Falls Are the Leading Cause of Death on Construction Sites

Construction sites should require all workers, contractors, and others who enter the area to use certain personal protective equipment (PPE) to help prevent injuries. Many of the activities on these sites are inherently dangerous, and equipment, such as hard hats, harnesses, and steel-toed boots, can help prevent harm.

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the most common fatal accident that occurs on construction and renovation sites is a fall. This is especially true when the fall occurs from a height of more than six feet, such as a fall from a ladder, scaffold, roof, upper floor, staircase without a railing, or another elevated area.

Workers and contractors can suffer injuries because of:

Trips and falls
Slip and falls
Falls from a height
Being hit by a falling object

These injuries are common for painters, maintenance workers, window washers, and demolition workers, as well as other builders and workers.

There are also other types of construction injury incidents that are relatively common, including carpentry injuries, forklift accidents, pin injuries, and more. If you suffered injuries on a construction site in Freeport or a nearby area, contact Rosenberg & Gluck, L.L.P. today for your free case review. Call (631) 451-7900.

Recoverable Damages Through a Third-Party Construction Accident Claim

New York State laws will not allow you to file a lawsuit against your employer if you were hurt on a construction site or other work site. However, you can pursue workers’ compensation damages, which cover your medical care and a portion of your lost wages. Then, thanks to the Scaffold Law and related labor laws, you may be able to pursue a third-party claim against the general contractor, construction site owner, or another party.

We can help you understand your options and assign liability in your case, if possible. We gather evidence to support our clients’ claims, including documenting the recoverable damages they suffered. We may be able to use this evidence to negotiate an out-of-court settlement agreement and recover a payout on your behalf.

You may be able to recover additional lost income and benefits and out-of-pocket expenses and losses, as well as compensation for the intangible losses you experienced. This could mean receiving a financial recovery for your pain and suffering, emotional stress, diminished quality of life, and other non-economic damages.

We may also be able to help you if your loved one died from their workplace injuries following a construction accident. Wrongful death damages may be available in addition to workers’ compensation payouts for the fatal accident.
