Bad Construction Accidents in New York City

Bad construction accidents happen too often, despite the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) setting guidelines for contractors to follow, intended to keep professionals working in the construction industry safe. Additionally, New York state law has special provisions to address the unique dangers faced by construction workers but sometimes they fall short in protecting professionals.

Your personal attorney is the only party who has your best interests at heart

Too many victims of construction-related accidents are under the impression that the insurance company will adequately compensate them for their injuries, which is false. In fact, insurance companies often try to downplay construction-site injuries. Workers’ compensation rarely covers all of the expenses of a construction-related accident. Your personal attorney is the only party who has your best interests at heart. In fact, the insurance company will look for ways to avoid granting you a fair settlement. Together with our clients, we go through the entire case and assess blame. In some cases, it’s the contractor or subcontractor or a third-party who is to blame. After identifying the negligent party, we build a case that work tirelessly to win every single dollar a client is entitled to under law.
