Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Brain Injuries, Slip & Fall Accidents

The NYC Department of Buildings conducted “Zero tolerance” safety sweeps for 90 days across all five New York City boroughs. Operators of dangerous construction sites were issued nearly 1,500 stop-work orders.

Since both LaGuardia and JFK International airports are in Queens and this borough has New York City’s most diversified economy, it is not too surprising to learn that serious truck accidents keep plaguing this area. In fact, there’s so much truck traffic here that the state publication Delivering New York once noted that prior to the pandemic, over 130,000 trucks were entering and exiting Queens on a daily basis.
