On behalf of Rosenthal Kooshoian & Lennon, LLP
May 14, 2025
New York lost 201 motorcyclists to traffic crashes in 2023. Riders are a small slice of the vehicles on the road, yet they make up about 15 percent of everyone killed on New York highways. That gap is the whole story, and it's why these New York motorcycle accident statistics matter to anyone who rides […]

May 07, 2025
If you ride in New York, or you're thinking about it, the helmet question comes up fast, and the answer here is stricter than a lot of riders expect. Some states only make younger riders wear one. New York isn't one of them. Whether you're twenty or sixty, on your own bike or riding on […]

On behalf of Rosenthal Kooshoian & Lennon, LLP
Apr 28, 2025
If a distracted driver hits you, get medical care first, call the police so there's a report, and document everything at the scene, especially anything showing the driver wasn't paying attention. Their words, a phone in their hand, witnesses, and physical evidence like a lack of braking all help prove the distraction that caused your […]

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Buffalo?

On behalf of Rosenthal Kooshoian & Lennon, LLP
Apr 21, 2025
Under New York law, only one person can file a wrongful death claim: the personal representative of the estate of the person who died, meaning the executor or the court-appointed administrator. The surviving spouse, children, or parents don't file it themselves, but they're usually the ones who share in the recovery. Most families are surprised […]

How to Prevent Distracted Driving in Buffalo

On behalf of Rosenthal Kooshoian & Lennon, LLP
Apr 17, 2025
Distracted driving is one of the few causes of serious crashes that's almost entirely preventable. Nobody sets out to hurt someone because they glanced at a text. It just happens, in the two seconds it takes to read a message, check a map, or reach for a coffee, and on a snowy Buffalo road where […]

What Should Parents Know About Teen Distracted Driving?

On behalf of Rosenthal Kooshoian & Lennon, LLP
Apr 08, 2025
Teen distracted driving is one of the deadliest risks a new driver faces, and it goes well beyond texting.

How To File Civil Suit For a Car Accident in Buffalo

On behalf of Rosenthal Kooshoian & Lennon, LLP
Mar 06, 2025
To file a car accident lawsuit in New York, you first meet the state's serious injury threshold, then your attorney files a summons and complaint in the county Supreme Court, serves the at-fault driver, and moves through discovery toward settlement or trial. Most cases settle. But the filing itself has strict deadlines and rules, which […]

What Happens When You Reject a Car Insurance Settlement Offer?

On behalf of Rosenthal Kooshoian & Lennon, LLP
Mar 01, 2025
Rejecting a car insurance settlement offer does not end your claim. It starts a negotiation. When you turn down an offer, you or your lawyer send back a counter-number backed by evidence, the insurer responds, and the two sides go back and forth toward a fair figure, or the case moves toward a lawsuit. A […]
