Construction Accidents
New York State Laws recognize the rights of those that build, repair, restore, and modernize the buildings, roads, homes, schools, trains, utilities, escalators, elevators, and the general infrastructure of our city. These rights are recognized in labor laws that protect those injured during construction.
In some situations these laws even set a standard of absolute liability. New York's labor laws also provide important protection that is required for our workers who work from elevated height. Also, these labor laws mandate that the industrial code is strictly enforced and followed to best ensure the safety of workers. If you feel you've been injured as a result of a violation of any of these laws, fill out the contact form on this page and one of our experienced New York construction accident lawyers will contact you.
