The Criminal Side of NY Personal Injury We tend to speak about the dangers involved in negligence cases, and the personal injury that ensues. But there is another aspect to personal injury -- the criminal side. To step back, a skillful injury lawyer may prove that a negligent party owes an injured party compensation for pain and suffering, disabilities, medical care and loss of income. Injuries may include bus accident, brain damage, medical malpractice, and slip and fall. But NY law goes one step further. A negligent party may be guilty of negligent manslaughter and injury. This is the criminal side. Take this well know case of NY City crane collapse in May 2008. Apartment properties were damaged, walls broken, and pedestrians injured. No doubt, personal injury lawsuits ensued. Worst of all, two construction workers were killed. But now comes the second stage. According to the NY Times, NY prosecutors recently charged the crane owner and mechanical engineer with negligent homicide and manslaughter. In our opinion, both aspects of personal injury law help protect citizens from injury. Business owners should be held responsible if they create dangerous conditions for their employees. Where fear of making monetary compensation may fail at deferring, fear of going to jail may succeed. We call it the Right-Left defense of the innocent. That is personal injury lawyer's opinion.

$1 Million -- Failure to Secure Wheelchair on a Bus, Sends Woman onto Floor

03.17.2006

Bronx Supreme Court. On July 19, 2004, Ruth K., a 71 year-old retiree, rode an NYC Transit Authority Access-A-Ride minibus, while sitting in her husband's old wheelchair. The driver drove for a few blocks in the Bronx. A nearby parked car pulled away from curb, and cut off the minibus. The driver suddenly stopped the bus. Ruth went flying onto the floor, fracturing several parts of her body. Ruth sued the bus company, MTA, and the NYC Transit Authority.
