New York Construction Site Maintenance Lawyer
Handling Cases Involving Construction Site Safety Since 1981
Maintaining a safe construction site is one of the most important components in a construction site safety program. It is also one of the most difficult. Construction site maintenance involves almost all elements of the site and requires constant diligence on the part of builders and developers.
While achieving construction site safety is a challenging goal, state and federal laws and regulations both guide construction site operators and hold them accountable. When they fail to operate a safe construction site and injuries occur, injured workers usually have the right to pursue compensation.
The New York City construction accident attorneys of The Orlow Firm can provide the experienced legal assistance you need following injuries due to construction site safety lapses. We have handled thousands of personal injury claims since 1981, and are able to represent you if you have suffered injuries caused by any of the following:
- Dangerous equipment
- Unclean tools and machinery
- Scattered items which can result in slip and fall accidents
- Electrocution resulting from improperly connected extension cords, poorly maintained power tools and the failure to place rubber mats over potentially harmful ground wiring
- Unsafe building and site ingresses and egresses/entries and exits
- Failure to lay wood planks down over unsafe surfaces
- Collapsed trenches
- Defective scaffolds, ladders, saws, nail guns, forklifts and cranes
- Unsafe inclines
- Failure to provide safe surfaces after rain and snow
Did you fall through an unprotected and unfinished stairwell? Did you slip while moving a wheelbarrow up or down a slippery surface? Were you required to move unsafely from one scaffold to another? You may have a right to pursue both a workers' compensation claim and a third-party claim.
