Is it worth hiring a personal injury attorney? People who are injured in an accident suddenly find themselves in a weakened state facing mounting medical bills, and lost wages from time taken off work to recover from their injuries. In some cases they face substantial repair bills for damage to their automobile. Injuries can occur from many different types of accidents; however, they often occur from pedestrian, car, bicycle, and premises liability accidents. Having a personal injury attorney on your side to deal with the insurance companies, help you navigate the claims process, and ensure that you are fully compensated is well worth it. Personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee, which means they won't get paid unless they recover money for you, and are paid out of what they recover. Personal injury law is complex, with each state having its specific laws Navigating the complex legal issues of your claim after an accident is not easy for the average person. It is best suited for an experienced personal injury attorney. Having a deep knowledge of state and federal personal injury laws is necessary when filing and handling a personal injury claim. The insurance company's interest is directly at odds with those of the injured party Insurance companies seek to protect their bottom line and will often deny claims or dispute damages for a host of reasons that may or may not be valid. If they do pay a claim, they will usually seek to pay out as little as possible. The insurance company’s goal is to protect its own financial interests while minimizing the claimant's injuries and damages. Personal injury attorneys often recover much larger settlements than self-represented individuals. When a claimant is self-represented, the insurance company knows that it has the upper hand in negotiations with its many experienced claims adjusters and lawyers. It is undoubtedly a mistake to think that you will come out better off through self-representation in a personal injury claim. A study by the Insurance Research Institute indicated that the average person who has legal representation receives a settlement 3.5 times larger than those without legal representation. Personal injury attorneys usually work on a contingency fee basis. Experienced personal injury attorneys usually work on a contingency fee arrangement. A contingency fee means they will take a pre-agreed percentage of any recovery without any payment upfront from the injured party. If there is no recovery, you will pay no fee. Personal injury attorneys have a deep knowledge of the law. They know how to recover proper compensation for those who have been injured by the fault of others. A personal injury attorney will adequately prepare your personal injury claim and will negotiate with the insurance company from a position of strength, ensuring that you are properly compensated for your injuries. Compensation for all of your injuries, pain and suffering A personal injury attorney will investigate the accident and fully understand your injuries, including the prospect for a full recovery. Your personal injury attorney will know if your “minor injuries" are, in fact, more severe and could turn into a lifelong disability and the actual financial value of your injuries. Your personal injury attorney will know the steps to take to maximize your monetary recovery, including the full spectrum of damages to which you are entitled. These damages include; pain, suffering, and emotional distress, which can make up a substantial portion of your financial recovery.

Are contractors responsible for the impacts of their work on neighboring residents? Oftentimes, they are. This is especially true in densely populated urban areas where literally hundreds of people could be affected by a project only fifty feet away. Some of the principles in these cases are outlined below. Excavation activities are often the cause of damage to neighboring structures. New York courts have recognized this principle since the matter of Knapp v. Cirillo (1954). In this case, it was held that those who excavate upon their own land are not responsible for damage to structures located on neighboring properties, so long as the excavations are done with ordinary care.

Under New York construction law, much emphasis is placed on the “improvement” of real property (real estate). Indeed reference to improvements are often found in New York construction contracts, and establishing an improvement is required for a contractor to establish a valid lien on a privately owned project. But what specifically are the ins and outs? For a party to be eligible for lien rights in New York, their labor must have improved the real property, pursuant to §3, New York Lien Law. The Lien Law defines improvement as “the demolition, erection, alteration or repair of any structure upon, connected with, or beneath the surface of, any real property and any work done upon such property or materials furnished for its permanent improvement.”[i] (emphasis added).

Is the prompt payment act at odds with public policy? In both general litigation and construction litigation, courts generally give parties great freedom to contract. Thus, New York’s policy is to enforce arbitration agreements in construction contracts.[i] Conversely, New York courts do not usually force parties into arbitration unless their contract expressly requires it.[ii]

Governor Kathy Hochul today joined the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to take a special Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) test train to Grand Central Terminal and gave the public one of the first-ever looks at the new 350,000-square-foot East Side Access passenger terminal there. This is the largest new train terminal to be built in the United States since the 1950s and the first expansion of the LIRR in more than 100 years. Together with the LIRR third track project, the new connection will add 50 percent to the LIRR’s capacity into Manhattan with up to 24 trains per hour and cut travel time for Queens and Long Island commuters traveling to the east side by 40 minutes per day. It will also reduce crowding on commuter rail, at Penn Station and on the subway by dispersing commuters and allowing passengers to go directly to Grand Central Terminal from destinations across Queens and Long Island. The new commuter rail route and concourse officially open in December 2022.
