Brooklyn, NY Construction Accident Lawyer

While most injured workers in New York are entitled to workers’ compensation, that alone may not be enough to cover the full extent of your losses. Workers’ comp typically helps with medical expenses and a portion of your lost wages, but it does not account for pain and suffering, future income loss, or long-term disability. Depending on your case, a third-party personal injury claim can be pursued in addition to your workers’ comp benefits—especially if a contractor, property owner, equipment manufacturer, or other negligent party contributed to the accident.

Construction accidents can involve falls from heights, scaffolding collapses, falling objects, electrocutions, machinery malfunctions, or even exposure to toxic chemicals. These incidents often leave workers with severe injuries such as broken bones, spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, burns, or even permanent disability. Some workers never fully recover and cannot return to their jobs. Others face months or years of rehabilitation. The physical, emotional, and financial toll can be devastating, both for the injured worker and their families.

Our team can investigate the details of the incident, identify all liable parties, and work with medical and safety experts to build a strong case. They’ll deal with insurance companies that often try to minimize payouts or deny claims altogether. Having legal representation levels the playing field and ensures your rights are protected throughout the process. We can help you recover compensation not only for medical bills and lost income, but also for future medical care, reduced earning capacity, emotional distress, and pain and suffering.
