Construction Accident Injury
Cases We Handle
Ladder Accidents
Falls from ladders are a common hazard on construction sites. Ladder accidents result from unsafe practices, defective ladders, lack of training, and other causes. Individuals working near a ladder can also suffer injuries from falling objects or people.
Trip and Falls
When equipment, power cords, supplies, and other debris accumulate on a job site, workers face the risk of tripping and falling. Trip-and-fall accidents can cause severe injuries, especially when a person falls to a lower level.
Saw Injuries
Power saws and even hand saws pose a significant safety risk on construction sites. Improper use of a saw can cause deep cuts and even amputation of fingers and limbs. Eye injuries are another risk when ungaurded blades eject material. Defective designs or inadequate safety equipment can make saws especially dangerous.
Falling Objects
People working on lower levels are at risk of suffering catastrophic injuries when tools, building supplies, or other objects fall from above. Contractors in charge of work sites should take measures to prevent objects from falling. Tragic accidents can result when they fail to do so.
Scaffolding Accidents
The New York Scaffold Law protects workers who fall or are struck by falling objects. Construction company owners and contractors must provide safety equipment and take steps to ensure a safe working environment.
Crane Accidents
Cranes are essential but dangerous to operate. A mishap can result in accidents that can be deadly and lead to permanently disabling injuries to both workers and pedestrians nearby.
Electrocution
Electrical wiring and machinery are abundant on work sites. If an electrocution injury was due to someone else’s negligent actions, you may be able to file a lawsuit for compensation.
