In the editorial pages of Crain's New York Business, Coffey Modica LLP Partner Michael Mezzacappa warns that officials should consider the safety risks of battery energy storage systems (BESS) before placing them in local neighborhoods.

While proponents promote BESS as a safe path to clean energy, Mezzacappa highlights that large-scale lithium-ion technology can carry severe fire hazards, burning hot and fast and releasing toxic chemical fumes in mere seconds.

Mezzacappa notes that because many BESS components are manufactured in China, they are out of reach for American lawsuits — leaving local community stakeholders with fewer options should tragedy strike.

A terrifying reminder of the dangers that NY’s medical responders face occurred in the Bronx when bullets pierced an FDNY EMS ambulance.

CBS New York reports that two EMTs were forced to duck for cover as gunfire shattered their windshield. While the crew miraculously escaped injury, an 18-year-old wasn’t so lucky.

Michael Greco, President of Uniformed EMT's, Paramedics and Fire Inspectors of Local 2507, laments that workplace violence against EMS personnel has more than tripled over the past decade — skyrocketing from 99 incidents in 2014 to 423 in 2024.

Celebrity Divorce & Family Law attorney Frank Perrone Jr. of Tarter Krinsky & Drogin LLP explains to Radar Online that informal social media comments can carry significant weight in child custody disputes. Even if deleted, public online remarks regarding financial or parental support are scrutinized by courts as evidence of a party's judgment.
