Comparative Negligence And New York Personal Injury Cases
The success and failure of New York personal injury cases come down to attributing blame. Someone’s actions or negligence led to a cause-and-effect situation where someone got hurt. It could be a distracted driver hitting a pedestrian, a negligent company not following safety standards, or all kinds of other cases. However, these personal injury suits are rarely black and white, with one party being 100% to blame for the injuries, pain, and suffering. Many claimants will share the responsibility to some degree. So, what do courts do in this situation? How do you determine compensation? This is where comparative negligence rules come into play. In New York, this rule is structured so that it could work in the claimant’s favor.

Don’t Forget About Justus Ross-Simmons
Justus Ross-Simmons is a name that hasn’t been mentioned enough by Syracuse fans this offseason. It’s understandable, in a way. Kyle McCord is the most highly-touted transfer the Orange have acquired in recent memory, so he’s gotten more attention than any other offensive newcomer. In terms of other weapons, Oronde Gadsden should be healthy again and LeQuint Allen was great last season. Even Zeed Haynes, who is a less proven transfer receiver, is getting more attention, although his stock probably got boosted given that he’s coming over from Georgia. But among all those pieces, Ross-Simmons is set up to make himself known this fall.

This tunnel on Manhattan East Side was partially finished in the 1970s for the Second Avenue subway. The MTA plans to use it for the extension of the line into East Harlem, but the work will remain on hold until Gov.
