Construction Injury Attorney — New York

Advocating for Injured Construction Workers Throughout New York City, White Plains and Westchester

Oftentimes, workers’ compensation isn’t enough. Construction workers injured on a job site may be able to explore additional avenues of compensation and we’re often contacted by workers’ compensation attorneys to help determine which of these avenues may be viable.

Third-Party Liability From Construction Operators

Usually, the first path after a severe construction or industrial accident is through filing a claim with the workers’ compensation insurance system. While a successful claim can assist with paying for medical costs and lost wages, what the system pays out is often not enough. One potential option for additional compensation is by filing a third-party personal injury lawsuit in an attempt to hold those entities who may have caused the injury responsible.

Capable in a Range of Industrial Situations

We handle serious industrial accidents resulting from unsafe job sites or equipment & industrial negligence, including crane, bobcat, forklift, and skid steer loader accidents; scaffolding collapses, trench collapses, structural failures, roof-related falls, and falling debris; electrocution; and boiler and propane fires and explosions.

Proven Process & Representation

Whether the case goes to trial or is negotiated out of court, we consult distinguished experts in the field, assemble documentation and evidence, and conduct a thorough investigation to determine potential routes to compensation and what those damages may look like. We only take on on a small number of cases each year, so we can devote the time and resources necessary to achieve the best results.
