Construction accidents can be caused by many different factors, including heavy machinery or equipment failure, faulty design plans, neglecting to secure proper permits for projects, lack of safety training and protective gear provided to employees, insufficient oversight, poor provision of safety equipment, faulty scaffolds and ladders, falling objects, unsafe working conditions, hazardous materials or chemicals, improper storage methods for heavy machinery or equipment, and many other causes. Construction accidents can lead to serious injuries including cuts, bruises, broken bones (fractures), head injuries (concussions), spinal cord injuries (paralysis), brain injuries, nerve damage, loss of limbs (amputations), heatstroke, hypothermia, death. Construction workers are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits for any job-related injury or illness if their employer is covered by the New York State Workers’ Compensation law. Construction accidents can result in workers’ compensation claims whether they result in a temporary disability, permanent disability or death. Construction workers are entitled to seek damages from the general contractor or construction manager if their employer is not covered by the New York State Workers’ Compensation law. Construction accident victims have the right to receive compensation for lost wages, medical expenses and other damages resulting from an injury on a construction site. If you have been injured in a construction accident, call an experienced construction accident lawyer to find out if you are entitled to receive workers’ compensation benefits or if you may be able to file a personal injury claim.
