Common Accidents in Midtown East

Midtown East’s mix of commercial towers, subway stations, and tourist destinations leads to unique accident risks:

  • Sidewalk and pedestrian accidents near Grand Central and Park Avenue
  • Construction site injuries from ongoing high-rise developments
  • Delivery truck and vehicle collisions on busy cross streets
  • Slip and fall accidents in hotels, restaurants, and office buildings

Understanding where and how these accidents occur helps us identify all liable parties and build strong liability and damages claims.

Transit Access and Accident Patterns

Midtown East connects through major transit lines including the 4, 5, 6, 7, E, M, N, Q, R, and W subway lines, plus Grand Central Terminal, linking commuters to Westchester and Connecticut via Metro-North.

Such connectivity means dense pedestrian clusters during rush hour and near bus stops which can be a major factor in sidewalk and crosswalk injury cases.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT LAWYER
MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE

In 2007, a Manhattan defense attorney bragged to Brett Nomberg that our client’s case was worth 11 cents. The jury came back with a $4.5 million verdict.

In 2014, a New York defense lawyer tried to conceal evidence from Brett Nomberg. That attorney was sanctioned $10,000 and the insurance company then settled for $3.9 million.

In 2021, a defense attorney tried to conceal a surveillance tape of the accident. Brett Nomberg made a motion for sanctions and the court as punishment held the defendant was entirely responsible for the accident. The case then settled for $1.7 million.
