The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) issued a series of non-binding guidelines to automakers last week, requesting that any integrated electronic devices placed in new cars have a feature disabling social networks like Facebook and Twitter while the car is in motion. DOT may also develop guidelines for handheld electronics like cell phones and voice-activated electronic systems. This is part of DOT's campaign to cut down on "distracted driving," meaning driving while using a device that takes the driver's attention off the road. This includes not only talking on a mobile phone but also texting and using social media.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which is part of DOT, nearly ten percent of all traffic fatalities in 2010 involved distracted driving. The use of hands-free devices like headsets does not necessarily improve a driver's attention.

Auto industry analysts estimate that the number of sales of new cars that have smartphone and "embedded connectivity units" will increase by twenty-nine percent in the United States in 2012, with at least 5.8 million "in-vehicle units." These include not only smartphones and other mobile phones, but also devices physically embedded in the cars themselves such as GPS navigation systems. Some cars also feature attached or embedded devices that allow passengers, although ideally not drivers, to access the internet. By 2026, some analysts expect that all cars sold in North America and Japan will have some sort of embedded technology. Mobile phones have grown more sophisticated as well, allowing drivers to make and receive phone calls and to use multiple features of the internet.

In December 2011, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), another agency of DOT, recommended that states enact laws banning the use of mobile phones and other electronic communications devices while driving. In September, it had recommended a ban on mobile device usage by commercial drivers, such as truck drivers. The NTSB has no actual rule-making authority and can only issue recommendations to other federal agencies and state and local governments. This Connecticut Injury Attorney Blog reported on the NTSB's recommendation in December. Its recommendation specifically covered "non-emergency" use of call phones while driving, but it may expand its recommendations to request a ban on all mobile phone use. It has called distracted driving a public health crisis comparable to drunk driving or smoking.

Automakers are working on guidelines of their own related to distracted driving. Rather than disabling electronic devices, industry guidelines would seek to minimize the amount of time drivers must take their eyes off the road. This would serve to allow drivers to have access to electronic devices, which can come in handy in emergency situations, but would also work to prevent distraction.

A multi-car accident in Norwalk on the morning of Saturday, January 14, 2012 caused a pickup truck to roll over and sent a family of six to the hospital. Fortunately no one was seriously injured, but the accident scattered cars across the Route 7 connector and prompted a sizeable emergency response.

According to state troopers on the scene, a 2004 Ford Focus traveling in the left lane veered into the center lane at about 11:17 a.m. and struck a 2005 Toyota Tacoma truck. The truck then hit a 2006 Toyota Corolla in the right lane. The driver of the truck swerved across the highway and lost control of the vehicle. The truck rolled over and came to rest on the side of the road. Connecticut State Police dispatched an accident reconstruction team, whose investigation is ongoing.

The truck's six occupants all went to the hospital for injuries. Two adults, including the driver, were in the front seat, while the back seat held one adult and three children. Both front seat occupants suffered abrasions, with the driver also complaining of leg pain. Initial reports suggested that one child was thrown from the vehicle, but this might not be accurate. According to a later news report, one child was not wearing a seat belt and suffered a "leg injury." The adult in the back seat complained of a back injury, and a child wearing a shoulder belt suffered abrasions and bruising. A child strapped in a safety seat suffered no injuries. None of the occupants of the other two vehicles reported any injuries.

The accident remains under investigation by state police. No conclusions have been released as to the cause of the accident and what caused the Ford Focus to first veer out of its lane.

Should the investigation conclude that a driver involved in the accident was at fault, that person could be liable for the damage caused and injuries suffered. It raises an interesting question about liability. A negligence claim requires proof of four elements: a duty of care, a breach of that duty, causation, and damages. This accident involved multiple collisions and separate decisions by different drivers. Arguably, one driver set a chain of events in motion, but a question that could come up in a dispute would be whether the first driver was legally liable for events several steps further down the chain.

