by Stephen Bilkis

A multiple car accident caused Joel R. Heiney, James Pattillo and Carl Dorfman to cross. The accident happened August 8 on the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn. A Lawyer said that from records what took place started with Mr. Pattillo. Mr. Pattillo was moving east on the left-hand lane of the Parkway. Mr. Dorfman and Mr. Heiney were travelling westbound, separately. It is still uncertain why, but Mr. Pattillo’s car suddenly swerved to the left and crossed the median line separating the eastbound and westbound lanes. Once on the westbound lane still going east he first hit a taxicab, next was Mr. Heiney’s vehicle. After Mr. Pattillo’s car hit Mr. Heiney’s, Mr. Heiney’s car was involved with Mr. Dorfman’s vehicle in a second collision.

Mr. Heiney and his wife started the proceedings for an instant action against Mr. Pattillo and Mr. Dorfman, immediately after the accident. In their petition, they said that Mr. Pattillo was negligent as he caused his vehicle to cross into oncoming lanes of traffic. For Mr. Dorfman, their case was that he did not maintain a safe distance from their vehicle that would have allowed him to avoid hitting them. The defendants, Mr. Pattillo and Mr. Dorfman, introduced claims against each other.

The courts in The Bronx and mainly in Brooklyn had a hearing in the issue of liability only. The witnesses were Mr. Heiney and his wife, Mr. Pattillo, Mr. Dorfman, a witness who was not involved and a police officer who arrived at the scene a few minutes after it happened. In Mr. Heiney’s testimony, he said that he was moving towards the center of the westbound lane when he noticed a commotion to his left. He saw Mr. Pattillo’s vehicle swiping the rear of a taxi. This was in the left hand lane and was about a car and a half ahead of him. In a few seconds, Mr. Pattillo’s car hit the left side of his vehicle. He was still moving in the center lane when Mr. Dorfman’s vehicle hit his car from behind, and that is where he lost control of his vehicle. The car stopped at the right side of the road. According to a source, the witness who was not involved named Phillip Stein supported Mr. Heiney’s testimony. He was travelling on the eastbound lane where he noticed Mr. Pattillo’s vehicle weaving from side to side in the left-hand side of the eastbound lane and suddenly crossed to the westbound lane. He hit the taxicab, Mr. Heiney’s car, and then Mr. Heiney’s car was hit by Mr. Dorfman’s. Mr. Stein clearly said that when Mr. Pattillo’s vehicle veered to outside the eastbound lane, there were no other vehicles, and it had not been in contact with another vehicle.

Car, School Bus and Pedestrian Accident

by Stephen Bilkis

Mere minutes after unloading its last passengers, a school bus was struck by a sedan hard enough that the bus toppled onto its side, claims a witness. The last passengers of the bus, who were neighborhood children, had exited the vehicle within five minutes of the incident.

Police suspect that the driver of the sedan that hit the bus had driven through a stop sign right before colliding with the school bus. The bus, as it toppled over, fell onto a biker that was riding along the sidewalk parallel to the bus. The bicyclist was trapped as the bus smashed her leg and pinned her to the ground. As soon as help arrived and they were able to move the bus off of her leg, the girl was taken by ambulance to the nearest medical center.

The bus driver was forced to exit the school bus by climbing out the driver’s side window. The driver only sustained minor injuries during the car accident.

by Stephen Bilkis

Earlier this week, two people, a man and a woman, were killed in a head on collision as the woman moved into oncoming traffic. The two vehicles, both pickup trucks, were totaled as they smashed into each other. The man’s truck, at the time of the car accident, was a horse trailer which was also damaged in the collision.

The woman driving her pickup truck was at fault in the in accident; she was breaking the posted no passing signs in an attempt to pass a third vehicle which was on the road. In an attempt to pass the other vehicle quickly, the woman driver was traveling at dangerously high speeds, reports a witness. As she moved into oncoming traffic to attempt to pass, the two pickup trucks collided head on.

It is unknown exactly what speed the vehicles were traveling at the time of the incident. However, based on the damage to the two vehicles, the woman’s speed was dangerously high. At this point, there is no suspicion of drugs or alcohol being involved.

15-year old girl dies in senseless crash

by Stephen Bilkis

NY Car Accident Lawyers described a horrific crash involving three teenagers and a police car. “The kid was driving without headlights and a police officer was merely going to pull them over for safety reasons.”

He went on to explain that the driver quickly took off in his vehicle to avoid the police officer and subsequently sideswiped another vehicle and ended the tirade by slamming into a brick wall.

The reporters on the scene said there was a 15-year old boy, a 14-year-old boy and a 17-year-old boy in the car, who incidentally, was driving. The 15-year-old victim was sitting in the front passenger seat and did not survive the crash.
