What are the dangers at your worksite?

While any workspace — even offices and retail stores — can present dangers, some places are inherently more dangerous than others. Construction sites, factories, and warehouses offer the greatest opportunity for accidents and severe injuries. Power tools, scaffolding, conveyor belts, working from heights, heavy machinery, cranes, electrical wires, forklifts, and trucks can be accidents waiting to happen.

At the Brooklyn worker’s compensation and personal injury law firm of Bisogno & Meyerson, LLP, we are committed to protecting the rights of injured workers — never more than when helping those who manufacture the goods and build the structures that have made New York one of the most famous places in the world.

The most common worksite injuries can also be the most catastrophic “Every day in America, 13 people go to work and never come home. Every year in America, nearly 4 million people suffer a workplace injury from which some may never recover. These are preventable tragedies that disable our workers, devastate our families, and damage our economy. American workers are not looking for a handout or a free lunch. They are looking for a good day’s pay for a hard day’s work. They just want to go to work, provide for their families, and get home in one piece.”
