Scaffolding Accidents
Scaffolding can pose a serious risk to construction workers. Scaffolding is a temporary structure that is often erected with little planning in a short amount of time. As such, the risk of collapse or of people or objects falling from heights is real and must be taken seriously. If you are a construction worker who has been injured in a construction accident, either as a result of a fall or being struck by a falling object, you may be entitled to compensation for your suffering. Under the New York Labor Law Sections 240 and 241, also known as the Scaffold Laws, a construction worker or other industrial worker who is injured in a scaffolding accident may be eligible to file a claim against the property owner and on-site contractor for damages. If you have been injured in a scaffolding accident in New York, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx, a construction accident lawyer from our firm can help.
Window Washing Accidents
Washing the exterior windows of a high-rise building can be extremely dangerous, even with proper equipment and training. Faulty equipment or hazardous weather conditions can place window washers in extreme jeopardy. If you are a window washer who has been injured on the job, you may be entitled to file a personal injury claim or a workers' compensation claim for compensation, including compensation to cover the costs of medical expenses and lost wages, as well as pain and suffering.
If someone you love has suffered a catastrophic injury or has been killed in a window washing accident, you have legal rights to be evaluated. Our team of attorneys and staff members is committed to helping victims and their families in tumultuous times. At Levine and Slavit, we understand how difficult the loss of a loved one can be, and we can assist your family in filing a wrongful death claim in order to pursue justice and help you obtain the compensation you deserve. In the event of a loved one's death, your family may be entitled to compensation for medical and funerary costs, loss of income (including future income), pain and suffering, and a loss of companionship.
Falls from Ladders
Ladders are ever-present at construction sites and industrial locations throughout the country, and though they may appear innocuous, ladders have inherent risks. Some common causes of ladder accidents include:
- Ladders that have structural defects or structural fatigue can break with use
- The base of the ladder can slip while in use, resulting in a collapse
- A ladder can become unstable with the user on it and fall to the side or backwards
- Metal ladders can pose an electrocution risk to users in situations where an electrical current is present
At our New York law office, serving Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx, a construction accident lawyer can provide legal assistance if you have suffered an injury in a ladder accident. We can help you obtain workers' compensation for your injuries and will work tirelessly to protect your legal rights.
