e-scooter accident lawyer

Even before the pandemic, electric bikes (or e-bikes) and scooters had become very popular in New York and elsewhere around the country.

She then died of her head injuries within 10 days. What made the accident even worse was that after this...

What To Do After Degloving Injuries In Motorcycle Accidents

Many motorcyclists dread degloving accident injuries about as much as fractured bones and minor forms of head trauma. This is because when degloving occurs, the rider’s top skin layers are often ripped free from all the underlying connective tissues, muscles, and bones. In addition, life-threatening blood clots can occur during this process – that can affect any body part covered with skin. In most cases, a motorcycle rider’s legs, unprotected arms, and hands, torso, face (and scalp) can be degloved. Clients who were not wearing thick gloves and sturdy boots sometimes suffer degloving damage to their fingers and feet. The following...

Construction Accident at Liberty Island

Although many Americans suffer serious facial fractures due to motor vehicle accidents, a large percentage of them also develop these due to workplace falls. The improper use of ladders, poorly constructed and unstable scaffolding, and inadequate guardrails on construction platforms all contribute to highly painful and sometimes life-threatening facial fracture. While many workers can heal from less complex facial fractures after bad falls, others may have to also cope with traumatic brain injuries and neurological disorders. Depending on the precise type of facial fracture suffered – and the extent to which nearby muscles and nerves were damaged – some workers may...
