Construction Accidents

Each year, thousands of people are injured and killed in construction accidents due to construction being a dangerous occupation. A work related accident often results in two different types of injury cases; a personal injury claim such as a products liability claim against an equipment manufacturer, and a workers' compensation claim. If you were injured in a construction accident, it is important to speak with our attorneys to find out what you may be entitled to. You may be eligible for compensation to cover lost wages, pain and suffering and more.

Construction related injuries can result from a number of different accidents, including:

• Roadside accidents
• Cave-ins
• Falls
• Defective machinery
• Lack of maintenance
• Defective tools
• Faulty scaffolding
• Toxic chemical exposure

The largest amount of worker fatalities come from the construction industry, according to a study from the US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics. In fact, more than 1,000 deaths result from construction accidents each year. Many of these fatal accidents could have been prevented if it weren't for another person making a careless choice. Many times, the accident is not the fault of the victim. If your loved one was killed in a construction accident and you feel it was the result of another's negligence, contact our attorneys.

Injuries that result from construction accidents are often very serious and may result in a severe disability that prevents the injured employee from ever returning to work. Many construction workers in New York are not aware there are laws that have been made specifically to protect construction workers when they fall while doing construction, when they are injured by a falling object or when they are not provided with the proper safety equipment that is needed to do their job. These laws allow injured construction workers to receive an insurance settlement in addition to a Workers’ Compensation claim.
