New York Elevator Accident Update
Accident Alert: It was just reported by the New York Post regarding the elevator accident in midtown NYC which killed an advertising executive that NYC Inspectors determined a recent maintenance repair may have played a factor in the accident. The accident occurring at 285 Madison Avenue resulted in Inspectors making a sweep of hundreds of elevators throughout New York City. An elevator personal injury accident case can be difficult to prove if the building owner or elevator company was not given notice of a problem. However, if the elevator company through negligent maintenance or a negligent work repair causes the accident, that would be sufficient to prove liability.
Police – to protect us or to harm us ?
Forced to Walk to his Death by NYC Police
If the litigation allegations reported in the AM paper today about a NYC police officer forcing or coercing an elderly man to walk home to get his driver’s license in blizzard like weather, resulting in his death, then this is not only negligence and a civil rights violation, but reckless conduct. The result is a tragedy. Abuse of police authority is a serious matter. The public pays the salaries of police officers to protect us, not harm us. The first thing as a Manhattan personal injury trial lawyer that comes to mind is what was the age of the police officer who allegedly committed this act? It is less likely that an experienced officer in his 40s or over would commit such an act. However, some of the younger police officers may be too quick to make decisions that are contrary to common sense. Unfortunately, it almost always takes a civil lawsuit to correct and prevent negligent conduct.

Alert – NY Stateway Accident
The New York State Thruway reports several morning accidents including one that briefly closed the east and westbound lanes near Rochester today. These motor vehicle accidents are likely due to theicy road conditions affecting the area. Even during poor weather, accidents can be avoided if drivers pay close attention to the road conditions. Driving with the headlights on, keeping an extra safe distance between cars, and driving at a reduced speed can help to avoid an accident.
As a Manhattan personal injury attorney, I see many car accidents that cause disabling injuries to my clients. Important evidence to help prove negligence against the defendant driver is a picture taken at the accident scene. Almost all cell phones today have a camera and if the victim or passenger is able to take photographs of the roadway and all the vehicles involved, showing all sides of the car, this can be invaluable evidence to prove how the accident occurred.
Elevator Accidents in New York from Negligent Maintenance
Elevator Accidents almost always are from the fault of the elevator company failing to maintain their elevators in proper working condition. In addition to regular maintenance, NYC elevators must be inspected and tested at least once a year. The injuries from elevator accidents can be devastating. An accident where the elevator doors open and no elevator car is present has resulted in people falling to their deaths. An accident where an elevator car drops with passengers inside is a rare occurrence since there are multiple safety mechanisms to prevent such accidents. When such an accident occurs, it is almost always the result of negligence on the part of the elevator company, building maintenance company, and building owner in failing to properly maintain the elevator in a safe working condition.

Often times, brain injury can lead to coma, seizures, memory problems, amnesia, loss of speech, hearing, seeing, motor functions and much more.
Medical Malpractice New York
The medical liability system has for its the purpose the compensation of the negligently injured, and the prevention of the negligent behaviour by health care professionals. The tort system allows persons who suffered injury through the negligence of their health care provider to seek compensation for their damages through litigation. On the other hand, the negligent behavior is prevented by making the negligent party shoulder the burden of the award. Generally, there are four elements needed to prove a medical malpractice claim:

WALL STREET, THE NYPD, AND FIXING THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM
By Brett J. Nomberg, Esq.
“TRAINING DAY” MOVIE SEEMS LIKE REALITY IN NYC
According to the Daily News watching over the criminal trial of Brooklyn South narcotics Detective Jason Arbeeny, testimony has revealed a systemic pattern of corruption within the Police Department . NYPD detectives have been making false arrests to make their quota. “NYPD supervisors paid detectives for hard-drug busts, creating a covert reward system for cocaine and heroin arrests.” Stephen Anderson, a former NYPD detective was testifying for the prosecution about the crimes he and other detectives committed for profit.
“So giving you overtime for a crack cocaine arrest is a reward for the nature of the crime … would that be a fair statement?” asked Justice Gustin Reichbach. “Yes, that’s fair to say,” Anderson testified.
