Hopefully you’re not looking at this page because you need a construction accident attorney New York. but if you do ever need such an attorney you can call us at the lawyer James at 212-500-1891. We have very experienced attorneys in many different areas of law, particularly, in the context of procedural law in the five boroughs including and actually limited to Manhattan the Bronx Brooklyn Queens and Staten island. and it is quite an adventure and an experience going to Staten Island from Manhattan. The pleasure is in taking the ferry. It is a Staten Island Ferry and it’s nice and big and comfortable and goes between the southern tip-ish of Manhattan to Staten Island and it’s a gorgeous ride because you go by the Statue of Liberty and if you go at sunset time you will see the sunset set behind the statue of liberty.
There’s all types of different construction that goes on in Manhattan and the other boroughs. Manhattan is of course the epicenter of New York city, particularly Times Square. And this is because when most people think about New York city, they think about Times Square, they think about New Year’s eve, they think about the apple or the ball dropping in Times square. and Times Square just gets very very hectic around New Year’s eve. And hopefully there’s no reason to contact a construction accident attorney New York on New Year’s Eve because I would think that at that point there is nobody working and nobody getting injured on a construction site. and if somebody is getting injured on a construction site it might be some party revelers or some people who are not supposed to be there.
So part of the reason why a construction site at night time on New Year’s Eve could be perhaps a little bit dangerous is because the people who are visiting are probably under the influence of some sort of a substance, perhaps intoxicated. And this would of course heighten their likelihood of not seeing something, or not understanding the severity of the situation at the time when they come across something that would appear dangerous to a person that was not in that same frame of mind or state of mind, but that is not the normal type of situation where one would need to call a construction accident attorney New York.
When a lot of accidents arise presumably is when at the construction site there are a lot of different moving parts. One part could be that there is equipment or machinery that is not properly cared for. And when this is not properly cared for this could give rise to a claim of negligence. And when there’s a claim of negligence there has to be somebody who owes a duty to somebody else or something else or perhaps the whole staff, and when they do not fulfill that duty, it creates a danger, and when there’s a danger, there is a risk of somebody getting hurt. and when there’s a risk of somebody getting hurt, there is a risk that there is a construction accident or an accident out of construction site. and when that happens, there could be the possibility that there is a need for a construction accident attorney New York. and this is particularly true when the construction accident occurs in New York and there’s a lot of construction that goes on in the five boroughs of New York and those five boroughs include Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, and Brooklyn. Well each of those different areas has their own set of rules that apply in the courts, they’re all governed by the CPLR, which has other procedural rules in New York, statewide.
Now while there is a standard set of rules that applies to all the courts in New York, there are what are called part rules, and part rules mean the part where the judge a particular judge sits and typically or this can happen and is that the judge himself or herself has their own rules that governs what goes on in their part. These can be from procedural rules, to mostly procedural rules in fact such as page length and limits and the protocol for contacting Chambers or the court or the court attorney. There’s also quasi substantive, which are not really substantive rules and those rules are really late to when you can file a motion or a certain type of motion what happens before a motion is filed. Sometimes the judge is likely to have a conference, or at least a discussion, about the motion that is filed before it is actually filed to see if it can be resolved between the parties. and if it cannot be resolved between the parties, sometimes the court gets involved and the court is able to resolve it without motion practice. A construction accident attorney New York knows this.
and the reason why motion practice is avoided by judges is because it takes an enormous amount of time. In fact I have a friend of mine in Boston who had a judge take 9 years to decide a motion. I haven’t seen one myself in New York, that lasts that long, but I have seen motions that last about 3 years. and a lot of times clients forget about the lawsuits or can forget about the lawsuits because an enormous amount of time, relatively speaking, has a laugh and it just makes sense that nobody remembers the case or at least the clients do not. of course the attorneys do because that is what they are hired to do and address. and even a construction accident attorney New York could experience something like this and it is a very interesting situation when that amount of time is Last and people need to be brought up to speed or files need to be reviewed to figure out what is actually going on.
