Hit and Run
Hit and Run
We tend to not think of hit and run car accidents as a major issue in New York. Unfortunately in a large city such as New York, there are many selfish people living amongst us as we go about our daily lives. We often take our own safety for granted when we go for a casual stroll at night to the corner store to grab a late-night bite to eat. Tragically, a casual late-night stroll can end someone’s life and shatter a family. Sadly, this is what happened in Cypress Hills Brooklyn when Israel Turcios and his friend Delmer Maldenado went out for a bite around midnight. The two men, both fathers, were run down by a selfish, depraved person that ran away from the scene of the crime. Not only did this selfish individual leave two men dying on the street, he left two families shattered into pieces. ABC News reports that the search is on for this depraved individual who is still on the loose after this hit and run incident. The story can be read here.
In large cities such as New York and the five boroughs, nightmares like this occur more frequent then they should. When you or a loved one are the victim of a crime such as a hit and run, you need someone fighting on your side. You need someone that will help you put the fragmented pieces of your family back together. Call the Law Firm of Vaughn, Weber & Prakope, PLLC at 516-858-2620 to speak to a personal injury attorney.

Pedestrian Knockdown
A pedestrian knockdown is one type of personal injury case that is growing in number on Long Island. A pedestrian knockdown is when an individual is struck by a motor vehicle and suffers injuries. A pedestrian knockdown does not necessarily imply criminal conduct such as that in a hit and run, texting while driving or DWI incidents; although they can. Often times, pedestrian knockdown cases arise out of nothing more than a mere accident. Just the latest example of this type of accident occurred in Copiague and was reported by News 12.
Whether arising out of criminal conduct or not, pedestrian knockdown cases almost always result in personal injuries. It is common sense that the human body is not built to withstand an impact from a motor vehicle in motion. Therefore, when a pedestrian knockdown occurs, the victim has anxiety and a lot of questions. It is important to understand that a personal injury attorney can assist you in answering questions such as how to seek medical advice, whose insurance pays for medical treatment, how liability for the accident is assessed and determining if a personal injury lawsuit should be commenced. Having answers to these questions will allow the victim to focus all of their energy on recovering and calm the concerns of their family. Most people often underestimate the importance of consulting with a personal injury attorney. It is important to remember that being injured in an accident is very traumatic and scary. The experience is exacerbated by not knowing how to handle the “fall-out” from the accident or lessened by having people around you who do.
