New York State Labor Laws Protect Construction Workers
New York state labor laws require owners and contractors to provide a safe work environment. This includes providing harnesses and other safety gear to employees working at heights, including those working on roofs and on scaffolding. Helmets must be provided to protect from falling debris. Even if the victim was at fault in some way, if safety equipment was not provided, the owner or general contractor is responsible for the harm caused.
We work with investigators, safety experts and others in order to understand how a lack of safety equipment may have caused or contributed to a construction injury.
Workers' Compensation and Personal Injury Claims
Construction workers often file a workers' compensation claim after a workplace accident. Our lawyers have the experience to know that this may not be the only option to obtain compensation. In some cases a personal injury claim can also be filed against a property owner, general contractor or another party in order to maximize compensation. We will review all available options and pursue the one that makes the most sense in your case.
No Recovery, No Fee
We take workplace accident cases on a contingency basis. That means you will owe an attorney's fee only if we obtain compensation for you.
