How Weber & Prakope, PLLC Can Help Workers Injured in Construction Accidents Involving a Fall from Elevation in New York
Construction workers face a variety of risks every day, and one of the most dangerous is the potential for a fall from elevation. In New York, falls from height are particularly significant due to Labor Law §240, also known as the “Scaffold Law,” which provides protections for workers injured in these types of accidents. Weber & Prakope, PLLC, a law firm specializing in construction accident cases, can play a vital role in helping injured workers navigate the complexities of these legal claims and secure the compensation they deserve.
Labor Law §240 specifically holds contractors and property owners accountable for providing safe scaffolding, ladders, and other fall protection systems for workers working at height.
