Staten Island is a popular location for people looking for an accessible home that is more affordable than those in the other boroughs. It is New York’s most suburban boroughs and is easily accessible to the rest of New York via the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge and the Staten Island Ferry. Three bridges also connect Staten Island to New Jersey. The island has an active arts scene, a number of exceptional museums and gardens, and beautiful historic homes. Almost a half million people make their home on Staten Island, and thousands more cross the island every day on their way to and from Brooklyn, Manhattan and New Jersey.
Like any busy, highly populated area, Staten Island is a place where all kinds of accidents can happen. Many of them will be serious. If you or a member of your family is involved in a serious accident and the other party is to blame, you deserve to be compensated for your injuries and expenses.
Escalators are a regular source of accidents in Staten Island. Whether caused by overcrowding, malfunction or an unsafe condition, an escalator accident can be frightening and can lead to lasting injury. In the event you or someone you love is injured in an escalator accident, an attorney can advise you if you have a claim for compensation. Talk to an experienced legal professional promptly to ensure that you preserve your rights.
