New Claims Can Still Be Filed in 2020 by 9/11 Victims with Cancer & Other Diseases

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Mass Torts, World Trade Center

While many of us are busy sorting out COVID-19 health and basic life problems, other Americans are having to evaluate their medical conditions related to 9/11 injuries and the World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program. Once a 9/11 survivor’s medical condition has been formally certified – for cancer or another disease – based on the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) list, that person can begin receiving medical care covered by the WTC Health Program. As most adults recall, back on September 11, 2001, multiple plane hijackings and suicide attacks were committed against America by 19 terrorists affiliated with the Islamic terrorist...

To help readers better understand what takes place during a corpectomy procedure, some general medical terms and information are shared below.

Giving a Child a Doll with Special Needs Promotes Acceptance & Healing

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Birth Injuries, Medical Malpractice

All children have a deep desire to be accepted for who they are and to simply blend in with their peers. Unfortunately, many children with noticeable physical disabilities are often subject to ridicule and bullying by others. When you give disabled children dolls with visible disabilities, you can help them gain greater self-acceptance. And social psychologists believe that when you give such dolls to non-disabled kids, you can teach them empathy for those with physical differences. Learning to display sincere empathy for others has always been an important social skill. It’s even more crucial today since the CDC (Centers for Disease...

Sanitation Truck Accident Lawyers - Frekhtman & Associates

Back in November of 2019, the NYPD began cracking down harder on all private company garbage truck drivers since they’re causing far too many deadly accidents. During the past several years, over 20 people have died due to these careless drivers. However, many NYC sanitation truck drivers are also recklessly endangering public safety. Accident reports reveal that garbage trucks are often driven too fast, down the wrong side of the road or too close to pedestrians and bicyclists. During one week of the crackdown, the NYPD wrote over 500 tickets for moving violations and issued 555 criminal court summons. Many of...

NYC Commercial Truck Accidents: FAQs, Definitions and Statutes

Posted by Arkady

in Accident Injuries, Truck Accidents

truck car accident - Frekhtman & Associates Attorneys

Without a doubt, the most dangerous type of vehicle to collide with in an accident is a large commercial truck. Even the smaller ones often weigh far more than the average passenger car that weighs between 3,000 and 4,000 pounds.

People who manage to survive accidents with commercial trucks are often left paralyzed – or suffering from traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, spinal cord injuries – or a vast array of other medical problems. While many people improve greatly...
