Calendar icon September 4, 2020 | Reading Time: 2 min

Last Monday, people on the Upper East Side were enjoying their dinner outside when the unthinkable happened. Diners at Delizia 92, on East 92nd Street and Second Avenue narrowly escaped injury and death when a Cadillac Escalade crashed into their outdoor dining area.

At about 9:30 pm on Monday, August 24, two cars collided right outside the restaurant. The crash involved an Audi sedan and a Cadillac Escalade SUV. The police did not say exactly what caused the collision.

As a result of the crash, one of the vehicles crashed into the wood barrier outside the Italian restaurant. It also knocked into several of the outdoor tents, sending them crashing to the ground.

Miraculously, no diners were injured during the accident. However, the person driving the Audi did suffer injuries and was taken to the local hospital. Police arranged for the driver to be taken to New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. They were treated for their injuries and is expected to make a full recovery.

There were several other people injured in the crash. None of these were patrons at the restaurant. They were other people near or on the sidewalk at the time of the accident. No charges have been filed at this time.

Depending on what the police investigation reveals, there may be charges filed against one or both of the drivers. The police did not indicate if alcohol or drugs played a role in this crash.

For the people injured in this crash, they will have a potential legal claim against the drivers. They may also have a claim against the restaurant owner, depending on what the investigation reveals.

  • Choosing the right attorney to represent you after an accident can make all the difference. This is no cliche. I recently experienced these words to live by first hand. After a tractor trailer rear ended me at high speed in 2017 I retained Allan Silverstein to handle my case. I quickly realized that bringing a lawsuit rapidly snowballs into a mountain of details that can make or break your results. Documents, case histories, doctor visits, bills, and lots of phone calls all need to be accurately kept track of if a successful outcome it to be attained. To complicate matters I reside in New York and the incident took place in New Jersey. Luckily, Allan was licensed in multiple states. I was fortunate to find Allan to handle this matter from the New York area. Armed with an accurate account of the facts Allan went to work on the difficult job of negotiating with the defending insurance company as well as my no fault carrier in order to obtain the best possible outcome for my set of circumstances. In a lawsuit communication is key and and events can be of a timely nature. Allan never failed to return my calls - usually the same day! He fought skillfully and respectfully to get me the best possible settlement. He is easy to deal with and a likeable down to earth guy. He always listened with compassion and respect to my issues. He guided me with objective understanding as well as a realistic analysis of the merits of my case. When we finally settled Allan got me a fair agreement beyond my expectations and negotiated with my doctors to make sure all my bills were paid. It was a great experience having Allan represent me. Quality work in any aspect of life is hard to find. Quality is what I got with Allan Silverstein. I highly recommend him if you find yourself in need of a personal injury attorney.
