New York Jobsite Accident Lawyer

Building Collapse and Injuries

When a building collapses, those within it often suffer grievous injuries and may tragically not survive. Those near it can also be affected by parts of the structure collapsing directly onto them or by debris striking them, which is possible even at a distance. The injuries often experienced can cover the full range of severity and again, death may result. If you or a loved one has suffered such an accident, a New York construction accident attorney can review the circumstances to determine your legal options. Depending on the cause of the accident, they can identify the correct party to pursue for compensation. Building collapses may typically be caused by defective design, substandard materials, inadequate preparation and laying of the foundation, or poor quality or badly planned construction.
