Goidel & Siegel LLP Helping NYC Construction Accident Injury & Personal Injury Victims For 36+ Years! Attorneys Jonathan Goidel and Andrew Siegel co-founded our law firm in 1990.

Both had already amassed extensive trial experience at that time — and, in the quarter-century since, both lawyers have tried personal injury cases to verdict in nearly all trial courts throughout the five boroughs of New York City. We have earned numerous million-dollar-plus verdicts and settlements for people injured on dangerous property, in motor vehicle collisions of all types, at schools, on city-owned property, and under other circumstances created by others' negligence. Today, our law partners lead a cohesive team of associates, attorneys of counsel, and highly-skilled, professional staff members with complementary strengths. Our work together can begin with a free consultation and case evaluation. We have Russian- and Spanish-speaking staff members available to assist our diverse clientele.

🎒 Back to School Means More Pedestrians on NYC Streets

As students head back to school, NYC streets become even busier with children walking to school, parents crossing intersections, school buses loading and unloading, and cyclists sharing the road.

Drivers should take extra care in school zones and residential neighborhoods. **Slow down. Stay alert. Put the phone away. And always yield to pedestrians in crosswalks.**

Parents can also help children stay safe by reminding them to:
🚶 Use marked crosswalks whenever possible
👀 Look both ways before crossing
📱 Put away phones and avoid distractions
🚦 Obey pedestrian signals and traffic lights
🚗 Make eye contact with drivers before crossing

A few extra seconds of caution can prevent a life-changing accident.

If you or your child is injured in a pedestrian accident, understanding your legal rights is important.

Hit-and-Run Pedestrian Crashes: A Tragic Reality

A pedestrian crash can change a life in seconds. When the driver leaves the scene, the consequences can be even more devastating.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 23% of pedestrians killed in traffic crashes in 2021 were involved in hit-and-run crashes.

That means nearly 1 out of every 4 pedestrians killed was the victim of a crash involving a driver who fled the scene.

NHTSA reported 7,388 pedestrian deaths in 2021, meaning hit-and-run crashes were associated with approximately 1,700 pedestrian fatalities that year.

Hit-and-run pedestrian crashes are particularly concerning because critical evidence can disappear quickly. Witnesses may leave. Surveillance footage can be overwritten. Vehicle debris, paint transfers, and other physical evidence may become important in identifying the vehicle and determining what happened.

If you or someone you love has been injured in a pedestrian hit-and-run in New York City, preserve any available evidence and seek legal advice as soon as possible.

Goidel & Siegel represents injured pedestrians and families affected by serious and fatal accidents.

🚨 **Injured After Slipping and Falling at a Hotel? Know Your Rights.** 🏨

A relaxing hotel stay can quickly turn into a painful experience if dangerous conditions are ignored. Wet lobby floors, poorly maintained stairways, loose carpeting, inadequate lighting, and slippery bathroom surfaces can all lead to serious injuries.

If you've been hurt in a hotel slip and fall accident:
✔️ Report the incident to hotel management immediately.
✔️ Take photos or videos of the hazardous condition.
✔️ Get medical attention as soon as possible.
✔️ Keep copies of any incident reports and medical records.
✔️ Speak with an experienced personal injury attorney before accepting any settlement offer.

Hotel owners have a legal responsibility to keep their premises reasonably safe for guests. When they fail to address dangerous conditions, they may be held accountable for the injuries that result.

At **Goidel & Siegel**, we've spent decades fighting for injured New Yorkers and helping victims recover the compensation they deserve.

🚶‍♂️ Pedestrian Accidents in NYC Are a Growing Concern — Stay Alert and Know Your Rights

New York City streets are among the busiest in the world, but increased traffic, distracted driving, larger vehicles, delivery activity, and unsafe intersections have made walking in NYC more dangerous.

Pedestrians have little protection when struck by a vehicle. A collision that happens in seconds can lead to life-changing injuries, including:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Broken bones
• Internal injuries
• Permanent disabilities

Drivers have a responsibility to share the road safely by following traffic laws, yielding to pedestrians, avoiding distractions, and staying alert—especially in crowded areas and pedestrian-heavy neighborhoods.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a pedestrian accident, it is important to understand your legal rights. Evidence such as traffic camera footage, witness statements, police reports, and medical records can be critical when pursuing a claim.

At **Goidel & Siegel**, we have decades of experience representing seriously injured New Yorkers. Our attorneys fight to protect the rights of pedestrians injured because of negligent drivers.

A routine trip to the grocery store can turn into a life-changing event if you slip and fall because of a wet floor, spilled food, leaking refrigeration units, or other dangerous conditions.

Whether your accident happened at ShopRite, Stop & Shop, C-Town, or another grocery store, taking the right steps can help protect both your health and your legal rights.

✅ Report the accident to store management immediately.
✅ Take photos of the area, including the hazard that caused your fall.
✅ Get the names and contact information of any witnesses.
✅ Seek medical attention—even if you think your injuries are minor.
✅ Keep the shoes and clothing you were wearing, as they may become important evidence.
✅ Avoid giving recorded statements to an insurance company before speaking with an attorney.

Slip and fall injuries can result in broken bones, head injuries, back injuries, and long-term pain. If your fall was caused by a store's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

If you've been injured in a grocery store accident in New York City, the experienced attorneys at Goidel & Siegel are here to help you understand your rights and fight for the compensation you deserve.

🏙️ Aging Infrastructure in NYC: A Hidden Danger Above Your Head

New York City's aging buildings, sidewalks, and structures are part of what gives our city its character but they can also pose serious risks. Loose bricks, crumbling concrete, deteriorating facades, falling tools, and unsecured construction materials can cause devastating injuries to unsuspecting pedestrians.

If you've been injured by a falling object, it's important to seek medical attention immediately, document the scene if possible, and speak with an experienced personal injury attorney about your legal rights.

At Goidel & Siegel, we've spent decades fighting for New Yorkers injured because property owners, contractors, or building managers failed to maintain safe conditions. No one should suffer because of neglected maintenance or unsafe construction practices.

If you or a loved one has been injured by a falling object in New York City, we're here to help.
