Construction Accidents and Workplace Injuries
In the bustling landscape of New York City, Pollack, Pollack, Isaac & DeCicco, LLP stands as a beacon of support for those affected by construction site mishaps. Our team fights to secure rightful compensation for workplace injuries.
Construction environments, ever-present across the city, harbor inherent dangers for both workers and passersby. When accidents occur due to someone else’s negligence, the repercussions can be overwhelming. We understand the gravity of these situations and extend our representation to both workers and pedestrians impacted by construction-related injuries.
Comprehensive Legal Assistance for Construction Site Injuries
Our seasoned attorneys specialize in assisting with a range of construction site incidents, including:
- Scaffolding Accidents – Scaffoldings, prone to collapse or falls, pose severe risks to workers and pedestrians. Our firm navigates New York’s Scaffolding Law, ensuring added protections and pursuing compensation when contractors fail to adhere to safety standards.
- Crane Accidents – From collapses to high winds or contact with power lines, crane accidents can result in grave injuries. We hold site managers accountable for neglecting safety protocols, seeking justice for injured workers.
- Falling Objects – Common yet hazardous, falling debris or objects pose substantial threats to workers and pedestrians. We advocate for strict enforcement of safety regulations to prevent injuries caused by falling materials.
For injured construction workers, seeking workers’ comp benefits is a right. While workers’ compensation often covers lost wages and medical expenses, severe injuries might necessitate additional legal action against responsible parties.
The foundation of the workplace agreement is simple: employees contribute to their employer’s success in exchange for a safe environment and fair compensation. New York legislation upholds this pact, boasting some of the nation’s strictest laws safeguarding workers’ rights. In high-risk construction sites, dangers lurk posing serious threats to workers. Recognizing these risks, our legal expertise delves deep into ensuring justice for those affected.
