$550,000 Settlement Secured for Sidewalk Injury Case—How Blitz Law Group Wins These Cases A simple walk down the street shouldn’t end in life-altering injuries—but for one of our clients, that’s exactly what happened. While walking in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, she suffered a serious fall due to a broken and defective sidewalk, leading to severe shoulder injuries that required three surgeries to repair. After years of dedicated litigation, Justin Blitz successfully secured a $550,000 settlement to compensate for her pain, medical expenses, and lost quality of life. How Blitz Law Group Wins Defective Sidewalk Cases New York City property owners and the local government have a legal responsibility to maintain sidewalks in a safe condition. When dangerous defects are left unrepaired, they can cause catastrophic injuries—and in many cases, the City already knows about the hazard but fails to fix it. One of the most powerful tools in proving municipal negligence is the Big Apple Map—a system created in the 1980s by Bert Blitz, Justin Blitz’s father, for the New York State Trial Lawyers Association . The map documents sidewalk hazards that have been reported to the City, helping personal injury attorneys prove that officials were aware of dangerous conditions yet failed to act. In this case, Blitz Law Group successfully demonstrated that the City had prior notice of the sidewalk defect using this invaluable legal tool. Armed with this evidence, we fought tirelessly to hold the City accountable, ultimately securing a fair and just settlement for our client. Other Sidewalk Injury Cases We’ve Won Blitz Law Group has a long track record of winning sidewalk injury cases for New Yorkers who have suffered due to negligence. Some of our notable case results include:     •    $2.5 Million Settlement – For a woman who suffered a severe leg injury due to a broken sidewalk in Brooklyn.     •    $875,000 Settlement – For a pedestrian who tripped on a raised sidewalk slab, resulting in knee and spinal injuries.     •    $650,000 Settlement – For an elderly man who fractured his hip in a fall caused by an uneven sidewalk. These cases highlight how dangerous poorly maintained sidewalks can be and why victims deserve justice and financial compensation for their suffering. What to Do If You’re Injured Due to a Defective Sidewalk If you suffer a trip-and-fall injury on a defective sidewalk, taking the right steps immediately can make a big difference in your case:     1.    Document the Scene – Take clear photos of the hazardous sidewalk, including close-ups and wide shots showing the surrounding area.     2.    Get Medical Attention – Even if injuries seem minor, get checked by a doctor. Some conditions worsen over time.     3.    Report the Incident – File a complaint with 311 or the Department of Transportation to document the hazard.     4.    Contact an Attorney ASAP – New York City has strict deadlines for filing sidewalk injury claims, especially when suing the City. A skilled attorney can investigate, gather evidence, and handle legal deadlines for you. The Clock is Ticking.

The Importance of Maintaining Evidence in Truck Accident Cases Truck accidents can cause devastating injuries and life-altering consequences. When these accidents occur, securing evidence as soon as possible is critical for building a strong case and ensuring victims receive the compensation they deserve. Unfortunately, key evidence can disappear quickly if not preserved properly, which is why knowing what to do after a truck accident is essential. In the latest episode of Insights with Justin Blitz, we explore why maintaining evidence is so important in truck accident cases and how victims can protect their rights. Why Evidence Matters in Truck Accident Cases Unlike typical car accidents, truck accidents involve multiple parties—drivers, trucking companies, vehicle manufacturers, and even maintenance crews. Establishing liability requires strong evidence that proves negligence, such as:     •     Black Box Data – Most commercial trucks are equipped with electronic logging devices (ELDs) or event data recorders (EDRs), also known as “black boxes.” These devices capture crucial data, including speed, braking patterns, and hours of service, which can help determine if driver fatigue, speeding, or mechanical failure contributed to the crash.     •     Dashcam or Surveillance Footage – Video evidence from dashcams, nearby traffic cameras, or surveillance footage from businesses near the crash site can provide clear proof of how the accident happened.     •     Truck Maintenance Records – Trucking companies are responsible for ensuring their vehicles are properly maintained. Maintenance logs can reveal whether a truck had faulty brakes, worn tires, or other mechanical issues that played a role in the accident.     •     Driver Logs and Employment Records – Federal regulations limit the number of hours a truck driver can be on the road without rest. Reviewing driver logs and employment records can reveal violations of these rules, indicating negligence on the part of the trucking company.     •     Eyewitness Testimony – Statements from people who witnessed the accident can provide additional perspectives on how the crash occurred. What You Should Do After a Truck Accident If you’re involved in a truck accident, taking immediate steps to preserve evidence is crucial. Here are a few key actions to take:     1.     Seek medical attention – Your health and safety come first. Even if you don’t feel seriously injured, some injuries may not be immediately apparent.     2.     Document the scene – If possible, take photos or videos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, skid marks, and road conditions.     3.     Get witness contact information – If there were bystanders or other drivers who saw the accident, ask for their contact information so their statements can be collected later.     4.     Do not sign anything from insurance companies – Insurance companies may try to get you to settle quickly for less than what you deserve. Speak with an attorney before signing any documents.     5.     Contact an experienced truck accident attorney – A lawyer can send a legal notice, called a spoliation letter, to the trucking company requiring them to preserve critical evidence such as black box data and maintenance records.

