One of the most dangerous occupations in the country is working at a construction site. Hundreds of thousands of workers are injured and even killed in construction site accidents each year. New York construction site accidents cause more and more injuries and deaths each year.

In New York State , construction workers have little control over their job safety and equipment. In fact, construction workers are subjected every day to dangerous work conditions that result in serious injuries and death. 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. New York State enacted the Labor Law providing workers with strong protection against workplace accidents. Even though the law favors construction workers, it is very important to select an attorney who has experience with litigating construction accident cases.
