Scaffold, Ladder, Roof Law & Construction Accidents

New York Scaffold, Ladder, Roof Law & Construction Accident Lawyers

Construction work is dangerous business and thousands of workers are injured or killed at work each year. Many accidents involve falls from scaffolding, ladders, roofs or other heights or workers being injured by falling objects. Others involve the failure on the part of your employer, the general contractor, building owner or others to provide the proper safety equipment to protect construction workers and prevent them from being injured.

Injuries caused by these accidents are often severe and may result in a serious disability that prevents the injured worker from ever returning to work. Most construction workers are not aware that NYS Labor Law Sections 200, 240 and 241 are designed specifically to protect construction workers when they fall from any “height” or when they are injured by an object falling from a “height” or when they are not provided with the proper safety equipment. These laws permit injured workers to receive an insurance settlement for pain, suffering, permanent injury, etc., IN ADDITION to their Workers’ Compensation claim!
