If you’ve recently suffered an injury that wasn’t your fault, you might think you won’t be able to claim compensation or receive a generous payout because of your pre-existing condition.

Clifton, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/21/2019 -- If you've recently suffered an injury that wasn't your fault, you might think you won't be able to claim compensation or receive a generous payout because of your pre-existing condition. While pre-existing conditions undeniably complicate personal injury claims, there's no reason why your condition should result in the denial of your claim – provided you know what to do following your accident.

Unfortunately, insurance companies don't set out to help plaintiffs (the person claiming compensation) to earn the payout they deserve following an accident that resulted in an injury. In most cases, insurers will attempt to prove that your injury was solely due to your pre-existing condition and not aggravated by your accident. Insurance firms are for-profit businesses. Therefore, the less money they pay out to plaintiffs, the more profit they retain.

What Counts as a Pre-Existing Condition?
At Corradino & Papa, we've dealt with all manner of personal injury claims involving plaintiffs with pre-existing medical conditions, which may include:

Heart conditions
Degenerative disc disease
High blood pressure
Depression
Asthma
Osteoarthritis
Type 2 diabetes
Osteoporosis
Complications from medical treatments
As mentioned above, insurance companies will almost certainly try to prove that the injury you sustained as a result of your accident was due to your pre-existing condition. However, if your accident aggravated your injury and wasn't your fault, you deserve full compensation based on the 'Eggshell Plaintiff Theory.'

How to Make a Claim
You should visit a medical professional as soon as you can following your accident so that they can determine how much the accident aggravated your condition. The longer you wait to visit a physician, the easier it will be for the defendant's insurance company to reduce your compensation or persuade the judge to deny your claim. You should never lie about your pre-existing condition because insurance companies will likely be able to uncover the information, and your dishonesty will do more harm than good. Remember, based on the Eggshell Plaintiff Theory; you're entitled to full compensation regardless of the state of your health.

Our team of personal injury lawyers can use medical reports as evidence in court to help you receive the compensation you deserve as a result of your injury. You may also need to file a police statement and call your insurance company right away for advice on what to do next following your accident, but the best thing you can do is call an attorney for help. Choose our team of legal experts, and you can feel confident you'll be in safe hands while making your claim.

Electric scooters are quickly increasing in popularity due to their relatively low cost, ease of traffic congestion and eco-friendliness.

Clifton, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/06/2019 -- Electric scooters are quickly increasing in popularity due to their relatively low cost, ease of traffic congestion and eco-friendliness. However, because electric scooters haven't been around for very long, the laws surrounding their use are unclear – and undefined in many states. On a federal level, electric scooter riders don't need licenses, registration or insurance. So, if somebody gets into an accident involving an electric scooter, who's to blame–and can you claim compensation?

As electric scooters continue to grow in popularity, so does the number of accidents that involve them. Also, most states are yet to categorize what type of vehicle an electric scooter is. Some people classify them as electric bicycles while others call them scooters. Unfortunately, accidents involving electric scooters can affect riders, motorists and pedestrians, especially given that – in most states – electric scooters can be used on the road and in bike lanes.

Common Causes of Electric Scooter Accidents
Accidents that lead to injuries as a result of electric scooters can occur due to several reasons, including:

Young or inexperienced riders
Riders using mobile devices while moving
Mechanical malfunctions
Potholes, loose debris, road bumps, and litter
Pedestrians walking in the way of scooters
Motorists failing to pay attention
Improperly parked scooters
Riders falling as a result of swerving

As you can see, there are many ways in which electric scooters can cause accidents, and injuries can range from minor bruises to severe head injuries. The problem with determining who's liable for the accident lies with the lack of regulations surrounding this relatively new mode of transportation, which is why you might need to ask an attorney for advice should you sustain an injury as a result of an accident with an electric scooter.

Determining the Liable Party
Deciding who is liable to pay compensation to anybody injured by an electric scooter comes down to finding out who caused the accident.

The scooter rider
The rider may be to blame for accidents involving their scooter if they used it in crowded areas, failed to wear a helmet or operated a mobile phone while riding. If you get hit by an electric scooter user, they're likely to blame, and you may have grounds to claim compensation.

The scooter company
Electric scooter manufacturers have a legal obligation to make their products safe for use. If a mechanical or electrical failure causes an accident, it's likely that the manufacturer is liable to pay compensation to the injured party.