Connecticut observed Safe Teen Driving Awareness Week from December 4 through 10 with the theme of "How A Community Helps to Make Teens Safe Drivers." The Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) released a Teen-Parent Driver Agreement, which it hopes will educate teens and families about the risks teenagers in particular face on the roads. The Agreement will be included in the driver's manual distributed in teen drivers' education programs. DMV Commissioner Melody A. Currey remarked that she hopes the agreement "gives communities as well as parents and teens a good starting point for discussions about safety."

Safe Teen Driving Awareness Week began several years ago with support from !MPACT, an organization of friends and families of teenagers who died in automobile accidents, more formally known as Mourning Parents Act, Inc. It is observed every year in early December and features campaigns for educating teens and families about driving safety, as well as advocacy for stronger regulations of teen driving education programs. It specifically targets 16- and 17-year-olds, for whom automobile accidents are the leading cause of death in Connecticut. The DMV also co-sponsors an annual video competition inviting videos that spotlight community efforts to promote safe driving and prevent crashes and injuries.

The "Teen-Parent Driver Agreement" is the centerpiece of the campaign, aimed at encouraging communication between teens and their parents or guardians about driving safety and the particular risks teens face on the road. It includes checklists of safety risks, obligations of supervising adults, and obligations of teen drivers for teens and adults to review together, such as:

- Adults should serve as role models by driving responsibly themselves.
- Adults should give teens a ride whenever possible to avoid dangerous driving situations.
- Taking and passing a driving course does not guarantee that a teen is a safe driver.
- Violating state driving laws puts people, including the driver, at risk of injury and worse.
- Teens will wear seatbelts and refrain from using electronic communications devices, such as cell phones, while driving.
- Teens will not drive while fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
- Teens will obey curfews and rules pertaining to the number of passengers allowed in the car.

The agreement also includes clauses pertaining to responsibility for gas and maintenance expenses, as well as suspension of driving privileges for violating any of the teen obligations.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), an independent agency of the federal government, issued a recommendation this week calling on state governments to ban the non-emergency use of cell phones and other electronic devices by drivers. The NTSB has no specific enforcement powers by itself, but it is the leading government advocate for safety in transportation. As such, its recommendations carry a great deal of weight with lawmakers and other government officials.

The NTSB further recommends the use of "high visibility enforcement" to aid enforcement of such bans. This refers to a model established by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), another government safety advocate, involving a publicity campaign surrounding a specific traffic law combined with aggressive and visible enforcement of that law. A famous example is the NHTSA's "Click It or Ticket" campaign supporting seat belt use.

The NHTSA estimates that "distracted driving" contributed to as many as 3,092 automobile accident deaths in 2010, with cell phone use constituting a significant percentage of the "distractions." It also estimates that, at any point in time, one percent of drivers is texting or accessing the internet on mobile devices while driving. This number is likely even higher among young drivers. Driving while texting seems to be on the rise, even as thirty-five states and the District of Columbia have enacted bans on the practice. Whether Americans can overcome their seeming addiction to their mobile devices and focus on driving remains to be seen.

The NTSB's recommendation came as part of its report on an August 5, 2010 multi-vehicle crash in Gray Summit, Missouri that killed two people and injured thirty-five. A pickup truck struck the rear of a semi with no trailer. A school bus then struck the rear of the pickup truck, flipping it onto the back of the semi. A second school bus hit the first bus, driving the first bus further into the pickup truck. The pickup truck driver and a passenger in the rear of the first school bus were killed. Cell phone records and other evidence indicated that the driver of the pickup truck was likely distracted due to texting when he collided with the semi, having sent or received eleven text messages in the space of eleven minutes. Evidence also indicated that the pickup truck driver was fatigued due to long driving hours. The board also found issues with the school buses that contributed to the accident, but distracted driving was found to be a substantial causative factor.

The woman responsible for a fatal crash in May 2011 pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter in late November. Yadira Torres, a 26 year-old warehouse worker, agreed to serve between five and eight years in prison. A judge will determine the specific length of sentencing in February. Torres has not driven since the accident. She is free on $35,000 bail.

