Jobsite Accident Attorney in New York

Falls from Construction Scaffolding

Construction sites, painting projects, roof repair, remodeling projects, and other similar work sites frequently use scaffolding to allow workers to do their jobs at considerable heights. New York labor laws have strict requirements that delineate the safety measures that must be in place when scaffolding is used, but these requirements are not always met by site owners or construction managers. When proper safety equipment and procedures are not in place, accidents occur, causing countless injuries and deaths every year. Common injuries sustained in scaffolding falls include broken legs, arms, back, and neck, internal injuries, brain trauma, and coma.

If you have been hurt in a scaffolding fall due to the negligence or carelessness of those in charge of a construction site, contact a New York construction accident attorney today. The project owner or manager, contractor, subcontractor, or construction manager may all be responsible for the injuries you have sustained, and if so, an attorney can fight for substantial compensation from all parties that will allow you to fully cover the expenses related to your injuries.
