Construction Accidents
Construction sites oftentimes are hazardous and can involve elevated heights or falling objects. These accidents are especially troubling, not only because you are put out of work, but also because the injuries involved can be very serious. However careful you are in the performance of your duties, the fact remains that you are still dealing with heavy equipment, extreme heights, trench shoring and other occupational hazards on a construction site. An unsafe condition, usually unknown to you, can cause considerable harm.

Helping Protect Your Rights!
Your employer, including a general contractor and owner, has obligations and responsibilities under federal law and under New York labor law to ensure that your workplace is safe and free of hazardous conditions. Most construction workers use scaffolds either daily or at some point in their workweek, and scaffolds should be inspected for defects before every shift. Some of the most common work-related accidents happen when construction workers fall from scaffolding because their harness breaks, their body belt loosens, or the scaffolding collapses.
I often see clients who have been injured by:
- Scaffolding Accidents
- Broken Ladders
- Falling from Heights
- Heavy Machinery
- Failure of Personal Protection Equipment such as Body Belts, Harnesses, Lanyards, Droplines, Trolley Lines, and Points of Anchorage
- Falling Objects
- Demolition Accidents
- Shoring Claims for Collapsed Trenches
- Fire
- Electrocution
