Photo Credit: DW labs Incorporated Can You Sue the MTA If You’re Injured? If you’ve been injured on New York public transportation, you may have heard this myth before: “You can’t sue the MTA .” This is false —and believing it could cost you your right to compensation. At Blitz Law Group, we’ve handled numerous personal injury claims against the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and its subsidiaries, including NYC Transit, MTA Bus Company, and Long Island Rail Road. The truth is: you absolutely can sue the MTA if their negligence caused your injuries. ⸻ Common Types of MTA-Related Injuries Injuries involving the MTA can happen in a variety of ways, including:     •    🚇 Slips, trips, or falls in subway stations or on platforms     •    🚌 Injuries from bus accidents due to reckless or distracted driving     •    🚆 Train malfunctions or sudden stops causing passengers to fall     •    🚧 Poor station maintenance or broken turnstiles     •    🪜 Defective escalators, elevators, or staircases No matter how the accident happened, if it was caused by negligence, you may have a case. ⸻ Yes, You Can Sue the MTA—But You Must Act Fast Filing a lawsuit against a government agency like the MTA isn’t the same as suing a private company. In New York, you’re required to file a Notice of Claim within 90 days of the incident. This legal document informs the agency of your intent to pursue damages and kicks off the timeline for your case. Miss the deadline? You could lose your right to sue altogether. That’s why it’s critical to speak with an experienced New York transit injury lawyer as soon as possible after the incident. ⸻ What to Do If You’ve Been Injured on NYC Transit If you’re injured on an MTA bus, subway, or train, follow these steps:     1.    Report the incident immediately to an MTA official or the driver.     2.    Document everything—take photos of the scene and your injuries.     3.    Seek medical attention right away, even if you feel “okay.”     4.    Collect witness information, if anyone saw what happened.     5.    Call Blitz Law Group for a free consultation. ⸻ We’ve Successfully Handled MTA Lawsuits—And Won Big Blitz Law Group recently secured a $1.2 million settlement for a Brooklyn man who was injured when an MTA bus improperly entered his lane.

Crosswalk Injury FAQs Every day, thousands of New Yorkers walk to work, school, and errands—many relying on crosswalks to get there safely. But in a city that never sleeps (or slows down), pedestrian accidents happen far too often. At Blitz Law Group, we’ve represented countless clients who were seriously injured while simply crossing the street. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we hear from victims of crosswalk accidents—and answers to help you better understand your rights. ⸻ 1. I was hit in a crosswalk—do I have a case? Yes—if a driver hits you while you’re in a marked crosswalk, there’s a strong chance they’re at fault. NYC traffic laws give pedestrians the right of way in most crosswalks. Even if the light was changing or unclear, you may still have a valid personal injury case depending on the circumstances. ⸻ 2. What should I do immediately after being hit as a pedestrian?     •    Call 911 – Get police and medical responders on the scene.     •    Seek medical attention, even if you feel okay (some injuries surface later).     •    Take photos – of the scene, vehicle, injuries, and signage if possible.     •    Get witness contact info – their statements can help strengthen your claim.     •    Do not negotiate with the driver’s insurance alone. Their goal is to minimize your payout. ⸻ 3. What kinds of injuries are common in pedestrian accidents? Crosswalk accidents can result in a wide range of serious injuries, including:     •    Broken bones (especially legs, hips, and ribs)     •    Traumatic brain injuries     •    Spinal injuries     •    Internal bleeding     •    Lacerations and permanent scarring     •    Emotional trauma and PTSD ⸻ 4. How long do I have to file a claim in New York? In most cases, you have 3 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, if the vehicle involved belongs to a government agency (like an MTA bus or city vehicle), you only have 90 days to file a Notice of Claim. Time is critical—don’t wait. ⸻ 5. What can I recover in a pedestrian injury case? Victims of pedestrian accidents may be entitled to compensation for:     •    Medical bills (past and future)     •    Lost wages     •    Pain and suffering     •    Emotional distress     •    Long-term disability or rehabilitation At Blitz Law Group, we’ve secured millions for injured pedestrians—including a $2.975 million settlement for a client hit in Manhattan. ⸻ 6. Do I need a lawyer for a crosswalk injury case? Yes. Insurance companies will try to offer you a quick, low settlement. An experienced personal injury lawyer can investigate the accident, collect evidence, negotiate aggressively, and take your case to trial if needed. Blitz Law Group is here to fight for what you deserve. ⸻ Injured While Crossing the Street? We Can Help. You shouldn’t have to pay for someone else’s recklessness.

