New York City Garbage Truck Accidents Remain Deadly

in Commercial Vehicule Accident, Garbage Truck Accident, Truck Accidents, Vehicle Accidents

Too many accidents involving New York City garbage trucks end badly, even when no one dies. This remains true since many of these large sanitation trucks weigh about 72,000 pounds. Pedestrians, motorcyclists, bicyclists -- and even passenger vehicle occupants -- rarely escape major injuries after being hit by one of these massive vehicles. Even smaller garbage trucks weighing between 50,000 and 60,000 pounds often wield deadly force when they hit the average American passenger car that weighs between about 2,600 and 4,400 pounds. One of the most tragic New York City garbage truck accidents to occur during recent years happened in...

It May Be the Only Option: Spinal Fusion Surgery After A Truck Or Car Accident

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Accidents, Semi Truck Accidents, Spinal Cord Injury, Tractor Trailer Accidents, Truck Accidents, Vehicle Accidents

The Mayo Clinic likens the rubbery cushions or discs found between back vertebrae to jelly donuts, in that they encase a soft center in a tougher exterior. When the tougher exterior tears, some of the softer material may push out of the disc. These herniated discs are also sometimes called ruptured discs or slipped discs and may require spinal fusion surgery after a truck or car accident. Severe Pain Possible This protruding material may impinge on nerves. This may cause pain which often radiates down an arm or leg. In some instances, the pain is excruciating and debilitating.

Bronx commercial vehicles include Amazon trucks, UPS trucks, 18 wheeler semi-trucks, box trucks, local company vans, and even small cars driven by workers while in the course and scope of their employment. While most of these trips turn out fine, others end in serious and costly accidents. Who should cover the cost of paying your medical bills if you are injured – or if you injure others?

Road Rage: Still A Major Problem in New York & Many Other States

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Accident Injuries, Car Accidents

Since many of us are still driving less due to the pandemic, we have forgotten how common road rage (or aggressive driving) has become both locally and elsewhere in the United States. Instead of maturely working through our unresolved frustrations, too many of us keep expressing our pent-up anger while driving – often overreacting to the minor traffic offenses of others. Last summer, a 26-year-old man in Brooklyn died after being shot in the torso during a road rage incident. That tragic event unfolded while a shooter, traveling in a black SUV, and the other driver was taking Exit 1 off...

Large Truck Accident Statistics

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Personal Injuries, Truck Accidents

When it comes to deaths in large truck accidents, the deaths are usually to people in passenger vehicles. This is because people in these smaller vehicles are vulnerable. Trucks can weigh up to 30 times as much as normal care. They are also taller and have larger ground clearance which means that the smaller vehicles can get stuck underneath the truck in crashes. Trucks can also have issues with braking, and they can take a long time to break. When bad roads are a factor, the time it takes for a large truck to come to a complete stop is even...

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Car Accidents, Vehicle Accidents

Now that clear skies often give way to heavy winter rains, snow and sleet, everyone needs to exercise greater caution while traveling on New York roads and freeways.
