I have a case in Michigan. Mr. Frektman gave me a free consultation, and listened to the issues that I had with my attorney at the time. He sent me the verdict search, which showed that my lawyer is a chronic settler lol. No trials since.2011 for the firm, my attorney specifically had zero trials. So.he sent me a list of attorneys in MI that he knows, or has worked with in the past. I reached out to 2 of the attorneys and 1 did not respond, the other declined to take my case. Mr. Frektman and Nickesha, his assistant(I assume), actually reached out to me after the one attorney declined my case. They both said they would be willing to help with a referral to some different attorneys. I received a call from one of the best trial attorneys in MI and they are taking my case. I have fired my previous attorney and signed the agreement with the new attorney. Arkady Frektman and Nickesha had no interest in my situation, but took their time and energy and did everything possible to get me a different attorney. The people's attorney! I genuinely believe they do this job, to help people. Not just make money. But when you're as good as this, the money just naturally comes when you help so many! Thank you Arkady Frektman and Nickesha! So grateful and appreciate all that you do!Posted on Google![]()

I was researching new lawyers for my slip and fall case when I found Arkady Frekhtman. He is located in NYC, but I'm not, but they still offered to help me find a better lawfirm to help in my slip and fall case. My old lawfirm which I won't name here, were pretty much horrible. Hopefully my new lawyers that Arkady Frekhtman referred me to will be able help me the best way possible since they are highly rated and are amazing! I'm so happy to have new lawyers to help me for my accident. I hope Arkady Frekhtman and his team have a wonderful 2026, God blessed everyone over there! Especially Nickesha from Frekthman and Associates! She and Arkady were awesome!Posted on Google![]()

Causes of Scaffold Accidents
The common causes of scaffold accident in Brooklyn are:
- Poor scaffold erection, set up, and or construction.
- Workers using the wrong type of construction equipment for the job being performed including the wrong type of scaffolding or alternative to scaffolding when a scaffold is necessary
- Planking collapse or support collapse of the scaffold which may result from lack of safety practices and negligence
- Failure to install proper guardrails on the scaffold to prevent workers from falling
- Lack of construction safety devices & equipment (toeboards, guardrails, safety netting, lifelines, harnesses, etc)
Very professional construction accident law firm. I was so confused with workers comp and all the bureaucracy. Frekhtman came through and helped me and my family. Thank you!! Will highly recommend this firm for any construction site injury.

Labor Law 240 and Scaffold Accident Claims
Section 240 of the New York Labor Law, often called the Scaffold Law, requires owners and contractors to provide proper protection for elevation-related work, including scaffolds, ladders and hoists. When a worker is hurt in a fall from height, or struck by a falling object, because required safety devices were missing or inadequate, this law can hold owners and contractors responsible. Whether it applies depends on the work being done and how the accident happened.
Hiring a Brooklyn Scaffolding Accident Lawyer
Construction workers build this city while absorbing risks that most people never see. Our Brooklyn injury lawyers represent them in every borough courthouse. When a scaffold fails, the consequences are rarely minor. Falls from height cause traumatic brain injuries and spinal fractures Determining who is responsible after a scaffolding accident is rarely straightforward, as liability can fall on a general contractor, property owner, equipment manufacturer, or multiple parties at once. Our Brooklyn scaffolding accident attorneys have handled the full range of construction accident claims, including complex scaffold collapses, falling object injuries, and defective equipment cases.
Contact us for a free, confidential consultation. We work with construction safety experts to establish liability and connect clients with experienced NYC physicians who understand how to document and treat these injuries.
