Some of the most serious construction site accidents occur when workers either slip and fall during work, or fall off a scaffold. These types of fall accidents can cause major injuries that can be devastating to construction workers and their families. These are also most often the types of injuries that result in death. Even when the worker survives, there are many tough challenges he or she is faced with such as expensive medical bills, loss of income resulting from missed work and in some case, continuing medical costs. Sometimes, workers are left with a permanent disability that leaves them unable to work for the rest of their lives.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a construction fall accident, you would be well-advised to retain an experienced Manhattan personal injury law firm with experience and a successful track record to represent you and protect your legal rights. In some cases, where a third party's negligence is apparent, construction accident victims and/or their families may be entitled to significant compensation.
