New York Personal Injury Lawyer from The Perecman Firm Argues for More Bicycle Accident Investigations in New York

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012


New York, New York (PRWEB) April 26, 2012

New York City resident Michelle Matson was hospitalized in 2010 after being hit by a car while bicycle riding in Brooklyn.

Recently CNN (4/20/2012) reported that the NYPD chose not to investigate the New York bicycle accident at all. Now, one and a half years later the driver has neither been found nor charged.

In their reporting, CNN confirmed that the NYPD only investigates traffic accidents involving imminent or actual death.

In a city where more and more cyclists are joining the cars on the road, the story is alarming to New York personal injury lawyers at The Perecman Firm, one of New York?s personal injury law firms.

According to CNN, bicycle accidents across the city are handled by one of 19 members of a special NYPD unit.

In 2010, 362 people were severely injured in bicycle accidents and 19 died, according to NYC Department of Motor Vehicles.

A Williamsburg lawmaker is pushing for a law that would force police to investigate all serious bicycle-auto accidents in New York City, reported The Brooklyn Paper.

New York personal injury lawyers at The Perecman Firm support this new bill.

?Bicyclists have the same rights on the road as cars and other motor vehicles,? said Perecman, a personal injury lawyer in New York who understands how the lives of bike accident victims, like Matson, can be changed forever due to the serious nature of injuries.

New York personal injury lawyer Perecman has over 30 years experience representing seriously injured victims of bicycle accidents in New York.

?The lawyers in my firm and I take it upon ourselves to investigate clients’ bicycle accident injury claims by analyzing evidence, including photos, road conditions, property damage and reports made by the police in New York,? personal injury lawyer Perecman said. ?Then we use this information to determine liability and fight for justice, including the maximum compensation our client is due.?

Individuals who have been seriously injured in an auto-bicycle accident, should contact experienced personal injury lawyers at The Perecman Firm at http://www.perecman.com.

New York Construction Accident Lawyer from The Perecman Firm Comments on Fight Over Crane Operator Licensing

Wednesday, April 25th, 2012


New York, New York (PRWEB) April 19, 2012

The continuing battle over efforts to modify the licensing requirements of big crane operators is of great concern to New York construction accident lawyers at The Perecman Firm.

At odds are the real estate industry and the union representing crane operators, said The New York Times (4/12/2012). The battle is especially poignant following the recent and fatal crane accident at the No. 7 train construction site.

?While saving money is a commonly cited reason for making changes, it is important to remember that New York is a city and safety should always be a top priority,? said New York construction accident lawyer David Perecman, the former head New York construction accident lawyer for the New York State Trial Lawyers Association and a lecturer on construction accident law.

According to The New York Times, the real estate industry is supporting a national exam that will allow crane operators from other cities to operate big cranes in New York. The city is backing this.

Operating Engineers Local 14, the union that represents crane operators, opposes the changes in New York and a number of construction accident lawyers agree with them.

According to union officials, New York?s dense urban environment demands crane operators with local experience and city-administered testing. They say that passing a national exam would not ensure a crane operator has the expertise to navigate the uniquely dense cityscape of New York City. The city currently requires operators to pass a local exam and run cranes as apprentices under a New York City-licensed crane operator.

Given the number of crane accidents in New York and the complexity of working in the city, New York construction accident lawyers at The Perecman Firm believe in safety-first.

If you have been injured or lost a loved one in a New York construction accident or crane accident, please contact the New York construction accident lawyers at The Perecman Firm at http://www.perecman.com.

American Century Investments? Research Shows Significant Increase in Smartphone and Mobile Device Use by Advisors to Access Social Media

Tuesday, April 24th, 2012


KANSAS CITY, Mo. (PRWEB) April 17, 2012

Although the majority of financial advisors still access social media through laptop and desktop computers, participation via smartphones and mobile devices jumped significantly over the past year, according to American Century Investments? third annual Financial Professionals Social Media Adoption Study. The research study examined advisor usage and attitudes toward social media such as Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and Twitter.

Roughly 35% of the financial professionals participating in the study indicated they utilized smartphones to access social media for business and personal use, versus 27% in last year?s study. Also, 22% used mobile devices such as iPads and other tablets, compared with only 11% last year.

?Given the rapid growth trends in both smartphone and tablet device ownership, it?s no surprise that social media access is growing through these devices, especially with apps that make it convenient to do so anywhere and anytime,? according to Jennifer Sussman, Director ? Digital Engagement for American Century Investments. At American Century Investments, we?re exploring ways to continue to make more of our content mobile-friendly.?

The study also found that six out of 10 advisors are using social media for business at least several times a week, with 27% accessing on a daily basis. ?With the proliferation of mobile devices, it will be interesting to see if convenience will drive even higher frequency of access,? Sussman said.

Facebook continued to hold the top position with 73% (vs. 55% in 2010) having profiles, but LinkedIn and Twitter jumped to 62% and 27% participation, respectively, vs. 45% and 16% respectively in 2010.

General Findings ? Social Media Business Users

Almost nine out of 10 financial professionals have a business or personal social profile or account.

?Reading expert commentary and insights? continued to be the leading planned use of social media this year, seeing a significant jump to 22% from 13% last year. ?Sharing news and content relevant to my clients? was the second-most popular planned use, followed by ?researching people, for example, prospects, contacts and current clients.?

