With Spring Here, Bicycle and Pedestrian Knockdowns are Common
While spring is a beautiful season, it can also be very dangerous. During this season a lot of people get injured on the road. As the temperatures begin to rise, New Yorkers start spending more time outdoors, walking, jogging, biking, etc. Whilst you are enjoying these activities, it is important to be cautious. However, you being cautious might not always save you from injuries; you might get injured due to another’s negligence too. During spring, the number of Bicycle and Pedestrian knockdowns increase and therefore are the most common ways in which people suffer injuries. Bicycle Accidents After a long winter, there are many people who look forward to taking their bicycles out of their garages. New York City has thousands of miles of designated bicycle lanes but when bicycles ride alongside cars, SUVs, trucks and taxis, the risk of bicycle accidents can significantly increase. For a bicycle accident, all it takes is a distracted, careless and inattentive driver. Every motorist needs to be cognizant that they are sharing the road with cyclists. A single wrong move can change the motorist’s and cyclist’s life forever. If you have been injured in a bicycle accident caused by the negligence of a driver, then they will be held responsible for your lost work hours, unreimbursed medical expenses and the pain & suffering in a personal injury lawsuit. Pedestrian Accidents Unfortunately, New York City is a crowded and chaotic place where pedestrians getting injured are not at all uncommon. Furthermore, when such accidents involve bikers, cars or heavy vehicles, the injuries can be serious or even fatal in the worst cases. It has been observed that pedestrian accidents rise during the springtime. A pedestrian knockdown can occur when a person is simply walking on the road, crossing the road in a crosswalk, jogging on the sidewalk or even when waiting for the right of way. The cause of accidents could be, not paying attention to your surroundings when walking on the road. Many pedestrians are distracted by their phones when crossing the street which leads to serious accidents. Pedestrian accidents can occur during any time of the day but walking or jogging without a reflective gear after the sun is down can be particularly hazardous. Such knockdown injuries can be very serious and can include permanent disability, traumatic brain injury, paralysis, disfigurement or even fatality. In cases where you or your known has been knocked down by a negligent driver, the driver will be held accountable for the non-economic and economic damages which they caused you to go through in connection with your injuries.

The Common Types of Construction Accidents
Every single day thousands of construction workers go to work without fail even after being well aware of the potential dangers that they may encounter during their course of duties. At the construction sites, there are heavy machineries, large objects and work at a dangerous height. One wrong move or a moment of negligence can cause serious injuries or even death of a construction worker. Employers and supervisors are expected to ensure the safety of these construction sites but unfortunately many times the employers put profits ahead of safety which leads to tragic consequences. Those who are suffering in an aftermath of construction accidents should get in touch with a personal injury lawyer in New York. Types of Construction Accidents Construction accidents can be prevented well in time if the building owners and contractors take the time out to correct the problematic areas. Let us take a look at some of the common leading causes or types of construction accidents. Falls Very often on a construction project that involves elevated heights the employers and homeowners neglect safety measures and training for the workers. Fall hazards are undoubtedly the most common type of construction accidents in New York. Whether it is a ladder fall or the worker trips off a beam much above the ground, the injuries suffered are very serious and life-altering. Even if a fall happens due to unburied wires or other objects that should not be on the ground the worker is eligible for a lawsuit. Electrocutions Electrocution accidents on the New York construction sites occur due to damaged equipments, wet conditions, improper grounding, faulty wirings, and working too close to the power wires. An electrical accident may result in shock, burns and even electrocution. Such accidents can burn the skin and severely damage the internal organs which could have fatal results. Struck by an Object New York labor laws include a Scaffolding Law which offers positive verdicts and settlements to all those workers who have suffered injuries from faulty scaffolding. “Struck by” construction accidents include equipment malfunction, falling objects, rigging failures and loose or shifting materials. In all such cases, the scaffolding law holds the general contractor, employer or even the property owner liable for the suffering and pain caused to the worker injured as long as the accident case involved a difference in elevation. Anyone who has been unfortunate enough to be caught in a faulty scaffolding structure should fight for compensation. Caught Between/In There are times when the workers at a construction site get trapped between machinery or two heavy objects. The worker may be crushed, squeezed, pinched or compressed between objects and be unable to free themselves without the help of another person. There are also chances that the worker gets caught underneath a falling object. Such a situation can cause most common injuries such as amputation, spinal cord injuries, paralysis and even fatalities. A personal injury attorney can study your case and investigate the circumstances and fight for compensation for the victims in a lawsuit. Sadly, New York worksites encounter such construction accidents every now and then. Such accidents can be avoided if the property owners, contractors or employers take the proper safety measures for their workers. There is negligence on the part of the employers which is why they should be held responsible when such an incident occurs. We at Siler & Ingber understand the excruciating pain that the person injured and their family member experience. Our attorneys investigate each case meticulously and determine any reckless decisions or negligence which may have led to the accident. Get in touch today to get sound legal advice.
