Ladder Accidents

Ladder Accidents Attorneys

Serving Clients in The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan, New York, Since 1981

A fall from a broken or unsecured ladder while on a construction site can result in broken bones, neck injuries, back injuries, or even spinal cord injuries, paralysis, or death. The severity of a ladder accident may vary, but where a third party was at fault for your injury, you may be entitled to significant compensation for those injuries and disabilities.

Our ladder accident attorneys are prepared to fully investigate your case, prepare evidence on your behalf, and aggressively advocate for maximum recovery.

If you slipped and fell off a ladder or a scaffold at a construction site, the fault may not be yours. Our attorneys will look into the condition of the worksite along with its safety measures and the condition of the ladder being used. We consider whether the correct equipment was supplied for the task at hand, whether the equipment was in good working order, and whether the workers in the vicinity were aware of the work being done around them.

We have experience in all of the following construction cases:

The investigation is an important part of your case. Our ladder accident attorneys have over 25 years of experience handling construction accident cases. We will consult with experts, identify the cause of your accident or injury, collect medical documentation, and apply our keen knowledge of construction law to your case. We know how to protect your rights and ensure that you and your family are fairly compensated.

If you have been injured in a construction accident, you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your rights to compensation. Even if you are receiving workers’ compensation benefits, you may be eligible for additional damages if a third party (someone other than your employer or a coworker) caused your injuries. Examples of third parties include ladder manufacturers, subcontractors, and landlords. Settlements and verdicts awarded to victims of construction accidents caused by third-party negligence are typically much greater than workers’ compensation awards.

Fee Arrangement

At Orlow, Orlow & Orlow, P.C., we take all cases on a "contingent fee" basis. A contingent fee means that the attorneys are paid only at the time when, and if, they recover money damages for the client. A contingent fee thereby allows an injured person with little or no financial resources to obtain competent legal assistance. At the time recovery is obtained, the attorneys’ fee is a percentage of the award in the case. If there is no recovery, there will be no attorneys’ fees.*
