For more than 50 years, our attorneys have advocated for injured construction workers' rights. This is a prominent part of our practice.
Our New York City construction site accident lawyers are dedicated to fighting to help injured construction workers and their families recover the compensation they need in the aftermath of a devastating construction accident injury or wrongful death.

You Are Not Limited To Claiming Only Workers' Comp

Most construction workers understand that when they suffer an injury in some work-related accident — whether it be an equipment-related accident, a trip-and-fall accident, or an accident involving falling construction debris — they can collect workers' compensation benefits to cover lost wages, medical expenses, and other expenses related to their construction accident injury.
However, what many people do not realize is that although negligence claims cannot be brought against an employer following a work-related accident, claims can be brought against other negligent parties who caused or contributed to the construction site accident:

• Owners of job sites, general contractors, and construction managers
• Owners of defective machinery or scaffolding
• Subcontractors who negligently operated a forklift or crane
• Contractors or subcontractors who failed to adhere to safety requirements
• Subcontractors responsible for falling objects, such as screws, pieces of sheet metal, or other construction debris
• Other individuals or third parties responsible for construction accidents

Any negligence on a construction site can amount to life-altering injuries and even death. Our attorneys at Arye, Lustig & Sassower, P.C. meticulously investigate the accident and identify negligence and third-party liability claims to maximize each client's financial recovery.

We have helped electricians, carpenters, sheet-metal workers, and other members of the construction trades who have suffered career-ending injuries due to the negligence of others, including owners of job sites, contractors, subcontractors, and other negligent parties responsible for construction site accidents.
