Construction Accidents
Construction workers often have to use scaffolding in order to perform their work. When a worker falls from scaffolding, or when scaffolding collapses, it can cause them life-altering injuries, such as head injuries, spinal cord injuries, and broken bones. New York has a special law designed to protect workers who are injured while on scaffolds to help them pay for medical bills, lost earnings, pain and suffering and other expenses. That law, Labor Law Section 240, requires owners of buildings and general contractors to provide proper safety protection for all on site workers.
If you believe that you are a victim of a construction/scaffold accident in the New York Area, you should contact an experienced construction lawyer as soon as possible.
