NYC Construction Accident Lawyers Discuss Demolition Work

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Construction Accidents

Demolition Work Can Lead to Serious & Fatal Injuries While most construction workers are hired to work for many months or years building skyscrapers from the ground up, others prefer to work on demolition crews that bring buildings down to the ground in a matter of seconds. One of the NYC construction accident lawyers at the F&A injury law firm explains: Although demolition work may look much easier, extensive planning is necessary to bring all structures safely to the ground.

Aggravated a Pre-existing Medical Condition While on the Job? Our Workers Compensation Lawyers Can Help.

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Work Accidents, Workers Compensation

If so, then your employer must still cover your medical expenses and pay you for time lost from work. If the new injury aggravated the prior condition permanently, however, then workers comp pays only the amount of the additional impairment. For that reason, using the same doctor you had for your...

Concerned about safety and legal issues, Revel pulled all its mopeds off the streets. However, after a brief time away, about 3,000 of the mopeds can now be...

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Accident Injuries, Accidents

If someone you know was injured because of a negligent act, you may be suffering along with them. However, here are some tips from injury lawyers on how to best care for the injured. Encourage your loved one to get medical treatment. Treatment not only allows the injured to improve their physical and mental condition, but it also serves to prove their condition's severity.

Now that we know that the COVID-19 pandemic will be around for another year or two, we must make sure that all construction site employers follow the best safety guidelines. To help meet this challenge, OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration) has created detailed workplace recommendations. Since these guidelines are rather comprehensive, it will help to review them based on each of the specific construction safety topics they address.

Subjects addressed include the need to create multiple teams and shifts,...
