SAW OR CUTTING BLADE CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS

Saws and cutting blades can lead to a loss of extremities, deep cuts and even death on New York construction sites.

New York construction workers have one of the most dangerous occupations anywhere. In addition to working with heavy machinery, construction workers must handle dangerous tools, such as saws and cutting blades on a daily basis. When a cutting blade or saw is defective or used improperly, the consequences can be devastating.

The injuries stemming from New York saw and cutting blade accidents are often serious; the sharp properties of these tools can lead to deep lacerations, loss of limbs and loss of fingers or toes. When a saw or cutting blade accident leads to a loss of the hands or fingers or other dismemberment, the construction worker may never be able to return to work. He or she may also be faced with a pile of costly medical bills stemming from subsequent treatment and care to prevent infection. In the most serious cases, saw and cutting blade accidents can even lead to death.
