Providing assistance for workers injured at construction site building collapses

Nobody can predict that there will be a collapse in a building, while under construction, renovation or being demolished. Whether the collapse is total or partial, the results can be catastrophic and often deadly. Unfortunately, the number of workers injured from collapses in buildings at construction, renovation or demolition sites is on the rise.

While injured workers can seek workers’ compensation, the benefits usually are not enough to cover the expenses and losses a worker sustained. Construction, demolition and renovation work can pay a worker a high salary. Workers compensation is inadequate compared to a worker’s package for this type of work.

New powerful laws enacted by the New York State government now allow workers injured at these sites to sue the owners, developers and general contractors whose negligence caused the injury, usually by choosing the speed of work (their profits) over safety. This is when an experienced construction injury lawyer in New York can help.
