If you are injured doing construction work, it is crucial that you consult a lawyer who knows the special laws that apply to construction accidents. The special laws exist to help construction workers recover full compensation when they are injured. The special laws are known as the “Labor Law” and the “Industrial Code.” They can apply to accidents involving scaffolds, ladders, falls from a height or falls involving debris left in the work area and other dangerous situations.

Do not make the mistake of confusing Workers’ Compensation with your right to bring a lawsuit. Even if you are entitled to Workers’ Compensation benefits you may still be able to bring a case in court against the owner, general contractor or other companies involved in the job where you were injured.
Construction work is hazardous. No matter what their trade, whether they are carpenters, masons, steelworkers, electricians or roofers, construction workers are exposed to danger. Often the work involves great heights and the use of scaffolds, ladders, scissor lifts, cranes and cherry pickers. The work also often requires the use of powerful, and potentially dangerous, tools like compressors, nail guns, electric saws and jack hammers.
When construction workers are injured, their injuries can be complex, catastrophic and life changing, leaving them permanently or partially disabled from work. Unless a successful lawsuit obtains full compensation, the workers’ families can be devastated by their loved one’s injuries. Mortgages can go unpaid and children’s college dreams may be deferred.
