Let’s be honest. Easter Sunday does not feel like a dangerous day to be on the road. It feels like pastel decorations, family brunch, and kids hunting for eggs in the backyard. But here’s the thing: while everyone’s focused on the deviled eggs and the drive to Grandma’s house, the roads across New Jersey become some of the most hazardous they’ll be all year. And if you or someone you love gets hurt out there, you’re going to want to know exactly who’s responsible and what to do next. If you were injured in an Easter Sunday…

The pressure from institutions to stay quiet combined with the discomfort that comes from going public makes it incredibly difficult for survivors of sexual abuse to come forward. When survivors speak out, as the former students of Paramus Catholic High School are doing now, their courage deserves recognition.

Though roof collapses remain uncommon (even during severe weather conditions like we just saw), they can and do happen and what occurred at the Westfield Rink serves as a strong reminder.  On Wednesday, February 25, 2026, the roof of the Westfield Rink partially collapsed. While the official cause of the collapse remains under investigation, local authorities are attributing it to the…

The popular rideshare company, Uber, was just found liable in a lawsuit stemming from a driver’s sexual assault. On February 5, 2026, a federal jury in Phoenix ordered the company to pay $8.5 million to Jaylynn Dean, who said she was sexually assaulted by her Uber driver in November 2023.  The outcome of Dean’s lawsuit (which was the first of the bellwether trials to determine the value of claims for possible future settlements) is extremely significant because it could influence the thousands of similar lawsuits already filed against Uber. At Drazin and Warshaw, we’ve seen just…
