WHY WORKPLACE ACCIDENTS ARE SO SERIOUS IN NEW YORK
Construction sites in New York are some of the busiest places around. But they’re also some of the most dangerous. One accident can change your life forever — leaving you with serious injuries or even worse.
When this happens, you’re left with medical bills, lost income, and stress that affects your whole family. That’s why having the right workplace accident lawyer in New York by your side makes all the difference.
At Yassi Law P.C., led by Reza Yassi, we fight for injured workers. Our job is to hold property owners, contractors, and anyone responsible accountable. Most of all, we work to make sure you and your family get the compensation you truly deserve.
YOUR RIGHTS UNDER NEW YORK LABOR LAW
New York has some of the strongest worker protections in the country through its Labor Law. These laws ensure that construction workers are provided with safe working conditions.
Section 240 – The Scaffold Law
This law places strict liability on property owners and general contractors when workers are injured from falls, scaffolding collapses, or falling objects. Even if the worker shares some fault, the property owner and contractor may still be fully responsible.
Section 241 – Safe Worksite Requirements
This section requires worksites to follow specific safety regulations. Employers must provide protective equipment, proper lighting, safe walkways, and more. If they fail to do so, they may be held liable for any injuries that occur.
These protections mean that workers don’t have to settle for just workers’ compensation. With the help of a skilled workplace injury lawyer, you may be able to recover much more.
COMMON WORKPLACE ACCIDENT EXAMPLES
Construction accidents can happen in many ways. Some of the most common include:
-
Falls from scaffolds, ladders, or rooftops
-
Being struck by falling objects or debris
-
Crane or heavy machinery accidents
-
Unsafe or defective equipment
-
Electrocution from exposed wiring
-
Slips and falls caused by unsafe conditions
Each of these accidents can leave victims with serious injuries such as broken bones, head trauma, spinal cord injuries, or permanent disability. A skilled workplace accident attorney can investigate what went wrong and fight for full compensation.
WHAT COMPENSATION CAN YOU RECOVER?
If you’ve been injured in a workplace accident, you may be entitled to:
-
Coverage for medical bills and future treatment
-
Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
-
Pain and suffering
-
Disability or permanent impairment compensation
-
Wrongful death benefits for surviving family members
Hiring the best workplace accident lawyer ensures you don’t miss out on the full financial recovery you deserve.
