Frequently Asked Questions

Seek medical attention immediately, report the accident to your employer, and document the scene if possible. Before speaking with insurance companies, consult an experienced construction accident attorney to protect your rights.
Yes. While workers’ compensation typically prevents lawsuits against your employer, you may have a separate claim against negligent third parties, such as contractors, property owners, or equipment manufacturers.
Known as the “Scaffold Law,” Labor Law 240 protects workers injured in elevation-related accidents involving ladders, scaffolds, roofs, and other elevated work areas. It allows injured workers to pursue compensation when proper safety protections were not provided.
The time limit depends on the type of claim and the parties involved. In many cases, personal injury claims must be filed within three years, but certain deadlines may be much shorter. Speaking with an attorney as soon as possible is the best way to protect your rights.
Your initial consultation is completely free. We also work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no legal fees unless we recover compensation for you.
Depending on your case, you may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, rehabilitation costs, and other accident-related damages. Our team works to maximize every client’s recovery.
