Always seek medical attention as soon as possible after an accident. It is essential to keep all doctor’s orders and medical bills, regardless of whether you receive care from a primary care physician, an emergency room, or another healthcare provider.

The Bronx, New York, has extensive and complicated personal injury laws. Each personal injury case must be treated uniquely because they are all unique. An experienced lawyer knows how the legal system functions and how to approach your case. A Bronx construction accident attorney can also compile all required evidence, arrange it, and present it to the court.
The responsible parties can also be contacted and spoken with by your attorney. The at-fault parties may attempt to settle your case out of court.
Your lawyer can sit down with the other party, review their settlement offer, and assess whether it serves the purpose of fairly compensating you for your losses if this does not necessarily work in your favor.

Many different people and organizations might be held liable if you suffered injuries in a construction accident. A project may involve a general contractor, subcontractors, architects, engineers, the property owner, material suppliers, and more.
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) safety guidelines must be followed at construction sites. OSHA regulations apply to every aspect of the construction industry, including scaffolds, fall protection, the erection of steel structures, demolition, and ladders, to name a few.
An employer may be held liable for a construction accident if they violate any OSHA regulations or other widely accepted industry standards. An employer’s action, such as requiring exposure to dangerous chemicals, or omission, such as failing to carry out necessary job tasks and adequately train employees, could cause harm to a worker.
All parties involved may incur costs as a result of injuries. Construction accidents, even those that are not fatal, cost businesses millions annually. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, construction accident fatalities made up 47% of all fatal workplace injuries in 2018.
Most fatal falls in the United States (51 percent) occur in the construction industry. There is a one in 200 chance that a construction worker with a long career (roughly 45 years) will pass away in an accident at work.
