Cyclists have the right to share New York roads, but when a driver fails to watch for them, the consequences can be serious. 🚲⚠️ Bicycle accidents can leave riders facing significant injuries, medical expenses, and questions about their legal options.

Drivers have a responsibility to watch for cyclists, and failing to properly respond to a cyclist's movements or signals can lead to a devastating collision. Parked cars can pose a danger too — "dooring" accidents happen when a driver or passenger opens a vehicle door into a cyclist's path without checking for approaching bicycles. After a crash, evidence matters: photos of the scene, witness information, medical records, and the police report can all help document what happened.

When another person's negligence causes a bicycle accident, an injured cyclist may be able to pursue compensation for resulting losses. Knowing your rights — and what steps to take after an accident — can help protect your interests as you recover.

Not every car accident is caused by a careless driver. Sometimes, the vehicle itself is the problem. 🚗⚠️ Defective or malfunctioning vehicle parts can cause a driver to suddenly lose control, even when they're doing everything right.

Mechanical failures that may contribute to serious crashes include:

🛑 Brake failures that make it difficult or impossible to stop
🛞 Defective tires that blow out or lose traction
⚙️ Steering system failures that affect a driver’s ability to control the vehicle
💥 Defective airbags or other safety components that fail during a crash

When a defective vehicle or part contributes to an accident, determining responsibility may require looking beyond the drivers involved and investigating the vehicle, its components, and how the defect occurred.

Understanding what caused the crash is an important part of determining who may be responsible for the resulting injuries and losses.

Think a rideshare accident is just like any other car crash? Not quite. 🚗📱 When Uber or Lyft is involved, figuring out which insurance applies often comes down to one key question: what was the driver doing at the time of the crash?

If the driver wasn't logged into the app, the rideshare company generally isn't required to provide coverage. If they were logged in but still waiting for a ride request, rideshare coverage may apply — but it's often limited. Once a ride is accepted or a passenger is on board, both the driver's personal insurance and additional rideshare coverage may come into play. If another driver caused the crash, uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may need to be considered as well.

With multiple drivers and insurance companies potentially involved, figuring out who's responsible — and which policy applies — isn't always straightforward. At Bragoli & Associates, we can help you sort through it.

10/01/2026

Losing a loved one unexpectedly is devastating, and when the loss was caused by someone else’s negligence or misconduct, families may also be left facing difficult financial questions. In New York, a wrongful death claim may provide a way to seek compensation for losses connected to the death. ⚖️

Families should know that wrongful death cases can involve several important considerations:

💰 Financial losses may include medical and funeral expenses, lost future earnings, and other losses resulting from the death.
📄 Determining who has the legal authority to bring the claim is an important part of the process.
⏰ Wrongful death claims are subject to legal deadlines, making it important to understand your options as soon as possible.
🤝 Families should understand the full extent of their losses before agreeing to a settlement.

No lawsuit can replace a loved one, but understanding your legal rights can help protect your family’s future after an unimaginable loss.

As students head back to school, parents are thinking about schedules, supplies, and getting everyone back into a routine. Safety should be part of that conversation, too. 🚌📚
School buses are one of the safest ways for children to travel, but accidents and preventable injuries can still happen. Understanding basic safety practices can help protect kids throughout the school year.
Here are a few important reminders:
🛑 Teach children to wait for the bus a safe distance away from the curb and never run toward a moving vehicle.
👀 Encourage kids to make eye contact with the driver before crossing in front of the bus.
📱 Remind children to stay alert and avoid distractions from phones or headphones near traffic.
🚸 Drivers should slow down in school zones and remain vigilant for children crossing streets unexpectedly.
⚖️ If a school bus accident does occur, parents should understand their rights and the steps needed to protect their child's well-being.
A new school year brings excitement, but safety always comes first. Taking a few precautions today can help keep children safe throughout the year.

A slip and fall accident can happen in a matter of seconds, but the steps you take afterward can have a lasting impact on your health and your legal rights. Whether the fall happens in a grocery store, parking lot, restaurant, or apartment building, knowing what to do next is important. Here are the first steps every victim should take: Seek medical attention right away, even if your injuries seem minor at first. Take photos of the hazardous condition before it is cleaned up or repaired. Report the incident to the property owner, manager, or employee and request a copy of any report. Collect contact information from witnesses who saw what happened, and ⚖️ avoid discussing fault or giving detailed statements before understanding your legal options. The actions you take immediately after a slip and fall accident can help protect both your recovery and any future claim. Documenting the scene and seeking proper medical care are two of the most important things you can do.

Property owners have a responsibility to maintain safe conditions for the people who visit their property. When dangerous hazards are ignored, the consequences can be life-changing. ⚠️
Slip-and-fall accidents are often dismissed as minor incidents, but they can result in serious injuries that require extensive medical treatment and long-term recovery.
Here's what you should know:
🧠 Falls can cause traumatic brain injuries, even when a person never loses consciousness.
🦴 Spinal cord injuries and back trauma may lead to chronic pain and lasting mobility issues.
🚶 Hip fractures are especially serious and can require surgery, rehabilitation, and months of recovery.
📸 Taking photos of the hazard and documenting the conditions can help preserve important evidence.
⚖️ Property owners may be held accountable when they fail to address unsafe conditions they knew about or should have corrected.
No one should suffer a serious injury because basic safety measures were ignored. Understanding your rights is an important step toward protecting your health and your future.

That photo you posted after your accident could end up being seen by more than just your friends. Insurance companies and defense attorneys often review social media accounts for evidence they can use to challenge an injury claim. Even innocent posts can be taken out of context and used to argue that your injuries are not as serious as you claim. Here's what to keep in mind: Photos and videos may be interpreted differently than intended, even if they were taken before or after a short activity. Location check-ins or vacation posts can raise questions about your physical limitations and recovery. Friends and family members should avoid tagging you or discussing your accident online. Privacy settings help, but they do not guarantee that information won't become part of a legal case. When in doubt, speak with your attorney before posting anything related to your accident or recovery. Protecting your claim means being careful both offline and online. A single social media post should never stand in the way of receiving the compensation you deserve.

Construction accidents don't just affect workers. People walking near construction sites can also suffer serious injuries when proper safety measures aren't followed. 🚧 Falling tools, unsecured materials, debris, and unsafe work zones can put pedestrians and nearby visitors at risk.
Here's what you should know:
🚶 Pedestrians injured near construction sites may have the right to pursue compensation for their injuries.
🏗️ Property owners, contractors, and subcontractors all have responsibilities to maintain safe conditions around active work areas.
⚖️ Determining liability often depends on who controlled the site and whether proper safety precautions were in place.
📋 Photos, witness statements, and medical records can be important pieces of evidence after an accident.
⏳ Acting quickly helps preserve your rights and strengthens your potential claim.
Construction activity is common throughout New York, but public safety should never be an afterthought. If you or a loved one has been injured near a construction site, understanding your legal options is an important first step toward recovery.
