For the tenth straight year I am traveling around the great State of New York this fall to deliver my annual update on New York personal injury law to my fellow New York personal injury lawyers. As always, my topic is governmental liability for personal injuries and wrongful death. In other words, I am explaining to other New York injury lawyers how to hold the New York State and its counties, school districts, villages, towns, and other “public corporations”, liable for carelessly causing injuries and death. I have already knocked off Albany and Syracuse, and will be hitting Buffalo and Rochester in the weeks ahead.
I am deeply honored that the New York State Trial Lawyers Academy keeps inviting me back year after year to impart whatever wisdom I have on this topic to my brethren of the Bar.
Although my lecture tour is only once a year, I field calls from other lawyers on this topic all year long. That’s because New York lawyers who have read my articles or have attended my lectures consider me a “expert” in this area. They want to “pick my brain” to help them with cases they have against New York governmental entities.
