Construction Site Accidents
The construction industry is one of the largest in New York. Commercial and residential building, demolition, renovation and restoration, highway and infrastructure construction and maintenance keep workers busy in communities across Long Island.
Work on Construction Sites
Work on construction sites involves a wide range of hazardous tasks and conditions. Even though property owners, general contractors and sub-contractors follow a multitude of state and federal safety regulations, there is a high incidence of injury and/or death.
According to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, construction employs 8% of workers in the U.S. and has 22% of the fatalities in the workforce, which is more than any other industry sector.
If you are injured in a construction site accident, workers’ compensation typically is one source of help. However, it is important to consult with an attorney who understands New York construction, scaffolding and labor laws. Liability may fall to owners, contractors, sub-contractors or third parties, depending on the circumstance that led to your injuries.
It’s important that you speak to an attorney who understands construction site accident cases as soon as possible following an injury in order to protect your legal rights. Contact Rudolph F.X. Migliore, P.C. for a no-cost, no obligation free case review at 631-543-3663.
