Injured on the Job Site? We Know What to Do.

Construction is dangerous work—and when employers or property owners cut corners, serious injuries can happen. If you were injured on a job site in New York City or the Greater Hudson Valley, we’ll help you understand your rights and fight for full compensation, beyond what workers’ comp alone might provide.

Common Construction Accident Cases

We handle cases involving:

  • Falls from ladders, scaffolding, or rooftops
  • Struck-by or falling object injuries
  • Electrical injuries and unsafe equipment
  • Collapses, trench failures, or debris hazards
  • Violations of NY Labor Law §§ 200, 240 (Scaffold Law), and 241(6)

These cases often involve third-party liability—meaning someone other than your employer may be responsible. We investigate thoroughly to identify every path to recovery.

Who We Represent

We’re familiar with how these accidents happen and how contractors, developers, and site managers try to avoid responsibility. We don’t let that stand.



Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I sue if I’m already getting workers’ comp?

    Maybe. Workers’ comp covers basic medical bills and lost wages—but if someone besides your employer caused the accident (like a subcontractor or property owner), you may have a separate personal injury claim too.

  • What is the “Scaffold Law” in New York?

    Labor Law § 240 protects workers injured in height-related accidents. It often holds owners and contractors strictly liable—meaning they can’t blame the worker if safety equipment was missing or defective.

  • Do I need to be union to have a case?

    No. Your legal rights don’t depend on union status. We represent all construction workers—union or not.

  • What if I don’t have legal status in the U.S.?

    You still have the right to bring an injury claim in New York. Immigration status does not affect your right to be compensated for workplace injuries.
