NYC Construction Site Accident Attorneys

New York City Construction Accident

Construction work is one of the most dangerous types of work. Falls from ladders, scaffolds, roofs, beams or other elevated heights, in addition to falling objects, unstable structures, unsafe property, modified or defective machinery, hazardous debris, deep holes and poorly constructed scaffolding are just some of the hazards that cause thousands of serious injuries and hundreds of deaths each year in the industry.

Cases In Which Additional Injury Compensation Might Be Available

Navigating The Complications Of New York Injury Law | Asserting Your Rights

In New York, injury laws are complicated, but construction injury laws offer significant protections and legal options to injured construction workers. You might be entitled to additional financial compensation under the following circumstances, among others:

• Ladder, scaffolding and other falls from heights: General contractors and certain property owners may be held strictly liable for defective, improperly constructed or otherwise unsafe ladders, scaffolding or other safety equipment.
• Equipment accidents: Machinery and product failures might warrant a third-party product liability claim, in which a manufacturer, distributor, designer or retailer of a product may be held liable for your injury. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to make a claim against the general contractor and/or the owner of the property where the accident took place.
• Safety violations: New York Industrial Code, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations and premises liability laws are very specific about the responsibilities of employers, contractors and property owners. Unsafe, poorly managed work sites can lead to serious injuries to both workers and passersby.
