NEW YORK CITY ABDOMINAL INJURY ATTORNEY
According to the National Institute of Health, abdominal injuries are prone to delayed symptoms that may be serious or even fatal. Abdominal injuries can be caused by trauma from an accident or crime, by medical malpractice or by a combination of both these causes. When you’ve sustained an abdominal injury from an accident or malpractice, it’s a good idea to call a New York City abdominal injury attorney to see if you are entitled to compensation.
Traumatic abdominal injuries are usually caused by traffic accidents, falls or criminal events. These traumatic abdominal injuries can either be caused by blunt trauma or penetration trauma such as a gunshot. The National Center for Biotechnology Information considers “penetrating trauma of the abdomen continues to be a major cause of trauma admission in the United States.” Sometimes the injury can be a combination of both blunt and penetration trauma. Abdominal trauma can be life-threatening due to heavy bleeding. Internal bleeding can lead to systemic infections. Damage is possible to vital organs such as the liver, kidneys, pancreas and spleen. If you have sustained a serious injury, an abdominal injury attorney can explain your rights.
Some abdominal injuries are catastrophic and a person is airlifted for immediate surgery. Others can be more subtle, so it is important to know what symptoms to look for if you have suffered even the slightest abdominal trauma.

NEW YORK CITY HIT AND RUN ACCIDENT ATTORNEY
Queens, Brooklyn, and the Geography of Resistance Art
Art movements are shaped by geography — not just aesthetics. For decades, Brooklyn functioned as New York’s shorthand for experimental political art. That reputation was earned. Poster workshops, print collectives, underground presses, and radical galleries played a real role in anti-war organizing, labor movements, and later global justice actions. But movements migrate. Queens is where political art now intersects most directly with lived conditions. It is [...]
Art Movements, Protest Lineage, and Why This Work Exists
Political art has never been ornamental. At its best, it has functioned as logistics, memory, and coordination — a parallel system of communication when official systems fail or turn hostile. From the hand-printed posters of the U.S. Civil Rights era, to anti-apartheid graphics in South Africa, to the silk-screened iconography of May ’68 in Paris, visual language has repeatedly done three things movements require:signal alignment, create [...]
EXECUTIVE–WORKER PAY ALIGNMENT ACT
SUMMARY Executive–Worker Pay Alignment Act The Executive–Worker Pay Alignment Act aligns increases in executive compensation with wage growth for workers at large employers. When a company increases total compensation for its highly paid executives, worker wages must increase by the same percentage during the same fiscal year. If executive compensation does not increase, the Act does not apply. The Act does not set wages, mandate bonuses, [...]

Queens Is the New Brooklyn
Brooklyn used to be where artists went because it was cheap, flexible, and unpoliced. That version of Brooklyn is gone. What’s left is a real-estate brand with a cultural afterimage—galleries designed around sales, neighborhoods shaped by marketing decks, and an art scene that feels increasingly managed. Queens is where the work actually happens now. You can see it across the borough—in Ridgewood, Sunnyside, Forest Hills, Astoria, [...]
Resist Flower™: How Art Funds the March—and Strenghtens the Movement
Resist Flower™: How Art Funds the March—and Builds the Movement Resist Flower™ began as an image, not a fundraising plan. A simple visual gesture: a flower that refuses to wilt. A form that looks gentle at first glance, then insists on staying. Over time, it became something more than an artwork. It became a shared symbol—one that people recognized, carried, wore, and returned to. And now, [...]
