New York is a bicycle- and pedestrian-heavy state, with 1,133 miles of bicycle lanes in New York City alone. Over the last several years, biking has become even more popular in the state of New York, resulting in an increase of bicyclists on the roads. Unfortunately, this can also mean a greater number of accidents. In 2017, 4,397 bicyclists suffered injuries and 24 died throughout all five of New York City’s boroughs. Obeying biking laws can help you avoid collisions.
A bicycle in New York is a two- or three-wheeled human-powered device. Motor-powered bicycles fall under different laws than standard bikes. All bicyclists in the state of New York are subject to the provisions of state and city traffic rules. Laws that apply to motor vehicles and their operators also apply to bicyclists, except where not applicable. Bicycles have a right to the roadways when bicycle lanes are unavailable.
Congestion and odd rules make it difficult for even the most seasoned drivers to navigate New York City, let alone for a tourist or novice
Construction workers provide an invaluable service to the city. By maintaining buildings, completing renovations, and making new structures, construction workers keep our vibrant city running smoothly. Unfortunately, construction is one of the nation’s deadliest professions. Workers are prone to injury from falls, heavy machinery, exposure to the elements, and more. By understanding the procedures that follow a construction accident, you’ll be better able to protect any right to compensation you may have. If you or a loved one was recently injured on the job, speak to a New York City construction accident lawyer to find out how we can help.
In many cases, the workers’ compensation system will be the first avenue of recourse for an injured construction worker. The state of New York requires that most employers carry workers’ compensation insurance, which should kick in, in the event of workplace accident. This no-fault system allows injured workers to collect compensation for medical bills and missed work, regardless of who was at fault for the accident. This can be a valuable resource for injured construction workers, but it also requires following certain procedures.
The New York Building Congress recently released a report titled “2018-2020 New York City Construction Outlook,” in which the organization states that construction projects in the city set a record high this year. The report projects that the city’s spending on construction for 2018 will reach $61.8 billion, as compared to $49.3 billion in 2017. If you receive injuries on a construction site or because of a construction project, you deserve fair compensation for pain and suffering, property damage, and other losses. Contact our seasoned New York City construction accident attorneys at Rosenberg, Minc, Falkoff, & Wolff, LLP. We can help you navigate workers’ compensation or personal injury lawsuits and recovering damages in an accident’s aftermath.
