Manhattan Construction Debris Attorney
New York seems to be constantly under construction. Because the footprint of a construction site is often quite small, and there are so many such sites, it may be difficult for you to avoid objects falling from unfinished buildings. This is true whether you are a worker at a site or a passerby. When falling debris, tools and construction materials cause injury or death, it is important to consult an experienced construction accident injury attorney to learn whether you are eligible to file a lawsuit. You may be able to recover compensation for your injuries, damages and losses.
Dedicated and Experienced Construction Accident Injury Lawyers
At the New York law firm of Antin, Ehrlich & Epstein, LLP Attorneys at Law, we advocate for clients who suffered a construction site injury due to falling debris. We also file wrongful death claims for family members whose loved ones died in construction accidents such as these. In both cases, our attorneys build on their extensive experience, developing strong cases that seek to recover compensation for damages, expenses and losses. With more than 25 years of legal experience, our principal attorneys have the knowledge and resources to create successful arguments in pursuit of positive outcomes for our clients.
We consult extensively with safety experts, construction professionals, medical providers and others who can help us understand how the accident and injury occurred and document the effect it had on our client's life, career and family. We are zealous advocates for our clients at trial or in settlement negotiations, seeking the most favorable outcome possible.

- Falling construction materials, including bricks, tiles, boards, bolts, paint cans and wire spools
