer. Now is the perfect time to remind all of you who will be traveling this summer Florida’s most up-to-date car seat and restraint laws for children.

 

The most recent changes went into effect about a year and a half ago, on January 1^st, 2015. Here is a quick refresher of the series of requirements, as stated in the 2015 Florida Statutes:

• Children through the age of 3 must be secured in a federally-approved car restraint seat.
• Children through the ages of 4 and 5 must be secured in a car seat or booster seat. Which one depends upon their size.

http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0300-0399/0316/Sections/0316.613.html

 

These additions to the state law increased requirements up through the age of 5. Before the beginning of last year, car seat requirements for children in the state of Florida only covered up through the age of 3. Although this is certainly an improvement, a number of child safety advocates continue to lobby for Florida state politicians to bring our laws in line with other states or to the standards recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics’ that children by restrained in a booster seat until they are at least 4 feet, 9 inches (57 inches) tall.

 

St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital child advocacy supervisor Bevin Maynard was quoted as saying by the Tampa Bay Times that the magic number “is not weight or age. It is height.”

 

She has had quite a bit of experience working with children and their families when a child has been seriously injured in an automobile accident. She knows that statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration state that the leading cause of death for children between the ages of 5 and 14 in the United States is improper restraint when in a traffic accident.

 

Some information for this blog post including the quote from Bevin Maynard was shared from the following article:  http://www.tbo.com/news/politics/new-florida-car-seat-law-takes-effect-jan-1-20141221/

Teens still need to be pushed to wear their seat belts in cars in Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens and everywhere else in America

Even with the additional emphasis by practically everyone – the media, automobile companies, the government (through their “Click It or Ticket” campaign) and even society in general – the percentage of teenagers who drive without wearing their seatbelts has remained largely unchanged over the last decade and a half. That according to statistics published by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

Approximately 20% do not wear their seat belt now, or 15 years ago; the percentage of male teen drivers not wearing seat belts is still about 10% higher than female teen drivers; and the percentage of teens who died in motor vehicle accidents who were not wearing their seat belt still hovers around 50%. To read more on these sobering and sad statistics, please go to the following articles:

http://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/teen_drivers/teendrivers_factsheet.html

and

http://www.gallup.com/poll/6145/teens-buckling-up.aspx

Advocates of increasing teenage driver safety point to driving programs that “Driving programs that combine education, peer-to-peer strategies, publicized enforcement, and parental monitoring may show potential for increasing teen seat belt use.” – See more at:

http://www.teendriversource.org/stats/support_teens/detail/59#sthash.0KQmDMyw.dpuf

At Slinkman, Slinkman & Wynne, P.A. we agree that driving programs that emphasize better education combined with stricter laws for those who refuse to wear seat belts could work to lower the numbers of teenager injuries and deaths in auto accidents. Ultimately, though, the greatest effect can most likely come from responsible parents, and peers who help to make wearing seat belts fashionable, and a must for all teenagers. WE applaud websites like the CDC and Teen Driver Source that are pushing every day to educate teenagers and their parents on the dangers of not wearing seat belts.

If you are injured in an auto accident because you or someone you love was not wearing a seat belt, you may have a right to bring a claim for various damages and injuries incurred. Call us at Slinkman, Slinkman & Wynne. We offer a free initial consultation, and our phone number is (561) 686-3400.

Steps you need to take if you are involved in a Slip & Fall accident

 

“Slip & Fall” accidents happen every day, particularly afflicting the elderly and others who have a hard time moving around. But it can happen to you, as well. Do you know what to do if you are a loved one gets hurt in a Slip & fall accident?

If you are involved in a slip/trip & fall accident, you should:

• Avoid making any detailed statements concerning fault. Saying the wrong thing, or just saying too much can and will be used against you in court.
• Make sure to get names of owners and managers of the property
• Write down the names of witnesses; try to get their phone numbers as well.
• If you are not incapacitated by your injuries, take good pictures of the scene and of your injuries.
• Save the footwear and clothing you were wearing at the time of the accident.
• Seek medical attention if injured immediately. If not immediately, then at least within 14 days, as required by current Florida Statute. Otherwise, you will not be able to seek full compensation for future medical bills, and it may cost you other compensation as well.

And

• Do not give recorded statements to any insurance adjusters. Period. Even your own.

The liability of a premises owner or operator depends on the state and federal laws that apply to the circumstances. For example, an owner of a home or public store has a duty to warn you about any known hazards that you might encounter. Construction workers are legally obligated to warn and protect the public from hazard at their work sites. Depending on individual circumstances, all may still be liable for injuries you receive while on their premises, even if they warned you of potential injury.

Texting and driving – causes auto accidents in Jupiter, Florida and all throughout the country

The statistics bear it out – texting while driving increases your chances of getting into an accident by an exponential percentage. The problem is so big and so widespread that texting while driving has eclipsed even eclipsed drunk driving in the number of auto accidents caused by some form of distraction in Florida and throughout the United States.

For teen drivers, the statistics are even scarier. The number of fatalities caused by texting while driving surpassed the number of deaths caused by drunk driving in 2012 for the first time, according to a study published by Cohen Children’s Medical Center. More than 3,000 teens died in crashes involving texting while approximately 2,700 died in accidents involving alcohol.

To read the entire article in which the Cohen study is cited, go to: http://safety.trw.com/texting-while-driving-now-leading-cause-of-us-teen-deaths/0710/

Many insurance companies treat texting while driving in a similar fashion to someone who is impaired by alcohol or drugs. If it can be proven you are texting while driving, they will deny coverage. There is so much downside to texting while driving that it is just not worth it. But even as it becomes less and less socially acceptable to text and drive, as responsible citizens we must continue to increase awareness and communications with all drivers, and particularly teenagers who are about to or have just obtained their driver’s licenses.

Check out websites like http://www.textinganddrivingsafety.com/ and https://noys.org/ to see what you can do to help spread the word on curtailing texting and driving with teenage drivers, and all other drivers. We also believe that the texting and driving laws in the state of Florida need to be more stringent, as they are in many other states around the country.

If you are injured in an auto accident because the other driver or you were texting, you may have a right to bring a claim for various damages and injuries incurred. Call us at Slinkman, Slinkman & Wynne, P.A. We offer a free initial consultation, and our phone number is (561) 686-3400.

At Slinkman, Slinkman, & Wynne, we know that automobile accidents involving cell phone usage happen all the time.
