Construction Accidents

Our lawyers are experienced in providing representation for persons who have suffered personal injuries or wrongful death as a result of a construction site accident. Construction accidents can occur on residential property, commercial property, or at industrial construction sites. When someone is injured or killed on or near a construction site, the owner or general contractor or a subcontractor may be liable for any injuries sustained.

A construction site accident can be extremely serious, and may cause wrongful death, permanent disability, loss of a limb, blindness, head injury, fractured or broken bones, amputation, or paralysis. Often the medical bills will be large, and there may be a long period of disability and lost wages. Worker's compensation may pay for some of the medical bills and lost earnings, but worker's compensation may not adequately compensate an injured worker for permanent losses and disability arising from a serious construction accident.

We represent construction site workers who are injured on the job as well a bystanders who are injured in construction site accidents. This may include laborers, carpenters, electricians, ironworkers, crane operators, plumbers, masons, painters, sheet metal workers, welders, heavy equipment operators, and all other construction trades. Contractors and site owners are responsible for providing a safe work environment, and there are special laws in place to protect those who work in elevated areas, such as on a scaffold, ladder, open floor or elevator.

In these claims it is essential that measures be taken promptly to preserve evidence, investigate the accident in question, and to file a lawsuit prior to the deadline imposed by the statute of limitations. If a loved one has been a victim of a construction accident, call Koenigsberg & Associates, P.C. now at 718-336-2000 or CLICK HERE TO SUBMIT A SIMPLE CASE FORM. The initial consultation is free of charge, and if we agree to accept your case, we will work on a contingent fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary award or recovery of funds. Don't delay! You may have a valid claim and be entitled to compensation for your injuries, but a lawsuit must be filed before the statute of limitations expires.

The above is not legal advice. That can only come from a qualified attorney who is familiar with all the facts and circumstances of a particular, specific case and the relevant law. See Terms of Use.
