Our construction accident injury lawyers will:
- Investigate the cause of the accident
- Review site safety records and compliance with laws
- Gather medical records and expert testimony
- Identify all liable parties
- Manage negotiations with insurers

New York City Construction Accident Injury Lawyer FAQ
Liability may include property owners, general contractors, subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, or others whose negligence contributed to unsafe conditions.
Under New York’s Scaffold Law, property owners and contractors can be held fully liable for gravity-related injuries if proper safety equipment was not provided.
Yes. If someone other than your employer — such as a contractor or equipment manufacturer — was negligent, you may pursue a personal injury lawsuit in addition to workers’ compensation benefits.
Generally, you have three years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Injuries involving government sites may have additional deadlines.
Seek medical care right away, document the scene if safe to do so, report the injury to supervisors, and contact a lawyer before giving statements to insurers.
If you have additional questions about your claim, our team can answer them when we meet with you.
