Bronx Ceiling Collapse Accident Lawyers

During the last five years, numerous Bronx residents have been forced to cope with dangerous ceiling collapse accidents. In fact, during one March 2018 event, family members said that part of a bedroom ceiling fell on a five-month-old baby boy and a seven-year-old girl.

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Ceiling Collapses

Bronx Ceiling Collapse Accident Lawyers Discuss Landlord Liability for Ceiling Collapses

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Ceiling Collapses

Far too often, New York City landlords ignore apartment tenants’ complaints about critically needed repairs explains Arkady Frekhtman, one of the Bronx ceiling collapse accident lawyers at the F&A injury law firm.

in Ceiling Collapses

All residential and business structures are subject to ceiling collapses.
