Brooklyn Construction Injury Attorney
If you have been injured while working construction, you may have a personal injury claim in addition to any workers' comp you receive. If you have lost a family member in a construction accident, filing a wrongful death claim may help you hold the responsible parties accountable.
I am Brooklyn, Westchester County and Bronx construction accident attorney Daniel A. Kalish. Since 1986, my law practice has been dedicated to representing accident victims and their families. For a free consultation about your construction accident case, contact me today.
Pursuing Claims Against Negligent Contractors
If a person or company other than your actual employer is responsible for your injuries, you may be entitled to personal injury damages in addition to workers' compensation. I am experienced at helping clients pursue claims for all types of construction accidents, including:
- Scaffolding and ladder accidents
- Forklift and crane accidents
- Accidents caused by falling debris
- Accidents caused by collapsing retaining walls, ditches and trenches
Under New York Labor Law 200, 240 and 241, general contractors are responsible for making sure that subcontractors do their jobs safely. That means that if you have been injured due to the negligence of a subcontractor, you may have a claim against the general contractor.
I have a passion for helping injured people get fully compensated, and as an experienced trial lawyer, I am prepared to take cases to court to stand up for my clients' rights. If you've been injured in a construction accident, contact my office today to schedule an appointment.
