New York Construction Accident Lawyer

Special legal protections are available for workers and visitors to construction sites. In addition to Workers’ Compensation, a worker suffering a serious injury may have the right to file lawsuits against product manufacturers, the property owner, contractors, subcontractors, or other parties.

If you are facing a lifetime with a permanent disability, or have lost a family member to wrongful death in a construction or workplace accident, it is important you contact an attorney with experience in New York construction accident law.

Lawyer Daniel A. Kalish has represented injured New York construction workers and their families for over 20 years. If you would like to discuss your claim for an accident at work, contact our White Plains law office and make arrangements for a free consultation.

It is important that you do this as soon as possible, before the various statutes of limitations run out, and while evidence is still available, witnesses remember details, and federal OSHA violations can be documented.

NY Labor Law 240, known as the New York Scaffold Law, specifically holds owners and contractors liable for scaffolding falls, ladder falls, falls into unguarded excavation sites, and construction site falls caused by negligence.

Other on-the-job injuries may involve multiple claims, such as those involving a motor vehicle accident while working, or those caused by poor security in the building you went to in the course of work.