Types of Premises Cases
There must have been times that you got yourself injured while you were at a grocery store, went to the mall for shopping, visited someone at the hospital etc. Did you know that you can claim compensation after such injuries? ‘Premises liability’ is a law in New York that deals with injuries occurred due to unsafe conditions on someone else’s property. This law means that the building owner has failed in his/her duty to keep the property safe for guests, visitors and residents. If you or someone known has been injured due to the hidden dangers on the premises of someone else’s home, at work, in a store, or anywhere else, you should talk to an attorney today. Types of Accidents on Dangerous Premises The property owners owe it to the visitors or guests that their building and land are free from any kind of dangers. They are expected to check their property and review it for any kind of potential dangers. In case a danger is found by them, they need to either get it repaired or warn the guests to watch out for the danger. If they are negligent and you end up getting injured you shall be compensated for the wages missed because of the injury, medical expenses and even direct compensation for your pain and suffering. Let’s have a look at a few types of premises cases:- Stairway Accidents A lot of stairway injuries happen due to broken or wobbly handrails or uneven stairs. A damaged step can cause a person to trip or snag their foot on the edge. This kind of a sudden fall can cause severe injuries. There are accidents that occur due to railings on the staircases as well. Broken or weak railings can cause a fall from multiple stories which could lead to dangerous injuries; in worst cases, it can even be fatal. Sharp, Broken or Falling Objects Broken doorknobs, broken glass windows, collapsing chairs, etc can cause severe injuries. Sometimes you might also get injured by a sharp falling object that can cause deep cuts located in sensitive areas such as the face or near a vein or an artery. Slippery and Wet Floors You must have often come across those yellow signs in airport bathrooms or in malls or grocery stores that warn of wet floors. These signs are put so that guests are careful and do not end up slipping on the wet floor. Slip or fall on the wet floor can cause back or spine injuries and if at all you hit your head on the floor, you might even suffer from traumatic brain injury. Spilled drinks in bars or in restaurants are also responsible for many injuries. In many cases where there are no caution signs or where the sign was poorly placed you may still sue the property owner. If you were injured due to the negligence in maintaining a property, you should not be the one paying for those medical bills. If you or someone in your known has been injured on someone else’s property, get in touch with the expert attorneys at Siler & Ingber. The Personal injury lawyers here will represent the injured victims in a lawsuit against the irresponsible land owners and others who caused the injuries and get you compensation through a premises liability lawsui

Which regions of New York are the Most Dangerous for Pedestrians and Why?
