Uber Accidents in New York: What You Need to Know and How to Protect Your Rights
New York City is home to millions of rides each day, and with the convenience of services like Uber comes the risk of accidents. If you’ve been involved in an Uber accident, understanding your legal rights and the steps you should take immediately afterward can make a significant difference in your recovery—both physically and financially.
Holidays, Family, and the Gift of Advanced Directives
During the holidays, spending time with family often reveals changes in aging relatives that might otherwise go unnoticed. Whether it's a physical decline, cognitive issues, or struggles with daily tasks, these observations can serve as reminders to have important conversations about future care. Advanced directives and powers of attorney are essential legal tools that ensure your loved ones' wishes are respected, and relieve potential stress on family members during challenging times.
CARING FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY WHEN MEDICAL EMERGENCY OR ILLNESS STRIKES : What is an Advance Directive?
