Injuries From Improper Loading and Unloading in New York City

We can help if you were injured in a loading or unloading accident involving:

  • The overloading of cargo on trucks
  • Being struck or crushed when overloaded cargo falls
  • Poorly secured loads
  • Being struck by loose cargo or falling objects
  • Locks and securing mechanisms that fail
  • The improper stacking of material upon unloading materials or before loading freight
  • An unsafe loading or unloading location, like an ingress, egress, exit or entryway
  • Cargo and freight placed in the way of machinery

If you have been injured by improperly loaded or unloaded bricks, logs, sheetrock or other construction material, contact a lawyer even if you have already filed a workers’ compensation claim. You may have an actionable third-party claim if a contractor or other third party was responsible for the dangerous condition that led to your injuries. Third-party claims may yield more money damages than a workers’ compensation claim.

Undocumented workers have the right to be compensated for their injuries just like other workers in NYC. Se habla español.
