Car, Truck and Motorcycle Accidents

The car accident attorneys at Subin are skilled in dealing with collision cases of all kinds, including cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Semi-trucks pose a unique danger on the roadway. Their large blind spots, extended stopping distance, and high center of gravity often cause collisions. Because of their low visibility, motorcyclists are especially vulnerable to accidents on the roadway.

In lawsuits involving truck accidents, an important piece of evidence for the accident lawyer is the trucking company’s work log. Many truck drivers violate hours-of-service regulations in an effort to meet deadlines. The work log can reveal this type of violation and help the accident attorney prove liability.

Victims of motorcycle wrecks face an uphill battle. Insurers know that accident victims often accept a smaller settlement in their weakened state. At Subin Associates, our motorcycle accident attorneys are committed to helping injured motorcyclists get through the difficult time that follows a serious accident and win their case.

Construction Accidents

Each year thousands of construction workers are injured or killed in construction site accidents, and at Subin Associates, our construction accident attorneys have the skill and knowledge to successfully win these cases. A construction worker involved in a work related accident in addition to a workers’ compensation claim may have a third party law suit against the general contractor and/or owner of the construction site pursuant to Sections 200, 240 and 241(6) of the New York Labor Law.

Premises Accidents

In an urban environment like New York City, ‘slip and fall’ or ‘trip and fall’ accidents can happen as a result of snow, ice, poor lighting, and abrupt changes in flooring levels or potholes and cracks in the ground, resulting in severe accidents, injury and even death.

If your accident occurs because of a negligent condition, you may be able to pursue a claim against the property owner or tenant to recover damages for your injuries. You can also sue for damages against a state, county, city or other public entity if your accident occurs on government-owned property such as a sidewalk or subway station.

Subin Associates’ accident attorneys have handled an impressive volume of ‘premises’ accidents and have the skill and experience to successfully win compensation.

VERDICT: $1,710,000.00

Lizzette Rivera v. New York Transit Authority, Index No. 109199/2005

Court: Supreme Court New York County, Justice Paul G. Feinman, July 20, 2009

Plaintiff’s Attorney: Frank M. Melendez, Esq. from Subin Associates, LLP

Facts/Allegations: On January 22, 2005 Lizzette Rivera, 36, a single working mom, was being discharged from a New York City Transit Authority bus, during a snow fall, near a bus stop at Amsterdam Ave. and 135th Street in New York City. Not until she was descending the bus, did she realize she was being discharged a lane away from the bus stop. Not able to see what was under the snow she stepped into a hole causing her to trip down into the street. The fall caused her to sustain serious injuries.
Ms. Rivera sued the New York City Transit Authority, alleging that they were negligent in discharging her at an unsafe place and that the negligence created a dangerous condition for passengers.
The defendant New York City Transit Authority claimed that they were not negligent. They specifically claimed that if Ms. Rivera could not see a hole under the snow it was not their obligation to ensure her safety and that if she could not see the hole how could the bus driver. They also claimed that the injury was not severe/permanent.
Injuries/Damages: Right ankle trimalleolar fracture dislocation with destruction/disruption of the ankle mortise; fracture of the posterior malleolus; open reduction internal fixation of medial and lateral malleolus of trimalleolar fracture dislocation; fracture of the posterior malleolus; bone stripping; tissue stripping off bone with significant displacement; anterior to posterior screws; tubular plate along the lateral fibula; screws across the medial mallaeolus retrograde into the distal fibula; right ankle prominence and painful hardware post fracture with posterior tibial tendonitis; lateral displacement of the distal fracture fragments; tendon tear; right ankle removal of deep hardware; right ankle repair and debridement of posterior tibial tendon; posterior tibial tendon longitudinal tear with partial thickness and chronic inflammation, synovial hypertrophy around tendon itself; subluxation of the talofibular joint with fracture of the medial malleolus, and lateral malleolus with involvement of the articular surface; synovial inflammation; lateral compression plate and multiple screws; joint effusion and anatomic alignment; posterior and plantar spurs; syndesmosis; sutures; scarring; tourniquet; swelling; deformity; tender over the anteromedial ankle with swelling; 7 screws and plate on the outside fibula of the ankle; continued daily ankle pain; cortisone injection recommended; follow up surgery included ankle arthroscopy and removal of remaining screws; level of pain is indefinite; development of severe arthritis.
At the time of trial the operating orthopedic surgeon indicated that the injury to Ms.Rivera was permanent and with time her problems would in all likelihood get worse.
Result: A jury found that the New York City Transit Authority was liable for the accident, but Ms.Rivera was assigned a percentage of comparative fault. The jury deliberated and determined that the injury to Ms. Rivera totaled damages in the amount of $1,710,000.00.
