A thousand accidents could happen when working in construction. Slip and fall injuries, crane accidents, machinery accidents, electrocutions, scaffolding accidents, caught between objects, and more.

Falling from high heights is one of the most common accidents in the construction site. There are even mandatory precautions that have to be taken in order to prevent such accidents, such as proper installment of scaffolding, ladders, and safety bars.These are required by law in the construction site to avoid slip and fall injuries. The state of New York even acknowledges the amount of cases regarding falling from great heights in the workplace, and has The Scaffold Law that is to be implemented in every site that is working on building on tall heights.This enforces strict rules to guarantee the safety of the workers and liability should they fall into an accident.
Numerous factors can cause a construction worker to slip and fall even with safety measures being taken to prevent such accidents. These can include walking surface conditions, weather conditions, obstructions, site-coordination issues, or human error. Some of these are inevitable and can lead to minor and major injuries. It is important for a fall injury victim to know the steps they have to take after an accident and the rights they are entitled to. In most accident cases, a construction worker is entitled to a workers’ compensation from their employer or site owner to cover the medical costs that are incurred. However, this is far from enough in most major cases and there are additional expenses that are suffered during the injury.
If a victim feels that the workers’ compensation is inadequate for the expenses they have to pay for the accident they suffered, they should get legal consultation to explore the options available for them. A scaffolding fall attorney can file for a personal injury case and sue the responsible parties so that the victim’s expenses are met. The lawyers at Silberstein, Awad & Miklos law firm know the hardships a victim faces when they suffer an accident and aim to help them in every way they can. They will determine liability and investigate whether the victim has received the proper compensation they need from their employers. Additional costs that are suffered from an accident can include other medical expenses, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, loss of consortium, and other additional damages. These are all thoroughly investigated by the construction injury attorneys and legal experts of the firm. It is important to seek legal counsel so that all matters related to the injury are attended to and the victim gets the justice they deserve.
