The personal injury excavation accident lawyers at Bisogno & Meyerson, LLP., have decades of experience in handling of on-the-job personal injury claims, as well as, workers compensation accident claims, relating to excavation accidents. These accidents can happen to excavation workers who are conducting excavation work which often involves such things as digging trenches, pits and troughs, to remove concrete foundations, retaining walls, underpinning, elevator shafts, rock excavation and removal, drilled and grouted ground anchors, concrete vault removal, concrete slab removal, interior demolition, and more. Excavation is often done to install such things as the building of residential basements, swimming pools, machine rooms, parking garages, and other projects for bridges, factories, warehouses, personal residences, industrial plants, removal of industrial tanks, and excavation of land to clear and prepare construction areas to remodel or construct new buildings, construct or rebuild roadways and overpasses, and other construction projects.

Construction excavation often requires the use of heavy equipment, excavation tools and sometimes demolition explosives, which are often necessary due to Manhattans unforgiving hard rock formations. These excavation tools, equipment and explosives, if not utilized properly could cause airborne toxins and damage electric, sewer, fuel, water and telephone lines, and any other underground installations that one could reasonably expect underground in the demolition area. Excavation, heavy equipment, tools, and explosives, can also loosen building materials, debris, and workers tools, at the excavation site which can fall and become a danger to other workers, and the general public. Additionally, the shaking of buildings and structures, scaffolds, ladders, and other temporary platforms can be caused to shake further causing workers to fall and get seriously injured.
