New York City Construction Accident Lawyer
Construction accident injuries can be just as devastating as any other type of injury, if not more severe due to the types of jobs that exist in today's society. However, since the laws are constantly changing, pursuing a case on your own is becoming increasingly difficult. Let the law firm of Tolmage, Peskin, Harris & Falick work on your behalf to get the money damages and respect you deserve for your losses.
Construction sites are treated differently by the laws in New York. Though you cannot sue your direct employer due to worker's compensation involvement, you may have a case against the property and land owners, subcontractors, and contractors involved with your construction site. This is called a third party lawsuit.
- For example, if you had fallen from a substantial height and were injured, you may be able to sue the scaffolding company.
- This also applies to any defective equipment you may have been supplied with.
You must be provided with a safe work area. However, what you believe to be a safe work area may not necessarily be legally sufficient. Our principal attorney Stephan H. Peskin can assess your case and help determine the possible outcomes for your case. He has over 35 years of experience that assists him in guiding you down the correct path that suits your unique requirements.
If you are in the construction, demolition, excavation, or renovation business, and have been injured at work, you may be entitled to compensation from third parties for your loss. Our attorneys and staff only handle third party lawsuits, not worker's compensation claims. We also proudly handle matters related to labor law issues.