The accident occurred at about 6:00 a.m. on May 7. Torres was driving north on Interstate 95, reportedly heading home to Hartford after a night of drinking in Manhattan. She lost control of her Dodge Caliber and hit the tractor trailer she was passing. The collision made the truck flip and spin around, detaching the cab from the trailer. The truck then burst into flames. Both the driver, 42 year-old James Sorto, and his passenger, 18 year-old Kelly Taborda, died in the crash. Sorto was pronounced dead at the scene, although officials would not be able to identify him for several days due to the extent of his burns. Taborda, who was pregnant, died from blunt trauma injuries at Stamford Hospital. Torres and three passengers in her car were treated for minor injuries at Norwalk Hospital. Police arrested Torres at the hospital that day.

Police charged Torres with vehicular manslaughter. In Connecticut, the combination of driving under the influence and a fatal car crash is known as "manslaughter in the second degree with a motor vehicle" and is a class C felony. The law allows prison sentences of one to ten years for conviction of a class C felony. By pleading guilty, Torres has admitted to many aspects of the accident, including being at fault for the crash. Normally, personal injury attorneys would find this information useful.

According to news reports, Torres had minimal coverage under her automobile insurance policy. Taborda's family reportedly decided not to pursue a lawsuit for damages or wrongful death against Torres. Although there should be more than enough evidence to support a wrongful death claim, a cardinal rule of civil claims is not to commit the time and expense of a claim when it is certain that the defendant lacks the ability to pay a settlement or judgment. With no insurance and a lengthy prison sentence looming, the defendant in this case most likely lacks the means to satisfy a judgment if one existed.

A 15 year-old Connecticut teen who allegedly stole a car and crashed it on Route 16 in November now faces multiple juvenile criminal charges. The teen allegedly stole a 2006 Chrysler Sebring from the North Grosvenordale neighborhood in Thompson the night of November 10. Connecticut State Police later identified the vehicle, but when they tried to stop it, the driver apparently sped up and crossed the Massachusetts state line. After midnight on November 11, a Douglas police officer saw the car heading east on Route 16, going about 77 miles per hour in a 45-mph speed zone. When he tried to stop the vehicle, it sped up to over 100 miles an hour, and the officer lost sight of it. The officer then found the site of the car wreck.

The car crashed on Route 16 and was flipped over when the police officer found it. Police say the crash ejected the driver and one passenger, a 16 year-old male. A 17 year-old female was trapped in the back seat. All three were taken to a hospital in Worcester, Massachusetts with serious injuries. The three youths were already suspected of a series of break-ins, and the car contained stolen property linking them to those incidents.

Authorities charged the driver with using a motor vehicle without authority, driving without a license, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, and driving under the influence of drugs and causing serious bodily injury. They also charged the boy with speeding, seat belt violations, failing to stop for police, and "battery with a dangerous weapon," namely the automobile. No fatalities were reported in the crash, and reports do not indicate property damage to anything other than the vehicle itself.

Civil damages in this case may be difficult to resolve. All three occupants of the vehicle were injured, and the injuries resulted from allegedly criminal activity. As such, the driver would likely be liable for damages caused by the crash, as violation of one or more laws can often serve as evidence supporting breach of duty in a negligence claim. The fact that the driver and one of the passengers are minors may also affect how liability is determined.

A collision Sunday night between a 24-foot box truck and a series of telephone poles in Waterbury, Connecticut caused a power outage that lasted into Monday and forced the closure of a nearby elementary school. The truck was reportedly turning onto Dikeman street at about 6:40 p.m. when the side of the truck struck a telephone pole. When that pole fell, wire tension pulled down two more poles. The driver reportedly then continued driving, turning onto Willard Street and striking another pole with the side of the truck. That pole pulled down two more poles when it fell. In all, the truck caused six telephone poles to fall. Police found the driver on nearby Ward Street, where he had parked the truck. There is no indication that anyone was injured.

