Negligence on Construction Sites
Safety on a construction site is governed by specific New York laws and regulations, to which property owner, contractor and subcontractor are obligated to adhere. When these parties fail to meet their legal obligations, and you are injured as a result, you are entitled to financial compensation for your losses.
Our experienced attorneys handle a wide range of construction accident cases, including:
- Scaffold collapses
- Crane collapses
- Ladder breaks and falls
- Falling objects
- Defective power tools
- Defective heavy equipment
- Negligent operation of construction vehicles like forklifts
- Surfaces giving way beneath feet
Strategic, Aggressive Advocacy to Safeguard Your Best Interests
After a construction accident, it is important to begin an immediate investigation to memorialize conditions, since conditions on a job site can change quickly. We will promptly investigate the accident scene, interview witnesses, and gather and review all pertinent evidence.
A construction job typically involves many parties, so it is important to work with a legal team that has the necessary experience, skill and tenacity to analyze liability and pursue all claims accordingly. Where necessary, we will also consult with experts to support your case.
Construction accident claims tend to be high-stakes cases, and you can be assured that the insurance company will be on the scene immediately with their team of investigators. Without a lawyer, you are at a major disadvantage, as you try to play catch up with the insurance company's investigation. Our job is to protect your rights and even the playing field.
Workers' Compensation Claims and Construction Site Accidents
Many construction accident claims also involve a related workers' compensation claim. If this is your situation, we will work in conjunction with your worker's compensation attorney to ensure consistency and efficiency across the two cases. We know you want to get back on your feet as soon as possible, and we will work hard to help you reach that goal.