While walking on the streets of New York City, you got to be extra cautious. It is no secret that New York is a fast-paced city. To match up with the city’s pace, you need to be on your toes all the time. This city is known to never sleep, which is why you need to be fully alert whenever you are walking on the streets. It has been observed that more than a quarter of all the traffic-related injuries & fatalities in the city of New York are suffered by pedestrians. Let’s have a look at some data that has been collected and compiled from the New York City Police Department’s database (NYPD):- Brooklyn The city of Brooklyn stands at the top and has been marked as the most dangerous city for pedestrians in New York. If we look at the stats, about one-third, 33.2% pedestrian accidents in New York take place in Brooklyn. Queens Next up is Queens. It accounts for 24.98% of injuries and fatalities in NYC Manhattan Manhattan is at position 3 and accounts for 21% of pedestrian accidents in New York The Bronx Not far behind at no 4 is The Bronx. 17.3% of pedestrian fatalities/accidents occur there. There are countless factors that could cause a pedestrian accident in New York- be it the risky street conditions or the negligent motorists. No matter what caused the accident, it sure can have a tremendous impact on the life of the victim. If you have been in a pedestrian accident, then you are entitled to some kind of compensation. Attempting to seek compensation on your own can backfire. For this, you will need to get in touch with a personal injury lawyer who will guide you properly in your pursuit of righteousness and justice. Here we have listed some contributing factors to the increasing pedestrian accidents in New York City:- Speed of the Vehicle Many pedestrians are hit because of this major reason. The drivers sometimes don’t realise their rash driving behaviour is putting all the pedestrians at risk. High speeds do not give enough time to the driver or to the pedestrian to avoid the crash. Distracted driving With the increased cell phone usage, more and more drivers are driving distracted. A distracted driver would not be able to control his/her vehicle in time to avoid crashing into a pedestrian crossing or running down the street. Absence of sidewalks There are many streets in New York that do not have a sidewalk at all. On such streets, the pedestrians are forced to walk on the road. If the road is narrow, chances are that the pedestrian might get hit by a motorist from behind. Poor Timing Some of the crossing signals in New York have very less time for the pedestrians to cross. In such situations, certain groups of pedestrians like the elderly do not have enough time to cross over completely before the traffic starts again. Drivers in haste miss out the pedestrian still crossing and then crash into them causing dreadful injuries or this could even be fatal for the pedestrian. Contact an experienced New York Pedestrian Accident Attorney Traffic collisions involving pedestrians could be life-threatening. They could cause lost income, decreased quality of life and even heavy medical bills. You can recover all of this as compensation with the help of the best personal injury attorneys, Siler & Ingber.

Is it Always the Truck Driver’s Fault in a Truck Accident in New York?
It is not always the truck drivers who are responsible for truck accidents that occur on the road. There may be many other reasons for an accident. It is at times that a truck driver sitting behind the wheel commits an error that leads to an accident, however, in other scenarios, the trucker might not have done anything wrong and still, an accident would have occurred. Perhaps, in such a situation it was the company that owned the truck that made the error, which makes the owner liable for your damage and injuries. Road accidents involving trucks can quickly become disastrous, causing lifelong injuries, property damage, and even fatalities. Trucks have a large size, carry massive weight and their 18 wheels make them absolutely difficult to handle and avoid. Trucks and truck drivers are at great risk themselves when they are on the road but it is also the drivers and passengers of the small vehicles that suffer the consequences. Let’s take a look at the common causes of truck-related accidents that happen in New York:- Illegal License To drive a truck in New York the truck drivers need to have a commercial driver’s license to operate legally in each state. For a trucker to hold a legal license they need to:- Be 18 years and older Be relatively physically fit Hold New York driver’s license Have an adequate and good vision and recognize the colors of the Traffic Light If a truck company hires someone who doesn’t have a valid commercial driver’s license, then in an accident situation the liability is on the trucking company’s part. Overloading of truck While driving on the road at times you also must have come across some trucks that seem loaded more than their actual capacity. At times the company that owns the trucks violates laws regarding the maximum weight the trucks can carry. The driver may be completely unaware of the overload. If overloading has caused the accident or the truck crash then the truck company is to be held responsible. 80,000 pounds is the weight limit for large trucks in New York. The New York truck accident lawyer understands these rules and regulations and will apply them to your case if at all you or someone you know has been in an accident with a truck. Improper Maintenance Every truck company has people for the maintenance of their trucks. In case of an accident that is caused due to failed brakes or any other technical issue of the truck, then it may indicate a fault on the mechanic team’s part. If a faulty part created by a manufacturer has been installed in the truck that leads to the accident then it is the manufacturer who is at fault. Improper Loading The way a truck is loaded makes a huge difference in maintaining the balance of the truck. If improper loading of the truck has been done, the cargo will experience a shift during a turn, making the driver lose control and crash into a car / other vehicles. In a crash like this, it is not the driver’s fault as he or she wasn’t involved the loading of cargo. We, Will, Find out Who is Liable for Your Truck Accident The New York Truck Accident Lawyer Siler & Ingber are all set to investigate your case and determine whose fault it is. We give it our best shot for all our cases and aim at winning the personal injury claim related to the truck accident for you.

