Contractors and trades people are put in dangerous and hazardous situations on a daily basis.  Some injuries may have catastrophic consequences.  Call us for a free consultation in order to analyze the injured party’s claim, including any potential Workers Compensation Benefits that may be available.

Construction accidents can be serious and even life-threatening. New York has specific laws and regulations to protect workers who are injured on construction sites. If you have been injured in a construction accident, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits.

Workers' compensation is a system that provides benefits to employees who are injured on the job. Under New York law, most employers are required to carry workers' compensation insurance, which covers medical expenses, lost wages, and other benefits for workers who are injured or become ill as a result of their work.

In the case of construction accidents, workers' compensation benefits are typically available regardless of who was at fault for the accident. This means that even if the accident was caused by the worker's own mistake or negligence, they may still be entitled to workers' compensation benefits.

However, workers' compensation benefits may not cover all of the losses that a worker may experience as a result of a construction accident. In some cases, it may be possible to pursue a personal injury claim against a third party, such as a contractor or equipment manufacturer, to seek additional compensation for damages such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of future earning capacity.

If you have been injured in a construction accident, it is important to contact an experienced attorney who can help you navigate the workers' compensation system and explore all of your legal options for pursuing compensation.
