Construction workers often work in elevated sites. Lack of attention to safety can cause serious injury or wrongful death.
Because of inadequate safety equipment at a job site, a construction worker fell 29 feet and sustained severe back injuries that limited his ability to pursue his work as a laborer. Despite the fact that he was an illegal worker, we recovered $1.75 million.
Common New York Construction Accidents
The two most common type of construction workplace accidents are construction accident falls and accidents caused by unsafe construction equipment.
- Construction accident falls: When edges of floors are left unprotected, when holes are left uncovered, when safety equipment is not provided or if it fails or when debris is left where it can be tripped over, construction workers can fall and be seriously injured. You may have a personal injury claim in addition to a workers' compensation claim.
- Unsafe equipment accidents: Dangerous scaffolding, unsafe ladders, dangerous wiring or toxic chemicals at a construction site can cause serious injury. When the unsafe conditions are caused by the negligence of a subcontractor or supplier, our law firm will pursue claims against all potential parties to recover for your medical care, loss of wages and pain and suffering.
Construction accidents are the cause of numerous traumatic injuries, including spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, neck injuries and loss of limb.
