Significant Numbers

38% Drunk

On average, alcohol was a factor in 38 percent of all fatal road crashes during the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s holidays from 2009 to 2013. Thanksgiving topped the list, averaging 412 deaths per year.

6,000 Lives

Falls are the leading cause of home injury deaths, claiming nearly 6,000 lives per year. In 2010 alone, more than 660,000 adults were hospitalized due to a fall.

$100 Grand

The standard minimum of $100,000 in homeowner’s liability insurance may fall short if someone is injured in your home, making you responsible for the balance. Insurance experts recommend increasing this amount.

Stewart L. Cohen, a lawyer with Cohen, Placitella & Roth of Philadelphia, said there were a “number of excellent resources available to provide information to assist and advocate for the disabled.”

“Don’t only rely on what you are told by the government and service providers,” Cohen said. Learn more…
