Traumatic Brain Injuries from Motorbike Accidents: Seeking Timely Medical Treatment

new-york-brain-injur-attorney

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...

Safer Cycling in the Bronx: Reducing Bicycle Accidents and Preventing Injuries and Fatalities

Bicycle Accidents Increase

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...

The distracted drivers of these vehicles also tend to ignore traffic signals, bike lane restrictions, and the need to yield to others. During one recent year, nineteen (19) bicyclists and fifteen (15) moped or e-bike riders lost their lives while pedaling down New York City streets. Statistics also revealed that 1,200 bicycles, e-bike, and e-scooter riders suffered serious injuries. Unfortunately, over 990 of those 1,200 injured were bicyclists. Now that...

Scaffolding Accidents: Who Is Responsible and What Can You Do?

slip and fall new york

Compensation for Victims of Trip and Fall Accidents at Brooklyn Construction Sites While most slips, trips, and falls on construction sites involve workers falling from scaffolding or other high places, other deadly “falls” may simply involve tools and equipment falling and seriously hurting or even killing someone. At present, Brooklyn construction workers keep suffering too many of these types of fall injury accidents. Construction site supervisors must make sure that all OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) standards are upheld daily, along with all state and local guidelines. Proper PPE (personal protective equipment) must be mandatory, and every worker should be required...

What is the liability for trench collapse accidents at construction sites and who can be held responsible?

cause-of-trench-accident

The year 2022 proved unusually catastrophic for trench workers on American construction sites. By late November, thirty-five deaths had already occurred. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) immediately shared this data with the public. That figure was twice as high as the previous year’s total of seventeen (17) trench-related fatalities. Contact our team at (212) 222-1111 for your free case evaluation. One industry publication has stated that 2022 may turn out to be the deadliest trench collapse year during the last decade. When construction site employees are seriously injured or lose their lives doing this type of work, our Queens...

Diagnostic Testing For Traumatic Brain Injury

Although serious head injuries occur in many ways, our firm often meets clients who have just survived a pedestrian accident, a major workplace fall, or a motor vehicle collision. Once we accept new cases, we fight hard to win each lawsuit so clients can afford all the medical care they require to heal, adjust and move forward with their lives. Experts suggest that somewhere between thirty percent (30%) to eighty-four percent (84%) of head injury patients develop sleep disorders after their accidents. Others place that figure just below fifty percent (50%). Unfortunately, many doctors forget to inform patients that they should carefully...