"Crosswalk Injury FAQs: What You Need to Know if You’ve Been Hit While Walking in NYC"

Brooklyn’s vibrant streets are full of life—but they’re also full of risk. As personal injury attorneys serving New York City, we’ve seen firsthand how certain intersections in Brooklyn are far more dangerous than others. From speeding drivers to poor traffic design, these hotspots are responsible for a high number of car, pedestrian, and bike accidents every year. Whether you’re walking to work, riding your bike, or driving your kids to school, it’s important to know where the danger zones are—and what to do if you’re ever injured in a crash. Here are the Top 5 Most Dangerous Intersections in Brooklyn and how to protect yourself if the unexpected happens. ⸻ 🚦 1. Atlantic Avenue & Flatbush Avenue (Downtown Brooklyn) Source: Google Maps One of the busiest intersections in Brooklyn, this chaotic crossroad is a major hub for vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists alike. With heavy traffic from Barclays Center and poor lane visibility, collisions are common—especially during rush hour. Common accident types:     •    T-bone crashes     •    Pedestrian knockdowns     •    Rear-end collisions ⸻ 🚶 2. Ocean Parkway & Church Avenue (Kensington) Source: Google Maps Despite recent redesign efforts, Ocean Parkway remains one of the borough’s most dangerous corridors. Poor lighting and confusing crosswalk signals make this intersection particularly treacherous for pedestrians and elderly residents. Tip: Always wait for the full walk signal and make eye contact with drivers before crossing. ⸻ 🚗 3. Linden Boulevard & Pennsylvania Avenue (East New York) Source: Google Maps High speeds and frequent red-light running make this intersection a magnet for serious crashes. It’s one of the deadliest in the borough, especially for drivers and passengers. If you’re in a crash here: Take photos, exchange info, and get medical attention immediately—even if you feel fine. Injuries can take hours or even days to appear. ⸻ 🚴 4. Tillary Street & Adams Street (Brooklyn Heights/Downtown) Source: Google Maps This busy junction connects traffic from the Brooklyn Bridge and the BQE. Cyclists, in particular, face danger due to poor bike lane infrastructure and aggressive drivers. Pro tip for bikers: Always wear a helmet and consider installing a GoPro or dashcam to record rides for evidence if an accident occurs. ⸻ 🚌 5. Atlantic Avenue & Pennsylvania Avenue (Cypress Hills) Source: Google Maps With multiple bus lines, trucks, and dense vehicle traffic, this intersection is known for chaotic traffic flow. The mix of commercial and residential traffic makes it especially unpredictable. Common injuries here:     •    Whiplash     •    Broken bones     •    Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) ⸻ What to Do if You’re Injured at a Brooklyn Intersection If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident at one of these intersections—or anywhere in New York City—you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

$2.975 Million Settlement for Injured Pedestrian in Manhattan At Blitz Law Group, we recently secured a $2,975,000 settlement on behalf of a 33-year-old client who was severely injured while lawfully crossing a street in Manhattan. This case is not only a reminder of the devastating impact pedestrian accidents can have—but also a testament to the power of experienced legal representation and thorough investigation. Case Overview: Struck in the Crosswalk Our client, a Producer and Senior Production Manager, was walking in the marked crosswalk at West Houston and Greene Street in New York City when a car failed to yield and struck her. Surveillance footage obtained from NYU confirmed what she had said from the beginning—she had the right of way. The crash caused catastrophic injuries to her right foot and ankle, including:     •    A comminuted fracture of the talus bone     •    Complex fracture of the cuboid bone with complete joint disruption     •    Fracture of the fifth metatarsal     •    Lateral Lisfranc dislocation     •    Subtalar joint dislocation She underwent two intensive surgeries, including open reduction and internal fixation of the fractured bones and dislocated joints. Unfortunately, the injuries caused her to miss several months of work and ultimately cost her her job. With