Construction Accident Cases/Labor Law Cases

VWL > Construction Accident Cases/Labor Law Cases

The nature of construction work makes it one of the most productive industries in the country.  It also makes it one of the most dangerous for the workers who engage in this profession.  Construction workers are constantly thrust into inherently dangerous conditions, where one wrong move could lead to life-threatening injuries, permanent and significant disabilities and irreversible damages.

These brave workers are protected in New York by industrial codes that set commands for general contractors and property owners to follow.  When these commands are not complied with, accidents and serious injuries are likely to occur.  Some of the most common types of construction accidents that occur are:

Workers who Fall from Elevation

Falling Objects or Falling Equipment

Scaffolding Accidents

Electrocutions

Crane Accidents or Heavy Machinery Accidents

Improper Ventilation

Equipment Misuses or Tool Misuses
