If you’re injured in an accident and partially blamed for it — your compensation could be reduced. That’s how New York’s “pure comparative fault” system works. But in 2025, insurers are using dashcams, social media, and edited footage to shift more blame onto victims.

At Lockamy & Associates, we’re seeing cases where fault is unfairly split — just to minimize payouts.

👉 Think you’re being blamed for something you didn’t cause? 👉 Is the insurer saying you’re “30% at fault” with no real proof?

💡 You still have rights — and we can help you fight back.

At Lockamy & Associates, we've helped clients navigate tricky cases where the workplace isn’t an office — it's a kitchen table, a couch, or a converted guest room.

Cracked concrete. Uplifted pavement. Unmarked holes. NYC sidewalks can be dangerous — especially in the summer when crowds and outdoor dining make things chaotic.

If you’ve tripped and been injured, don’t brush it off. Property owners (and sometimes the city) have legal responsibilities to keep walkways safe.

At Lockamy & Associates, we know the system — and we know how to fight for real compensation.

We’ve seen it too many times: a rushed ER visit, a missed diagnosis, and months later — a life changed forever.

If a medical professional didn’t listen, didn’t test, or didn’t take your symptoms seriously, it’s not “just one of those things.” It could be medical malpractice.

At Lockamy & Associates, we help families get answers — and justice. Whether it’s a surgical error or a missed diagnosis, we’ll fight for what you’re owed.

This weekend isn’t just about a day off — it’s about honoring those who gave everything so we could live with freedom and safety.

At Lockamy & Associates, we’re proud to serve a city built by courage — and today, we remember the heroes who made that possible. Their sacrifice reminds us why justice and integrity matter.

E-scooters and shared e-bikes are everywhere in NYC — fast, fun, and supposedly convenient. But what happens when the ride goes wrong?

New York is heating up — and for construction crews, delivery drivers, and outdoor workers, that means real danger. Extreme heat isn’t just uncomfortable — it’s life-threatening. But here’s the thing: many employers still don’t provide proper breaks, water, or shade.