$4.5 Million Settlement Secured for Injured Ironworker at World Trade Center Construction Site At Blitz Law Group, we are committed to fighting for injured workers, ensuring they receive the justice and compensation they deserve. We are proud to announce that Justin Blitz has secured a $4.5 million settlement on behalf of an ironworker who suffered life-altering injuries while working on the construction of a new World Trade Center building. The Incident: A Devastating Fall Construction work, especially in high-risk environments like the World Trade Center site, comes with inherent dangers. Our client, a dedicated and experienced ironworker, was performing his duties when he tragically fell from a plank at the job site. The fall resulted in a severe hip injury, which ultimately required hip replacement surgery and left him facing a long, painful recovery. The Impact: A Career Cut Short The injuries sustained in the accident permanently ended our client’s ability to work as an ironworker. The physically demanding nature of his profession made it impossible for him to return to the work he had dedicated his life to. As a result, he not only faced significant medical expenses but also lost his livelihood and the financial security that came with it. The Fight for Justice Determined to hold the responsible parties accountable, Justin Blitz took immediate action, filing a lawsuit to fight for our client’s rights. The case involved years of rigorous litigation, where Mr. Blitz and our legal team aggressively pursued the maximum compensation possible. During trial, Mr. Blitz successfully negotiated a $4.5 million settlement, ensuring our client would receive the financial support necessary to move forward with his life. While no amount of money can undo the pain and suffering caused by the accident, this settlement provides the resources needed for medical care, rehabilitation, and long-term financial security. Advocating for Injured Workers This case is a powerful reminder of the dangers construction workers face daily and the importance of fighting for their rights when workplace negligence leads to catastrophic injuries.

Auto insurance is more than just a legal obligation—it’s a financial safety net that can make all the difference in the aftermath of an accident. Whether you’re dealing with medical expenses, vehicle repairs, or legal claims, having the right coverage ensures you’re protected when life takes an unexpected turn. At Blitz Law Group, we’ve seen firsthand how crucial auto insurance is for our clients, and we’re here to share why it’s essential to have the right policy in place. The Importance of Having Auto Insurance and why it is Crucial Legal Requirements In New York, as in most states, having auto insurance is mandatory. The minimum required coverage includes liability insurance to cover damages or injuries you may cause to others. Failing to meet these requirements can result in fines, license suspension, and other legal penalties. Financial Protection in Accidents Auto insurance shields you from the potentially devastating financial consequences of an accident. Without it, you could be responsible for paying out-of-pocket for vehicle repairs, medical bills, and legal fees. Coverage for Uninsured or Underinsured Drivers Despite legal requirements, not all drivers have adequate insurance. If you’re involved in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver, your own insurance policy can provide the coverage you need to recover damages. Peace of Mind Accidents are stressful, but having comprehensive coverage can alleviate some of that stress. Knowing that your policy will handle the financial aftermath allows you to focus on recovery. What Does Auto Insurance Cover? Auto insurance policies vary, but here are some common types of coverage:     •     Liability Coverage: Covers damages and injuries to others if you’re at fault in an accident.     •     Collision Coverage: Pays for damages to your vehicle regardless of who’s at fault.     •     Comprehensive Coverage: Covers non-collision-related damages, such as theft, vandalism, or weather damage.     •     Personal Injury Protection (PIP): Covers medical expenses for you and your passengers.     •     Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage: Protects you if you’re hit by a driver without adequate insurance. Real-World Examples At Blitz Law Group, we’ve handled countless cases where proper insurance coverage made a significant difference. For instance:     •    Case Example 1: A client with full coverage was able to recover damages for their totaled car and medical expenses after an accident with an uninsured driver. Their uninsured motorist coverage provided the financial support they needed to move forward.     •    Case Example 2: Another client, without adequate collision coverage, faced mounting repair costs after a severe accident. Unfortunately, their lack of proper insurance left them struggling to cover expenses. These cases highlight the importance of not only having insurance but ensuring your policy is comprehensive enough to cover potential scenarios. How to Choose the Right Policy     1.     Assess Your Needs: Consider your driving habits, vehicle value, and financial situation.     2.     Understand State Requirements: In New York, liability insurance is mandatory, but additional coverage can provide extra security.     3.     Shop Around: Compare policies from different providers to find the best coverage at the best price.     4.     Work with a Trusted Agent: An experienced insurance agent can help you navigate the complexities of policy options. Blitz Law Group is Here to Help At Blitz Law Group, we’ve seen how vital auto insurance can be in protecting our clients. Whether you’ve been involved in an accident or want to ensure you’re adequately covered, we’re here to provide the guidance you need. Don’t wait until it’s too late to review your auto insurance policy. Protect yourself and your loved ones by securing the right coverage today. Your safety and financial security are our top priorities. The clock is ticking. Contact Blitz Law Group, LLP today! Visit https://www.blitzlawgroup.com/contact  to submit your case electronically.

Understanding Wrongful Death Law in New York: A Case of Justice for a Family’s Loss Blitz Law Group, LLP, is proud to announce the resolution of a deeply tragic wrongful death case that underscores the critical importance of accountability in medical care. Our client, a 38-year-old man, lost his life after being improperly discharged from an Albany-area hospital, leaving behind his loving wife and three young children. This case highlights the intersection of medical negligence and New York’s wrongful death laws. In New York, a wrongful death claim can be filed when someone’s death is caused by the negligence or wrongful act of another party. These claims allow family members to seek compensation for the emotional and financial losses associated with their loved one’s passing. The Tragic Case Our client sought medical attention for chest pains and exhibited abnormal troponin levels—a key indicator of heart muscle damage. Instead of receiving the care he urgently needed, he was prematurely sent home. Tragically, he suffered a fatal heart attack later that evening. Troponin tests measure proteins released into the blood when the heart muscle is damaged, offering crucial insights into the severity of heart conditions. The failure to act on these abnormal results was a clear breach of the standard of care, leading to a preventable and devastating loss. Legal Action and Resolution Blitz Law Group filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the hospital and attending physician, holding them accountable for their negligence. Over three years of extensive litigation, Justin Blitz and his team fought tirelessly for justice. The defendants refused to offer a settlement, pushing the case toward trial at Albany Supreme Court. However, just days before the trial, Mr. Blitz secured a $1.5 million settlement on behalf of the estate. While no monetary award can replace the irreplaceable, this settlement will provide financial support to the family, ensuring a stable future for the children left behind. Insights into Wrongful Death Law in New York Under New York law, wrongful death claims must be brought by the personal representative of the deceased’s estate within two years of the death. Compensation in these cases can include:     •    Funeral and burial expenses     •    Loss of financial support for dependents     •    Loss of services and parental guidance     •    Medical expenses related to the injury that caused the death It’s important to note that New York does not allow compensation for emotional pain and suffering experienced by surviving family members, making the financial aspects of a settlement or verdict even more crucial for the future stability of a family. Commitment to Justice At Blitz Law Group, we understand the profound impact of losing a loved one due to negligence. Cases like these are about more than just financial compensation—they are about holding parties accountable and helping families rebuild their lives. If you’ve experienced the loss of a loved one and believe it may have been caused by negligence, our team is here to guide you. We are dedicated to fighting for justice and fair compensation, providing legal expertise and compassionate support every step of the way. The clock is ticking. Contact Blitz Law Group, LLP today!

