Falling Objects

Helping Workers Struck By Falling Debris

The effects of falling objects in an office setting are often inconsequential. But if your workplace is a construction site, a falling thing as small as a bolt can cause severe injury and even death.
For over half a century, the attorneys at Arye, Lustig & Sassower, P.C., in New York City, have been helping clients and their families injured by falling debris. We've helped them mainly by recovering all the compensation they are entitled to under the law.

Holding Negligent Parties Accountable Since 1965

We are committed to holding owners, contractors, and subcontractors responsible for safety lapses that result in workers being injured by falling objects and construction site debris.

Going Beyond Workers' Compensation To Locate All Sources Of Recovery

While most workers know they can receive workers' compensation for injuries caused by falling objects, many do not know that they may be able to pursue litigation against an owner, contractor, or subcontractor who is not their employer. This is called a third-party claim. We have successfully pursued numerous third-party claims involving injuries caused by falling objects. Some of the things that commonly cause serious injuries include:

• Tools such as hammers, sledgehammers, and power tools
• Bricks and cinder blocks
• Metal fittings and pieces of metal railings
• Rebar or other metal bars
• Pieces of metal, sheet metal, and ductwork
• Support beams
• Wires or cables
