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.

Injured In A Construction Accident In The Bronx? Construction sites are a constant sight around the Bronx. Whether these sites involve roadwork, sidewalk repair, or building renovations, it is impossible to walk or drive anywhere in the Bronx without seeing them. Unfortunately, construction sites are a leading cause of injuries. Often these injuries are caused by another person or party’s negligence.

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...

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Accident Injuries, Accidents, Back Injury, Podcast, Spinal Cord Injury, Work Accidents, Workers Compensation

We could look at a few cases that we had, three cases that come to mind.
