CONSTRUCTION
ACCIDENTS
Oftentimes, economic considerations and project deadlines are prioritized
over keeping a job site safe for workers. As a result, hardworking
men and women are exposed to unnecessary dangers that ultimately
result in catastrophic injuries or death which leave many unable
to return to a working and a productive life.
Any injury on a construction site may result in liability on the
part of the owners, contractors, sub-contractors, architects and
manufacturers of equipment who are responsible for the safety of
the project site. The owner, general contractor and all subcontractors
are required by law to provide a reasonably safe project site. Accidents
such as a fall from a scaffold, ladder or other height are actionable.
Accidents on construction sites often occur as a result of unsafe
ladders, improperly assembled scaffolding, construction debris,
poorly constructed walls and/or floors, etc. These accidents often
result in severe injuries such as spinal cord injuries, traumatic
brain injuries, fractured bones requiring surgical repair and more.
New York State Labor Laws protect those who build, repair, restore,
and modernize the buildings, roads, homes, schools, hospitals and
general infrastructure of our state. New York State Labor Laws also
provides important protection for those who work at elevated heights.
