As authorities begin strongly enforcing rules for pedicabs operating in the city of New York, personal injury lawyers like David Perecman are supportive of the effort.
New York (PRWEB) December 8, 2009 -- The streets of Manhattan are now safer according to New York City personal injury lawyer David Perecman, making reference to the city's crackdown on unlicensed pedicabs.
"The fact that there were so many operators driving with no accountability on safety issues and without insurance made the city more unsafe. Few would know that better than a New York personal injury lawyer," said Perecman, who has had a law firm in Manhattan for over 30 years.
Before the crackdown, up to 1,000 pedicabs were on the streets at one time. To regulate the industry, the city added rules that require pedicab drivers to have headlights, seat belts and working brakes. Prices must also be displayed.
There have been no known fatal pedicab accidents in Manhattan, but passengers and drivers have been injured in collisions with cars, taxis, and buses.
"Thankfully the city is not waiting for a fatal accident to occur before they really enforce the rules. I believe I speak for many New York personal injury lawyers when I say that," said Perecman.