determined litigation led by attorneys Justin Blitz and Stephanie Mastrocola, and by securing vital video evidence early, we successfully negotiated a $2.975 million settlement at mediation while the case was still in litigation. ⸻ Pedestrian Safety: What Everyone Should Know New York City is one of the busiest pedestrian cities in the world—and crosswalk safety can’t be taken for granted. Here are a few critical reminders to stay safe: ✅ Always use marked crosswalks when crossing intersections. ✅ Make eye contact with drivers before stepping off the curb, even when you have the signal. ✅ Put phones down and stay alert when navigating intersections. ✅ At night, wear visible clothing or carry something reflective. Despite these precautions, negligent drivers can still cause serious harm. ⸻ What to Do If You’re Hit by a Car as a Pedestrian Being struck by a vehicle is traumatic and disorienting. Here are the steps you should take immediately:     1.    Call 911 – Get medical attention right away, even if you think you’re okay. Some injuries are hidden.     2.    Document everything – If possible, take photos of the scene, vehicle, and any visible injuries.     3.    Collect witness info – Eyewitnesses can be essential later in proving fault.     4.    Get a copy of the police report.     5.    Contact an experienced personal injury attorney – The sooner, the better. Preserving evidence—like the video footage we obtained in this case—can be critical. ⸻ You Don’t Have to Face It Alone Pedestrian accidents can leave you with serious injuries, medical debt, and lost income. At Blitz Law Group, we fight hard to make sure your story is heard and your future is protected. If you or a loved one has been hit by a vehicle in New York, contact us for a free consultation.

$1.2 Million Settlement for Brooklyn Man Injured in MTA Bus Crash At Blitz Law Group, we recently secured a $1,200,000 settlement for a 35-year-old client who suffered serious injuries when an MTA bus improperly entered his lane and collided with his vehicle in Brooklyn. This case underscores how important it is to know your rights—and to have strong legal advocacy when going up against large entities like the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). ⸻ Case Summary: Injured by Negligence Our client sustained multiple injuries from the crash, including:     •    A torn rotator cuff that required arthroscopic shoulder surgery     •    Herniated discs in the lumbar spine, requiring a two-level discectomy to relieve pressure and pain Despite initial discovery challenges and pushback from the MTA’s legal team, attorney Justin Blitz successfully appealed the dispute. Just one week before the case was set to go to trial, Blitz Law Group negotiated a $1.2 million settlement—providing justice, financial relief, and peace of mind for our client. ⸻ What to Do If You’re in an Accident Involving an MTA Bus Crashes involving MTA buses are different from typical car accidents. The legal process is more complex, and the timeline to take action is shorter. Here’s what to do immediately after an MTA bus-related crash: 1. Call 911 and Seek Medical Attention Even if you think your injuries are minor, get evaluated. Injuries like disc herniations or soft tissue damage may not be obvious right away. 2. Get the Bus Number and Operator Info Note the bus number, license plate, route, time of day, and the operator’s name or badge number if possible. This helps build a clear case. 3. Take Photos and Gather Witnesses Photograph the accident scene, damage to your vehicle, and visible injuries. If there are witnesses, ask for their contact info. 4. File a Notice of Claim Quickly You must file a Notice of Claim against the MTA within 90 days of the accident. Failing to meet this deadline could forfeit your right to sue. 5. Call a Lawyer Who Has Handled MTA Cases Going up against the MTA isn’t like going up against a regular insurance company. They have their own legal team, and the process is full of red tape. You need someone who’s done this before. ⸻ We Know How to Win Against the MTA At Blitz Law Group, we have experience taking on the MTA—and winning. Whether your injuries are orthopedic, spinal, or traumatic, we fight to hold public entities accountable and get you the compensation you deserve. No upfront fees. We don't get paid unless you win.

