New York Personal Injury Attorney Jeff Korek on the Intersection of Public Safety and Regulatory Gaps

Two men are dead after a head-on collision on the Queensboro Bridge bike path between an illegal high-speed e-scooter (capable of 50+ mph) and a cyclist – the latest preventable tragedy highlighting the dangers of unregulated micromobility devices on New York streets.

This fatal crash comes just weeks after an NYU Langone study revealed e-bike and scooter incidents are driving a sharp rise in serious brain and spine injuries across NYC, now accounting for nearly 7% of trauma admissions at one major hospital.

New York personal injury attorney Jeff S. Korek, Senior Trial Partner at Gersowitz Libo & Korek and past President of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, is available for TV/radio interviews on the fast-moving intersection of public safety, enforcement failures, liability, and regulatory gaps. For securing any interview opportunities with Jeff, please reply to this email or call 224 595 0623.

Jeff can speak to:

1. Why this latest Queensboro Bridge tragedy was entirely preventable and what it reveals about enforcement gaps on illegal e-scooters and e-motos.
2. The NYU Langone findings on surging brain and spine injuries, and why parents, commuters, and policymakers should be alarmed.
3. How illegal high-powered e-bikes and scooters continue flooding streets despite existing bans.
4. Should liability extend beyond riders to manufacturers, retailers, and modifiers?
5. Why stronger regulation (not just enforcement) is needed and whether New York’s fragmented city/county approach is making the problem worse.
6. Practical steps families and victims should take immediately after an e-bike or scooter crash to protect their rights.
