New York City Construction Accident Injury Lawyer

A construction site is one of the most dangerous work environments. High scaffolding and dangerous equipment create an atmosphere where there is great potential for falls, crush injuries, and other serious harm. In New York City, a great deal of construction is going on at any given time. If you have suffered a work injury on a construction site, you need a personal injury lawyer who can help you get the care and recovery you need.

At the law office of Goldberg Sager & Associates in New York City, we provide attentive and responsive support while advocating aggressively for our injured clients and their families. If negligence or failure to comply with safety regulations caused you or a loved one to suffer a serious work injury, contact us today. We can help.

New York has special laws governing work injuries that take place on construction sites. Labor Law sections 240 and 241 are known as the "safe place to work" or "scaffold" laws. They state that if a construction worker suffers a scaffolding injury or an injury due to a falling object on the site, the contractor is responsible for the damages.

We handle third-party actions against outside contractors or subcontractors and their agents, as well as other parties related to the construction site who may be at fault for the accident. Our lawyers will perform a thorough investigation into the facts of your case to determine the liable party or parties and exhaust all legal options available to reach a settlement or verdict for you.

If you have suffered an injury due to a construction accident, we understand your worries and concerns. How will your family be supported? How will you get the care you need? We will deal with the insurance issues and take every step necessary to help you reclaim and rebuild your life after your accident. Although we attempt to settle cases without the need for litigation, our skilled trial lawyers will advocate relentlessly on your behalf in court if necessary.
