What is the liability for trench collapse accidents at construction sites and who can be held responsible?

in Construction Accidents, Trench Accident

The year 2022 proved unusually catastrophic for trench workers on American construction sites. By late November, thirty-five deaths had already occurred. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) immediately shared this data with the public. That figure was twice as high as the previous year’s total of seventeen (17) trench-related fatalities. Contact our team at (212) 222-1111 for your free case evaluation. One industry publication has stated that 2022 may turn out to be the deadliest trench collapse year during the last decade.

Diagnostic Testing For Traumatic Brain Injury

Although serious head injuries occur in many ways, our firm often meets clients who have just survived a pedestrian accident, a major workplace fall, or a motor vehicle collision. Once we accept new cases, we fight hard to win each lawsuit so clients can afford all the medical care they require to heal, adjust and move forward with their lives. Experts suggest that somewhere between thirty percent (30%) to eighty-four percent (84%) of head injury patients develop sleep disorders after their accidents. Others place that figure just below fifty percent (50%). Unfortunately, many doctors forget to inform patients that they should carefully...

What Are Your Legal Rights After a Ceiling Collapse in the Bronx

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Ceiling Collapses

There are few tenant events more shocking than a sudden Bronx ceiling collapse. While some may see or hear early signs of trouble, few people expect such a terrible crisis to unfold. Far too often, careless landlords negligently fail to make timely repairs. They may also hire poorly trained maintenance workers to fix the problems -- and allow them to use substandard building materials while handling their repair tasks; if someone is sleeping or otherwise present beneath a roof when it crashes down, severe or catastrophic physical injuries can occur. Property damage losses can also be extensive, and some possessions...

How Brain Injuries Can Affect Adults & Children

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Brain Injuries

Although medical definitions can vary slightly, most sources agree that acquired brain injuries are unrelated to birth trauma and congenital, hereditary, or degenerative causes.

What’s Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome?

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Traumatic Brain Injury

After suffering a traumatic brain injury, accident survivors can develop a wide array of critical medical problems, including major breathing difficulties. Immediate medical care must be obtained so the affected person can keep breathing, and the brain can avoid losing crucial oxygen. Too many lives are lost as emergency workers try to determine whether a patient is coping with ARDS, acute respiratory distress syndrome, or another major breathing disorder. The Yale medical website describes ARDs as a “potentially fatal” lung condition that can lead to numerous organs failing to receive adequate oxygen required for their proper functioning. Each year, about 190,000...
