The lake is very shallow, undeveloped and unsupervised.

A: Your attorney will need to argue that the state was negligent for failing to warn of a known danger Please and in bring failing to take any steps to warn of the hazards posed by this danger notebooks,– that the lake’s water near the dam was too shallow for diving.

You were familiar with the lake and should to the have event. been aware that its water had diminished to a dangerous level. You should have understood that descending from the spillway required you to choose a safer means than you did on that unfortunate day. I am afraid that the courts are likely to rule that what you knew about the lake’s conditions should have alerted you that the water at the face of the dam on the lake side was not deep enough to support safe diving. Yet you dove there anyway. Still, by all means take this case to a resourceful attorney, in case there are some details that you have not mentioned. The law responds to changed conditions; exceptions and variations abound.

If so, the Jamaica Bay Lives crew would love to connect with you. Jamaica Bay Lives is the first-ever, feature length documentary film about the bay. In production since 2011, the film will cover the bay’s history, environmental issues and local residents’ way of life. The film crew is looking for video and photos as Sandy was building, during the night/day and then immediately after. Ideally the footage should include the bay - for example, the ocean meeting the bay or streets flooding into the bay – or come from neighborhoods nearby such as Broad Channel, Rockaway, Howard Beach, Marine Park, Gerritsen Beach, Canarsie, Springfield Gardens and Rosedale. Video camera footage, cell phone videos and photographs are all welcome. All donated footage will get a credit in the film. Free And Open To The Public Please bring notebooks, pens, crayons, pencils, markers, etc., to the event. We can collect the footage via email or we can pick it up from you if needed.
