Failure To Provide Proper Safety Protection

Injuries Resulting From Improper Safety Protection

The physical risks involved in construction are well-known to everyone in the industry. In New York City, construction workers work hundreds of feet in the air.
Anyone working at a great or even lesser height faces possible death or disability from a fall. In addition, people working on the ground below face an injury risk due to falling objects.
New York law requires property owners and general contractors to provide proper safety equipment to workers. This equipment can include safety belts, harnesses, lanyards, and other equipment necessary to ensure safety. Further, scaffolds, ladders, and other equipment must be properly working.

A lawyer can hold these parties accountable when someone is injured or killed due to a general contractor or owner’s failure.
