Slip and Fall Accidents Often Lead to Traumatic Brain Injuries
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. These corrective steps were crucial since so many workers who survive serious workplace falls and other construction accidents often develop traumatic brain injuries that greatly limit their future activities. One recent report revealed that after 1,100 New York City construction site injuries from 2019 and 2020 were carefully analyzed, the researchers found that twenty (20) of them resulted in death. All these falls and other safety problems are not unique to New York. In fact, 880 American workers died due to workplace falls during one recent year.

Trucking Accidents In Queens Remain a Serious Threat to Public Safety
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. While eighteen-wheeler truck accidents are mostly confined to the Queens area freeways, a vast army of delivery box trucks and vans constantly roam this borough’s streets – searching for the addresses tied to Amazon, Fed Ex, USPS packages and products. Area department stores, restaurants, and repair companies also routinely send out fleets of trucks to deliver goods or provide greatly needed repair services. This heavy truck traffic makes it critical for all pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and passengers of other vehicles to
