Construction Accident Attorney

Manhattan | Suffolk County | Nassau County | Long Island

Despite numerous safety regulations, construction remains a high risk, dangerous industry. If you have been injured in a construction accident on Long Island — whether in residential or commercial building construction or renovation, in highway construction, or elsewhere — you might mistakenly believe that a workers' compensation claim is your only legal recourse. In addition to workers’ compensation, other legal remedies are available for serious construction accident injuries.

Third Party Construction Injury Claims

In the state of New York, while you cannot sue your employer, you may file a lawsuit to recover for injuries suffered based on third-party liability in a construction accident. Under New York labor law, such third parties include property owners, contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers and equipment manufacturers. Parties are responsible for maintaining a safe construction site with adequate safety provisions and safety equipment. A third-party claim potentially offers much greater compensation than a workers' compensation claim. Damages recovered under workers’ compensation generally do not begin to cover the expenses of severe injury.

If you are a construction worker and have been injured in a fall from a height, including a roof fall, ladder fall or scaffolding accident, Rosenberg & Gluck, LLP, have the experience to protect your interests and help you obtain full and fair compensation for your injuries. Under New York statutes, a general contractor and/or owner may be absolutely liable for elevation-related injuries. This includes not only employee falls but also falling equipment.

At the law firm of Rosenberg & Gluck, LLP, in Holtsville, N.Y., we represent persons who have been injured in Long Island and throughout Suffolk County, including the communities of Holtsville, Farmingville, Setauket, Stony Brook, Ronkonkoma, Shirley, Huntington, Patchogue, Coram, Mastic, Port Jefferson and Medford.

Our lawyers stay abreast of changing laws affecting construction accidents and utilize in-depth knowledge of statutes and case law to get you the maximum compensation you are entitled to receive.

We understand the hardship that serious injury creates for construction-site workers and their families, especially when severe injury prevents a major wage earner from providing for family needs. Permanent disability can mean the end of a career. Finding other work that offers comparable wages and benefits might not be possible.

You need a construction accident lawyer who has successfully litigated and negotiated accident settlements. Expertise acquired from decades of experience handling construction accidents makes Rosenberg & Gluck a top choice if you have been injured in this line of work. Our skills in the accurate calculation of lost future income and of health care expenses enable us to seek just compensation on your behalf.
