What a day to discuss ski accidents. The city is in a state of blizzard! There are five types of ski cases: Collision Cases, Lift Cases, Fall Cases, Instructor Cases, and Equipment Cases. Your biggest obstacle as a plaintiff is avoiding the "Assumption of Risk" defense. The best advice I can give you, keep a proper lookout when on the slopes, and wear a helmet. David Lesch, Esq.

This morning on "Open" I continued my discussion on "Winter Dangers and Your Legal Rights". It was only fitting to dicuss "snow and ice" in lieu of the weather outside this morning. The best advice I can give: if you are a landlord or homeowner, shovel fast and often. If you are a pedestrian and slip and fall, document your injury at the hospital or doctor. David Lesch, Esq.

Great show tonight. My guest on "BronxLegal with David Lesch" was Steven Goldman, a criminal defense attorney. Mr. Goldman gave a great interview on the subject of false arrest and false imprisonment. Also, we took questions from viewers, and Mr. Goldman answered each over the air. Thank you to my Producer, Melissa Johnson, as well. Well done. David Lesch

Yes, a new year, a new legal series. Kicked off today's show with my new topic: Winter Dangers and Your Legal Rights. This morning on "Open", I discussed "Heat and Hot Water". By law, building owners must provide all tenants with adequate levels of heat and hot water. Tip: The NYS Division of Housing and Community Renewal is authorized to reduce the rent of any rent regulated apartment in NY City when required heat and hot water services are not maintained.
