You spend your morning scanning the news. Maybe you read the newspaper. Maybe you watch the morning news. Maybe you listen to the news in your car on the way to work. Or, if you are like many of us, you read your news online. No matter which way you get your news content, this section provides relevant information about current events that are happening relating to accident cases, wrongful death cases and medical malpractice cases in New York and throughout the country.
Many times you will see studies reported here that are currently trending in the news. On occasion I will add commentary to my news report to highlight a particular point and show what happens here in New York.
You will always find a link to the original news story contained within my news report. I find it critically important to allow you, the reader, the ability to determine for yourself the source of the story.
As always, if you have legal questions about your possible case that arose here in New York, I encourage you to pick up the phone and call me. This is what I do every single day. You can reach me at 516-487-8207 or by e-mail at [email protected]. I welcome your call.
