Watch Where You are Walking in New York City; Dangers are Everywhere
Thousands of cars and buses drive through the roadways of New York City every day. Most notorious, the Taxi Driver, is everywhere. They are painted yellow to mark a hazard. With high pedestrian traffic, crosswalks, cars, taxis, trucks, traffic and police, it should come as no surprise that simply taking a walk can be dangerous.

Viewers of the televised debates between candidates seeking the republican nomination for president of the United States have heard a lot of talk over the past few months from the seven men, and one woman, left standing in a contest that has become at once a contentious melodrama, and at times a silly, gaffe-prone side show, to win over the hearts and minds of American voters.
Watch Where You Walk! Warns Top New York Scaffolding Accident Lawyer
Seventeen people were injured in New York City this week when a building scaffold collapsed and parts of the steel structure came crashing down on a city bus filled with passengers. The accident took place on West 125th Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard in Harlem. Fortunately, according to news reports, no one was injured badly.
A quick online search for reports of similar types of accidents on city streets reveals a frightening fact. That while not as common as accidents involving cars and pedestrians, the incidence of injuries to people who are hit by fallen debris from scaffolding, sidewalk sheds and other overhead structures is more common than most New Yorkers might realize.
Lots of Finger Pointing as Data on Bus Accident Deaths Goes Unreported
It seems as if keeping track of bus crashes in the U.S., and the injuries and deaths they cause, is as hard as trying to keep track of the white-tailed deer population in the Adirondacks.
The job of the former is supposed to be the responsibility of the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA). When NHTSA tries to calculate bus accident fatalities, it relies on the massive reporting system known as FARS, which is supposed to hold detailed records of every fatal bus crash in the country.
But the problem is the system contains no official definition for bus. As a result, statisticians must rely on a crude approximation for these vehicles, which in NHTSA parlance is known as "Cross Country/Intercity Motor Coach." Some bus accidents, as a result, are not reported because they are listed under other categories.
