Q. I was charged with dwi and refused to a chemical test and released on 180/80. Dmv hearing judge granted my driving

May 12, 2023

A: Hi - sorry about your incident. The others here are correct. When one is arrested for DWI and there was a refusal to submit to a breathalyzer, that triggers not only a court case, but an administrative hearing with DMV. The court case is independent of the refusal hearing conducted by DMV. If your officer or trooper did not appear on the first scheduled date of the refusal hearing (now done via phone), the the DMV Judge is mandated to reschedule the case and in the interim, your privileges are reinstated. If there was an actual hearing and after police testimony the DMV Judge returned your privileges, congrats, that is great and will be helpful with the court case and have a less drastic result on your driving privileges in the long run.

Your court case is totally separate. I would highly suggest you reach out and connect with an attorney in order to discuss your situation. Each case is different and a solid attorney can advise you on how they would proceed and what strategy they would use in order to achieve the most favorable resolution possible. Best of luck. ...

Q. During my driving class, a commercial truck hit me on the turn and I got injured.

November 22, 2022

A: Hi - I’m terribly sorry about your accident, it sounds awful. From what you described, it sounds like you may have a viable cause of action. You should consult with an attorney to see what your options are. In New York, there is a threshold that needs to be achieved prior to filing a case. If your injury fits the criteria, then you may be able to file a case.

Hoping that you feel better,

Q. Car accident

June 23, 2021

A: Hi. So sorry about your incident. You can definitely attempt to file a suit in order to get a recovery. However, New York has a threshold with regard to the level of injury one would require in order to file a cause of action.

I would suggest that you consult a NY attorney to see if you have a viable case.

All the best,

Jon
