Recent changes to New York divorce law are reshaping how courts handle key aspects of matrimonial cases, from procedural requirements to financial determinations. For individuals going through a divorce, these updates may influence timelines, documentation, and the way certain outcomes—such as support and property division—are evaluated.

Pedestrian accidents in New York City often raise complex legal questions, especially when issues like jaywalking are involved. While many people assume that a pedestrian crossing outside a designated crosswalk automatically bears full responsibility, New York law is far more nuanced.

Liability in these cases is typically determined through a comparative negligence analysis, meaning both the pedestrian’s actions and the driver’s conduct are evaluated to determine fault. Even in situations involving jaywalking, drivers may still have a legal duty to exercise reasonable care and avoid a collision where possible.

Our latest blog takes a closer look at NYC jaywalking accidents, how liability is assessed, and what factors can impact a personal injury claim after a pedestrian-vehicle collision.
