Criminal Law

• DUI/DWI
  Some states, including New Jersey, impose what are known as Dram Shop laws on local businesses that sell alcohol. Any establishment that serves or sells alcohol can be held partially responsible for drunk driving car accidents caused by its customers. Accident victims can name the business that provided the alcohol in their lawsuit if they can prove that the vendor knew the customer was already intoxicated but continued to serve drinks, or if the vendor should have known it was serving alcohol to a minor. Drunk drivers who are injured in an accident cannot sue an establishment under Dram Shop laws; this privilege is for sober victims only.
• Wrongful Death

• Traffic Violations
  There are many types of drivers on the road, but a driver consumed by road rage can be easy to spot. These types of drivers make sudden and erratic movements with their vehicles, such as speeding up and tailgating other vehicles. Other common signs of road rage are a driver who honks the horn or flashes the vehicle’s headlights repeatedly. Enraged drivers may go as far as to confront other drivers by yelling and making rude comments or gestures. If other drivers try to maneuver away from the enraged driver, that driver may cut the other vehicle off or abruptly brake in front of it, causing a rear-end collision.
