Construction site injury is unfortunately all too common in North
and South Carolina. Failure of contractors to enforce worker protection
standards on job sites often results in serious injuries. Workers
can be robbed of their health, employability, or life itself.
OSHA regulations and labor law set requirements for safety equipment,
machinery maintenance, fall safety precautions, construction of
scaffolding, placement of ladders, and a variety of other construction
safety issues.
Job site injuries occur because of falls from heights, old or
re-used safety harnesses, falling objects, equipment malfunction,
ladder falls, or sometimes spectacular failures to observe basic
safety precautions. Construction workers and visitors injured
as a result deserve to be compensated for medical expenses, rehabilitation,
long-term care, and lost wages.
Compensation for your injury on the job
If you’ve been injured, or if a loved one has been killed
due to a construction site accident, contact an experienced New
York construction accident attorney at The Stanley Law Offices
in Syracuse, Johnson City, or Watertown. Our personal injury and
Workers’ Compensation lawyers have extensive experience and
a track record of success obtaining compensation for workers who’ve
suffered from broken bones, fractures, burns back injury, brain
damage, spinal cord trauma, or other serious injury.
Our investigation of your case
After you’ve received appropriate medical treatment, contact
us for a free consultation . Once you've explored the options
available in your case with one of our Workers’ Compensation
or personal injury lawyers, we will begin an immediate, thorough
investigation into all circumstances of your accident.
In your Workers’ Compensation case, we are prepared to assist
you in filing claims in a timely and persuasive fashion. Meanwhile,
we will pursue any related personal injury claims that can be
made if dangerous property conditions or defective equipment contributed
to your injury, or if you were a visitor—or even trespasser—on
the construction site. You'll owe no attorneys’ fees unless
you collect compensation.
