Construction Accidents
Under New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Florida labor laws, construction contractors bear full liability for any violations.
In New York, for instance, the construction sector operates under stringent labor laws, particularly sections 240, 240(1), and 241(6). These laws unequivocally hold property owners and employers accountable for ensuring safe worksites. Failure to provide necessary safeguards can result in absolute liability. Common construction accident claims encompass scaffold collapses, ladder falls, and other gravity-related accidents; forklift and crane accidents; trenching and excavation accidents; and electrocution injuries. To process claims successfully, it's crucial that your attorney is well-versed in the legal nuances surrounding these accidents.
