It seems like there is never a shortage of car accidents in New York, and this week was no exception. Just recently an accident occurred in Old Westbury, just a few short miles from New York City, when two cars collided. According to state police, a man driving a Mazda veered out of his lane and clipped another vehicle before crashing into the shoulder. The Mazda driver was killed, and the other driver reported no injuries.
Medical malpractice can be a daunting personal injury claim that fills you with anxiety. When you seek medical assistance from professionals, you are entrusting your well-being to their care.

After all, they are the experts, so you want to be sure that the fault was truly theirs.
Advances in technology have truly revolutionized the way we live our lives. From the cell phones that allow us to contact our loved ones when we are apart to the cars that allow us to get to work and school, we employ hundreds of devices on a daily basis. While these products are designed and tested to ensure that they are safe for consumers, there are always risks that a product could cause harm to its user.
Make no mistake about it: accidents happen. As we have mentioned before, tens of thousands of people are injured in motor vehicle accidents annually in the state of New York. The unfortunate reality is that the world will likely never be accident free, but with special care and attention, the number of accidents can be significantly reduced. Simply avoiding many of the common causes of car accidents can go a long way in reducing your risk.
Make no mistake: Bicycles can be very dangerous for pedestrians in New York. Many bicyclists try to capitalize on their minimal size and hyper-maneuverability in order to navigate around the busy city streets, and this often leads to injured pedestrians. However, it is important to remember that bicyclists can be victims too. The dangers that bicyclists pose to pedestrians are also dangers that bicyclists themselves face with regard to larger vehicles such as cars.