$140,000 Settlement for Client Injured at NYC Art Gallery Installation At Blitz Law Group, we believe that art should inspire—not injure. Recently, our team secured a $140,000 settlement for a client who was seriously injured at an NYC art gallery after engaging with a supposedly interactive installation. While museums and galleries are meant to be safe spaces for creativity and expression, venue owners have a legal responsibility to ensure that their installations don’t put visitors at risk. This case is a reminder that negligence in public spaces—no matter how artistic—can lead to serious harm. ⸻ The Incident: Slippery Design Puts Visitor at Risk Our client visited a contemporary gallery in Manhattan that featured an interactive staircase-style exhibit, encouraging visitors to climb and explore. Unfortunately, the structure was dangerously slick and lacked proper grip or warnings. As our client descended the exhibit, he lost his footing and fell, suffering a painful knee injury. What was meant to be a fun, immersive experience quickly turned into a painful and costly ordeal. ⸻ The Injury: Knee Surgery Required The fall caused a significant knee injury, including damage that ultimately required surgical repair. Beyond the physical pain, our client faced medical bills, time off work, and emotional stress—all stemming from an avoidable accident. ⸻ The Legal Outcome: Fast Settlement, No Litigation Attorney Justin Blitz handled the case with urgency and compassion. Rather than enter into a lengthy lawsuit, Blitz Law Group was able to negotiate a $140,000 settlement before litigation even began, ensuring our client received fair compensation quickly. ⸻ The Bigger Picture: Safety in Public Spaces Matters Interactive art has become increasingly popular, but that doesn’t excuse poor planning or unsafe design. Property owners and event organizers have a duty of care to their visitors. That means ensuring surfaces are non-slip, clearly marking hazards, and maintaining safe conditions—especially when encouraging physical interaction. When that duty is neglected, and someone gets hurt, the injured party has every right to seek justice. ⸻ Injured at a Gallery or Public Venue? Know Your Rights Whether you’re visiting an art gallery, museum, or any public attraction in New York, you deserve to feel safe. If you’re ever injured on someone else’s property due to their negligence, here’s what you should do: ✅ Seek medical attention immediately 📸 Document the scene and your injuries 📄 Report the incident to the venue 📞 Call an experienced personal injury attorney ⸻ Blitz Law Group Is Here to Help If you or someone you know has suffered an injury due to unsafe conditions at a public venue, contact Blitz Law Group today.

