Construction Accident
The construction industry is a very dangerous industry for trade workers who often put their life and safety on the line when they go to work and risk construction accidents. In large cities such as New York City where new high rises are constructed on a weekly basis, developers, business ventures, owners, general contractors and sub contractors often place the bottom line ahead of worker safety. Most recently on September 1, 2016, we saw what can happen when owners and general contractors put money above safety. Two workers were severely injured when an “I” beam fell from the floor above where they were working and struck them. One workers leg was severely fractured and another worker fell through the floor onto the floor below suffering significant personal injuries. Click here to see the story.
A construction accident is often times a catastrophic accident for the victim and their family. The heavy machinery and dangerous conditions can be complicated by the failure of the contractor and subcontractors to follow safety protocol. The laws in this area are complex and increases the importance of speaking to an attorney experienced in these matters.