According to Connecticut Light & Power, about 170 of its customers in the area were without power after the accident. Walsh Elementary School, located on Dikeman Street, had to remain closed Monday because of the power outage. Power was reportedly restored by the end of the day Monday.

The driver, a 33 year-old Waterbury resident, has been charged with several alleged criminal offenses, including "evading responsibility." This refers to leaving the scene of an accident that causes injury or property damage without rendering assistance and providing contact information. It only applies to people directly involved in the accident. Connecticut law treats this offense very seriously, imposing a fine of up to $10,000 and imprisonment of one to ten years if convicted.

The media have not reported on any specific cause of the accident, so it is not known if it was driver error, weather conditions, mechanical failure, or some other reason. The driver, or the driver's employer, could potentially face civil liability for damages caused by the accident. News reports indicate the driver did not own the truck involved in the accident. If it belonged to an employer, and the accident occurred while the driver was performing duties for the employer, then that employer may be held liable for the negligence of its employee.

The main question for an attorney to consider in this sort of case is who may bring a claim for damages. The most obvious damage is to the six downed telephone poles, a claim likely belonging to the city or other local government. Further damages did occur, however, as a result of the downed poles, in the power outage. Could the driver or his employer be held liable for damages resulting from the power outage?

Two fatal car accidents occurred over a Thanksgiving weekend in Connecticut that otherwise seemed slightly safer than in years past, with slightly fewer arrests for drunk driving. In all, police responded to 389 crashes on Connecticut highways last weekend. Only one fatality occurred over the holiday weekend in 2010. One accident this past weekend involved a head-on collision in East Hartford, and the other involved two motorcycles in Marlborough. Whether alcohol was involved in either accident is not known. Police are still investigating the causes of the two accidents, and have not released any specific information as to findings in either case.

Early in the morning of Saturday, November 26, 26 year-old Meridien resident Noel Lopez died after a collision on Route 15 in East Hartford. Lopez was reportedly driving the wrong way when his car hit another vehicle head-on. Lopez was taken to Hartford Hospital and later pronounced dead. The other driver is expected to survive, having suffered a broken leg in the crash. As of Saturday, a police investigation was underway.

Saturday afternoon, 46 year-old Portland resident Paul Hubbard died of head trauma sustained when his motorcycle collided with another motorcycle on Route 66 in Marlborough. Police reported that Hubbard hit the other motorcycle when its driver slowed down to allow another vehicle to make a turn. Police are reportedly also investigating this crash.

Holiday weekends frequently see an increase in traffic accidents and fatalities, with an increased number of vehicles on the roads, a higher level of stress among drivers, and a greater incidence of holiday-related alcohol consumption. In situations of heightened stress and dangerous driving conditions, questions of fault and liability, always a concern for personal injury attorneys, are especially difficult to resolve. Every driver owes a duty to every other driver to abide by traffic laws and operate their vehicles safely. Holiday weekends present a confounding opportunity for multiple breaches of these duties to coincide and cause accidents.

Connecticut state police have reported at least 65 arrests over the Thanksgiving weekend for alleged driving under the influence, as well as two fatal accidents. They began stepping up patrols in anticipation of the busy holiday weekend at midnight on Wednesday, November 23 and continued until midnight on Sunday the 27th. They focused on drunk and aggressive drivers. The state saw a total of 389 accidents through Sunday afternoon, with at least fifty injuries. Police also reported about 390 citations for seatbelt violations, 1,257 speeding tickets, and over 2,500 arrests for various other moving violations. Other violations may include cell phone use while driving, failure to signal, unsafe lane changes, and following too closely. These statistics mar what should have been a happy and festive weekend for everybody.

Two accidents over the weekend resulted in a total of two fatalities. A motorcyclist died in an accident on Route 66 in Marlborough. One death resulted from an accident on Route 15 in East Hartford.

These figures represent a decrease from some of the corresponding statistics for Thanksgiving 2010. That year, police made 80 arrests for driving under the influence and issued 2,255 speeding tickets. They responded to 391 auto accidents with one fatality. Overall, Thanksgiving weekend remains a dangerous time on roads in Connecticut and around the country.

