Crane malfunctions, forklift mishaps, and other machinery accidents can cause severe injuries. We ensure those responsible for safety protocols are held to account.

Ladder Accidents
Falls from ladders often result from poor maintenance, improper use, or lack of safety training. We fight to obtain compensation for workers injured due to negligence.

Roadway Construction Accidents
Road construction zones expose workers to vehicle collisions and equipment accidents. We advocate for injured workers and their families to recover damages for these unique dangers.

Scaffold Law: Falling Workers or Falling Objects
Under New York’s Scaffold Law (Labor Law § 240), employers and property owners are strictly liable for injuries from falls or falling objects on construction sites. As a leading New York Scaffold Law attorney, we have a deep understanding of this law and ensure our clients receive the full protections it offers. Workers injured under this law can rely on our expertise to secure the compensation they deserve.
