Specific guidelines govern vertical passage and how it should be provided on New York City construction sites. Vertical passage refers to those mechanisms or structures that allow workers to move from one level of a construction site to another. When adequate vertical passage is not provided, it can put workers' safety at considerable risk.
At the law firm of Arye, Lustig & Sassower, P.C., we have experience handling a broad range of cases involving failure to provide adequate vertical passage. Our NYC construction injury attorneys have a vast understanding of construction law and are committed to securing the justice you deserve when contractors fail to prioritize worker safety. We handle cases throughout Greater New York.
We can represent clients in many cases involving unlawful or hazardous vertical passage, including inadequate ladders, makeshift ramps, and failure to provide any type of vertical passage.
We go beyond seeking compensation for the injuries and losses suffered by our clients. Our attorneys work to change the practices of contractors who commit these infractions and do our part to ensure that adequate and lawful vertical passage is provided for the safety and welfare of every construction worker.
Contact our Manhattan office to discuss your case if you or a loved one has been injured due to a contractor's failure to provide adequate vertical passage. We offer a free initial consultation. We accept all cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you will not pay attorney's fees unless we are successful.
