Our efforts have generated many multimillion-dollar verdicts and construction accident settlements for our clients.
When a construction worker is injured on a job site in New York, understanding the available legal options is crucial for securing fair compensation. At Grandelli & Eskenasi, we specialize in helping injured workers pursue maximum construction accident settlements through both workers’ compensation benefits and third-party claims against negligent parties.
Two Paths to Compensation for Injured Construction Workers
For workers injured in construction accidents, there are two primary avenues for pursuing the compensation necessary for recovery:
- Workers’ compensation benefits: Available regardless of fault
- Third-party claims: Cases where an unrelated party such as a subcontractor caused the accident
Many injured workers don’t realize they can simultaneously file for workers’ compensation benefits while pursuing third-party claims against those responsible for their injuries. As experienced construction lawyers, we focus on securing the construction accident settlements injured workers deserve from these negligent parties.
