Our New York City construction accidents lawyers represent workers injured at construction sites. Construction accidents take many forms and may be caused by many reasons.
New York City construction workers are routinely hurt by falls, construction equipment, electric shocks, hazardous materials, and burns. Construction site and building owners have a general legal duty to maintain a safe working place for construction workers. There are also many rules and that pertain to the owners’ liability. Construction sites are inherently dangerous places and these laws are in fact so strict that they would often hold the owner or contractor liable whether or not the injured worker was at fault.
Construction accidents may also happen due to insufficient safety inspections, negligence, equipment malfunction, or OSHA violations.
We carefully select our construction accident cases and we work with experienced construction accidents investigators to recreate the accidents to determine its cause. If you have a case, we will bring a workers' compensation claim on your behalf as well as legal claims against the owner, contractor, and any negligent party to ensure that you receive maximum compensation.
