Subway Track Fall and Injury

Construction workers continue to have the most work-related injuries and fatalities in the nation. Under state labor laws, construction companies must inspect every job site for compliance with safety regulations.

If you suffered injuries in an accident on a construction site, you may have a claim against the property owner, the project owner and the general contractor. Other parties may also be responsible, including architects, subcontractors and equipment manufacturers. Our accident attorney handles many types of construction accident claims, including:

• Scaffolding and ladder falls
• Moving equipment injuries
• Crane mishandling
• Fire and explosion burns
• Welding and cutting injuries
• Structure failure
• Building collapse
• Falling objects injuries
• Power tool malfunctions
• Electrical shocks

What should I know when I choose a construction accident lawyer?

Durga Bhurtel, Esq.

When you select an attorney to handle your construction accident claim, you need a knowledgeable lawyer who understands the details of the labor laws in New York. Our attorney in Queens has the experience to pursue all parties involved in your accident, so you can receive full compensation for your personal injury.

Workers’ compensation laws affect only the recovery that you can receive from your employer. If other parties are responsible for your injuries, such as subcontractors or equipment manufacturers, you may be able to recover damages from them.

How long does it take to resolve a construction accident claim in New York?

Many construction accident claims settle out of court within a few months. We negotiate your settlement with the negligent parties and their insurance companies. When you receive your payment, you sign documents releasing the defendants from any further liability relating to the accident that injured you.

In some cases, the defendants and their insurance companies won’t agree to a reasonable settlement, so we need to go to trial to get the recovery you deserve. If a trial is necessary, our attorneys guide you throughout the litigation process.
