New York Construction Accidents Attorney

Construction Accidents frequently involve serious personal injury and death.  They can be the result of many things, including another party’s negligence, inadequate safety measures or inspections, defective equipment, or violations of Law, such as the New York State Labor Law and OSHA.  The fact is that workers are subjected to dangerous conditions on a daily basis, and are often either seriously injured, or injured to the extent that they cannot effectively return to work. They endure severe pain and suffering as well as the loss of income for their families.

A word about Workers Compensation,  many people are familiar with Workers Compensation benefits that may be obtained for a worker who is injured on the job.  Basically this is a state law that provides benefits to the injured worker.  Too often, however, these benefits are severely limited, and inadequate to fully compensate the injured party.  This law also provides that a worker usually cannot sue his or her own employer.  However, there are many situations where a lawsuit for pain and suffering and damages can be brought against responsible third parties (including an owner, contractor, subcontractor, manufacturer of machinery or equipment, etc.) in addition to the Workers Compensation benefits received.

As you can guess the legal issues involved in a construction accident can be complex.  So, if you’ve been injured at work, the important thing to do ( of course, after seeking the proper medical attention) is to contact an attorney as soon as possible, so that you can take the necessary steps to preserve your rights and bring your claim.  Among other things, the accident site must be investigated, experts retained, witnesses interviewed, and potential defendants identified.

I hope that you will contact me to discuss your case.   The inquiry, and consultation are always free of charge, with no obligation on your part (even if you do not retain me). My fee in personal injury matters is a percentage of the recovery, so there is NO FEE WITHOUT A RECOVERY OF MONEY DAMAGES.

Remember, priority #1 is to recover FROM your personal injuries (to get better).  So seek out the best medical attention and treatment.

Priority #2 is to recover FOR your personal injuries (to protect and assert your legal rights, and to recover money for the damages you have suffered).  Let me help you with priority #2.