T- Bone Accidents – New York Lawyers
T- Bone accident occurs when the front end of one vehicle crashes into one side of the other vehicle. These two vehicles collide perpendicularly, resembling the letter T; hence it is called a T- Bone accident. These kinds of accidents are also commonly called broadside or side-impact crashes. Accidents like these are often caused due to negligent actions or reckless driving and can result in severe injury or death. You are entitled to compensation for your injuries for which you will need the help of a car accident lawyer. How are T-Bone Crashes Extremely Dangerous? It is mostly at the intersections that the T-Bone accidents occur. It can often involve more than two vehicles as there is a high risk of a follow-up collision that can lead to further injury. It is not very uncommon in T-Bone collisions to push the vehicles into the oncoming traffic, into guardrails, off the road or even into other structures. These kinds of collisions are deadlier than rear-end or head-on collisions. Another reason for such accidents/crashes being fatal is that the safety features on the side of the vehicle are fewer, making the passengers in the car particularly vulnerable to a catastrophic injury or death in a side impact. Many new vehicles now are equipped with side airbags but these airbags are not strong enough to withstand the forceful blow of a side collision. A T-Bone accident can change your life and leave you scarred for life in mere moments. Even a small injury can keep you in the hospital for a long, affecting your work life, finances, etc and causing a lot of pain, distress, and substantial medical expense. What should you do after the T-Bone Collision? If you wish to file a claim with the car accident lawyer for your injuries in a T-Bone accident, you need to prove someone else’s negligence which requires strong evidence. The important information should be taken from the scene of the accident. The information should include:- Time, date, and exact location of the collision. Details regarding the direction of your car and the lane you were driving in Contact information of the other car driver with their car details. Pictures of the scene, injuries if any, and any other property damage. Contact information of witnesses. Traffic and weather conditions at the time of the collision. In the state of New York if you are even partly at fault, in that situation also you still have the right eligible for compensation.

Some Common Injuries That You Can Avoid During the Spring Season.
Some Common Injuries That You Can Avoid During the Spring Season. Winters are gone and now the weather is starting to warm up a little. Everyone is excited to move outdoors again for fun activities. Besides fun, many people take this opportunity of good weather to fix up the part of their homes that had gone unattended during the cold months. Unfortunately, time spent gardening, at the playground or even on a vacation during the spring months can lead to dangerous injuries. You can avoid trips to the emergency room if you follow these essential spring safety tips. Car Accidents It has been observed that the rate of car accidents increases during the spring months, and this occurs because of:- Potholes Even though the snow and ice are gone, the winters have left their mark on the roads. During the winter months, plows are often used to remove snow and ice from the roads. During the process of snow/ice removal, the plow can gauge out chunks of roads. Even freezing and thawing of the road can contract concrete, resulting in massive potholes. During the cold months, snow and ice are filled inside the potholes, hence not affecting the drivers of their presence. Once the snow starts to melt, the deep holes are exposed which can cause significant damage to cars and can also contribute to some major accidents. Wet Weather The showers during the spring often bring dangerous road conditions. Those driving on these wet roads should be aware of the wet weather and its potential hazards on the road. The light showers in the spring can make the roads slippery. Sometimes during spring heavier precipitation can cause flooding on the roads and also loosen the debris on the sides of the road. Driving too fast in such road conditions can be very disastrous for you and your loved ones. Drivers need to take extra precautions while driving in the slippery springtime road conditions. House Work Home Maintenance As the weather gets better during the spring, everyone starts the maintenance of their homes. Some climb up the ladders to repair their roofs, some