Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Semi Truck Accidents, Tractor Trailer Accidents, Truck Accidents

At their maximum allowed weight of 80,000 pounds, semi trucks are the behemoths of the road. Unfortunately, this fact isn't fully appreciated by many of the motorists who share the road with them. The enormous weight of semi trucks increases their stopping distance, and their high center of gravity makes them vulnerable to tipping over. A fully loaded trailer is top-heavy, and the truck driver that doesn't drive extra slow on curves can tip over explains a New York City truck accident lawyer. When the trailer is empty, it risks tipping over from strong wind gusts. Without cargo weight to hold it down,...

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

NYC Burn Injury Lawyer Discusses: Protecting New York Children from Fire Accidents & Burn Injuries

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Burn Injuries

When kids develop severe burn injuries, they often suffer more than some adults due to their skin’s thinness and added sensitivity explains New York City burn injury lawyer, Arkady Frekhtman, at the F&A accident law firm. That’s why adults must immediately rush seriously burned children to the nearest emergency room.

Although overall burn rates for children age 19 and under decreased significantly between 1999 and 2013, they actually increased 30% between 2012 and 2013. Parents, teachers and all other adults must proactively safeguard young...

Personal Injury Lawyer discusses Pedestrian Parking Lot Accidents

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Accidents, Pedestrian Accidents, Personal Injuries

Parking lots are dangerous because they mix cars and pedestrians together, yet are neither streets nor sidewalks. They lack the traffic control and intensive law enforcement of streets and highways, and unlike sidewalks, they don't isolate the pedestrian from motor vehicle traffic. Painted lines and stop signs are in place to direct and control motor vehicles, but drivers can freely ignore them without fearing consequences. In addition to this imperfect arrangement, the slow speed of traffic lulls both drivers and pedestrians into a false sense of security. Drivers are distracted by their cell phones while looking for parking spaces, and pedestrians...
