Experienced Construction Accident Help For Your Case

In New York, a law known as Labor Law Section 240 governs the rights of construction workers who have been hurt on the job.

While our firm can represent workers hurt on any size of construction job, it is important to know that you do not have to be hurt on a gigantic construction site to recover compensation. Even an accident that occurs while putting in a new light fixture in a retail store can qualify for compensation.

In the construction of new buildings, as well as the renovation or modernization of existing buildings, workers who are injured due to negligence have the right to pursue compensation for their injuries, medical bills and lost wages. If your accident and injuries qualify, the owner of the site or building and/or the general contractor are strictly liable for your injuries.
