Construction Accident Cases We Handle
Construction injuries often fall into specific legal categories. Start with the description that best matches how the accident occurred.
Scaffold Falls
Falls from elevated platforms can lead to severe, life-changing injuries. These claims are evaluated under New York labor law provisions designed to protect workers exposed to gravity-related risks.
Ladder Falls
Unstable or improperly secured ladders are a frequent cause of serious injuries on job sites. Liability analysis may involve contractors, site managers, and equipment providers.
General Construction Site Accidents
Injuries caused by falling objects, unsafe flooring, machinery, or poor coordination between trades can create complex claims. You receive a structured review of how the incident occurred and which parties may be responsible.
Understanding Your Options After a Worksite Injury
Many injured workers worry that their employment status will complicate their claim. Whether you are a direct employee, subcontractor, or working under another contractor, your legal options depend on how the accident occurred and which parties controlled the site. Construction injury cases may involve workers’ compensation benefits, third-party claims, or labor law protections. A focused review helps clarify which path applies to your situation without unnecessary delay.
Construction sites change quickly, and conditions may be altered after an accident. Preserving facts early can make a significant difference.
Evidence That Can Protect a Scaffold or Site Claim
Photos of the scaffold, ladder, or area where the fall occurred
