Construction Accident Lawyer: Protecting Your Legal Rights

Construction is considered one of the most dangerous industries in the United States, and New York City mirrors the same. With the many construction activities, from high-rise developments to road construction, a construction worker comes with the risk of serious injuries daily. If you or someone you know has been injured on site, you need to know your rights and how a Construction Accident Lawyer NYC can help.

The Need for a Construction Accident Lawyer in NYC

A construction accident defendant often finds himself or herself facing the daunting task of recovery, which may entail physical, emotional, and financial hurdles. Medical expenses accrue rapidly, while one’s presence in the workplace may be absent for weeks or months. In such crucial times, hiring a New York City construction accident lawyer ensures that one is protected from further injury and compensated fairly.

Most injured workers do not understand that they can file a third-party personal injury claim in addition to their workers’ compensation claim. This involves an injury lawsuit against a general contractor, a property owner, or even an equipment manufacturer whose negligence contributed to the injury. A Construction Accident Attorney New York knows how to investigate the incident, compile evidence, and put up a great case on your behalf.

Typical Causes of Construction Accidents

Indeed, most construction sites are hazardous and create an environment prone to accidents. But many of these accidents can be avoided: There are many common causes:

  • Falls from scaffolding, ladders, or roofs
  • Being struck by a falling object
  • Electrocutions
  • Equipment malfunction
  • Exposure to hazardous materials
  • Unsafe working conditions or lack of proper safety training

Most of these things happen due to negligence or non-compliance with safety standards. A qualified construction accident attorney New York will be able to identify the parties liable and hold them accountable.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

According to the particulars of a unique case, it can recognize the following:

  • Medical expenses: It includes future medical care as well.
  • Loss of wages and earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Therapeutic and rehabilitation expenses
  • Benefits for a wrongful death (in the case of fatal accidents)