Impacts of Medical Expert Testimony Medical Expert Testimony in Personal Injury Cases When pursuing a personal injury or medical malpractice case, the stakes are high—not just for the individuals seeking justice, but for the legal teams representing them. One critical tool that can shape the outcome of these cases is medical expert testimony. These expert opinions can bridge the gap between complex medical evidence and legal decision-making, offering clarity and credibility to the claims being made. However, like any tool, medical expert testimony comes with both advantages and challenges. In this blog post, we’ll explore the role of medical experts, their potential impact on your case, and how Blitz Law Group carefully navigates these factors to secure the best outcomes for our clients. What is Medical Expert Testimony? Medical expert testimony is when a qualified healthcare professional provides their expert opinion in court. This could involve explaining:     •    The nature and extent of a plaintiff’s injuries.     •    Whether medical negligence occurred.     •    The long-term impact of injuries on the plaintiff’s quality of life. These testimonies help judges and juries understand highly technical medical details that are crucial to the case. The Positive Impact of Medical Expert Testimony 1. Simplifying Complex Medical Evidence Personal injury and medical malpractice cases often hinge on intricate medical issues. For example, a traumatic brain injury case might require an expert to explain how even mild symptoms can have lasting effects on memory and cognition. Without this expertise, the significance of these injuries may be overlooked. Real-World Example: In a recent case handled by Blitz Law Group, a medical expert’s testimony was key to securing a $1.25 million settlement for a client. The expert detailed how the hospital’s failure to diagnose an infection led to permanent complications, helping the jury connect the dots between the negligence and the patient’s suffering. 2. Establishing a Standard of Care In medical malpractice cases, expert testimony is essential for demonstrating that a healthcare provider failed to meet the standard of care expected in their field. This comparison can illustrate how the defendant’s actions (or lack thereof) caused harm to the plaintiff. 3. Strengthening Credibility Having a well-respected medical expert testify can lend significant credibility to your case. Their professional background and impartial analysis can help sway the jury in your favor. The Challenges of Medical Expert Testimony 1. Opposing Experts In many cases, the defense will introduce their own medical expert to dispute your claims. These experts may argue that the injuries were pre-existing or caused by something other than the defendant’s actions. Example: In a motor vehicle accident case, a defense expert might argue that the plaintiff’s chronic back pain stems from an old sports injury rather than the crash itself. Combatting this requires a skilled legal team capable of challenging the opposing expert’s credibility. 2. Costs Involved Retaining a credible medical expert can be expensive, especially for cases that require multiple experts in different fields. This is why it’s crucial to work with a law firm that has the resources and network to bring in the right experts without compromising your case. 3. Jury Bias While medical experts are meant to be impartial, juries may perceive some as biased, especially if they regularly testify in legal cases. Selecting the right expert—someone with a balance of experience and impartiality—is critical. How Blitz Law Group Maximizes the Impact of Expert Testimony At Blitz Law Group, we understand that the right medical expert can be the cornerstone of a winning case. Our approach includes:     •    Partnering with top-tier medical professionals who have relevant experience in the fields of medicine at issue in the case.     •    Thorough preparation to ensure that the expert’s testimony is clear, concise, and directly addresses the key points of the case.     •    Anticipating challenges from opposing experts to counter their arguments effectively and preserve the integrity of your claim. Tips for Clients Involved in Cases with Medical Experts If you’re pursuing a personal injury or medical malpractice claim, here are a few things to keep in mind:     1.    Be transparent about your medical history. This allows your attorney to anticipate potential challenges.     2.    Trust the process. Your legal team will vet and select the best experts to support your case.     3.    Keep detailed records. Medical records and documentation are critical for supporting expert testimony. Final Thoughts Medical expert testimony plays a pivotal role in personal injury and medical malpractice cases, but its effectiveness depends on careful selection, preparation, and execution. At Blitz Law Group, we leverage the power of expert testimony while navigating its challenges to achieve justice for our clients.
