Work on construction sites involves a wide range of hazardous tasks and conditions.

Work on construction sites involves a wide range of hazardous tasks and conditions. Even though property owners, general contractors and sub-contractors follow a multitude of state and federal safety regulations, there is a high incidence of catastrophic injury and death in construction. According to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, construction employs 8% of workers in the U.S. yet has 22% of the fatalities in the workforce, which is more than any other industry sector.

If you are injured in a construction site accident, worker’s compensation typically is one source of help, however, it important to consult with an attorney who understands New York construction, scaffolding and labor laws. Liability may fall to owners, contractors, sub-contractors or third parties, depending on the circumstance that led to your injuries.
