Construction sites
challenge workers in many trades with a daily,
dangerous work environment that often results in
serious injury.
Injury statistics to
workers range from falling, or tripping, to hazardous
conditions, to toxic product exposure on job sites.
State Law, within the
Labor Law Provisions, provide worker protection by
making building owners and general contractors
absolutely liable for work site safety in using
ladders and scaffolds guarding against injuries from
falling objects, construction debris, tripping hazards
and floor openings.
Injured parties
should realize that, in addition to a Worker’s
Compensation Claim, a “Third-Party Action” may be
available to them for financial recovery for their
pain and suffering, if some party, other than your
employer, caused the accident. Every construction
injury should be analyzed by an attorney to ensure all
worker’s remedy for injury are made available.
