Falling from a roof, scaffolding, falling from a ladder, or falling off of another type of structure during construction are accidents that are all too common. Falls account for a large number of construction accidents. When the fall involves the element of elevation, you may sustain life-threatening injuries that may entitle you to compensation for the losses you suffer.

In many construction accident cases, workers' compensation is also a factor. If you were injured on the job, you cannot seek damages against your direct employer, but may be able to pursue compensation if a party other than your employer was at fault for the accident. One example involves roadway flagmen and workmen. These individuals risk their lives to conduct traffic around road construction. In many instances, these people are struck by passing vehicles.

The personal injury claim would then be filed against the individual driving the vehicle that struck the flagperson and not against the employer. Road crews and pavers are also exposed to drivers that may not be as careful in a construction zone as they should be. Our firm is dedicated to standing up for your rights in order to seek the compensation you deserve and also have the public recognize what they can do to decrease the danger to construction workers on the road.

Our firm is also well versed in the New York labor laws, specifically sections 240 and 241. These statutes are fairly complex and our attorneys can help you understand how these laws may apply in your situation.
