New Jersey Slip and Fall Accident Attorneys
Accidents that involve a slip, trip, or fall can happen to anyone, regardless of their age. In spite of this, millions of people over the age of 65 suffer falls every year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that on average, one out of every four older adults will suffer a fall every year. Based on data collected by the agency, fall death rates in the United States have increased by 30 percent from 2007 to 2016 for older adults. Furthermore, it is estimated that if rates continue to rise, it can be anticipated that by 2030, there will be 7 fatal falls every hour.
Amazon Prime Truck Fatality

The fleet of Amazon trucks and vans continues to grow as the home delivery company becomes more and more popular as a means of obtaining goods. The increase in e-commerce also has contributed to the increase in the Amazon fleet of vehicles nationwide and in New Jersey. It is common to see Amazon delivery vehicles on the highways and in residential neighborhoods at all times of the morning, day and night making their deliveries. It is often the case that the individuals who drive this massive fleet of vehicles have not had the experience necessary to operate safely.
