Have You Been Hurt on a Construction Site in New York City?

orlow-firm-nyc-personal-injury-attorneysThe risks that construction workers take on a daily basis often go unrewarded. Getting hurt on the job can be devastating for NYC construction workers and their families. To make matters worse, workers’ compensation packages can be paltry in comparison to the emotional and physical distress caused by an on-the-job injury.

Fortunately, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel: Even if you are already receiving workers’ comp benefits, you may still be entitled to more money for your injuries, especially if a third party is responsible. At The Orlow Firm, our attorneys focus on providing representation in third-party claims to injured construction workers.

We have represented injured people in NYC for more than 30 years. For a free consultation, call (646) 647-3398 or contact us online and speak to a construction accident lawyer in New York.

New York City Third-Party Liability Lawyers

Often, third parties are partially responsible for accidents on a construction site. These third parties could include property owners, equipment manufacturers or contractors and subcontractors. In any case, the settlement you might receive from such a suit could be exponentially greater than your workers’ comp benefits. For this reason, it is so important to work with an experienced accident attorney who understands third-party negligence.

Our law firm represents all types of workers, including undocumented workers, in third-party negligence claims. Se habla español.

When you do, you may find that you can still recoup costs for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and even punitive damages against a third party. Plus, you have absolutely nothing to lose by examining your situation further: Your initial consultation with the lawyers of The Orlow Firm is FREE.

New York City Injured Construction Workers With Third Party Claims Obtain Compensation

Many construction industry employees in NYC are surprised to learn that New York law prohibits them from suing their employer or a fellow worker following an on-the-job injury, even if the negligence of an employer or fellow worker clearly caused the accident. Why are the prohibitions in place? Because lawmakers sought to promote workplace harmony by limiting lengthy legal battles between workers and between workers and employers.

Though construction industry workers can’t sue their employers or each other, they can sue other parties that may have been liable for their injuries. At The Orlow Firm, our attorneys are have 30 years of experience handling third-party claims for construction accidents. We truly care for each of our clients, and we treat each case as our most important case. This helps us get clients the results they deserve.

Third-Party Claims for Construction Accidents in New York City May Be Available

The father-and-sons team at our NYC law firm have handled hundreds of personal injury claims, including numerous third-party claims following construction site accidents.

For instance, while working on a construction project:

  • Were you injured on scaffolding assembled by a contractor?
  • Were you struck by a vehicle or forklift operated by a subcontractor?
  • Were you injured by material that was improperly loaded off-site by the agents of another firm?
  • Were you struck by material that was dropped on you from above by a contractor or subcontractor, or were you injured in a slip and fall accident caused by an object or material left by a third party?

You have a right to pursue damages against anyone liable for your injuries except your employer and your co-workers. This is good news because third-party litigation almost always yields more compensation than workers’ compensation benefits.

Undocumented workers also have the right to compensation for injuries received on job sites. Our law firm represents undocumented workers in these claims. Se habla español.
