Personal Injury Claim or Lawsuit? Question Adjusters Hate Series Pick Your Favorite Channel: Apple Podcast | Google Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | RSS Full Transcript: Hi, good afternoon. My name is Arkady Frekhtman and I’m an attorney at the F&A Injury Lawyers here in Brooklyn, New York. Today I want to talk about the number one question that insurance adjusters hate. And there are actually a few different ones, but one of the top questions that insurance adjusters absolutely despise is, “What are your complete bodily injury limits?” And in New York, there’s actually a law, it’s insurance law 3420(f), and we put that code into all of our initial letters of representation that we send to the insurance carriers, notifying them that we are going to be representing a personal injury plaintiff.

What To Do In Case Of Scooter Or Electric Bike Accidents In New York
Even before the pandemic, electric bikes (or e-bikes) and scooters had become very popular in New York and elsewhere around the country. Yet despite the reasonably short learning curve required to ride them safely, electric bike crashes and scooter accidents have become too frequent – and sometimes deadly. In fact, in June of 2021, the popular film and stage actor, Lisa Banes (age 65), died after an careless man on a scooter sped right through a red light before hitting her. She then died of her head injuries within 10 days. What made the accident even worse was that after this man hit Ms. Banes, he fled the scene. Fortunately, he was soon arrested and charged with leaving an accident scene that resulted in death – and failing to yield to a pedestrian. Sadly, the safer sidewalk pleasures many of us recall prior to 9/11 have all but disappeared. If
Construction Worker died in Scaffolding Accident
A 38-year-old man, Miguel Rodriguez died in a scaffolding accident at the Morningside Heights construction site on Thursday. The victim fell five stories to his death when his scaffolding collapsed. He was wearing a safety harness, but it was not tethered to the building. Malik Hussain, 26, who is the owner of Classic Painting & Restoration Inc., told city officials probing the death that there was a rigging foreman present at the Morningside Heights site, a safety measure required by law, the Department of Investigation said. The construction site was being supervised by a bogus foreman, Jinal Patel (aged 23) who lacked the training and certification required to oversee the construction sites. He was arrested for presenting a fake identification card claiming that he was the foreman, despite a lack of training and certification, the department said. Both Hussain and Patel were charged with criminal impersonation, which is punishable by

Most Americans have painful memories of that terrible day when multiple plane hijackings and suicide attacks were carried out by 19 Islamic terrorists.
