Slip and Fall Accidents Often Lead to Traumatic Brain Injuries

in Brain Injuries, Slip & Fall Accidents

After seven New York City construction workers died during the first five months of 2021, aggressive action was taken. 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.

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.

In Case Of Ceiling Collapse, Be Ready to Share All the Damage Details

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates
