Why Did My Attorney Drop My Accident Case?
HERE’S WHY ATTORNEYS DROP ACCIDENT CASES You get an e-mail from your attorney telling you that they are dropping your case. First of all, how rude! They should at least make an appointment for you to come into the office to discuss why your case turned sour, not just send you an e-mail informing you that your case is “dropped,” leaving you wondering why. Sadly, this happens all the time at law firms that are too big or too inefficient to care about their clients. You should never be wondering, "Why Did My Attorney Drop My Accident Case," as this should have been thoroughly explained to you. If you are sitting there wondering “Why did [...]

Why Won’t Any Medical Malpractice Attorney Take My Case?
THE ATTORNEY REVIEW PROCESS FOR MEDICAL MALPRACTICE CASES Your grandmother went to the hospital with a stomach ache and died. You’ve called every attorney in town and they won’t take the case. You even have evidence that they too heavily sedated her, and that she did not have a condition that she should have died from. You keep asking yourself, “Why won’t a medical malpractice attorney take my case?” Usually, a Medical Malpractice is handled on a contingency fee, which means that you don't pay anything until the case is settled or there is a verdict in your favor, and they are paid out of the proceeds. If they lose the case, you pay nothing, but [...]
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Bicycle Accidents
Many cities, including New York City, are encouraging residents and visitors to use bikes to get around the city. There are more bike lanes being put in every day, and you can rent a "Citi-bike" just about anywhere. It's not surprising that this has resulted in an increasing number of bike accidents citywide. They only have two wheels, so they are easy to tip over when they are hit by a car. There is no protection other than a helmet for the bicyclist, so injuries from bike accidents tend to be serious. If you are injured in a bicycle accident, an experienced bicycle accident attorney in NYC can explain the law as it applies to [...]
Injured Construction Workers Have Rights Under Labor Laws
Labor Laws protect construction workers injured on the job. New York’s Labor Laws impose a heavy duty on employers to provide a “safe place to work.” There is special protection for Construction Workers injured while doing work such as renovation, demolition, alteration or repair of buildings and other structures. The justification for these laws is that construction work is an extremely dangerous profession, and employers should be discouraged from “cutting corners” on safety with these strict laws. Injured construction workers have protection under these laws that allow them to sue their employers in addition to collecting Workers Compensation benefits. Section 200 This is the “safe place to work” law, and it very broad. In order to bring [...]
New York’s “Scaffold Law” Protects Injured Construction Workers
New York State Labor Law § 240/241 was one of the first labor laws enacted in the United States. It predates the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Workers Compensation Programs. It was enacted in 1885, and despite lobbying to repeal it, has survived to this day. A similar law in Illinois was repealed in 2013. There is even a website scaffoldlaw.com, dedicated to “Scaffold Law Reform,” with scurrilous claims that the laws actually makes worksites “less safe.” Why is a law that protects injured construction workers so controversial? So, you must be wondering now, what’s the big deal about this Scaffold Law? What makes it so terrifying to builders? First off, it operates as [...]
