How To Recognize Traumatic Brain Injuries in Young Children

Whether they are toddlers or teens, it can be difficult to tell when children have suffered a serious head or brain injuries if they are not crying or complaining. Far too often, small children and teens just think they are feeling a bit odd – and have no idea that they should either obtain immediate medical help or lie down and rest for an extended period. All this puts extra pressure on parents, teachers, and other caregivers to carefully observe and get help for any child with visible problems. Yet until children reach school age, (unless they are undergoing routine medical...

Diagnosing Complex Symptoms When Neck Injury Occurs

Some of the most painful neck injuries people ever suffer are due to motor vehicle accidents, sports activities, and work-related falls. Depending on the severity of the neck damage, they can also develop serious, long-term spinal cord injuries (SCIs). When a neck damage patient arrives fully conscious in the emergency room, the physicians will carefully conduct a thorough physical exam and then ask many questions about the accident. Every neck injury must be promptly evaluated so that secondary health problems will not rapidly escalate. Here are some symptom lists that can help doctors diagnose specific neck damage issues, followed by a...

New York City Motorcycle Accidents Statistics & Tips

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Accidents

Riding a motorcycle through New York City during rush-hour traffic is often difficult and dangerous. Furthermore, most truck and passenger car drivers forget that motorcyclists, pedestrians and bicyclists are uniquely vulnerable when accidents occur. Although New York City motorcycle collisions aren’t as common as auto accidents, they’re much more likely to result in deadly injuries since motorcyclists have so little physical protection. Furthermore, motorcyclists are at special risk while navigating turns and trying to make it safely through busy traffic intersections. The accident statistics set forth below clearly document the special challenges facing motorcyclists. That information is followed by a list of...

What To Do If You Had A Trip And Fall Accident

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Accident Injuries, Accidents, Pedestrian Accidents

What to do if you had a trip and fall accident

1. If you are injured, call an ambulance from the scene of the accident and go to the hospital. Don't leave the scene.

Having an EMS crew arrived at the exact spot you fell and document it in their report will help prevent such arguments by the defendants. 2. Take photographs of your injuries including bruises, scarring, and casts or braces. Take photographs of the location where you fell and the defective condition that caused...

NYC Healthcare Construction Jobs Increase Could Lead To More Accidents

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Construction Accidents

Although many new NYC healthcare construction projects are bringing critically needed jobs during the pandemic, safety guidelines must still be closely followed to limit accidents. Between 2020 and 2023, NYC boroughs (except for Staten Island) should experience a thirty-eight percent (38%) increase in healthcare sector construction, costing about $9.4 billion. That number reflects a slight increase over the $6.8 billion the city spent between 2016 and 2019. Many of the new buildings will be constructed in the Bronx and Brooklyn. All OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) officials and construction site managers must keep enforcing all basic safety measures – while...
