Reflecting the dangers inherent in construction work, New York labor law has numerous provisions that allow injured construction workers to recover compensation for their damages and losses. However, actually obtaining full and fair settlements or jury awards requires the help of an attorney who knows how to hold building owners, general contractors and others responsible for injuries to workers hurt on the job.
Manhattan and Long Island Construction Injury Attorney
At the New York and Long Island law firm of Antin, Ehrlich & Epstein, LLP Attorneys at Law, we know the relevant laws that can help our clients maximize their recovery. Our lawyers are well versed in Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, the New York State Industrial Code (including New York Labor Law 240(1), often known as the Scaffolding Law, as well as 241(6) and 200) and workers' compensation law. These and other statutes and regulations allow us to pursue compensation on behalf of construction workers injured because of:
- Scaffolding accidents
- Falls from ladders
- Forklift accidents
- Crane accidents
- Electrical accidents
- Construction equipment accidents
- Falling objects, tools and building materials
- Faulty flooring on-site
- Roof falls
- Work vehicle accidents
- Trips and falls
- Slipping on ice and snow on-site
- Trench collapses
- Work site demolition accidents
When violation of the law causes accidents such as these and results in death, our attorneys help family members file wrongful death claims. We know that recovering compensation will not stop our clients' grief, but we also know that being free from financial worry can help them put their lives back together again.
