Construction Accidents and Worksite Injuries

The NYS Labor Law and the NYS Industrial Code provide added protection to certain workers who incurred injuries while using ladders, scaffold, platforms and similar devices.

Our talented attorneys offer strategic, experienced advocacy to the victims and families of construction site and workplace accidents. We will aggressively pursue compensation through workers’ compensation benefits as well as against third parties including manufacturers, product suppliers, negligent subcontractors, and property management.

While construction site accidents can be inherently dangerous in certain situations, it is the duty of the general contractor and the property owner to ensure the safety of workers throughout the construction project. Machinery, power tools, trenches, scaffolding, ladders and hoists and pulleys should all be properly maintained and managed responsibly to protect workers and passerby from serious injury or wrongful death. 

We are experienced in identifying those situations where injured parties are entitled to additional protection under the law, including injuries resulting from: ladder and scaffolding falls, explosions, fires and electrical burns, construction equipment failures/accidents, roofers/rooftop accidents, and improper maintenance.

Many construction site accident claims are the result of poor working conditions, negligence, faulty tools and machinery, or a failure to maintain the work site. We are experienced in handling complex cases involving construction site accidents and will begin an immediate detailed investigation to protect your rights.
