Scaffolding, Ladder, Construction and On the Job Injuries

Construction is a major business in New York City and construction injuries occur on a too-often basis. Many of these injuries are scaffold or ladder related, involve falls from heights or other unsafe working conditions. Unsafe conditions include failure to provide adequate safety harnesses, failure to provide the right kind of scaffolding or ladder, providing defective or deficient scaffolds or ladders or a lack of proper training and supervision on the job site.

Injury cases involving scaffolding often focus on deficient equipment parts such as scaffold ties, side brackets, guard railings, toe-boards, work platform decking, locking pins and motors. Our attorneys are experienced in representing workers who suffer personal injury as a result of scaffold, ladder and other construction and on the job accidents. We will immediately investigate the circumstances surrounding the accident, interview appropriate witnesses and retain experts to evaluate working conditions and equipment provided .

Many injured workers do not understand that they may have the right to substantial benefits for personal injury, medical care and wage losses as a result of job related injuries. Injuries from these accidents commonly lead to a personal injury lawsuit and/or a workers compensation claim. These accidents can cause wrongful death, severe fractures, head injuries, paralysis and disability.

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.

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.