begin to mow their lawns, all these activities can lead to injuries if not carried out carefully. A lawnmower can cause cuts on the hands or feet and also burns. Before using the lawnmower, make sure the loose parts of the machine have been fixed, the blades are clean and the garden has no objects lying around. Outside home maintenance can be a daunting task but for how long can you skip it. Many homeowners use this pleasant warm weather for it. Some get so carried away with this whole task that they end up breaking their bones by falling or slipping, endure cuts etc. Before climbing a ladder always make sure that it is in a good condition and has not undergone weathering, otherwise all of the spring you will be spending in the hospital. Exercise Injuries in the Gym Beach season is just around the corner and many of us feel the need to shed those extra Kgs that we gained during the winters. Proper training by experts is very important because before beginning intense exercise, you need to prep your body. Without proper guidance and not knowing how to use the gym equipment properly you might end up with muscle pulls, ligament tears or even an injury that would stay with you for a lifetime. Treadmill Injuries Many of us have treadmills at home. As the weather improves the use of the home equipment also increases. The treadmill is very useful equipment, but it can cause major injuries. Cases of faulty treadmills have been heard where a child has been dragged under the treadmill causing his death. Don’t let your kids or pets near the treadmill as they are the ones who are more likely to get injured by it. As lovely as spring is, it brings with it some risks of injuries. Be careful and aware this spring. If at all you or someone you know has suffered from a personal injury due to the negligence of someone else, then Siler & Ingber are here to your rescue. They are the Personal Injury lawyers who can get you the compensation your rightfully deserve for your injuries. Why should you suffer because of someone else’s blunder?

Peloton Treadmill Death & Injury – Take Siler & Ingber Attorneys’ Help
Over the past decade, home gyms have gained immense popularity. Treadmills and exercise bikes are most associated with at-home injuries. Studies have found that at-home exercise injuries that resulted in a visit to the emergency room increased by more than 48% from 2019 to 2020. Half of all injuries occur when using the equipment, while other injuries occur when people fall into the equipment or when they come in contact with moving parts of the equipment. It has been estimated that every year, around 8700 injuries from home exercise equipment occurs in children in the United States. Sprains, strains followed by abrasions, contractions & fractures are most common in adults. Among children, abrasions, and contusions are very common and can also be followed by laceration or internal organ injury. Children fall near or while on a treadmill all the time. This was the unfortunate circumstance of the 6-year-old child that died after being pulled under the Peloton Tread+ treadmill. Peloton recalled its Tread+ and Tread treadmills after the U.S Consumer Product Safety (CPSC) released an ‘urgent warning’ about the potential dangers of the Peloton treadmills. These machines we tagged ‘dangerous’ as they were linked to the death of a child and have caused injuries to 29 others. The Peloton CEO John Foley has apologized for the recall of these machines and has offered a full refund for the treadmills which cost $4,295. The warning and recall request issued by the commission was due to 72 reports received by them of pets, children and other objects being pulled under the treadmill. 29 out of those 79 cases involved children who got cuts, broken bones and brain injuries. There was a video that surfaced on YouTube which showed a child being pulled from under a Peloton treadmill. For all of those who own a Peloton Treadmill and wish to continue using it, the company is here with a new feature called Tread Lock that locks the machine if it hasn’t been used for 45 seconds. To use the machine again you will have to enter a 4 digit passcode. This software update was made after Peloton recalled its treadmills. Along with this feature, the company has requested all its users to put their treadmills in a locked room. If you are someone or know that person who got injured because of a Peloton or any other treadmill, please get in touch with Siler & Ingber’s team of defective product attorneys. They will ensure that any clients with genuine treadmill injuries get compensation.
