New York City Personal Injury Attorneys
New York City is an exciting place to live, work, and play. The streets and sidewalks are full of people who may or may not call our City home. But while folks from out of town take in the sights and stand on sidewalks gazing up in wonder at our skyscrapers, New Yorkers rush about the business of getting safely to their jobs and back home to provide for their families.

With the sheer numbers of people moving through the streets of our City, on foot or in motor vehicles, it’s inevitable that an accident will happen. Something as simple as tripping over a mop bucket left outside a restaurant, being clipped by a taxi that went through the pedestrian crosswalk too quickly, or getting rear-ended by a driver who’s not paying attention to the stop-and-go traffic — any imaginable type of accident could change your life in the blink of an eye. The accident may not have been your fault, but it could put you deeply in debt, unable to pay your bills or provide for your family. If this applies to your situation, call a New York City personal injury attorney at Kaplan Lawyers PC and take the next step toward financial recovery.

New York’s Limousine Tragedy Opens up Fundamental Safety Questions
It was an accident almost too horrific to comprehend, but very sadly it was all too real. Seventeen people celebrating a birthday in a stretch SUV limo, their driver, and two pedestrians in a parking lot lost their lives in a tragic crash in upstate New York near Albany on October 6, 2018. It was the worst transportation-related accident in the country since a 2009 airplane crash that left 50 people dead.
Winterizing Your Car – What You Need to Know
A little over a generation ago, winterizing our cars in the northern U.S. was necessary in order to keep them running reliably during cold weather months. Today’s cars, for the most part, don’t need the same seasonal routines. But there are still a few necessary things we should all do before the snows start flying to ensure we have vehicles that will run well throughout the winter. Many of the tasks on our list are the “do it yourself” type, but a few might be best left for your trusted mechanic.
Why Hit-And-Run Drivers Flee the Scene
In New York, a hit-and-run accident is viewed as leaving an accident scene in which you were involved without reporting it.
Getting a hit-and-run ticket in New York can (depending on the circumstances) result in your being fined up to $250 and can land you in jail for 15 days! Three points are added to your driving record, a fact that will be of concern to your liability insurer. This means your rates will rise noticeably. And if you hold a commercial driver’s license, fleeing the scene of an accident and getting caught means you lose that license for a year.
