Motorcycle Accidents and Personal Injury Claims

Robert Wolff April 9, 2016

They are about 37% effective in preventing death and about 76% effective in preventing injuries of the brain. According to the US Department of Transport, there were 4,612 motorcycle-related deaths in 2011. According to NHTSA, this is a 2% increase over 2010.

Motorcycle fatalities represent roughly 5% of all annual highway fatalities. Avoiding Motorcycle Accidents You can avoid becoming a statistic and avoid motorcycle accidents by practicing safe riding

Drowsy Cab Drivers Pose a Risk to Others on NYC Roadways

Gary Silverstein April 8, 2016

Taxi drivers and other professional drivers are supposed to be restricted by law from working too many hours. Unfortunately, some drivers don’t obey the rules. When a professional driver is on the road too long without rest, the driver can suffer from impairments that make him a danger behind the wheel. Drowsy driving has been demonstrated to have a similar impact on reflexes, reasoning, and judgment as driving under the influence of alcohol. Drowsy drivers are much more likely than well-rested motorists to get into a crash and hurt others. If you were harmed by a tired taxi driver or other fatigued professional driver, it

Robert Wolff April 7, 2016

After-hours construction is supposed to be permitted only in very limited circumstances. In reality, however, more and more after-hours projects are being approved throughout New York City. The NY Post reported that 99 percent of all applications for after-hour construction work were approved last year. Night construction work requires a special variance, and the Buildings Department issued 59,895 of these variances over the course of 2015. Only a total of 142 permits were revoked and only 431 applications for a night work variance were denied. When more construction takes place at night, workers could be extremely tired when performing their work duties. The lack of
