CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENT CASES – LABOR LAW CASES
The nature of construction work makes it one of the most productive industries in the country. It also makes it one of the most dangerous for the workers who engage in this profession. Construction workers are constantly thrust into inherently dangerous conditions, where one wrong move could lead to life-threatening injuries, permanent and significant disabilities and irreversible damages.
These brave workers are protected in New York by industrial codes that set commands for general contractors and property owners to follow. When these commands are not followed, accidents and serious injuries are likely to occur. Some of the most common types of construction accidents that occur are:
- Workers who Fall from an Elevation
- Falling Objects or Falling Equipment
- Scaffolding Accidents
- Electrocutions
- Crane Accidents or Heavy Machinery Accidents
- Improper Ventilation
- Misuses of Equipment or Tool Misuses
The Labor Law attorneys at Weber & Prakope, PLLC, enforce industrial code protections and worksite safety by helping injured construction workers prosecute claims under Labor Law §§240, 241(6) and 200.
