Midtown Manhattan Motorbike Accident: Uncover Your Legal Rights & Maximize Compensation Today!
Understanding Your Legal Rights After a Motorbike Accident in Manhattan’s Midtown If you drive within the speed limit, you can often enjoy riding your motorbike through Midtown Manhattan. While Times Square offers some great people-watching, you can also meet friends for an excellent meal in an area restaurant. During other visits, after you’ve found a safe place to park, you can either catch a Radio City Music Hall performance or check to see if any TV shows are being taped in Rockefeller Center. Cautious riding is crucial since at least one government study has revealed that the motorcyclist fatality rate within New York City is twice as high as it is for those riding elsewhere in this state. Always be sure to wear a brightly colored helmet or jacket since high traffic visibility can help save your life. Contact our team at (212) 222-1111 for your free case evaluation. What
EP 01 S 09: Do I Have To Wait To Settle? #ShortCast
Rear-Ended at Red Light: Liability Explained and do we have to wait to settle? Pick Your Favorite Channel: Apple Podcast | Google Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | RSS SUMMARY: In this shortcast, the host of Trial Stories, Arkady Frekhtman, responds to a listener’s question about settling a personal injury case. The listener and their girlfriend were rear-ended by a truck while stopped at a red light, and the liability is clear. The listener’s girlfriend has finished her treatment, but the listener is still receiving medical treatment. Arcadia advises that each person can settle at different times, as they are both going against the truck’s insurance and are united in interest. The girlfriend can settle her case if her injuries are valued and the lawyer feels it is right for settlement, and the listener can settle later on after they finish their treatment. There is no need for either person
Traumatic Brain Injuries from Motorbike Accidents: Seeking Timely Medical Treatment
Far too often, people injured in Brooklyn motorbike accidents assume that immediate medical treatment is only required for visible injuries like a fractured arm or leg or severe cuts and lacerations. However, even a brief blow to your head after being hit by a car and falling to the ground can cause a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Emergency room physicians are trained to look for less obvious signs of concussions and much more damaging head injuries. If you go straight home, you’ll miss out on the diagnostic X-rays, MRIs, and other tests that can save your life. Internal organ injuries can also be missed if you’re not carefully examined right away. And once you file a lawsuit to recover compensation for all your injuries, your case will be greatly strengthened by having ER medical records that fully document all that you suffered on that day.

Safer Cycling in the Bronx: Reducing Bicycle Accidents and Preventing Injuries and Fatalities
Since serious bicycle accidents keep occurring regularly in the Bronx and elsewhere in New York City, many safety activists, cyclists, and others are demanding that city planners do even more to protect urban bicycling. There are no logical excuses for viewing life-altering bike accident tragedies as mere byproducts of living in congested metropolitan areas. Although pleasure riding is common in the Bronx, many residents choose to commute daily to and from work on bicycles – or use them while making job deliveries. In our lopsided economy, even used cars and trucks have become too expensive for many workers. Also, motor vehicles are often less convenient while navigating clogged streets and searching for the few available parking spaces. Contact our team at (212) 222-1111 for your free case evaluation. The following materials include useful statistics, special ways that Bronx cyclists can increase their riding safety, and a closer look at how
