How Are Serious Injury Car Accident Damages Calculated in New York?
Serious injury car accident damages in New York may include economic and non-economic losses. Under New York Insurance Law Section 5104, a serious injury may permit recovery for non-economic loss, while excess economic loss is addressed separately. CPLR Article 14-A may reduce or, in certain motor vehicle cases, bar recovery based on the claimant’s share of fault.

Employment Contract: a Bronx Lawyer'S Strategy for Review and Disputes
Employment law does not change at the county line. What matters about working in the Bronx is that you work in New York City. The City's Human Rights Law is broader than the State's or the federal statute. It applies a lower threshold to conduct, covers employers the other statutes miss, and is construed liberally by design. For most employees in the five boroughs it is the strongest claim available — and the one least often raised, because the federal statute is the one people have heard of. At-will means the contract matters more, not less. New York does not recognize a public policy exception. Absent a written agreement, discipline and termination are largely unconstrained, which is why the terms accepted at hire tend to determine what is available later. Where a claim is filed depends on its size and its type, not on the borough. A discrimination claim filed with an administrative agency will generally foreclose bringing the same claim in court — a choice most people make without knowing it was one.

Terminate Engagement without Creating Contract Disputes or Legal Risks
Terminate engagement by following contractual notice requirements, understanding for-cause and without-cause termination, and reducing breach-of-contract risks under New York law. Whether you terminate engagement because of a contractual breach, changing business needs, or mutual agreement, following the correct legal process is essential. Terminate engagement only after reviewing your agreement, identifying whether the termination is for cause or without cause, and providing proper written notice. From my experience, many disputes arise from procedural mistakes rather than the decision itself. Understanding how to terminate engagement correctly helps reduce legal risks, protect your contractual rights, and avoid unnecessary litigation.

What Must a Corporation Prove in an Epc Case?
An EPC case is a civil proceeding in which a corporation seeks to recover money or enforce rights based on alleged breach of contract, tort, statutory violation, or similar grounds. The corporation must establish its legal claim through evidence, testimony, and procedural compliance. The threshold requirement is meeting the applicable burden of proof, which in most civil cases means proving the claim by a preponderance of the evidence (more likely than not). What determines whether a case survives early dismissal or summary judgment is the strength of the corporation's pleading, the sufficiency of documented damages, and the absence of procedural defects such as missed filing deadlines or improper service.

What Is Advertising and Marketing Law? Key Legal Risks Businesses Miss
Advertising and marketing law governs the legal obligations, restrictions, and remedies that apply when businesses promote goods, services, or ideas to consumers, competitors, or the public. The regulatory framework combines federal statutes (primarily the Federal Trade Commission Act), state consumer protection laws, and common law doctrines that impose duties of truthfulness, substantiation, and fair dealing. Violations can result in injunctions, civil penalties, consumer refunds, corrective advertising orders, and private lawsuits for damages or unjust enrichment. This article addresses the core legal standards, key enforcement mechanisms, the distinction between permissible puffery and unlawful deception, and the procedural postures that arise when disputes over advertising claims reach litigation or administrative review.

This guide covers how stock manipulation occurs, what courts require to establish liability, what penalties apply, and how it differs from insider trading, so you can recognize warning signs and protect your rights before losses grow.
