Surprising Facts About School Bus Crashes and Injuries in New York

Approximately 100 fatal school transportation-related accidents occur annually. While most of those crashes involve actual school buses, others are commercial buses hired by school districts to drive their students to distant events.

Truck Driver Fatigue: A Leading Cause of Accidents in New York – Stats & Safety Measures

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Semi Truck Accidents, Truck Accidents

Too many fatal accidents in New York and surrounding areas are caused by fatigued truck drivers who ignore federal driving safety regulations. In fact, CFR Section 395.3 specifically states that commercial truck drivers cannot start a new job shift until after they’ve been off work for 10 consecutive hours. When this safety statute is ignored, many other drivers can be easily injured since large trucks often weigh 20 to 30 times as much as most passenger vehicles. During the past decade, one of the worst trucker fatigue accidents involved a Walmart truck driver who hit another vehicle on the New Jersey...

Truck Accidents In Queens Remain a Dangerous Threat to Everyone

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Delivery Truck Accidents, Truck Accidents

Pedestrians, motorists, and all others traveling through Queens must keep their eyes on the many trucks constantly weaving their way through this borough. In fact, the entire NYC area sees at least 365 million tons of diverse cargo pass through each year. Trucks carry about 90% of all those items to their destinations.

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Semi Truck Accidents, Tractor Trailer Accidents, Truck Accidents

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.