Other road users
Because electric scooters can be used on roads with designated bike lanes, collisions with other vehicles are increasing. Whoever is found to be the negligent party will likely be to blame for the accident in this kind of scenario.

Making a Claim
As mentioned above – the laws surrounding the use of electric scooters have yet to be defined in most states, which is why you need a legal expert to help you claim compensation if you have an accident. Our attorneys know how to navigate the legal landscape to secure the best outcome for you. If you've sustained an injury due to an electric scooter and need advice, don't hesitate to call us.

Corradino & Papa, LLC a personal injury law firm based in Clifton, New Jersey, is advising construction companies on how to keep their work sites safe in the winter months.

Clifton, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/15/2019 -- Corradino & Papa, LLC a personal injury law firm based in Clifton, New Jersey, is advising construction companies on how to keep their work sites safe in the winter months. While construction is less frequent during the cold months than it is in the spring or summer. Corradino & Papa says that development is still prevalent in many parts of New Jersey.

"There are still teams out there building houses, or working on commercial or industrial buildings," Jack Corradino said. "There are still construction workers doing renovation work, or roof replacements, or working on other projects that are extra risky due to the winter weather."

According to Corradino, most of the risks that are prevalent on construction sites at any time of year are compounded during the winter.

Winter Construction Accidents

"It's snowy and icy, so surfaces are extra slippery," Corradino says. "Working on roofs or ladders or lifts is more dangerous because it's difficult to get a good footing. Driving cars or construction vehicles is more dangerous too, not just because of ice, but also due to extremely muddy spots on the construction site. And, to add to everything else, winter temperatures here in New Jersey can get very, very cold. It's important to be conscious of the risk of injuries and illnesses caused by exposure to the cold, like frostbite and hypothermia."

Robert Papa Jr., the other name partner with Corradino & Papa, LLC, says that construction companies and contractors can reduce their liability risk considerably by taking steps to make worksites warmer, less slippery and all around safer in the wintertime.

"There are a lot of things that construction companies can do," Papa says. "Closing down the worksite on extremely cold, snowy, or windy days may be advisable. If that's not an option, it's important to cut down on risks wherever possible. Salting and sanding icy surfaces can reduce the risk of employees slipping and falling on the job. Clearing snow wherever possible can give construction workers more room to do their jobs. Providing employees with clothing or equipment that protects them from the cold is vital, too. The right clothing can keep your teams warm and prevent frostbite, hypothermia, and other problems. However, it's important to make sure the equipment you provide isn't affecting peripheral vision, hearing, or dexterity. There have been cases where wintertime construction site accidents occurred because construction workers were wearing the wrong gloves or the wrong face protection."

As a firm, Corradino & Papa, LLC, often takes on cases that involve construction site accidents. Corradino urges any construction workers recently injured on a winter construction site to call the law firm as soon as possible.

"We believe that it is the responsibility of the construction company and site supervisor to provide a safe workplace for all construction workers," Corradino says. That responsibility doesn't go away in the winter just because of the elements. On the contrary, snow, ice, and cold only mean that site supervisors should be doing more to inspect their sites and put injury protections in place. If you've received an injury because you slipped and fell on an icy construction site, or because you were out working in -10 windchills without proper protection, you should consult a lawyer to review your rights and explore your options."

Here in New Jersey, we’re no stranger to extreme weather conditions. During December, January and February, it’s not uncommon for temperatures to remain below freezing all day and night. Even in the southernmost regions of the state, snowfall can frequently occur between November and April.

Clifton, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/28/2019 -- Here in New Jersey, we're no stranger to extreme weather conditions. During December, January and February, it's not uncommon for temperatures to remain below freezing all day and night. Even in the southernmost regions of the state, snowfall can frequently occur between November and April.

Naturally, when winter arrives, temperatures plummet, winds soar, and rainfall and snowfall increase, making roads, pathways and outdoor work environments more dangerous. Unfortunately, with these dangers comes a heightened risk of accidents, many of which result in minor injuries, but some can cause lifelong inflictions and even death.

It's important to prepare yourself for the winter season by knowing what to expect and taking necessary precautions. However, it's also the responsibility of your employer to provide you with adequate safety gear and safe working conditions to prevent disasters. Below, we detail five things you need to know about winter work accidents:

Winter weather conditions cause thousands of work-related accidents every year
In 2016, over 101 occupational fatalities occurred in New Jersey. Besides 2013, when there were 102 work-related deaths, this is the highest figure since 2006, when 106 workers lost their lives. These numbers pale in comparison to the thousands of work-related accidents that happen every winter in New Jersey. Up to 9% of New Jersey's employees are considered to work in high-risk jobs.

