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.

Sanitation Truck Accident Lawyers - Frekhtman & Associates

While many people improve greatly...

Veterans of the trucking industry like Juan Ochoa, who currently manages a group of about 80 long-haul trucks in Kent Washington, estimate that roughly seventy percent (70%) of all trucking accidents are caused by fatigue.
