Why You Need Specialized Construction Lawyers

The New York State Labor Law and Industrial Code were specifically enacted to protect construction workers, recognizing that large construction companies often prioritize profits over worker safety. However, companies defending construction accident claims typically employ major insurance carriers with vast resources who vigorously contest every claim, regardless of merit.

As experienced Staten Island construction accident lawyers, we understand these challenges. We know that workers’ compensation benefits alone often fail to provide adequate coverage for the full range of damages you may be entitled to recover through proper litigation.

Proven Experience Handling Complex Construction Cases

Our construction lawyers have aggressively investigated and litigated numerous complex cases, achieving dozens of significant recoveries after going to trial or through pre-trial mediation. We also possess extensive experience in appellate work when necessary in these highly contested cases.

For Staten Island construction workers specifically, we have:

Successfully represented workers injured in falls from scaffolds, ladders, and other elevations
Obtained substantial settlements for workers struck by falling objects at construction sites
Secured compensation for workers injured by unsafe equipment or inadequate safety protocols
Won cases involving violations of New York Labor Law §240(1), §241(6), and §200

Comprehensive Legal Representation Beyond Workers’ Compensation

While workers’ compensation provides some benefits, it significantly limits the types of damages you can recover. As dedicated personal injury lawyers in NYC with construction law expertise, we fight to secure full compensation for:

Past and future medical expenses
Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Permanent disability
Emotional distress
Loss of enjoyment of life
