Crash in Upper East Side Restaurant Leaves One Injured – Many Shaken Up

Crash in Upper East Side Restaurant Leaves One Injured – Many Shaken Up
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.

    • I am writing to let you know what an outstanding job George Gridelli did for me in my personal injury lawsuit. His professionalism and expertise were evident at our first metting and he and his paralegal Diane D'Andrea took care of me as if I was a friend and not merely a client. They both went above and beyond for me in so many ways that it would be too numerous to list and I am grateful to have had such an exemplary team represent me. When working with George and watching him in court he personified to me what a lawyer is supposed to be - an honest, extremely compentent man who helped guide me through the legal system. I could not have obtained better representation anywhere else at any price. To me that says a lot abut you and your firm's integrity. Thank you again for representing me and for having such stellar individuals working for you! I will continue to recommend your firm.

    • This letter is to thank Ms. Diane D’Andrea, assistant to Mr. George Gridelli, Attny for all the hard work, dedication, and attentiveness she showed during the representation of my case. She was always cheerful and ready to help in whatever way she could. All messages left for Mr. Gridelli were always relayed and Mr. Gridelli always promptly returned our calls. She was a very competent assistant. Cellino Law has proven to be a model of what legal representation should be. Throughout the 6 ½ years of this case, I have heard many horror stories from people with “bad lawyer stories.” We consider ourselves to be very lucky to have chosen Cellino Law and will always recommend you to those looking for good, honest representation with a personal touch.

    • Mark Kochanowicz is from far the best attorney you can have. Mark treats you like a friend more than a client. He truly cares and go the extra mile for you and your case, contacts you to update you in regards to your case and keep you informed at all times. Mark represented me twice and settled my cases for way more than I expected. I highly recommend Mark Kochanowicz because he is just the best on what he does!!! Thank you Mark!!!!

    • Cellino Law and more specifically my attorney, Gregory V. Pajak, Managing Attorney, and as a whole the Cellino Law Firm and its organization. This is by far one of the most professional law firms and attorney I have ever engaged with and retained in my 35 years. The level of professionalism goes beyond words, the care and constant engagement with me as the client was touching. I was never ever just treated as simply a CASE with potentially a significant dollar number attached to my file. I was engaged regularly, Tracey (Ass’t) and Greg always made sure to remain constant, as well as consistent in overseeing that my case was handled properly and that it did matter in many ways - ensuring that the end result(s) would be fair and reasonable to my case/injury. The regular follow-up calls were very satisfying, knowing that you’re involved in your case matters significantly AND always. One of my main items to recognize Cellino Law and Gregory is that whenever I called, I was able to get through to speak directly to my Lawyer and he would answer any if not all of my questions in a very professional and genuinely caring manner. I always felt cared for and protected legally and more importantly, I was made feel as a human being that was being cared for and always keeping me abreast of all matters connected to the case. There was never a point I felt let down, on the contrary -the level of service was “STELLAR”. Greg is the consummate professional, a ‘role model’, if you will, for what other attorneys should strive to become when dealing with their clients.