Accidents related to driving under the influence of alcohol tend to increase during the holiday season. Police nationwide report increases in DUI arrests during the holidays. This can be the result of both the positive and negative aspects of how we celebrate the holidays. On the positive side, people often socialize more and spend more time out of their homes during the holidays. This unfortunately often means more drinking. Drinking is also often a means of coping with the negative side of the holidays, which can include stress over money, stress over family relationships, and additional pressure on people's schedules. People who might not drink very much the rest of the year misjudge their own tolerance and do not recognize that they should not get behind the wheel. All of these factors contribute to a greater risk of accidents on the road.

An equipment malfunction may have caused a U-Haul truck to crash into a tailgate party outside the Yale University football stadium, killing one person and injuring two more, according to the truck's driver. Police are still investigating the crash and its possible causes. For a personal injury lawyer, the case presents the critical question of who could be held liable for the crash, and in this case it is not yet clear.

The crash occurred Saturday, November 19, 2011. The truck, driven by a Yale junior, was on its way to a fraternity tailgate party outside the football stadium when it suddenly swerved and sped up, veering into a crowd and hitting three women attending another tailgate party. A 30 year-old woman from Salem, Massachusetts was killed. Another victim was taken to a nearby hospital in serious but stable condition. A third victim received treatment for minor injuries.

New Haven police took the driver of the U-Haul to police headquarters and administered a standard field sobriety test. The driver reportedly passed the test, and he was released from police custody. No charges have been filed against him. Two passengers were also reportedly in the truck at the time of the crash, but neither was detained by police.

Police impounded the truck, a Ford F-350 with a V-10 Triton engine, in order to preserve it for inspection. The Yale Daily News interviewed several individuals with knowledge of this model of truck regarding the claim of some sort of vehicle malfunction. Some F-350 models apparently have closely-spaced gas and brake pedals, for example, leaving the possibility that a driver could accidentally push both pedals, or even just the gas pedal, when intending to brake. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has apparently received several complaints regarding this truck model.

Although it is too early to say what claims may arise from this tragic event, a wrongful death claim on behalf of the woman killed in the crash seems likely. This requires proof that someone's negligence directly caused her death. Three possible defendants present themselves, depending on how the investigation turns out: the driver of the truck, the truck rental company, or the truck's manufacturer. No evidence yet available supports a specific negligence claim against any of the actual people or businesses involved in this case, so of course this analysis is purely hypothetical.

A police officer in West Haven was injured shortly after midnight on Saturday, November 13 by an alleged drunk driver, reports the New Haven Register. The officer was on patrol when a car turning onto Boston Post Road struck his vehicle at about 2:15 a.m. The officer was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital. He was treated and released. His name has not been released to the media.

The Register notes that several officers in the West Haven Police Department have suffered injuries in automobile accidents in recent months. Last week, an officer was struck by a CT Transit Bus as he was exiting his vehicle and had to be hospitalized. In September, a car hit an off-duty officer on his motorcycle, breaking his leg. A sergeant was injured in July when someone deliberately rammed his cruiser. The West Haven police chief commented that the department is having staffing difficulties due to recent injuries.

In the Saturday incident, the 27 year-old driver who hit the police officer's vehicle allegedly had, at the time of the crash, a blood-alcohol content three times the legal limit. He also allegedly ran a blinking red light, the equivalent of a stop sign. The driver has been charged with driving under the influence and several other offenses, including failure to grant the right of way at an intersection. The driver could face up to six months in jail if this is his first driving under the influence offense.

From the perspective of a personal injury attorney, the question is whether the driver can be held liable for the officer's injuries. If the driver acted negligently, then he can be liable for damages, which may include the officer's medical expenses related to his injuries, lost wages for time missed from work, costs of rehabilitation from his injuries, future lost wages because of rehabilitation or diminished work capacity, and compensation for "pain and suffering" resulting from the injuries. In this particular case, the officer was released from the hospital the same day, so the amount of damages may be small, but some injuries in automobile accidents do not manifest right away.

