New York City Construction Accidents & Deaths Remain on the Rise A recent New York Times article stated that during the past two years, 31 construction workers have died on the job.

Hopefully this oversight isn’t due to our city placing an unacceptably low value on the lives of the many young immigrant workers who often die in these accidents.

During 2013, pedestrian deaths reached 180 – the highest number for the past decade. Fortunately, citizen advocacy groups, Mayor Bill de Blasio, and...

While this seems improbable, it can happen because of the person's expectations says Arkady Frekhtman, one of the trip & fall accident attorneys at the F&A injury law firm in New York City. When using a sidewalk, it's natural to assume that it's a perfectly safe activity. Walking on sidewalks is not an extreme sport and shouldn't require the same intense focus of spotting fall hazards. It's a reasonable expectation that it's safe to...

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Accidents, Medical Malpractice

Managing severe back pain following a serious fall or a major vehicle accident can be a daunting task explains one of the New York City medical malpractice lawyers at the Frekhtman &Associates law firm.

While this latter procedure frequently provides some short-term relief for a few weeks or longer for many patients, its...
