Construction Accidents

Construction Accidents

Construction sites are inherently dangerous, and employers are legally obligated to provide workers with proper safety equipment such as hard hats, gloves, and fall protection harnesses. When these basic protections are missing or improperly secured, the risk of serious injury increases dramatically. No matter how experienced a worker may be, unsafe conditions can result in life-altering harm.

Our firm routinely handles complex injury cases involving construction site negligence. We have a proven track record of success, including a $20 million verdict for a construction accident victim, a reminder of just how devastating these incidents can be. If you have been injured on or near a construction site, you may face a long recovery, steep medical bills, and lost income. Our experienced New York construction accident attorneys are here to help you pursue full compensation and get you on the path to healing and financial stability. </p>
