Construction sites, factories, warehouses, and other active industrial workplaces can expose workers to some of the most dangerous conditions in New York. While accidents can happen in almost any workplace, construction sites are especially hazardous because they combine heights, heavy equipment, moving vehicles, electrical systems, unstable materials, and multiple trades working at the same time. In Brooklyn, Staten Island, and across New York City, a single unsafe condition can result in catastrophic injury or death.

Common worksite dangers include power tools, scaffolding, conveyor systems, ladders, forklifts, cranes, heavy machinery, falling materials, live electrical wires, trucks, and work being performed at elevated heights. A moment of negligence by a property owner, contractor, subcontractor, site supervisor, or equipment operator can leave a worker with traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures, crush injuries, amputations, electrocution injuries, severe burns, blindness, or wrongful death losses.

Our firm is committed to protecting the rights of injured workers. We investigate incident reports, OSHA-related materials where relevant, witness statements, surveillance footage, maintenance records, inspection logs, safety records, training documentation, and expert review to determine how the accident happened and who should be held accountable. Depending on the facts, an injured worker may have a workers compensation claim, a third-party personal injury claim, or both.

We pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, future earning capacity, pain and suffering in qualifying third-party cases, disability, disfigurement, and wrongful death damages where a family loses a loved one. We handle recoverable injury claims on a contingency fee basis, so you pay no legal fee unless we recover compensation for you.