$150,000 Settlement Secured for Client Injured in Dog Bite Incident in Central Park At Blitz Law Group, we understand how traumatic and unexpected animal attacks can be—especially when they happen in the heart of New York City. Recently, our firm, led by attorney Justin Blitz, secured a $150,000 settlement for a client who was bitten by a dog in Central Park. This case serves as an important reminder that even in public spaces like parks, pet owners are legally responsible for controlling their animals and preventing injuries to others. ⸻ The Incident: An Afternoon Walk Gone Wrong Our client, a Manhattan resident, was enjoying a walk in Central Park with her Bernese Mountain Dog. As she approached the carousel path near the northern exit, a golden retriever, off-leash and unrestrained, suddenly charged toward them. Reacting instinctively to protect her dog, our client raised her hand—only to be bitten multiple times on her right hand by the approaching retriever. ⸻ The Injuries: Serious Hand Fractures The bite resulted in fractures to three bones in her hand: the 3rd, 4th, and 5th metacarpals—the bones that run from the wrist to the fingers. These injuries caused significant pain, limited mobility, and required medical intervention and ongoing care. ⸻ The Legal Strategy: Fast Resolution Without Trial Without needing to go through a lengthy litigation process, Justin Blitz was able to negotiate directly with the dog owner’s homeowners insurance company. Thanks to a proactive and strategic approach, we reached a $150,000 settlement that fairly compensated our client for her pain, suffering, and medical costs. ⸻ What to Do If You’re Bitten by a Dog in NYC Dog bites are more than just painful—they can lead to serious injury, infection, and long-term trauma. If you’re bitten by a dog in New York, here’s what you should do immediately: ✅ Get medical attention – Always prioritize your health. ✅ Take photos of your injuries and the dog (if possible). ✅ Get witness info – Anyone nearby may be able to help support your case. ✅ Report the incident – Call 311 or notify park authorities. ✅ Call a personal injury attorney – Dog bite cases often involve homeowners insurance policies. A lawyer can help you get the compensation you deserve. ⸻ You Deserve a Lawyer Who Will Fight for You Dog owners have a legal duty to prevent their pets from harming others. When that duty is breached, Blitz Law Group is here to make sure victims are heard and compensated. If you or someone you know has been injured in a dog attack, don’t wait to get legal help. 📞 Call us at (212) 871-1300 📧 Email info@blitzlawgroup.com 🌐 Visit https://www.blitzlawgroup.com 📱 Follow us on social media @blitz_law_group You don’t pay us unless we win.

$275,000 Medical Malpractice Settlement for Elderly Client After Spinal Surgery Error At Blitz Law Group, we’re committed to fighting for patients whose trust in the medical system has been broken. In one of our recent medical malpractice cases, attorney Justin Blitz secured a $275,000 settlement for a 70-year-old client whose life was turned upside down after a preventable surgical decision led to devastating spinal complications. ⸻ A Patient’s Trust, A Doctor’s Responsibility Our client suffered from a complicated back injury that initially required spinal surgery and the implantation of hardware to support her spine. However, the hardware later caused discomfort, and she sought to have it removed. Her surgeon originally advised against the procedure, expressing concern that her low body weight might prevent her spine from withstanding the stress of hardware removal. He told her she needed to gain weight before undergoing another operation. Despite not meeting the weight threshold, the surgeon proceeded with the surgery anyway, removing the hardware. The result? Her spine collapsed. ⸻ The Aftermath: Multiple Surgeries and Permanent Changes The consequences were severe. Following the collapse of her spine, our client had to undergo multiple corrective surgeries to stabilize her spine and restore the upright position of her neck. What should have been a cautious, medically sound decision instead became a painful journey marked by:     •    Physical suffering     •    Emotional distress     •    Financial burden     •    Loss of independence and quality of life ⸻ Holding Medical Professionals Accountable This case was about more than just a surgical error—it was about disregarding clear medical advice and endangering a vulnerable patient. Doctors have a duty to follow standards of care, especially when dealing with elderly or high-risk patients. When they fail to do so, the consequences can be life-altering. Justin Blitz pursued the case aggressively, engaging in extensive litigation and negotiation with both the surgeon’s legal team and the hospital’s attorneys. Thanks to this effort, we secured a $275,000 settlement that will help cover the costs of additional treatment and provide some measure of justice for what our client endured. ⸻ What to Do If You Suspect Medical Malpractice If you believe a medical professional’s mistake has caused you or a loved one harm, here are the steps to take: ✅ Get a second opinion and document your symptoms ✅ Request your full medical records ✅ Document every conversation and procedure ✅ Speak with an experienced medical malpractice attorney immediately ⸻ Blitz Law Group Is Here for You Medical malpractice cases are some of the most complex and emotional legal matters. They require a legal team that understands both the law and the human impact.

