Ambulance Accidents are not uncommon in New York but a skilled Emergency Vehicle Accident lawyer can help.
The plaintiff, a Queens resident, was a passenger in the car that was struck by an ambulance responding to an emergency call.

After a thorough investigation and legal proceedings, Michael J. Redenburg, Esq., secured a substantial settlement for his client.
Key Legal Considerations: NY VTL 1104(b)
Under New York’s Vehicle and Traffic Law Section 1104(b), emergency vehicles have the authority to disregard certain traffic laws during emergency operations. However, this provision does not grant blanket immunity for negligence, making it vital to hold emergency vehicle operators accountable when their conduct doesn’t meet legal protections.
Michael J. Redenburg’s deep understanding of these laws helped the resolution of the case to ensure a favorable outcome.
