Michigan disability rights activist Richard Bernstein, severely injured when a bicyclist hit him last month in Central Park, is suing the city of New York and its transportation department, alleging they violated the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Bernstein, who is blind, was walking in Central Park's pedestrian lane on Aug. 13, training for his 18th marathon, when a distracted cyclist plowed into him from behind, shattering the Birmingham attorney's hip and hip socket.
Bernstein said Thursday that doctors still don't know if he'll ever be able to run another marathon as he recuperates at New York's Mount Sinai Hospital. Still, Bernstein is determined to have something positive come out of "this horrible situation," he said.