Additionally, this year?s study saw a significant jump in advisors maintaining a professional blog (17% in 2012 vs. 9% in 2010). ?A blog is a great way for advisors to get their message out while revealing something about their personality, which helps in prospecting and building relationships,? Sussman said. ?It takes commitment to continue sharing insights, but when advisors do it well and optimize for search engines, they?re able to draw traffic from a much broader audience than one-on-one conversations can reach. Plus, the lengthier format and auto-archiving capabilities make it easier to meet compliance requirements within our regulated industry.?

Concerns About Using Social Media

As in previous years, advisors? single biggest apprehension about using social media for business purposes remained regulatory or compliance issues. Interestingly, however, that has varied ? but is trending down overall — over the past couple of years: 42% listed it as their ?single biggest concern? in 2012, vs. 38% in 2011 and 47% in 2010. Nearly tied for second were worries about a potential privacy breach at 19%, and concerns about company or home office restrictions on use at 18%.

Encouraging was the fact that 60% of study participants reported that their firm has a formal social media policy in place, up from 53% one year ago.

Attitudes and Overall Value

Further illustrating advisors? increasing acceptance and usage of social media were their opinions of business use of social media. This year, 57% felt social media is an ?emerging trend with significant future potential? for businesses like theirs, up significantly from only 44% in 2010. ?We saw that 21% of advisors believe social media is already producing tangible results for their business, which is a significant jump from just 14% two years ago,? Sussman said. ?Also, 14% felt using social media had ?high overall value,?? which was again a significant increase from only 8% two years ago. ?This says to us that while there is still room for growth, the trend is definitely shifting to greater recognition of the power that social media adds as a marketing and communication tool.?

Asset Manager Use of Social Media

Attitudes regarding asset manager use of social media are comparable to last year?s: again in 2012, nearly one-third of respondents feel that social media is a ?wise use? of asset managers? time and resources and just over one-third believe asset management firms are ?not yet seeing the value? of social media.????

LinkedIn groups were the ?most important? social media offering an asset manager can provide, according to nearly one out of four respondents, followed by ?providing an advisor community? for nearly one out of five, and a Facebook page for slightly fewer respondents.

In terms of content they want from asset managers via social media, commentary and market insight ranked number one with 60% of advisors who are social media users, followed closely by educational content to share with clients at 58%, then market news at 52%. ?At American Century Investments, our Twitter and Facebook posts are designed to drive advisors to our white papers, expert insights and video content,? Sussman said. However, non-social media users valued educational content to share with clients the most, followed by new product information, then commentary and market insight.

Survey Background

The results of American Century Investments? second annual Financial Professionals Social Media Adoption Study were drawn from an online survey of 300 financial professionals who are employed as financial advisors, brokers or registered investment advisors. Survey participants were members of Research Now (formerly e-Rewards), the largest ?by-invitation-only? online research panel provider. Meridian Marketing handled data collection and data weighting functions. Study participants averaged 14 years in the financial industry; roughly three-fourths were male and the average age was 45.

Capital Insurance Group Keeps Customers Updated with the Latest News on the California Carbon Monoxide Alarm Law

Saturday, April 21st, 2012

MONTEREY, Calif. (PRWEB) April 14, 2012

The new California carbon monoxide alarm law (SB183) is regulated by the California State Housing and Community Development Department. The Department updates various elements of the law in order to provide clearer understanding of the new regulations. Updates include the location and power supply of CO alarms and the distinction between new and existing construction. Under the new statewide carbon monoxide (CO) law, all single-family detached homes (owner or tenant occupied) must have been equipped with an alarm on or before July 1, 2011. All other residential units must be equipped with an alarm on or before January 1, 2013. The new law includes installation requirements and power supply regulations that need to be clearly understood to fully comply with the law. For recent updates to the carbon monoxide alarm law visit: http://www.hcd.ca.gov/codes/shl/2010cbccrc.html.

Carbon monoxide alarms must be installed and maintained in the following locations:

o????Outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms.

o????On every level of a dwelling unit, including basements.

Type of Alarms and Power Supply:

o????Existing Dwelling Units ? Carbon monoxide alarms in existing buildings may be solely battery- operated or plug-in type with battery back-up in areas where no construction is taking place.

o????Existing Units Where Permit Required ? When a permit is required for alterations, repairs, or additions with a total cost that exceeds $ 1,000, owners of existing dwellings units with a fossil fuel-burning heater or appliance, fireplace, or an attached garage shall install carbon monoxide alarms that receive their primary power from the building wiring where such wiring is served from a commercial source and shall be equipped with a battery back-up. Alarm wiring shall be directly connected to the permanent building wiring without a disconnecting switch other than as required for overcurrent protection.

o????New Construction ? New residential units with a fuel-burning appliance or an attached garage must be equipped with a carbon monoxide alarm. The alarms must receive their primary power from the building wiring where such wiring is served from a commercial source and shall be equipped with a battery back-up. Alarm wiring shall be directly connected to the permanent building wiring without a disconnecting switch other than as required for overcurrent protection.

?CIG always takes the extra step to meet the ever-changing laws and homeowner requirements of our policy holders,? said Ken Stewart, CIG Products, Compliance & Commercial Lines Manager. ?The new carbon monoxide law provides specific instructions for the installation of an alarm or detector, and power supply specifications based on existing and new construction.

Offering an auto repair special or two along the way is a great way to show how much they appreciate their customers. Please call (512) 453-5050 to schedule service.
