OUR PUBLIC SAFETY CAMPAIGN IN THE BRONX AND QUEENS
As personal injury attorneys, we see firsthand the devastations of distracted driving and distracted walking. That is why we launched our outdoor public safety campaign. The safety messages target pedestrians in the Bronx and Queens, reminding them that distracted driving is a real danger and to stay alert when walking across or driving on busy New York City streets. The campaign lists shocking facts about distracted driving and alerts pedestrians that people have been killed and seriously injured at busy intersections where they are standing at right now.
We’re committed to keeping New Yorkers safe and reducing pedestrian injuries and fatalities in our community. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured by a careless driver, contact Jacoby & Meyers for a free consultation today.
