Construction Accident

Construction site accidents are common in the work place. Thousands of construction workers are injured or killed in a construction site accident each year. Construction companies are responsible for inspecting each site with their safety engineers and offer safety programs, but unfortunately accidents are still occurring due to irresponsibility or inadequate provisions. No matter how strict the safety standards are regarding construction, all construction laborers are at risk every day while on the job. New York State law prohibits employees from suing their employers for on the job accidents. Contractors, architects, manufacturers and property owners may be held liable for injuries or wrongful deaths that take place at the construction site. Cases involving construction-related injuries require comprehensive knowledge of a complex and continuously evolving body of law. They also require an understanding of the practical consequence a serious injury can have on a wage earner and his family.
