New City OSHA Violation Attorney
An injury on the job is distressing for multiple reasons. Many injured workers are afraid to report the accident. You may also be worried about your ability to return to work. If the injury results in a permanent disability, how will you provide for yourself and your family?
I can help. My name is Reuven J. Epstein, and I represent New York workers injured on construction sites. In addition to workers' compensation, you may be able to recover damages if your employer violated labor law statutes. There may be third-party liability from defective equipment or a sub-contractor. If this applies to your accident, we will seek compensation from the negligent party as well. For a free consultation, please call 845-694-4522 or contact me online.
A Dangerous Industry
Construction workers are at constant risk for serious injury and death. The nature of the work, the equipment used, elevated heights and exposure to gas and power lines are just some of the reasons workers are in danger. Some of the most common causes of accidents include:
- Falls
- Ladder accidents and scaffold collapses
- Structural collapse
- Heavy equipment and power tool failure
- Exposure to hazardous materials
- Falling objects
- Work zone vehicle accidents
Additionally, there are often several contractors, sub-contractors and employers working on construction projects. This sometimes results in workers who do not have the training necessary to do the job correctly. Many construction accidents are caused by human error.
Injuries at construction sites can be severe and include amputation, electric shock, burns, brain and spinal injuries, and nerve damage. Unfortunately, wrongful death is not uncommon.
