Dogs Can Make Great Driving Companions, But They Can Also Cause Crashes

Americans adore their dogs, and with 68 million households welcoming at least one canine companion, it’s clear they’re family members as much as pets. But while dogs bring comfort and joy, they can also bring danger, especially when they ride along in the car. In 2023, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recorded 40,901 motor vehicle fatalities . The majority were linked to speeding, drunk driving, or failure to wear seatbelts. But an alarming 3,275 deaths were attributed to distracted driving . While mobile phones dominate the distracted driving conversation, dogs are a growing and under-recognized part of the problem. This new study by DeMayo Law Offices explores which dog breeds are most likely to cause accidents, why it happens, and what drivers can do to keep their pets and themselves safe. America’s Dog Obsession Meets the Open Road Pet ownership is booming. Roughly 94 million U.S. households own a pet , with Millennials (30%) leading ...

California Tops Nation in Truck Crashes, Study Reveals Delivery Pressures Behind Rising Risks

California has been identified as the most dangerous state for truck crashes, according to a new study by John Foy & Associates. The report shows the state recorded 11,256 truck collisions in a single year—more than any other state in the country. The surge is tied to the explosive growth of e-commerce. With more than 247 million Americans shopping online each year and generating over $1.24 trillion in sales, the demand for faster delivery has never been higher. To meet these expectations, Amazon, UPS, FedEx, and Walmart have expanded their fleets, putting thousands of additional trucks on already congested highways. The result: heavier traffic, overtired drivers, and a sharp rise in high-risk crashes. The Cost of Convenience The study found that crashes are heavily concentrated in California’s busiest cities, including Los Angeles, Oakland, and San Diego. Of the 11,256 collisions, nearly 9,600 involved another moving vehicle—evidence of the dangers that come with opera...

Top 5 States for Pedestrian Deaths in 2023 — California, Texas, and Florida Lead the List

More than 4,000 pedestrians lost their lives in just five states in 2023, according to new research from Bader Law. California, Texas, Florida, Georgia, and New York recorded the highest numbers of pedestrian deaths, together accounting for a disproportionate share of the nation’s fatalities. The total in these states rivals the entire national death toll from just two decades ago , underscoring the severity of the current pedestrian safety crisis.

Florida – 850 deaths , with risks heightened in tourist-heavy coastal cities and late-night entertainment districts. Georgia – 700 deaths , reflecting suburban sprawl where sidewalks and sa...

From Likes to Life-Threatening: Study Reveals Rise of Dangerous Social Media Challenges

A growing number of teens and young adults are ending up in emergency rooms after attempting viral social media challenges, according to a new study from Omega Law . Platforms like TikTok and Instagram have given young users unprecedented opportunities for connection and creativity. But researchers warn that the same algorithms fueling entertainment are also promoting dangerous trends that can cause serious injury — and in some cases, death. Social Media by the Numbers The scale of social media use among U.S. teens is massive: 183 million TikTok users and 168 million Instagram users log in monthly. Teens and young adults (ages 13–24) make up 39% of Instagram’s U.S. base and 32% of TikTok’s users . TikTok users spend an average of 95 minutes per day on the app. While much of the content is lighthearted, the study found that algorithms frequently push emotionally intense or risky videos that capture engagement, including self-harm confessions and vi...

Mississippi Has the Highest Rate of Uninsured Drivers in Fatal Crashes, Study Shows

A new nationwide study by Shane Smith Law has identified Mississippi as the deadliest state when it comes to uninsured drivers involved in fatal crashes. The findings, based on federal crash data and insurance statistics, show that states with higher uninsured populations face significantly greater risks on the road — both for drivers and for accident victims who may struggle to recover compensation. Mississippi Ranks #1 Mississippi led the nation in 2023 with 69 uninsured drivers involved in fatal crashes .

Wyoming and Texas Not Far Behind Wyoming placed second, with 22 uninsured drivers involved in fatal crashes per million residents . The state recorded 13 such crashes in total, but its small population magni...
