Construction Accidents
There are many construction sites throughout New York City and Long Island. Construction sites can be extremely dangerous, and injuries from construction site accidents can be serious and even fatal. Both pedestrians passing by a construction site and construction workers are at risk of suffering life-altering injuries from dangerous and unsafe construction sites.
New York City Construction accidents can result from:
Scaffolding falls
Ladder falls
Crane collapse
Ceiling collapse
Electrical shock
Unsafe equipment
Dangerous / defective machinery
Fires
Explosions
Falling objects
Structure failure
And more
Due to the serious dangers of construction sites, New York Labor Laws require that construction site owners and contractors enforce safety rules and regulations at construction sites. Not only are pedestrians and other people passing by construction sites protected under New York law, but construction workers are also protected under New York law.
New York has laws in place specifically designed to protect construction workers from construction site on the job injuries. "The Scaffold Law" allows injured construction workers to sue owners and/or contractors for safety violations related to scaffolding, ladders, hoists, ropes, pulleys, and other devices.
Barriers exist under New York State laws related to work-related accidents, which make it difficult for an injured worker to file a personal injury lawsuit due to a work-related accident, but work-related construction site accidents in New York are different. Injured construction workers can sue property owners and contractors for construction accident injuries.
