All it takes is one slip and fall, trench collapse, or scaffolding accident. If you suffer a serious injury, your career and livelihood could be over. We want to make sure you get the immediate medical care you need and the long-term financial compensation you deserve to protect your family.
Injured workers are entitled to workers' compensation, but there is a limit to how much you can collect from workers' compensation. Many workers injured in construction accidents can file a personal injury as well. The limits applicable to a workers' compensation claim will not constrain an injured worker in connection with any claim against parties responsible for his or her injury. We will put in the time and effort to make sure you maximize your recovery and fully protect your family.
In many cases, OSHA gets involved as soon as a construction accident takes place. We want you to contact us as soon as possible in order to get a head start, so we can work with OSHA to understand any safety violations that may have occurred. We handle a wide range of construction accidents, including:
- Slip and Falls
- Scaffolding Accidents
- Trench Collapse
Our firm limits the number of cases we handle to ensure that people who have suffered serious injuries get the dedicated legal counsel they require. We do not handle cases involving soft tissue damage.
Scaffolding Accidents
Scaffolding accidents are some of the most dangerous accidents on a construction site. Luckily, New York has made provisions to protect the rights of workers injured in scaffolding accidents. If your scaffolding accident involved a fall from a height, there is absolute liability in any personal injury claim you file. That means you do not have to prove liability to collect the compensation you deserve. As your attorneys, it is our job to demonstrate the effect of your injuries in order to maximize your claim.
