Construction accidents in Mineola are unfortunately common due to the high volume of ongoing commercial and residential development in the area. From scaffold collapses to falls, electrical injuries, and equipment malfunctions, the dangers on a construction site are ever-present. When an accident occurs, workers often suffer serious and life-altering injuries, and the path to recovery—both medical and financial—can be complex. New York State has specific laws in place to protect construction workers and understanding how those laws apply in each case is critical. That’s where experienced and local legal counsel becomes essential. That’s where Weber & Prakope, PLLC proves to be an invaluable resource.
New York’s Labor Laws 200, 240, and 241(6) provide broad protections for workers injured on construction sites. Labor Law § 200 is a general duty provision requiring owners and contractors to maintain a safe work environment. Labor Law § 240, also known as the “Scaffold Law,” holds property owners and contractors strictly liable for injuries caused by falls from heights or falling objects. Labor Law § 241(6) requires compliance with New York’s Industrial Code regulations, making it possible to hold parties accountable for specific safety violations. These laws are powerful tools in helping injured workers recover damages but navigating them requires precision and experience.
