December 22, 2011 (Press-News.org) New York law requires property owners to ensure the safety of people on their land or in their buildings. This duty generally requires owners to keep their property safe and well-maintained. If a hazard is unavoidable -- such as a large hole in the ground during construction -- the owner must take steps to prevent people from being harmed by the danger.
At Simon Eisenberg & Baum, our Brooklyn personal injury attorneys use our experience and knowledge to successfully litigate Brooklyn premises liability claims. It does not matter how obvious the fault of the property owner may be, you can lose your lawsuit if you don't conduct an extensive accident investigation. A thorough investigation uncovers important evidence, reveals all at-fault parties and can even find out if the dangerous property caused injury to other people as well.
After the investigation, we scrutinize all potentially applicable laws to find every possible avenue for getting you maximum compensation. We are also experts at valuating your claim. Your medical bills are only a starting point -- what about your time away from work, future medical expenses and rehabilitation, continuing physical problems and pain and suffering? A thorough claim evaluation also considers other recent New York verdicts and settlements of premises liability claims similar to yours.
Our Brooklyn premises liability lawyers believes that every step of our client's case requires a strong commitment to details and preparation. Our preparation creates confidence; our confidence leads to your successful recovery of damages.

Study examines how diving marine mammals manage decompression
2011-12-22
Any diver returning from ocean depths knows about the hazard of decompression sickness (DCS) or "the bends." As the diver ascends and the ocean pressure decreases, gases that were absorbed by the body during the dive, come out of solution and, if the ascent is too rapid, can cause bubbles to form in the body. DCS causes many symptoms, and its effects may vary from joint pain and rashes to paralysis and death.
But how do marine mammals, whose very survival depends on regular diving, manage to avoid DCS? Do they, indeed, avoid it?
In April 2010, the Woods Hole Oceanographic ...
Do you hear what I hear? Noise exposure surrounds us
2011-12-22
ANN ARBOR, Mich.---Nine out of 10 city dwellers may have enough harmful noise exposure to risk hearing loss, and most of that exposure comes from leisure activities.
Historically, loud workplaces were blamed for harmful noise levels.
But researchers at the University of Michigan found that noise from MP3 players and stereo use has eclipsed loud work environments, said Rick Neitzel, assistant professor in the U-M School of Public Health and the Risk Science Center. Robyn Gershon, a professor with the Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies, University of California, ...
Astronomers discover rare galaxy at dawn of time
2011-12-22
RIVERSIDE, Calif. – Astronomers, including the University of California, Riverside's Bahram Mobasher and his graduate student Hooshang Nayyeri, have discovered that one of the most distant galaxies known is churning out stars at a shockingly high rate. The researchers made the discovery using NASA's Spitzer and Hubble space telescopes. The blob-shaped galaxy, called GN-108036, is the brightest galaxy found to date at such great distances.
The galaxy, which was discovered and confirmed using ground-based telescopes, is 12.9 billion light-years away. Data from Spitzer ...

Belize protected area boosting predatory fish populations
2011-12-22
A 14-year study by the Wildlife Conservation Society in an atoll reef lagoon in Glover's Reef, Belize has found that fishing closures there produce encouraging increases in populations of predatory fish species. However, such closures have resulted in only minimal increases in herbivorous fish, which feed on the algae that smother corals and inhibit reef recovery.
The findings will help WCS researchers in their search for new solutions to the problem of restoring Caribbean reefs damaged by fishing and climate change.
The study appears in an online version of Aquatic ...

2011-12-22
OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Dec. 21, 2011 – Armed with a new ability to find retinal anomalies at the cellular level, neurobiologists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have made a discovery they hope will ultimately lead to a treatment for cancer of the retina.
While much work remains, Oak Ridge National Laboratory's specialized tracing algorithm allows researchers to analyze thousands of cells instead of just a few dozen. This tool has helped reveal a previously undiscovered role of Rb, the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene in the developing retina. The findings are ...
Notre Dame researchers develop paint-on solar cells
