Construction Site Accidents
A construction worker injured on the job has the right to workers' compensation for medical care and lost wages — but when the accident was caused by an unsafe condition or a party other than the employer, workers' comp is rarely the full story. New York law allows an injured worker to pursue additional compensation outside the workers' comp system in the right circumstances.
Pascale Law has recovered significant results for injured construction workers, including a $6.75 million settlement on behalf of an asphalt worker who suffered a brain and spinal cord injury after falling from a paint spray booth at a Port Jefferson worksite.
- Falls from scaffolding, ladders, or elevated platforms
- Accidents involving subcontractors or vendors
- Injuries caused by faulty construction equipment
- Third-party claims outside workers' compensation
Case Result
$6.75 million settlement for an asphalt worker who suffered a brain and spinal cord injury falling from a paint spray booth at a Port Jefferson worksite.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is workers' compensation my only option?
Not necessarily — if a party other than your employer contributed to the accident, you may have an independent third-party claim.
What if faulty equipment caused my injury?
Equipment manufacturers and other third parties can be held liable separately from the workers' comp system.
