Construction Debris Accidents

Common Types Of Construction Site Injuries

Construction is consistently ranked as one of the most dangerous occupations in New York City. Construction workers put themselves at risk of serious injury every time they walk onto a job site, frequently putting their lives on the line to get the job done. It is the contractor's responsibility to take every necessary precaution to ensure the safety of construction workers. Workers can suffer severe injuries when that responsibility is not met, and accidents happen.

Some Causes Of Construction Site Debris Accidents

Our lawyers are skilled at handling severe personal injury and wrongful death cases arising from all types of construction debris accidents, such as accidents involving:

• Falling tools or construction debris that causes head injury or fatal injury
• Slip and falls due to spilled substances or slippery walkways.
• Trips and falls involving debris left by construction crews
• Flying debris caused by cranes striking buildings unexpectedly
• Other construction site debris accidents

Demonstrated Success In Construction Accident Litigation

Most electricians, carpenters, sheet-metal workers, roofers, plumbers, and other construction workers are aware of the workers' compensation benefits they may collect when injured on the job.

However, many people must be aware of the additional compensation available. Third-party liability litigation can be pursued against owners, contractors, subcontractors, and other parties who are not the injured worker's employer. Our efforts have yielded millions of dollars for members of the construction trades in personal injury and wrongful death litigation arising from construction debris accidents:

• $2.5 million settlement in a construction accident case involving an electrician who tripped over debris when working on a narrow catwalk in a subway tunnel and suffered severe injuries
• $2 million settlement for a seriously injured electrician who tripped and fell on "stub-ups" (remnants of old conduits) at the bottom of the stairway
• $1.05 million settlement in a construction accident involving an electrician who tripped on debris while on property that was under construction

Our attorneys have access to an extensive network of experts to demonstrate the cause of the accident and the value of complex claims. We have alleviated the financial strain caused by head and brain injuries, herniated disks, back injuries, neck injuries, shoulder injuries, knee injuries, fractures, spinal cord injuries, and other construction accident injuries. We also handle wrongful death lawsuits from a fatal construction site debris accident.
