Construction Worker Injury Lawyers

Construction sites hold many dangers for construction workers.  There are falling accidents, such as falls from ladders, scaffoldings or other significant heights. There are trip-and-fall accidents that occur from construction debris or walkway obstructions. Construction injuries can also happen as a result of faulty machinery, crane accidents or trench collapses. The resulting injuries, such as complex bone fractures, neck injuries or back injuries can be severe and even include a loss of life.

Trips And Falls On Construction Sites

It is important that walkways on construction sites be kept free of debris.  A common type of construction injury occurs when hazards are not removed from walkways and constructions sites are not maintained to the safety standard.  New York has safety codes in place in place to prevent injuries that can occur when a worker trips or slips on debris and falls.

If you or a family member has suffered any type of injury while at work on a construction site, contact an experienced law firm like Sobo & Sobo. It is the responsibility of owners or general contractors to keep the site safe and free of dangers. If the accident was caused by negligence, you may be entitled to more than a workers’ compensation claim. We can help you determine if you should pursue compensation for pain, suffering, or other damages.

In New York, safety codes require that construction workers who work on scaffolds and ladders receive proper safety protection to help prevent falls from heights.
