Construction Accident Legal Rights and Safety FAQ
TL;DR
The Perecman Firm helps construction workers secure multi-million dollar recoveries beyond workers' compensation by holding contractors and property owners accountable for preventable accidents.
Injured workers should immediately report accidents, seek medical care, preserve site evidence, and consult attorneys before speaking with insurance adjusters to protect legal rights.
This legal protection ensures injured construction workers receive full compensation for medical costs and lost wages, supporting their families and promoting safer job sites for all.
New York's Labor Law sections 240 and 241 provide special protections allowing construction workers to sue property owners even when employers aren't directly negligent.

The firm is urging construction workers, bystanders, and contractors to understand and assert their legal rights after preventable job-site accidents, emphasizing that injured workers often have rights beyond just workers' compensation claims.
Construction sites present some of the highest risks for serious injury in the region, and many workers mistakenly believe they're limited to workers' compensation when they may actually have the right to bring personal injury lawsuits for pain and suffering, lost future wages, and full medical expenses.
The firm handles the full spectrum of construction accident claims, including falls from heights, scaffold or ladder collapses, electrocutions, struck-by-object incidents, crane collisions, trench or hoist mishaps, and more.
Report the accident immediately and obtain an accident report, seek immediate medical attention and maintain clear records, preserve the job site condition by photographing hazardous setups, and contact an experienced construction-accident attorney before providing statements to insurance adjusters.
Most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within three years of the accident, workers' compensation claims obey different timelines, and government entity claims may have far shorter deadlines.
New York's Labor Law provides special protections including Section 240(1) (the Scaffold Law), Section 241(6), and Section 200, which allow injured workers to hold property owners, contractors, and others responsible for failing to provide proper safety protections.
There is often a chain of responsible parties including subcontractors, general contractors, property owners, and equipment manufacturers, and New York labor laws can apply even if the employer itself was not negligent directly.
No fees are charged unless the firm recovers compensation on behalf of the client, and they offer free case reviews for anyone injured in construction site incidents or who witnessed unsafe conditions.
Construction workers who have been injured on job sites, bystanders who witnessed unsafe conditions before an accident, and contractors seeking legal guidance about construction safety responsibilities.