A woman in Greenwich, Connecticut was seriously injured on Monday, November 14, 2011, when her car collided head-on with an oncoming dump truck, as reported in the Greenwich Time. The accident occurred at about 12:30 on North Street, a major north-south thoroughfare. The dump truck, a large 10-wheel model, nearly destroyed the woman's Lexus. The woman was trapped inside the car and had to be pulled out by rescue workers. Greenwich EMS transported her to the nearest emergency room. No further information on her status is yet available. The dump truck driver was reportedly uninjured. Police have not yet released a statement as to the cause of the accident.

The accident shut down a long stretch of North Street for several hours. Residents and workers in the area expressed concern to the media about speeding on North Street. Perhaps because the street runs through much of the town, drivers often exceed the speed limit there, putting themselves and other drivers and passengers at greater risk for injury.

At this point, neither the exact cause of the crash nor the full extent of injuries are known. Although it is too early to speculate on liability in this specific incident, the case potentially presents several issues common to auto accidents. The crash involved a head-on collision between a car and a large truck owned by a construction contractor. Both vehicles suffered extensive damage, but only the driver of the car was injured. A determination of liability in a case like this will consider whether either, or both, drivers were negligent in operating their vehicles. A driver found to be negligent may be liable for injuries caused by their actions (or lack of action.)

"Negligence" as a legal theory has four parts. First, in order to support a finding of negligence, a person must owe some duty of care to another. All drivers owe a duty to others on the road to drive reasonably safely and to obey traffic laws. Second, a person must breach that duty. Third, the breach must directly cause the accident, such that a "reasonable person" could foresee it as a result. Finally, the person claiming damages must have suffered actual harm. In the case of a car accident, some lapse in attention or breach of a traffic law that leads directly to a collision in which a person suffers injuries would support a finding of negligence in a court of law.

The Connecticut Supreme Court issued an order on Thursday, November 10, 2011 reinstating convictions for manslaughter and driving while intoxicated for Tricia Coccomo, as reported by the Stamford Advocate. An appellate court had reversed her convictions in 2009 and ordered a new trial based on questions of evidence presented by prosecutors. The case arose from a 2005 automobile accident that killed three people. This criminal case exists independently of any claim by the victims' families for damages and wrongful death, but it demonstrates the often close relationship between our civil and criminal legal systems.

The accident at the heart of this case occurred in July 2005 on Long Ridge Road in Stamford, when Coccomo's vehicle veered across the median and struck a convertible carrying three people head-on. All three occupants of that vehicle died. Police collected a blood sample from Coccomo and the three victims and later said that Coccomo's sample showed intoxication at three times the legal limit.

Coccomo was charged with manslaughter and driving while intoxicated. A jury convicted her of both charges in 2007 and sentenced her to twelve years in prison. The prosecution's case apparently relied almost exclusively on the blood alcohol test results. Another piece of evidence presented at the trial by the prosecution involved Coccomo's alleged sale of her house to her mother for a tiny sum of money ten days after the accident. While this has little relevance to the questions of whether she caused the crash or whether she was driving while intoxicated, the prosecution seemed to hope it would show an attempt to protect assets from the victims' families and, therefore, a guilty conscience.

Labor Day weekend is one of the busiest of the year in terms of auto travel, resulting in a heavier police presence on Connecticut roads, and increased speeding and other traffic citations.

Unfortunately, the increased traffic volume also results in a larger number of Connecticut auto accidents.

One particularly tragic case reported today in the media involved two fatalities in a car accident early Saturday morning on the Merritt Parkway in Norwalk.

A bicyclist from Fairfield Connecticut suffered traumatic head injuries after being thrown from her bike following a collision with a truck. She is currently in critical condition at a Bridgeport, Connecticut hospital.

The media reported that the victim was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. The accident thus highlights the need for stressing helmet safety for all bicyclists.
