Fearless Attorneys Who Pursue New York Construction Injury Workers Comp Benefits
At Pasternack Tilker - Workers Law, we know the catastrophic effects construction accidents can have on your life. We also know New York scaffolding law and workers compensation law inside and out, and that workers compensation insurance companies will often downplay construction site injuries. But building site accidents can result in any number of life-changing injuries, including paralysis, coma, spinal cord injury such as a crushed spine, shoulder and neck injury or traumatic brain injury, and a long list of injuries requiring surgery.
Safety Violations on Construction Sites Can Mean Debilitating Injury, Even Death
Dangerous safety violations and lack of protective gear on construction sites can mean severe construction site injuries. Employers should provide every form of safety gear needed to protect workers, including hard hats, goggles and other eye protection, earplugs, headphones and other ear protection, steel-toed boots and utility insulated gloves. With lack of basic protective gear, as well as poor safety training at so many building sites, we are never surprised at the construction site accident cases we see.
If it's a power tool accident or heavy machine injury, it doesn't matter what brand or equipment manufacturer was involved-Link-Belt, DeWalt, Caterpillar, Bobcat, Komatsu, Volvo, Case, Makita, Kubota, Black & Decker or any of the hundreds of power tool companies that exist. Heavy equipment accidents and fatalities can happen, particularly due to disrepair if proper inspections and scheduled maintenances have not been followed according to OSHA regulations.
