Third-Party Liability Claims

Third-Party Liability Claims After A Construction Accident

Construction workers, including electricians, carpenters, sheet-metal workers, roofers, and many others, are subject to enhanced risks during their everyday work. Given the nature of the occupation, when an on-the-job accident occurs, these workers are frequently subject to catastrophic injuries and even fatalities.

At the New York City law office of Arye, Lustig & Sassower, P.C., we have helped injured workers obtain the compensation they deserve for their work-related injuries for decades. One of the most rewarding components of our work is the referrals from past clients who have told their family, friends, and co-workers of the positive results we achieved for them.

You May Be Entitled To More Than Workers' Comp

Under the workers' compensation system, most injured workers are barred from filing negligence claims against their employer for injuries suffered on the job. In exchange, their employer provides workers' compensation insurance to cover medical expenses and partial wage loss.

However, workers' compensation benefits may be inadequate when a worksite accident results in catastrophic injury or fatality. They may be exhausted quickly, leaving injured workers and their families with ongoing financial problems related to the injury.

At Arye, Lustig & Sassower, P.C., we have in-depth knowledge of the additional avenues of liability that frequently are available in cases involving construction accidents and other job site accidents. Third-party liability claims may be pursued against parties other than the employer responsible for the accident and injuries.

Third-Party Liability — In Addition To Workers' Comp Claims

The construction accident lawyers at Arye, Lustig & Sassower, P.C., are dedicated to making a difference for clients injured in a construction accident, electrical accident, fall from heights, or other severe worksite accident.

When a client already receives workers' compensation benefits, we identify opportunities to maximize their compensation by exposing the negligence of third parties who may be held financially responsible. Some potential avenues of third-party liability may involve:

• Owners of job sites, general contractors, and construction managers
• Negligent subcontractors, material suppliers, or other individuals at the job site
• Parties responsible for defective or dangerous machinery, tools, equipment, or products (manufacturers, engineers, distributors)
• Owners of scaffolding that collapsed or fell
• Other third-party individuals or businesses

By examining all possible sources of liability, our personal injury attorneys alleviate the financial impact of medical bills, pain and suffering, income loss, ongoing treatment, and other damages associated with our client's injuries.
