Construction Accident Lawyers in The Bronx

Construction sites pose innumerable dangers to workers. However, accidents typically fall into four categories. Per OSHA, the top four are as follows:

• Falls: Such as a fall from ladder or scaffold or through an opening.
• Caught In-Between: Such as being crushed by equipment.
• Struck-By: Such as a falling object/debris.
• Electrocution.

Many employers will have you believe that workers’ compensation is the only means through which you can recover compensation following a construction accident. This is not true. Workers’ comp limits your recovery to medical bills, disability and lost income. However, our team can help you identify other liable parties and file a third-party lawsuit for the following types of damages:

• Rehabilitation
• PTSD
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional duress
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Loss of consortium (if you lost a loved one in a construction accident)

Just as there are things you can do to strengthen your case, there are things you can do — or not do — to hurt your case. Below are the top four:

• Not reporting your accident to your supervisor
• Not seeking medical attention
• Not reporting to and filing a claim with workers’ compensation
• Not seeking the representation of an experienced New York personal injury lawyer

Your account of events and medical report can go a long way toward establishing negligence.
