Construction workers have little control over their job safety and equipment. In fact, they are subjected every day to dangerous work conditions that result in serious injuries and death.

A scaffold lawyer with experience is important to have in cases such as these.

Our attorneys know that these hazards can include falls from scaffolds and other elevations, even when workers are wearing safety harnesses and lanyards, being struck by moving objects or falling machinery, electrocution, exposure to hazardous chemicals, and injuries caused by defective or unsafe equipment. If you are involved in a injury whether it involves a falling object, a ladder, scaffold, or a workman falls, you should consult a law firm immediately to help you determine if you have a viable claim. A attorney will be able to provide you with the proper guidance, counseling and advice you will need to move forward with your negligence claim. Work site accidents have a way of causing devastation to working class families. Whether it involves a fall, a collapsing scaffold, falling materials, falling debris, or a ladder that results in injury, we can help.

Recognizing the dangerous nature of this work and the limited power given workers at the worksite, at the urging of unions and law firms, legislators enacted the Labor Law providing workers with strong protection against workplace accidents. The workers and the attorney who sues on their behalf appreciate the protection it offers. Experienced defense lawyers, Contractors and insurance carriers, on the other hand, oppose it because when the facts satisfy the law, it is virtually certain they will have to pay significant settlements. Defense attorneys and insurance companies are therefore constantly lobbying state and federal lawmakers to severely limit or completely eliminate these protections. Even though the law favors workers, it is very important to select a injury lawyer who has extensive experience and a proven track record litigating injury cases against skilled defense attorneys and powerful insurance companies. A scaffold lawyer, or ladder attorney, is familiar with the ever changing case law in this personal injury law area. Its important to have a law firm who is prepared to go the distance for you.

As a New York Construction Accident Attorney, we recently recovered $4.5 million during trial for a client who was seriously injured in an accident. We understand what it takes to successfully achieve a multi-million dollar award for you. While one clients success is no guarantee of a win in your case, we work hard for our clients. We handle accidents resulting from falls from work areas, scaffolds and ladders, injuries sustained due to unsafe work conditions, and injuries from falling objects being hoisted. Many site owners and their general contractors cut corners and fail to provide workers with proper safety equipment or safe work conditions. While the State Labor Law requires such protection, it is frequently ignored. Wrongdoers are motivated to make more money at the expense of worker safety. As experienced lawyers, we know that hard work, and diligence is the roadmap to success. While no lawsuit is easy, these cases are particularly hard fought, especially since they involve significant injuries.
