Personal Injury

Construction workers and those near work sites are vulnerable to a number of safety hazards. The most common construction site dangers include falls from elevated heights, electrocution, falling objects, and toxic chemical exposure. While many times employers and even workers themselves downplay the importance of jobsite safety, it is no small matter to break an arm or leg or to be permanently disabled.

The New York State Labor Law is specifically designed to protect workers who are injured on a construction job site or engaged in certain construction related activities. The law makes the general contractor and owner of the property responsible for site safety. It matters not whether the general contractor or owner actually supervises the work. The same is true for "elevation related" accidents such as falls from ladders or scaffolds.

Even if you believe that your actions partially contributed to your accident, it is not a bar to recovery. In addition, your right to compensation may be a completely separate and distinct claim from workers’ compensation benefits.
