Bronx Construction Accident Lawyer

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.

Trench Collapse Accidents Can Cause Many Serious And Fatal Injuries

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

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...

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