Construction Accidents

Construction Accidents

Construction sites are dangerous, and workers must take every precaution to protect themselves on the job. Employers must provide construction workers with safety equipment, such as harnesses, hard hats, and gloves, but these items are often not worn or connected to an anchor point. Regardless of your experience in construction, you can become seriously injured if safety measures are not in place. Our New York construction law attorneys routinely handle catastrophic injury cases resulting from construction site negligence.

If you are hurt on or near a construction site, you can potentially face a long recovery, medical expenses, and lost wages. An example of one of our $20 million dollar construction accident verdicts shows just how dangerous construction work can be. Our experienced New York construction accident attorneys help you obtain justice and compensation for your injuries and get you on the road to recovery.

Slip, Trip & Fall Accidents
