Construction accident lawyers in New York
Job sites are dangerous, and more than one company may be responsible when someone gets hurt. We review what happened and who was in charge of safety.
Job sites bring together machinery, heights, heavy materials and several contractors working at the same time. When something fails, injuries are often serious.
We review site conditions, the available reports and the parties involved to explain what options exist in your specific situation.
Common situations
- Falls from scaffolding, ladders or roofs.
- Objects or materials falling from upper levels.
- Accidents involving machinery or tools.
- Trenches, excavations and unstable surfaces.
- Missing protection or signage in the work area.

Common questions
Can I consult if I do not have immigration documents?
You may contact the firm for a free consultation. Every situation is reviewed individually and confidentially within the applicable legal framework.
What if I already reported the injury to my employer?
Having reported the injury does not prevent a review of your case. Keep a copy of the report and any communications, as they may be relevant documentation.
What evidence should I keep?
Photographs of the site and the equipment involved, internal reports, names of coworkers who witnessed the event and all medical records.
Is there a cost for the consultation?
No. The initial review is free and does not automatically create an attorney-client relationship.
