Utility workers are highly skilled technicians, working under dangerous conditions to supply us all with vital necessities for our busy lives. They climb incredibly high poles, move with ease through tight tunnels, and maneuver high-voltage power lines on a daily basis. Unfortunately, many different types of accidents can happen on these difficult jobs, leaving workers with serious injuries.

State and federal regulations are not always followed

State and federal regulations exist to help protect the safety of New York utility workers, but these regulations are not always followed by those responsible, which leaves utility workers at risk of serious injury. If you are a utility worker who has been injured on the job, you are entitled to receive benefits and compensation to help you recover from your injuries and restore your ability to function.

At the Law Offices of Michael S. Lamonsoff, PLLC, our construction injury lawyers have spent many years aggressively pursuing claims on behalf of injured workers. To us, every case is important, everyone has a story, and every injured worker is entitled to obtain the maximum recovery permitted by law. We do the work, so that you can concentrate on healing.
