Things Falling off of Skyscrapers
A falling pane of glass is dangerous from any height, but at several stories the consequences are magnified.
New Yorkers figured this out when a pane of glass fell several stories on August 17th and hit the sidewalk.
It is a minor miracle that only six pedestrians were slightly injured.
Since we believe that accidents don't happen as much as they are caused, we think there needs to be some investigation as to the safety of the rest of the glass in that building. We also think that anyone who washes those windows need to be interviewed, and the people responsible for the installation and maintenance (no matter how long ago it took place) need to be interviewed as well.
It could be that the whole thing truly was a freak accident, but in our experience as New York injury lawyers, those "out of the blue" accidents are exceedingly rare.
