Ferry accident in Brooklyn blamed on equipment failure

June 30, 2021

New York – A private ferry boat accident occurred when the boat ran aground this past ‎weekend. Reports show that the ship was filled with over 100 people when it suffered a steering ‎failure and the engine was apparently unresponsive. Luckily the Fire Department of New York (FDNY) ‎emergency responders were able to located the damaged vessel quickly and rescue the passengers. ‎Officials say that at least one person on board the boat crash suffered injuries. That injury victim was ‎taken to the hospital for emergency evaluation. It is unclear if any other accident victims sought ‎medical care after being rescued. Boat and sailing safety experts say that there have been several ‎boating accidents in New York over the past few months. Transportation and boat safety Investigators ‎will need to examine the maintenance logs and safety protocols followed by the ferry company in ‎order to determine if any negligent maintenance could have helped lead to this boat crash. See this ‎article for more about these ferry crash.‎

I was walking down the street with my kid and a cab knocked me down. Next thing I knew, I woke up in Columbia Presb. My cousin told me to call Morrison & Wagner. He came right over to the hospital and began helping me. Over the next year, he fought my case until I was paid fully for my pain and suffering. I am so happy I gave them a call.

I went in to the NY Operating Room for a serious procedure on my back. The doctors were negligent, and caused me pain during and after the stay. Their mistake made my walking, working and everyday functioning difficult. Fortunately, attorney Eric Morrison fought my case and made sure that the doctors would compensate me for their mistakes. I highly recommend Morrison & Wagner.

We were heartbroken when the hospital called us to come down. Our elderly father was hit by a city bus, and killed. We did not know what to do. We contacted Morrison & Wagner, as friends of ours recommended them. Indeed, they were professional and focused. They successfully recovered more than any of us expected, and helped us move on from the terrible loss.

The ceiling crashed down on me at work and they rushed me to the hospital. I had to go for shoulder surgery and a lot of therapy for all of my injuries. I just didn’t know how the whole system worked but my co-worker told me who could help. That’s when I made the call to Morrison & Wagner. The worker’s comp lawyer helped me through the whole case and explained it all to me. He got the money from my employer in order to cover my medical bills and suffering.

After getting surgery on my broken arm and the electrocution burns treated, I realized that I needed to deal with all of the bills that were coming in. I called the Morrison & Wagner lawyers because they were so well recommended by people who’d actually used them. They helped me settle my case so that I didn’t have to worry about finding the money to pay my bills.
