What’s Happening with Paraquat and Parkinson’s Lawsuits?

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

While this illness can often progress slowly, no one wants to battle its agonizing symptoms. They can include loss of coordination, tremors, fatigue, speech difficulties, and other challenging issues. Unfortunately, America is one of the few major countries that still use this pesticide. It has been outlawed in China, the European Union, and more than 30 other countries. During the past decade, new studies have linked this pesticide with a higher chance of later developing Parkinson’s disease. If you...

How To File A Lawsuit Under The NY Adult Survivor Act

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Child Abuse

New York Governor Kathy Hochul recently signed this bill into law. As noted on the governor’s website, the statute creates a one-year “lookback window” to help adult sexual assault survivors pursue the justice they could not find in the past. As of November 24, 2022, survivors who were at least 18 years of age when sexually assaulted will now have an additional year to file their lawsuits against those responsible for their abuse. This statute reminds many of New York’s progressive Child Victim’s Act; that law made it possible for those abused as young children to seek justice back in 2019....

Exactech Knee Replacement Lawsuit Attorney

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Accident News

Every year, doctors perform knee replacement surgery on thousands of Americans. While some patients develop serious pain due to osteoarthritis, others suffer harm in major pedestrian or motor vehicle accidents. Construction workers also incur knee injuries due to catastrophic falls or repetitive job tasks that wear out their knee joints. Of course, various sports activities can also damage knee joints due to frequent stop-and-start movements and repetitive use. Whatever the cause, once knee pain becomes unbearable or mobility problems arise, most people choose to undergo some form of arthroplasty – commonly referred to as knee replacement surgery.
