New York DWI Lawyer Blog

When you or someone you love has been injured, you want information you can trust, and you need help understanding what to do next. The challenge is that most people are not taught what to do after a serious injury or accident.

At The Law Office of Mark A. Siesel, our legal team knows the myriad of emotions that can arise after a serious accident. Dealing with insurance companies, wage loss, medical treatments, and finding a lawyer all at the same time can feel impossible. Often, our clients tell us they are missing the information and facts they need to make the right decisions.

We founded our law firm because we wanted to be a source of knowledge and support for those who don’t know where to turn next. It’s why we offer a free consultation: so you can always contact a lawyer for answers if you are injured.

It’s also why we offer a detailed blog library focused exclusively on personal injury topics. Our blogs are designed to educate and empower people who are trying to make sense of life after an accident. We often hear from clients about what has confused them after an injury and we use their questions and our experience to create blog posts designed to help.

Why We Write

With almost 40 years of experience practicing law, Mark A. Siesel has handled thousands of personal injury matters. His blogs draw upon decades of practical knowledge, real-world examples, and insight gained from representing clients throughout White Plains and nearby communities. Many clients tell us that reading our articles helped them feel more prepared before speaking with an attorney.

Our blog is an extension of our commitment to accessibility and genuine client relationships. Just as we return phone calls and emails within 24 business hours, often the same day, we strive to make our legal knowledge available whenever you need it.

Why Our Blog Library Matters

Not all personal injury information online is accurate. Many sites post recycled or overly optimistic statements about case value or expected outcomes. We take a different approach. Every blog is written to give readers a realistic understanding of the law, the claims process, and the factors that actually matter in building a strong case.

Whether you were involved in a motor vehicle accident, suffered a traumatic brain injury, or are trying to understand the implications of a dog bite or slip and fall, the topics in our blog library can help you make educated decisions about your situation.

Topics You’ll Find in Our Personal Injury Blog Library

Our blog page covers a wide range of personal injury issues. Below is an overview of the types of articles you’ll find, each crafted to offer practical information without legal jargon.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Many readers begin with our articles on car, truck, bus, and motorcycle accidents. These blogs explain topics such as:

• New York’s no-fault insurance system.
• What to do after an accident.
• How medical documentation impacts your claim.
• Why insurance coverage plays a major role in case value.
• How SUM (supplemental underinsured motorist) coverage can protect injured motorists.

One recurring theme in these posts is the importance of understanding the insurance available—not just the tortfeasor’s policy limits but also whether they carry umbrella or excess policies. We also explain how a resident relative’s insurance might apply and why SUM coverage is one of the most valuable but most overlooked forms of protection available.

DWI, DWAI, and DWAID Accident Cases

Our blogs explain the difference between DWAI, DWI, and DWAID, potential penalties, and how alcohol- or drug-related collisions can impact civil liability. Many people don’t understand that criminal and civil cases often run on separate tracks; our articles clarify how these processes interact and what injured individuals can expect if the at-fault driver was impaired.

Traumatic Brain Injuries and Complex Medical Issues

Our firm frequently represents clients who have suffered traumatic brain injuries (TBI) or other serious conditions. These cases can be medically and legally complex, and our blogs are written to break down those complexities.

Common topics include:

• How brain injuries are diagnosed.
• The difference between mild, moderate, and severe TBIs.
• Why symptoms can appear days or weeks after the incident.
• The importance of detailed medical evaluation.

Premises Liability

Slip and fall cases, unsafe property conditions, and negligent security incidents are discussed throughout our premises liability blog posts. These articles help readers understand:

• How to preserve evidence.
• Why incident reports matter.
• The responsibilities of property owners.
• How building code violations or structural defects contribute to liability.

Construction Site Accidents

 All work accidents are devastating, but the electrical wiring, strong chemicals, many vehicles, and heavy machinery at construction sites can make accidents on these sites especially life changing. Falls from heights, electrocution, exposure, trench collapses, and other types of accidents take lives and cause permanent injury every year.

While you are generally covered by workers’ compensation if you are injured on the job, if you have suffered a serious injury you may want to explore whether you have a third-party claim. If you are eligible, you may be able to seek damages beyond what workers’ compensation can cover, which can help you get back on your feet financially.

Dog Bite Cases

Our blogs on this topic explain the responsibilities of dog owners, what evidence to gather, how medical treatment affects a claim, and how New York’s laws compare to other states.

How Our Blogs Support Injured Individuals

Many people who call our office tell us they found our blog posts helpful before reaching out. That is exactly the purpose of the library: to offer support and knowledge to anyone who is navigating a difficult injury situation.

Our blogs are:

• Educational: Readers gain a clearer understanding of their rights.
• Relatable: Articles are written in everyday language, not legal shorthand.
• Focused: Each post addresses one topic at a time so readers can find exactly what they need.
• Practical: They include guidance based on real-world personal injury work, not generic information.
• Current: Content reflects ongoing legal trends, insurance practices, and examples we see regularly in almost 40 years of experience.

Our goal is for readers to leave the page feeling more informed and less alone.

When to Contact The Law Office of Mark A. Siesel

For many people, our blog helps them to understand the basics. However, no blog post can explain how the law relates to your specific situation. That’s why we invite you to reach out if you have been seriously injured and are wondering what to do next. In a free consultation, we can review your situation and discuss possible next steps.
