New York construction workers can fall victim to many types of construction injuries on the job due to the dangerous workplace conditions they face each day. Head injuries, spinal cord injuries, burn injuries, and fractures are just a few of the injuries that can result from a serious accident on a construction site. Although in many cases these injuries are relatively minor and heal quickly, some construction accidents result in catastrophic injuries that cause lifelong disabilities for the victim. In addition, serious injuries can often be career ending for construction workers, whose labor is often physically rigorous and demanding.
There are many types of unsafe practices that can cause construction accidents, including improper maintenance of tools, improper use of explosives and improper scaffold construction. Lack of safety training, safety equipment and accident prevention planning can also contribute to construction site injuries. It is important to know that in certain cases, construction accident victims can commence successful lawsuits even when the precise cause of the accident is not known. The bottom line is that construction site owners, contractors and employers are generally responsible for providing workers with a safe place to work. If you have been injured, they have likely failed to live up to that responsibility, and you need the right law firm to hold them accountable.
Our lawyers have recovered hundreds of millions of dollars on behalf of injured clients.
