NYC Construction Accident Law Firm
Working on scaffolding is a fact of life for people who work in construction. When scaffolding is properly constructed, and when workers are provided with appropriate safety equipment, there are very few problems. Of course, accidents do happen. In many cases, these accidents are caused by unsecured or improperly erected scaffolding, inappropriate or defective safety equipment, or other flaws.
Scaffolding accidents can lead to spinal cord injuries, brain injuries or other disabling injuries. In short, these types of injuries can prevent you from ever working again. Your attorney must have the experience, skill and resources to help you recover the financial compensation that will support you and your family for the rest of your expected lifetime.
At Rosenberg, Minc, Falkoff & Wolff LLP, we know just how high the stakes are. Our New York scaffolding accident lawyers will work tirelessly to see that you are compensated fairly for your damages. Below is but one example of our work.
Our client was a construction worker on a framing crew. While working on a scaffold in Southampton, Long Island, the scaffolding plank broke, sending him crashing to a floor below. Our client suffered several fractures and required surgery. Our legal team fought hard for our client. As part of the case, we even appealed a wrongful decision in the case. Our efforts resulted in an award of $2 million for our client's injuries.
New York law gives workers injured in scaffolding accidents the right to bring claims against the building owner and contractor. This law, known as Labor Law 240, applies in most, although not all scaffolding and ladder construction accidents. This law gives workers who were injured in scaffolding or ladder accidents an avenue for full compensation. We understand how to use all applicable laws to build the strongest possible case for our clients.
