Warehouse workers often injured at work but afraid to report injuries The New York Times reports that a recent study shows 20% of warehouse workers are hurt on the job. The study of warehouse workers includes both temporary and permanent workers and was compiled by the Center for Urban Economic Development. More troubling in the report is that about 33% of those who suffered a work injury did not report their injuries because of fear of losing their jobs. In fact, many of the workers who did report their injuries felt that their supervisors or bosses retaliated against them. Concerned labor lawyers explained the phenomena, saying that some of these laborers don't earn enough money to be able to afford losing their job. There is a hesitancy to make waves at work and so workers bury their work injury and pain. They can't easily walk away from the job and find another one either. In addition, worker's compensation funds can make it difficult for injured workers to receive proper medical care for their injuries. Long and difficult bureaucratic systems make general workers hesitate and scared. Workers comp lawyers have been helpful in advocating for their clients' rights and health. Injured workers are encouraged to seek the advice of an attorney if they feel their rights are being violated. More details on this recent study are available in this article.

Car accident in Brooklyn, New York leaves one man dead and another injured The corner of Park Avenue and Steuben Street in Brooklyn, New York was the site of a deadly motor vehicle accident. One car was involved when it hit the side of a building. The driver of the car was killed and the passenger injured. Both victims were taken by ambulance to New York City hospitals. Concerned area residents report that accidents on this street are common. They wonder if faulty pavement or road construction could be to blame. One local New York lawyer noted that negligence in proper road engineering or even road maintenance could play a roll in a motor vehicle accident. Personal injury lawsuits are common in these situations, he goes on to explain. Whenever there's a car accident with injuries or fatalities an investigation is warranted, he notes. Unfortunately, car crash related deaths continue to rise. A recent deadly car accident just before the Thanksgiving holiday was reported here. Two pedestrians were killed in this NY car accident last summer.

New York Doctors Discuss Defensive vs. Ideal Medicine

08.24.2008

What happens when doctors get worried about their patients suing them, from the very start of the relationship? The issue is complex. On the one hand, fear of lawsuits makes physicians more apprehensive, careful and aware of their actions and inactions. On the other hand, fear of lawsuits may make doctors too careful, and reluctant to aggressively pursue the best course of treatment. Take a look at this article about New York's Mount Kisco doctors, discussing both sides of the coin, and the implications. Thanks to Personal Injury Law News for catching the issue.
