Our NYC work injury lawyers manage every kind of construction accident case

Our construction accident lawyer in New York City has experience handling most of the types of construction-related injuries in the area. We take on even the most challenging cases with confidence and support for our clients, including:

  • Machinery related accidents
  • Falls from heights
  • Lack of safety equipment being used or being in good condition
  • Explosions and toxic chemical exposure
  • Falling objects
  • Slip and fall cases
  • Electrocution
  • Chemical spills
  • Traffic collisions

Each of these types of construction accidents requires careful attention to the unique needs of each person. One of the ways we work closely with our clients is to ensure there is a solid understanding of all of their losses. To do this, we look at all of the ways they were hurt due to the construction site management or other party’s failure to provide quality services, which led to injuries.

Some of the most common injuries we see in these cases include:

  • Broken bones
  • Toxic exposures that lead to burns and lung disease
  • Falls from heights that lead to complicated broken bones
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Burns
  • Wounds
  • Crushing accidents
  • Paralysis and permanent chronic pain

Lambrou Law helps you identify all damages in your construction accident claim

Our attorneys will work with you to estimate your damages exhaustively. To do this, we look at more than just your medical care costs and consider factors related to your quality of life and ability to maintain your health. Some examples of the damages we will fight for you to recover as your construction accident lawyer in NYC include:

  • Medical bills
  • Ongoing rehabilitation and recovery bills
  • Associated pain medications and therapy costs
  • Holistic medicine costs
  • Emotional trauma
  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost time at work
  • Loss of earning capacity

When you meet with our construction accident attorney in New York City, we determine how you suffered in this case, both economically (financial) and non-economically. With this information, we can seek fair compensation for you through the appropriate at-fault party’s insurance protection.

Our team helps you meet the statute of limitations in New York City

One of the obstacles that can affect your negligence claim for a construction accident is meeting the filing deadline requirements. In New York, there is a three-year statute of limitations. You have that length of time to take action and receive compensation for your losses. 

If you wait longer than this, the insurance company is not required under law to provide you with any compensation. The longer you wait, the harder it can be to find witnesses and preserve evidence that could be critical in your case. For that reason, we encourage you to contact our NYC construction accident lawyers immediately for the hands-on support you need.

Frequently asked questions about construction accidents answered by Lambrou Law

As reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), slips and falls, tripping on debris or uneven surfaces, falling into holes, and broken bones are some of the most common construction site accidents. Holes, defects in the construction process, bad lighting, or something slippery on the floor may bring this on.

A person who is accessing a construction site and is hurt on that site may have the right to file a claim for losses they have as a result of the property owner's negligent or reckless behavior. Keep in mind that construction accidents occur to employees and bystanders.

Filing workers’ compensation claims for the losses is necessary for an employee suffering a construction site accident. When a bystander suffers an injury, the company may be responsible if the party is supposed to be on the property.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is a government agency tasked with keeping job sites safe. It establishes safety rules and works to ensure that the company adheres to them. This includes rules related to safety equipment for employees, falling debris nets and limits, and any type of structural integrity concern. Though the local building department ensures that projects are built legally, the OSHA inspector ensures everyone is safe.

Each case is unique, and our attorneys cannot answer this question without meeting with you for a free evaluation. However, the value of a construction accident case depends on multiple factors, including the amount of medical bills you have, the value of your pain and suffering, and any lost time at work. Both economic and non-economic factors are considered here.
