The personal injury window washer accident lawyer at Bisogno & Meyerson, LLP., has decades of experience in handling of on-the-job personal injury claims, as well as, workers compensation accident claims, relating to window washer accidents. These accidents can happen to window washers and workers who clean the exterior surfaces of buildings, and often require the use scaffolds, ladders, and other temporary platforms, which can also present a danger to other workers, and the general public, in the areas that they are working. The reason for most of these window washing accidents are due to a failure to comply with established safety measures, defective equipment, improper use of equipment and other work site neglect by foremen and others in charge. Our Brooklyn law firm is proud to have served seriously injured window washers, by bringing window washer cases, and workers compensation claims, on their behalf. Window washer related injury and wrongful death claims have resulted in multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements, over the years, throughout New York State, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Bronx & Staten Island.

As you look around NYC, the number of windows that are routinely washed in office buildings, shopping centers, schools, places of worship, residential buildings, medical centers, hospitals, schools and universities, transit centers and infrastructure projects, and other places, is astounding. Cleaning the windows and exterior surfaces of the buildings, often involve the use of scaffolds, ladders, cranes, and of course safety equipment, each which, if not utilized properly, can provide many opportunities for window washers and other workers who clean the exterior surfaces of buildings, to get hurt, while working, causing serious personal injuries, and unfortunately due to working at elevations, death. The NYC window washing industry contractors and workers are required to acquire licenses, permits, and safety training, and to adhere to certain safety rules and regulations on the job site, including those set forth in New York Labor Law Section 202, which is designed to protect the public and workers engaged in window cleaning or cleaning exterior surfaces of buildings from being hurt while working on scaffolds, ladders, and other temporary platforms from heights, which safety laws, if not properly followed, often result in worker or pedestrian physical injury, including catastrophic brain, neck, and spinal cord injuries, and unfortunately most of the time, when elevated above four stories, even death.