Slips and falls are among the most common causes of winter work-related fatalities
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 887 workers across the US lost their lives due to falls in 2017, many of which were due to slippery surfaces during winter. That's the most fall-related deaths in the 26-year history of the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries. However, transportation incidents accounted for 40% of occupational fatalities in the same year. Be careful on those slippery New Jersey roads during winter.

Exposure to the elements during the long New Jersey winter can cause hypothermia
Our bodies aren't designed to withstand extreme cold climates without adequate clothing to keep us warm. The consequences of being exposed to freezing temperatures for too long can include hypothermia, which can cause uncomfortable and painful symptoms at best and death at worst. If you're expected to work outdoors during winter, make sure your employer provides you with suitable clothing and safety gear.

Surprisingly, extreme temperatures increase the risk of electrocution
Heavy rainfall and strong winds can cause power lines to not only fail but also fall, which is why the risk of electrocution for workers, pedestrians and drivers increases during winter.

Your employer has a legal obligation to minimize the risk of work-related accidents
While you should take extra care to protect your health and life during winter, it's your employer's responsibility to provide you with everything you need to remain safe while at work. These responsibilities may include ensuring surfaces are slip-resistant, offering additional training, providing safety gear and warm clothing, allowing for more breaks, and preparing vehicles for icy roads.

Understand your risk so you can stay safe throughout the season as you cheer on your favorite teams.

Clifton, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/30/2018 -- Fall is an exciting time for sports fans. However, as personal injury firm Corradino & Papa advises, the risk of personal injury at a sporting game is significant. Understand your risk so you can stay safe throughout the season as you cheer on your favorite teams.

"There's nothing more exciting than a fall game," explained Jack Vincent Corradino, personal injury lawyer, "but whenever you attend a sporting event, you are assuming a certain amount of risk. Be aware that injury is always a possibility."

As Corradino identified, risks to attendees go far beyond their own seats at the game: "Injuries can happen anywhere in the stadium, including any public areas where fans are allowed, from walkways and stairs to restrooms. Objects such as baseballs can fly from the field and hit fans in the crowd. Add in alcohol and lack of security or police presence at some events and it's easy to see why injuries are so common at these fall staples."

If you're one of the thousands of fans that make their way to sporting events each season in Jersey, there are some things the Corradino & Papa team recommends to keep yourself and your family and friends safe while having a great time at the game:

- Plan ahead. You'll have the most fun if you coordinate transportation and other arrangements with your group of friends before booking your tickets.
- Stay with a buddy. Avoid walking around by yourself; travel to and from bathrooms, concession stands, and other spots with a friend in case you get lost, a stranger approaches you, or a fight breaks out.
- Protect your valuables. Large crowds provide prime targets for thieves. Keep your wallet and other valuables safely stowed away.
- Limit your alcohol intake. Alcohol is responsible for a large percentage of injuries and sporting events. Don't allow yourself to become so inebriated that you lose control.
- Be aware of your surroundings. Pay attention to who is around you and where exits and security personnel are located.
- Have a meet-up plan. Arrange a place to meet if anyone becomes separated from your group.

Taking the above steps can help keep you safe, but the stadium or venue also has some responsibility, explained Corradino. The stadium must take certain measures to keep the area as safe as possible.

Safe Sports Measures
Ensuring that stands and bleachers are safe and in good repair
Making sure that there is sufficient lighting so that fans can see where they're walking
Eliminating trip hazards and keeping the floor clear of debris
Posting warning signs where potential hazards exist
Installing safety rails and barriers to prevent attendees from falling from bleachers or stands
"These are just a few of the basics that stadium owners and managers are responsible for when it comes to keeping spectators safe."

About Corradino & Papa
Corradino & Papa is a personal injury law firm in New Jersey dedicated to representing victims of injuries and accidents. The firm boasts a long record of successes against insurance companies, corporate defendants, and individuals. If you have sustained an injury at a sporting event, you may be entitled to compensation.

Clifton, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/27/2018 -- Personal injury law firm, Corradino & Papa recently presented the Boys & Girls Club of Clifton with $100,000 for the purchase of two new school buses. The money was donated at a ceremony held in Clifton, NJ on June 21, 2018.

