Top Causes of Fatal Construction Accidents – And How Companies Can Prevent Them

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Scaffold Accidents

Given all the daily dangers that construction workers face, many of us forget that those who accept these jobs are often motivated by a desire to support their local family members and those back home. In fact, one New York City government report noted that unlike other major metropolitan areas, immigrants often fill close to fifty-three percent (53%) of New York City’s construction jobs during some years. All construction workers deserve full protection against serious and fatal injuries Elsewhere in New York, immigrants only hold 18% of these jobs. And in the rest of this country, these workers frequently hold only 24%...

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Semi Truck Accidents, Tractor Trailer Accidents, Truck Accidents

Bronx Truck Accidents Require Constant Vigilance to Remain Safe Although it’s one of New York City’s smaller boroughs, the Bronx still sees far too many tragic truck accidents. Delivery trucks, often turning too quickly near intersections, and poorly maintained tractor-trailers cause more than their share of collisions. Just recently, in May of 2022, a young Bronx teenager who attended Cascades High School lost her life when a beverage delivery truck hit her as she walked to catch a bus to school one morning. Contact our team at (212) 222-1111 for your free case evaluation. [table-of-content] The deep sorrow caused by all serious and...

Trench Collapse Accidents Can Cause Many Serious And Fatal Injuries

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Construction Accidents

Workers who dig in trenches are uniquely vulnerable to the safety standards adopted by their employers. Unfortunately, given the serious dangers involved with this work, poorly trained and newer employees are often ordered to dig trenches that should be assigned to more experienced workers. Every year, roughly two dozen workers lose their lives due to collapsing trenches. Before addressing this topic further, it’s important to distinguish between excavations and trenches. Stated simply, excavations tend to only involve ground “cavities” or openings made by workers while trenches involve digging deep holes in the ground that can be up to 15 feet wide. Great...

Slip and Fall Accidents Often Lead to Traumatic Brain Injuries

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Brain Injuries, Slip & Fall Accidents

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. [table-of-content] One recent report revealed that after 1,100 New York City construction site injuries from 2019 and 2020 were carefully analyzed, the researchers...
