CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS

Oftentimes, economic considerations and project deadlines are prioritized over keeping a job site safe for workers. As a result, hardworking men and women are exposed to unnecessary dangers that ultimately result in catastrophic injuries or death which leave many unable to return to a working and a productive life.

Any injury on a construction site may result in liability on the part of the owners, contractors, sub-contractors, architects and manufacturers of equipment who are responsible for the safety of the project site. The owner, general contractor and all subcontractors are required by law to provide a reasonably safe project site. Accidents such as a fall from a scaffold, ladder or other height are actionable.

Accidents on construction sites often occur as a result of unsafe ladders, improperly assembled scaffolding, construction debris, poorly constructed walls and/or floors, etc. These accidents often result in severe injuries such as spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, fractured bones requiring surgical repair and more.

New York State Labor Laws protect those who build, repair, restore, and modernize the buildings, roads, homes, schools, hospitals and general infrastructure of our state. New York State Labor Laws also provides important protection for those who work at elevated heights.
