Construction Accidents

Causes of Personal Injuries

A construction site injury can be severe and may lead to permanent disability, which can prevent a worker from earning wages and supporting themselves and their loved ones. Fortunately, New York Labor Law protects construction workers who were injured on the job and may allow these individuals an opportunity to collect compensation for their losses. At Block O’Toole & Murphy, our New York construction accident attorneys are well-versed in labor laws, including Labor Law Section 240, that protect injured construction workers. In fact, our New York construction accident law firm has two members and a co-chair on the New York State Trial Lawyers Association Labor Law Committee.

Types of New York Construction Accidents

There are many unsafe workplace practices that can lead to a construction site injury including failure to maintain construction equipment and improper scaffold construction. Lack of proper training or safety equipment can also contribute to the development of a construction site accident. New York construction workers should remember that, in some instances, they may be able to recover compensation for their workplace injuries even when the exact cause of the accident is unknown. Generally, contractors, sub-contractors and construction site owners have a responsibility for providing a safe workplace.
