Construction workers use ladders, scaffolds, cranes, forklifts, and other devices that put them up high off the ground to complete a task. This creates a dangerous work environment, and falls are frequent occurrences. These falls can lead to severe and catastrophic injuries such as brain injuries, broken or fractured bones, spinal injuries, torn ligaments and, in some cases, even death.

These injuries can devastate a family emotionally and financially. Medical bills can pile up, coupled with lost or reduced income and, of course, pain and suffering.

You may be entitled to compensation if you or a loved one has been injured in a construction site accident due to someone else’s negligence.

If proper Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations had been implemented, most construction site falls could have been avoided. Contractors, site supervisors, property owners, building managers, and construction companies are typically responsible for instituting proper safety measures on construction sites.

Cutting corners or poor training can lead to work site accidents all too often. Improper use of ladders and scaffolds, badly maintained equipment, and blocked or cluttered pathways can all lead to falls on New York construction sites, which result in significant injuries.
