Unsafe Building Lawyers - Construction Sites
in Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Nassau County, and Suffolk County
Construction sites are hazardous places to work, especially in an unsafe building. Although workers at construction sites usually conduct themselves in a safe manner, thousands of construction workers are either injured or killed in construction site accidents each year.
The many hazards at construction site can cause devastating injuries from heavy equipment, falls, electrical lines, power tools, unsafe scaffolding, etc. Construction sites are busy and often unsupervised or poorly coordinated.
In the State of New York there are special laws that protect workers by establishing a duty to the owner or general contractor to maintain a safe place to work. Section 200 of the New York State Labor Law requires that the place where a person works "be so constructed, equipped, arranged, operated and conducted as to provide reasonable and adequate protection to the lives, health and safety of all persons employed there in or lawfully frequenting such places."
Silberstein, Awad & Miklos has a long history of applying these special laws for the benefit of our clients in litigation and in obtaining full and fair compensation for the injuries and damages incurred. Our clients have benefitted greatly from our experience in construction site injuries, and you can too.
Our firm has twenty years of experience representing construction workers who have received serious injuries while working at a construction site or on the repair of a building. These injuries are even more devastating when the injured party is a working parent or spouse. We have been successful in obtaining financial security for that person and his/her family including electricians, carpenters and various other craftsmen and laborers.
Because of the usual severity of a construction site injury, settlements can be for hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in compensation.
An unsafe building lawyer experienced in representing injured workers is vital to obtaining full and just compensation. The interpretation of the State of New York's Labor Law has been delegated to the Appellate Courts. This is a dynamic area of the law. Because complex interpretations of the law may affect the outcome of your case, you should have the benefit of a lawyer experienced in this field, who is experienced and knowledgeable about how to properly investigate an accident, as well as one with experience in trying cases to a verdict. In choosing a lawyer, be sure to ask about the firm's experience in Appellate representation in this area.
