New York Labor Law

New York State's Labor Law

New York State has a statute that provides special legal protection to workers while working at heights. Two reasons for this are (1) the severity of the injuries that result from elevated falls, and (2) construction workers rely on the project owner, general contractor, construction/project manager, etc. to provide a safe working environment. They are primary responsibility to make sure that the elevated work location is safe.

New York Unsafe Equipment Injuries

Rochester | Long Island | Manhattan | Buffalo

If you are injured while using defective or unsafe equipment, you may be entitled to compensation beyond your workers' compensation benefits. Most accidents involving unsafe equipment are caused by a failure to maintain the equipment in good condition. In all cases, it is the responsibility of the owner of the equipment to maintain it properly

Additionally, at construction sites where heavy machinery and equipment is prevalent, workers are more frequently exposed to unsafe equipment and thus are at a high risk for injury.

Electrocution Accidents | Rochester | Long Island | Manhattan | Buffalo

Families are sometimes devastated by electrical accidents that take place in the presence of high-voltage electricity found in their neighborhoods or around construction sites. When a person is exposed to high voltage electricity, it can result in death or permanent disability.

Power companies, construction companies and building owners are required to follow strict rules and safety standards. When these rules are not obeyed, catastrophic injuries can result.

Although a construction site is a dangerous place by nature, potential accidents are difficult to predict. Falling objects at a construction site are one of these dangers. Unfortunately, even the impact of a small tool can cause severe head and brain injuries as well as wrongful death. Ceiling collapses or loose tiles are also a danger and source of potential falling objects. Falling object injuries can range from mild to disabling. In some instances, a ceiling collapse can result in death.
