Construction site accidents
Your construction site accident injury matters
The involvement of a general contractor, construction manager, or site foreman may influence who is responsible for a hazard that remains undetected on a construction site. There may be a degree of professional negligence involved.
New York Labor Law 240 provides special protections and provisions for compensation to workers injured due to a scaffolding accident or other injuries related to an elevated work space. Let us answer your questions about these provisions.
Common examples include:
- A carpenter leaving flooring on the upper floor of a building unsecured or only partially completed;
- An electrician leaving wiring in a condition where it can lead to an electrocution injury.
Construction site accidents frequently involve heavy machinery or industrial tools. We have seen severe injuries requiring surgery, leading to amputation, or causing blindness.
