What To Do If You Had A Trip And Fall Accident

in Accident Injuries, Accidents, Pedestrian Accidents

1. If you are injured, call an ambulance from the scene of the accident and go to the hospital. Don't leave the scene. One of the most frequent defenses raised by insurance companies is that the accident did not happen in the manner alleged or in the location alleged. 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...

NYC Construction Accident Lawyers Discuss Demolition Work

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Construction Accidents

Demolition Work Can Lead to Serious & Fatal Injuries While most construction workers are hired to work for many months or years building skyscrapers from the ground up, others prefer to work on demolition crews that bring buildings down to the ground in a matter of seconds. One of the NYC construction accident lawyers at the F&A injury law firm explains: Although demolition work may look much easier, extensive planning is necessary to bring all structures safely to the ground. Likewise, both types of projects require the hiring of numerous safety engineers to minimize injuries. During any given year, it’s common for...

Aggravated a Pre-existing Medical Condition While on the Job? Our Workers Compensation Lawyers Can Help.

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Work Accidents, Workers Compensation

A pre-existing medical condition complicates matters when it comes to payment for a current work-related injury. Compensation will likely be reduced because of the pre-existing condition. Thankfully, our workers' compensation lawyers are available to answer these and other important questions. Is the current injury related to a prior workers' comp injury? If so, then your employer must still cover your medical expenses and pay you for time lost from work. If the new injury aggravated the prior condition permanently, however, then workers comp pays only the amount of the additional impairment. For that reason, using the same doctor you had for your...

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Accidents, Motorcycle Accidents

Ever since they were first introduced into New York City back in 2018, Revel mopeds have been quite popular. And now that it is still risky to ride mass transit due to the pandemic, there’s even greater demand for these two-wheeled vehicles. However, during the summer of 2020, many riders and city officials became concerned about all the new Revel moped accidents. In fact, three people died due to accidents involving Revel mopeds. Concerned about safety and legal issues, Revel pulled all its mopeds off the streets. However, after a brief time away, about 3,000 of the mopeds can now be...

in Accident Injuries, Accidents

If someone you know was injured because of a negligent act, you may be suffering along with them. However, here are some tips from injury lawyers on how to best care for the injured.
