New York Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyer Adnan Munawar Weighs-In On Celebrity Car Crash

NEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- New York native and international celebrity Jennifer Lopez was lucky to emerge from a car crash caused by an allegedly drunk driver, Pix 11 reported. (Jennifer Lopez, Leah Remini Involved in Car Accident with Drunk Driver, September 28, 2014). According to the story, Ms. Lopez and Ms. Remini are fortunate to be alive after an allegedly drunk driver rear-ended their vehicle.

Ms. Lopez and Ms. Remini were stopped at a red light when the crash took place and the impaired driver reportedly fled the scene in his vehicle immediately. Police arrested the driver, who had not made it very far away, and have charged him with driving under the influence and hit-and-run. The two celebrities, who posted a picture of themselves online reporting the incident, were not injured in the accident.

"I have seen crashes like these turn out far worse," said Adnan Munawar, Partner at Munawar & Andrews-Santillo LLP, "Ms. Lopez and Ms. Remini were truly fortunate to escape unscathed. While it is never pleasant to hear about DUI crashes, hopefully at least with this particular incident gaining in notoriety because it involved celebrities, it will cause some people to reflect on the seriousness of driving while under the influence. For some reason, people routinely drive while intoxicated, despite the fact that they are putting their own lives as well as the lives of others in serious danger, and we as a society need to send a message loud and clear that we will not accept this type of reckless behavior."

"One major difference between this accident and a more common accident not involving a celebrity is that Ms. Lopez almost certainly already has an attorney to handle this situation for her, whereas many people do not have general counsel or even the remotest idea of where to look for support. It is absolutely essential that people know that anyone who is involved in a car crash should pick up the phone and contact an attorney right away. The time might be ticking on enforcing your rights, and hiring the right expert can be the difference between getting the compensation you need and deserve, and being left to wait for less. And remember, there is little to no barrier in retaining a personal injury attorney—the consultation is free, and you only ever pay a fee if your claim is successful."
