Construction Accidents And Injuries In New York
Construction is very common in Brooklyn and all across New York. This includes building renovations, new construction, demolition projects, interior and exterior construction work, and even road and sidewalk maintenance. If there are accidents at these sites, both construction site workers and pedestrians can suffer significant injuries.

We lean on this 60-plus years of experience to explore every case and help injured parties consider their legal options to seek compensation.

Types Of Construction Accidents
Every case is unique, so one of the first things that our experienced team will want to do is consider the specific type of construction accident that caused the injuries. Potential examples include:
● Falling from heights
● Objects (tools, materials, etc) falling onto people from above
● Chemical or thermal burns
● Chemical exposure
● Electric shocks
● Inappropriate use of construction equipment
● Failure to adhere to safety protocols
● Improper or missing signage
● People getting trapped by materials or equipment on the construction site, such as a trench collapse
These accidents can lead to very severe injuries, such as broken bones, internal injuries, burn injuries, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and spinal cord injuries (SCIs). They can result in both short-term and long-term disabilities, and some of our clients have family members who have passed away in these accidents. They need substantial compensation for everything from medical bills and long-term care needs to lost wages and a reduction in earning capacity. Our attorneys are here to help every step of the way.
