CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS

Construction accidents relate mostly to falling from scaffolds and ladders, objects striking workers from above, and improper use of construction equipment, such as backhoes, cement mixers, drilling equipment, and band saws that cause severe injuries and death.

Many laws protect the rights of construction workers. However, the worker must take the initiative at the time of the accident to report the injury to a foreman and immediately call 911 for assistance. Protect your rights concerning workplace injuries with construction accident claims in New York, NY.

Reporting an injury will establish a record that the accident occurred on a specific date and time at an active construction site. Do not be misled by dishonest employers and supervising general contractors into simply going home or even making false statements at a hospital about an accident not occurring at a work site. Such mistakes can be devastating to a case that could be worth millions of dollars. It is preferable to go to a nearby medical facility via ambulance and to contact our law firm right away. Never be concerned about offending your boss or co-workers, since your health and well-being should always be their priority as well as yours.
