New York's Safe Place to Work Laws

In New York, every worker-including laborers and construction workers-should have an expectation that their workplace is safe. New York's legislature enacted labor laws which protect injured construction workers who are injured in a fall or by falling debris. If a worker is injured in this manner, the owner and the contractor are held liable for the injuries, regardless of safety violation, negligence, or fault.

Our injury lawyers investigate all aspects of these cases for additional liability to ensure we recover full compensation for our clients and their families.
