Proving Negligence During an Emergency

Robert Wolff August 28, 2015

Emergency medical situations are chaotic, and you know that even if you have never watched any episode of ER or Grey’s Anatomy (though you may have fallen asleep watching the latter show). The medical personnel-doctors and nurses-have to race against time to treat a patient.

Individuals in New York who have a disease called MELAS might be interested to learn that the Chinese Medical Journal has published a study that looks at the current methods of diagnosing the disease.

Gary Silverstein August 26, 2015

For those who have a responsibility to provide safety for construction workers on the job, the processes they face are a lot more complex than most people might think. The average person tends to think about workplace safety in a way that’s similar to what’s shown on television — you see people putting on hard hats and simply strolling onto a job site. In reality, though, providing for public health and safety is a much more difficult and extensive process than just offering hard hats or even other types of personal protective equipment. Evaluating Airborne Worksite Hazards Some types of safety provisions on jobs relate

Reporting Workplace Injuries

Robert Wolff August 24, 2015

Employers in the New York City area have a responsibility to allow workers to file workers’ compensation claims when they are injured in accidents at work. But in many cases, the issue becomes a bit more complex. Injured workers may face significant challenges related to the workers’ compensation claim process. Reporting Standards It’s quite common for employers to have injury reporting standards in place. Like other types of emergency policies, these standards simply work to make the process consistent and keep everything transparent. But in some cases, it may seem that companies are hiding behind their reporting standards. For example, an employer may attempt to

Gary Silverstein August 21, 2015

The tragic loss of a child gets no dignity or monetary damages under New York State’s outdated wrongful death statute. Parents who suffer the tragic loss of a child due to the negligence of another and try to bring a claim for damages are generally shocked at what they are told by their attorneys.

Since there are almost no financial damages to the parents stemming from the loss

Stand Clear of the Closing Doors

Robert Wolff August 19, 2015

Most New York residents understand the chaotic nature of riding the subway. They understand the mad rush down to a platform and onto a train. They understand the careening through tunnels, the push of the crowd inside the car and those awkward times when the train car stops between stations. They also understand the delicate interplay that happens in these systems between riders, as well as what needs to happen to maintain public health and safety. From the suit and tie commuters to performance artists and loitering individuals spending time in stations, there is often an elaborate process that takes place when we step inside