$350,000 Settlement for Tenant Injured After Falling Through Floor in Great Neck NY Rental Home At Blitz Law Group, we fight for tenants who are injured due to unsafe living conditions. In a recent case, attorney Fred Schulman secured a $350,000 settlement for a 41-year-old woman who suffered serious injuries after falling through a defective floorboard in the rental home she occupied in Great Neck, NY. ⸻ A Simple Accident Revealed a Serious Hazard Linsfranc Injury Illustration Our client was simply going about her evening when the incident occurred. Her young daughter accidentally spilled a bottle of nail polish on the living room floor. As any parent would, our client stood up to grab napkins from the dining room table to clean the spill. But as she made her way across the living room, a dangerous and defective floorboard gave out, causing her to trip and fall through the floor. The fall resulted in severe injuries to her ankle, including:     •    Lisfranc fractures     •    Rupture of Lisfranc ligaments These painful and complex injuries required two surgeries to repair, significantly impacting our client’s mobility, quality of life, and ability to care for her family. ⸻ The Landlord’s Responsibility Landlords are legally obligated to maintain safe and habitable living conditions. This includes regularly inspecting the property and addressing hazardous conditions like weak floorboards or unstable structures. When they fail to do so, tenants are put at serious risk—and landlords can be held liable for their negligence. In this case, litigation revealed that the defective flooring was a known and preventable hazard, which should have been repaired or replaced before the property was rented. ⸻ Justice Through Litigation Fred Schulman, Esq. After extensive discovery and negotiations, Fred Schulman resolved the case through mediation, securing $350,000 in compensation for our client. The settlement covers medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care related to her ankle injuries. ⸻ What to Do If You’re Injured in a Rental Property If you’re injured due to dangerous conditions in your home or apartment, follow these steps to protect your rights: ✅ Seek medical attention immediately ✅ Report the incident to the landlord in writing ✅ Document everything – take photos of the hazard and your injuries ✅ Contact a personal injury attorney experienced in premises liability cases ⸻ Blitz Law Group Fights for Injured Tenants Unsafe rental properties are far too common—and we’re here to hold negligent landlords accountable.

$900,000 Medical Malpractice Settlement for Hip Surgery Gone Wrong At Blitz Law Group, we are committed to holding medical professionals accountable when their negligence causes life-altering harm. We recently secured a $900,000 settlement for a 67-year-old client who suffered a permanent foot drop following a botched hip replacement surgery. ⸻ The Case: Nerve Damage After Routine Hip Surgery Our client required a total hip replacement due to a debilitating degenerative condition that affected his mobility and quality of life. Unfortunately, instead of relieving his pain, the surgery left him with permanent nerve damage. During the operation, the surgeon improperly placed a retractor through soft tissue, damaging the femoral nerve—a critical nerve responsible for leg movement and sensation. This injury caused a permanent foot drop, a condition where the front of the foot drags due to muscle weakness or nerve damage. The malpractice was confirmed when, during a later nerve decompression surgery, a significant amount of scar tissue was found wrapped around the femoral nerve, indicating surgical trauma. ⸻ The Fight for Justice Medical malpractice cases are notoriously difficult and complex. Hospitals and insurance carriers often refuse to admit fault, even when the evidence is clear. But at Blitz Law Group, we know how to build a strong case. Through extensive litigation, expert testimony, and a rigorous discovery process, we demonstrated that the surgical team deviated from the accepted standard of care. On the eve of trial, we secured a $900,000 settlement for our client—giving him the financial support he needs to manage his condition and move forward. ⸻ What to Do If You Suspect Medical Malpractice If you or a loved one has experienced serious complications after a medical procedure, it’s critical to take action quickly: ✅ Get a second medical opinion A new doctor can confirm whether the injury was preventable or the result of a medical error. ✅ Request your medical records These documents are essential for understanding what went wrong and for your attorney to review. ✅ Contact a medical malpractice attorney You have a limited time to file a claim. In New York, the statute of limitations is typically 2.5 years from the date of the malpractice—or from the end of continuous treatment. ⸻ Blitz Law Group Fights for Victims of Medical Negligence We’re not afraid to go head-to-head with hospitals and large insurance companies.
