• DUI/DWI
• Wrongful Death
  As you look around New York, the increase in the construction and remodeling of office buildings, shopping centers, schools, places of worship, medical centers, parking decks, transit centers and infrastructure projects is steadily increasing. These construction projects often involve the use of scaffolds, including Baker Scaffold, Mobile Scaffolds, Stationary Scaffolds, Special Scaffolds, Swinging or Suspended Scaffolds, Pipe Scaffolds, Boatswains’s Chairs, Single-Point Scaffolds, ladders, cranes, and of course safety equipment, each which, if not utilized properly, can provide many opportunities for construction workers to get hurt, while working, causing serious personal injuries, and wrongful death. The New York construction industry employs a multitude of trades people and laborers, who often work from scaffolds and ladders, including painters, welders, electrical pole workers, carpenters, heavy equipment operators, electricians, pipefitters, roofers, and structural iron and steel workers. These construction contractors and workers are required to acquire licenses, permits, and safety training, and to adhere to certain safety rules and regulations on the job site, including those set forth in New York Labor Law Section 240, which is designed to protect workers from being hurt while working on scaffolds and ladders from heights, which safety laws are not properly followed, cause often result in worker physical injury, including catastrophic brain, neck, and spinal cord injuries, and sometimes, even death.
• Traffic Violations
  Train Accidents, including those Trains regulated by the Mass Transit Association (MTA), including NYC Subways, Metro-North, and the Long Island Railroad (LIRR), or the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), often cause catastrophic injuries to their passengers when the conductor improperly operates the Train. Due to the Trains large size, whenever an accident happens a lot of damage results, even when the train is not speeding. We also represent pedestrians who get seriously injured at the train station, while on subway or train platforms As a result of the Train accident, passengers sometimes sustain life-altering injuries, such as severe lacerations, broken bones, head neck and spine injuries including brain damage, amputations, and burns. Unfortunately, all to often, some railroad and subway trains are traveling at an excessive rate of speed, when a driver gets distracted or falls asleep, or a mechanical error occurs, and their Train, filled with passengers, gets derailed or crashes into another train, vehicle or object. These types of Train accidents can, and often do prove fatal to some passengers who are not utilizing seatbelts, but rather standing, as all seats are occupied.

Property Law

• Premises Liability
  If you or a family member has been injured due to an elevator or escalator related accident, because property owners did not meet their obligations to ensure your safety when they knew or should have known that a dangerous condition existed on the elevator or escalator, and they failed to correct it, they are liable for the injuries that you sustained as a result of the defective or otherwise improperly maintained elevator or escalator. The Brooklyn law firm of Bisogno & Meyerson, LLP can help you receive the compensation you need for your medical expenses, loss of income and loss of future earning capacity, pain and suffering, and more, for the elevator or escalator related injuries. Slipping and falling on an elevator or escalator or on a wet spot, or tripping over uneven or damaged escalator stairs, or torn carpet in an elevator, improperly functioning and maintained escalators and elevators, are among the most common types of elevator or escalator related premises liability accidents.
• Property Damage
  Tax Cab Passenger Injury and Pedestrian Accident Claims New York City’s Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) requires that all yellow (medallion) taxi cabs and all licensed car services carry a minimum of $100,000.00/$300,000.00 in liability insurance coverage. This means that any one (1) person, when injured or killed in a taxi cab or other vehicle regulated under the NYC TLC, they, or their loved ones, have a maximum of One Million Dollars in liability insurance available to them. Often, there is more than one person injured in or by a taxi cab and there is a maximum of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars of insurance available to them, not to exceed $100,000.00 per person, in total. Because it is not unusual for a taxi cab to have more than three passengers or be involved with another vehicle having several passengers; all of the injured people would then have to share in the total insurance coverage of $300,000.00, in which case each person may be entitled to less than $100,000.00. Of course, given that one may suffer paralysis, bone fractures, and other severe injuries, or even death, this is not much money at all. This would be in addition to New York State No-Fault Coverage Private Vehicles and Gipsy Cab Passenger Injuries and Pedestrian Accidents Private, unlicensed gypsy cabs do not have this requirement and, therefore, will have only the minimum motor vehicle liability coverage of $25,000.00/$50,000.00. Thus an individual who was injured would be covered to a maximum of $25,000.00 and multiple injured parties would have to share a maximum of $50,000.00 in insurance coverage. Uber Car Service, UberX with Ride Sharing Passenger Injury and Pedestrian Accident Claims In New York City, UberX ride-sharing has more robust coverage for about $1,000,000.00 per incident, while they are carrying passengers, which is primary to any personal insurance coverage that the driver may have. If the UberX driver does not have a passenger and is between trips then the driver is also backed by an additional policy that covers driver liability for bodily injury up to $50,000/individual/accident with a total of $100,000/accident and up to $25,000 for property damage, which policy is only available if the drivers primary personal insurance pays zero (0) dollars. There is also $1 million of uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage per incident if another vehicle without insurance crashes with the UberX Car you are in.

• Medical Malpractice
  In NY medical misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose are the most common types of medical malpractice lawsuits involving a medical doctors failure to properly diagnose a medical patient. Additionally, misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose errors can often be due to mixed up lab test, improperly read diagnostic scans, or other institutional related medical errors. Most medical doctors, nurses, lab technicians, and other medical providers do a fine job in treating patients. Most patients, with good reason, trust that their healthcare providers will perform the necessary diagnostic procedures to determine what is causing their symptoms for which they seek treatment. However, occasionally, and even rarely, the medical provider, whether it be a physician, physician’s assistant, or nurse, may make the wrong diagnosis or fail to diagnose a patient’s medical condition.
