Harmed by Debris on a New York Construction Site?

Dangers of Debris: Serious Injury Claims

Debris on job sites can harm workers in many situations and many ways. If there is a fire, a collapse, a gas explosion or compressor explosion, debris can be sent flying through the air at great velocity. It can contain shards of glass or heavy masses of material and travel with some velocity. Even less dramatic events can cause debris hazards – simply failing to secure or correctly handle material when working at a height can pose a great danger to those below.

If you are hit by debris, this can result in severe cuts, disfigurement, brain damage, broken bones, internal injuries and more. There is also the matter of toxins which can be released into the air in some situations in which debris is present. Both during and after the event that spread debris through the site, these toxins can remain and wreak havoc on your health if you are exposed to them. These effects are not always apparent immediately and it is vital you record any health problems you begin to experience. Seek medical treatment and alerting your New York construction accident lawyer.
