Unfortunately, due to the negligence of some drivers of cars, cycling can be dangerous.

People often assume that a limb fracture is no big deal. Get it fixed, go home and let it heal. There are several types of bone injuries and each has to be treated correctly.
Compound fractures because of an automobile crash or a knee joint break that occurs when a pedestrian is struck by a automobile in a crosswalk is a serious fracture that can have long-term effects. The crushing bone injury to the ankle and leg that a motorcyclist’s receives when he or she is sideswiped by a car in a motorcycle accident can lead to permanent disability. Even a broken wrist, finger or arm for a senior citizen after a fall in a nursing home can be complicated as healing takes more time than it does for a younger person.
The cost of medical care for serious breaks over the long term can be far more than expected. If you accept an early settlement offer from the insurance company, you may end up with unpaid medical bills and no opportunity for full repayment of your losses and bills.

Medical Malpractice Attorney
If you’ve been hurt under a doctor’s care or if a family member has died because of a medical professional’s actions or because of their inaction, you may have reason to file a lawsuit against the health care provider.
Medical malpractice happens when a health care provider such as a doctor, nurse or medical care center is negligent and deviates from the standards of what is accepted as good medical practice. If that happens and you are hurt as a result, you may have grounds for a medical malpractice case.
In determining if the health care professional followed the standards of accepted medical practice, also known as the standard of care, the judge or jury hearing your lawsuit will look at the generally accepted method of treating people in your area with similar medical problems. At trial, it must proven that the health care provider’s act or omission was a mistake, but also that this mistake hurt you.
If you live in the area and think you are a victim of medical malpractice, contact the team at Krasney Law today.
Motorcycle Accident Attorney
Motorcycle riders, and the injuries they suffer as a result of an accident, are unique for many different reasons. Due to a lack of protection between riders, the road, and other vehicles, motorcyclists often suffer very serious injuries during accidents. What could be a simple “fender bender” to someone in a full size car, can cause serious injuries to a motorcycle rider.
Motorcycles are vulnerable to a unique set of risks on the road, meaning even the most experienced riders can crash. Motorcycle accidents can occur because of several factors, such as:
- Construction zones
- Road hazards
- Distracted drivers
- Motorists failing to yield the right of way
- Vehicle drivers changing lanes without yielding

The jarring forces of an auto accident can wreak havoc on the intricate, criss-crossing structures of the back and neck. Even though the neck and back can absorb a lot of punishment, the forces resulting from a wreck may cause damage to many of those interconnected structures.
At Krasney Law, we know how painful and disabling a neck or back injury can be. We know that a “minor” back injury often gets worse before it gets better.
From permanent injuries to soft tissue injuries, these are some of the more common neck and back injuries caused by an accident:

Pedestrian Accident Attorney
When a vehicle strikes a pedestrian, the injuries may be very severe. Severe spinal, head, neck,paralysis, broken bones, or loss of a limb can all happen to pedestrians when they are hit by vehicles.
Many times, the driver of the vehicle, or their insurance company, will try to shift the blame for the accident onto the pedestrian. Police sometimes claim that the pedestrian was not inside the crosswalk when they come to the scene, as the pedestrian has fallen outside the crosswalk area. Insurance adjusters will often affix the blame on the pedestrian, saying that the pedestrian should have noticed the car coming and got out of the way. Many times it is harder to get an insurance company to pay for the injury to a pedestrian than it is to pay for the injury to a person inside a vehicle.
If you or a loved one has been involved in a vehicle vs. pedestrian accident in the area, call the Krasney Law team for a no-cost consultation.
Slip and Fall Attorney
In the case of a slip or fall accident, the law doesn’t hold businesses responsible for the accident unless the company or its employees failed to meet a legal duty of care.
If you desire to sue for an injury that happened at a business location, you must prove that the business was legally at fault.
Slip and fall injuries can occur in many of ways. All business establishments can be sued for slips, falls, and collisions. The owners of a business may be sued based on poor hiring, supervision, or training of employees. Each state has its own laws that determine the standards of care that can apply in any personal injury case involving a business.
Courts understand that businesses can’t prevent every slip and fall accident from occurring. They require that businesses exercise the same amount of care as a reasonably prudent person would. This means guarding against foreseeable problems and taking reasonable precautions to prevent accidents. You can recover damages for many types of personal injury only if you can show that the business failed in these duties.
