On behalf of Jeffrey Samel & Partners posted in Negligent Security Defense on Wednesday, November 12, 2014.

On behalf of Jeffrey Samel & Partners posted in US Supreme Court on Tuesday, September 9, 2014.
Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court declared unconstitutional the long accepted standard used in New York to determine whether a corporate defendant is subject to general jurisdiction within the state under the test of "corporate presence" or "doing business."

On behalf of Jeffrey Samel & Partners posted in Injuries on Friday, March 6, 2015.
In 2003, the New York City Council enacted §7-210 of the New York City Administrative Code. Under that statutory scheme, liability to those injured as a result of a defective public sidewalk generally shifted from the City to the abutting landowner. However, not all types of landowners are subject to this shifting of liability.
