Progress for New York equals advancing gender equality

New York is a beacon for equality and justice for all New Yorkers; however, when a loved one dies due to another’s negligence, New York serves not as a leader in equality but rather as the caboose on a train that has already left the station.

While no one ever wants to assign a value to human life, there are times when it must be done, such as when a person dies or is injured and then dies due to another’s negligence.