The Boys & Girls Club is an essential institution in Clifton, NJ that provides both before and after school enrichment activities for the area's youth. Services range from daycare for young children to educational, leadership, athletic, recreation, and character development programs for older kids and teens. The club serves hundreds of kids from 2.5 years old through high school. It operates more than 300 days a year, from Monday through Saturday.

Like other educational programs, the Boys & Girls Club of Clifton relies on school buses for student transportation. Per New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission regulations, though, no organization is legally allowed to use yellow school buses for more than 11 years.

Currently, the Boys & Girls Club is facing an aging fleet of buses. To remain legally compliant, Corradino and Papa stepped up to the plate and replaced these buses.

"When we heard that the Boys & Girls Club was getting to the point where it would need to replace a few buses, we immediately asked, 'Well, what can we do to help?'" said Jack Vincent Corradino. "Robert and I were both born and raised here in Clifton, and together, we spent so many wonderful hours at the Boys & Girls Club. I learned a lot there, and I've always felt I owe a lot of my success to the club. I wanted to make sure that future kids have the same opportunities that I did."

"It's all about the kids," said Robert C. Papa Jr. "The Boys & Girls Club is a huge force for good in our community, and a precious asset for the children and teenagers in our community. I'm so proud that we could do something to help the organization continue to thrive for the years to come."

"We are grateful to Corradino & Papa LLC," Robert Foster, Executive Director, of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Clifton. "Our transportation needs grow every year; this donation comes at a time when we need to start replacing our aging fleet of busses."

Corradino & Papa's support for the Boy & Girls Club of Clifton has continued to grow since their initial involvement two years ago. They began by donating Thanksgiving turkeys for members in need, and now the Corradino and Papa staff will be playing the role of chaperone on a few summer trips this season.

For those not immersed in the world of legal liability, understanding the difference between a car accident and an accident involving commercial trucks can be confusing and overwhelming.

Clifton, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/11/2018 -- For those not immersed in the world of legal liability, understanding the difference between a car accident and an accident involving commercial trucks can be confusing and overwhelming. If you've been injured in a truck accident, however, understanding these differences and how they affect you can be crucial to getting the compensation you deserve. Both kinds of accidents can have a significant impact on your life, but trucks — with their larger size, and commercial connections — can spell a lot more trouble than a simple car accident.

That's why Corradino & Papa, LLC, a personal injury law firm in New Jersey, has made a point of helping clients understand the differences between these two types of claims and get the compensation they're entitled to. In fact Corradino & Papa field different legal teams for truck accidents and simpler car accidents with specific experience in each type of claim. While there are some similarities between these two types of claims, the differences can be important.

In truck accidents, for instance, there are usually more parties involved than just the driver. Suing the driver might be part of the process for getting the compensation you deserve, but the company that operates the truck, the owner or lessor of the truck, the manufacturer, and even those responsible for the truck's cargo might be at fault. It all depends on the specifics of the accident, which is why it's so important to get experienced legal support if you're dealing with a truck accident.

Similarly, the insurance situation with a commercial truck might be different than a personal vehicle. In addition to regular driving insurance, the trucking company likely has additional insurance policies. The implications are different too since the risk associated with truck accidents is much higher than with a standard car. Understanding how all of this affects your legal claim is crucial to getting things settled quickly and correctly – and it's important to move fast.

Unlike a regular car accident, trucking companies are ready to deal with contingencies like this quickly and will do everything possible to avoid liability and the many penalties that come with being found at fault for an accident. So, you need to move quickly as well and get in touch with an attorney as soon as possible. Getting as much information as early as possible is essential to make sure you can mount a solid legal case, and truck companies will have their own lawyers and investigators on the scene in short order. It's unfortunate to have to deal with things like this when you're injured or mourning, but the right lawyers can help, and it's vital that you do so to have the best chance of winning your case.

Finally, the legal environment surrounding trucking is a bit more complicated due to state and local laws intended to improve road safety. Many states require limits on hours spent driving, drug and alcohol tests, and other restrictions that help keep drivers safe. Getting an understanding of how these regulations might affect your case can be important when commercial trucks are involved. It's a lot to keep in mind, but with experienced lawyers, you can still get the compensation you deserve no matter how prepared a trucking company might be.
