At our firm – serving the New York City metropolitan area, including Manhattan – a construction accident lawyer can review your case and determine the best way to proceed with your claim.

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.

Falls from Ladders

Ladders are ever-present at construction sites and industrial locations, 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 backward
  • Metal ladders can pose an electrocution risk to users in situations where an electrical current is present

Our New York City construction fall accident lawyers 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.
