New York Work Injury Attorneys
Have you been injured in a construction site accident? You may have been told by a boss or co-worker that workers' compensation is your only available means of recovery. That may not be true.
New York law allows workers to file a personal injury lawsuit in certain situations. One such situation is when a worker is injured in a construction site accident where a commercial property owner fails to provide appropriate scaffolding or safety equipment. New York Labor Code Section 240 states in relevant part:
All contractors and owners and their agents, except owners of one and two-family dwellings ... shall furnish or erect, or cause to be furnished or erected for the performance of such labor, scaffolding, hoists, stays, ladders, slings, hangers, blocks, pulleys, braces, irons, ropes, and other devices which shall be so constructed, placed and operated as to give proper protection to a person so employed.
