New York Construction Accident Attorneys

Construction workers are injured on dangerous work sites in a number of ways:

• Scaffolding accidents / ladder accidents
• Window washer accidents
• Failure of adequate protection
• Falls from elevated work sites
• Respiratory damage
• Broken equipment
• Unsafe construction sites
• Being struck by construction machinery

New York's laws are tough on the construction industry. For example, if an employee is injured because of a fall from an elevated height while working, the owner of the site or its contractors may be strictly liable. Similar laws exist to protect window washers who have been injured. Statutes protect construction workers because of the inherent danger involved in their jobs.

Our firm's attorneys are knowledgeable in construction law, and we are able to move your injury claim as quickly as possible so that you can get moving on with your life.
