Painters play a vital role in completing nearly every construction project. Anytime a commercial building is built, someone must paint the inside. In New York City, it is expected to see painters working on bridges.
Most painters spend much of their day working on scaffolds or ladders from a few feet off the ground to over a hundred feet above it. The risks associated with a fall from such a great height are apparent. Even falls from a few feet can cause serious injuries, however.
In New York, the law recognizes the many risks for painters and construction workers working on scaffolds and ladders. It provides special legal protection for injured workers while working at a height. Consequently, people injured in these jobs, such as painters, often have additional legal remedies besides workers' compensation.
If you are a painter and were injured in a work-related accident, it is critical to consult with knowledgeable legal counsel about your injuries.
