Construction Accidents
There are many different types of accidents that happen to construction workers every day. These may include falling from a collapsed or poorly built scaffolding, unstable ladders, cranes or sidewalk bridges, or a worker may suffer injuries because of broken or missing safety equipment.

Unfortunately, accidents on construction sites are very common and many times result in catastrophic injuries and sometimes death. New York Labor Law helps construction workers to get paid for their injuries, medical expenses and lost wages in a lawsuit. If you have fallen from a height on a construction site, the general contractor at the job site and the owner of the property may be completely responsible for the accident. Even if you are not sure what caused your construction site accident or who is responsible, call us. We will investigate your case and help protect your rights.

Slip and Fall
Property owners and operators must make sure that their property is safe. If, for any reason, a property is unsafe, owners must post visible warnings. A slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall injury can happen when owners do not maintain their property, or fail to warn people of a dangerous condition. The victim of such an accident may seek damages against the property's owner, operator or both.

Common slip-and-fall accidents can happen because of:

• poorly maintained elevators or escalators;
• slippery or wet floors;
• broken steps;
• poor lighting;
• broken or missing handrails;
• construction debris;
• garbage debris;
• pot holes;
• road work;
• speed bumps that are not clearly marked;
• construction work;
• uneven, icy, or cracked sidewalks; or
• other dangerous conditions.

The law requires certain duties and responsibilities on municipal governments, landlords, and store owners to maintain safe sidewalks, aisles, and walkways. If you are injured as a result of a trip or slip and fall, you should report the accident to police or security personnel, get the names and addresses of any witnesses, and consult with a slip and fall injury lawyer. You may be entitled to a sum of money as damages for your injury.

Product Liability
Product Liability means that manufacturers, distributors, and sellers of products, including the retail stores, can be responsible for injuries from a defective product. “Products” for these legal purposes cover a wide range of categories, including:

• stoves;
• cars;
• trucks;
• automobiles;
• motorcycles;
• automobile accessories such as tires, seat belts, airbags and child car seats;
• ladders;
• construction material;
• cleaning products;
• machinery and tools;
• medicine and drugs;
• medical devices;
• food and tobacco;
• chemicals;
• household products and appliances;
• toys and other recreational equipment; and
• clothing and apparel.

Under product liability law, someone who is injured by an unsafe product may be entitled to compensation from the person or company who develops or advertises the product.

Many injuries happen each year because of defective products. The product may not be safe because of:

• design defects;
• use of dangerous materials;
• manufacturing defects;
• incorrect or incomplete instructions;
• vague labels;
• failure to provide danger warnings; or
• failure to honor current warranties.

What some people do not know is that you may have a lawsuit if injured by a product that was advertised without a warning of possible danger. Recent dangerous toys taken off the market (toy “recalls”) have happened because of, for example: toys and parts of toys that caused children to choke and children's rings that contained high levels of lead, increasing the threat of lead poisoning.
