Construction Accidents

Brooklyn Construction Accident Lawyers Have a Deep Understanding of NY Laws

Recovering damages for construction site injuries

Construction sites are inherently dangerous work environments. High scaffolding and dangerous equipment create an atmosphere where there is great potential for falls, crush injuries and other serious harm. In New York City and surrounding areas, ongoing construction is a fact of life in many places, presenting constant opportunities for injury. If you have suffered a work injury on a construction site, you need a personal injury lawyer who can help you get the care and recover the damages you need.

At the law office of Goldberg Sager & Associates in New York City, we provide attentive and responsive support while advocating aggressively for our injured clients and their families. Our experienced lawyers recognize that slip and fall accidents are common on construction sites. If you or someone you love is injured in such an accident, contact a Brooklyn premises liability lawyer at our firm today. We can help.

Scaffolding accidents attorneys can help you build a case

New York has special laws governing work injuries that take place on construction sites. Labor Law sections 240 and 241 are known as the “safe place to work” or “scaffold” laws. They state that if a construction worker suffers a scaffolding injury or an injury due to a falling object on the site, the contractor is responsible for the damages.

We handle third-party actions against outside contractors or subcontractors and their agents as well as other parties involved in the construction site who may be at fault for the accident. A knowledgeable Brooklyn personal injury attorney performs a thorough investigation into the facts of your case to identify the liable party or parties and exhaust all legal options available to reach a settlement or verdict for you.

If you have suffered an injury due to a construction accident, we understand you may have the following worries and concerns:

  • Where will I get the money needed to support my family?
  • How will I get the care I need?
  • Can I obtain reimbursement for pain and suffering?

A skilled lawyer at our law office can answer these and other questions, deal with insurance issues and take every step necessary to help you reclaim and rebuild your life after your accident. Although we attempt to settle cases without litigation, our skilled trial lawyers advocate relentlessly on your behalf in court, if necessary.

Personal Injury Claim Process Timeline

Filing a personal injury lawsuit can seem overwhelming, especially when you need to focus on your recovery.

At Silver Law Accident & Injury Lawyers, we strive to make the process as smooth and straightforward for our clients as we can.

Although no two cases are alike, personal injury cases tend to include the following steps:

  • Seeking medical care. If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident, it’s crucial to seek medical attention right away. Some injuries aren’t immediately noticeable, and prompt medical records can serve as valuable proof for insurance adjusters and in court.
  • Speaking with a lawyer. While individuals may handle smaller personal injury cases on their own, other claims can benefit greatly from the expertise of a personal injury attorney. Silver Law Office offers free initial consultations for anyone unsure about pursuing a personal injury claim.
  • Investigation and review. If you hire an attorney, they will launch an investigation to gather evidence and assess your case. At Silver Law Office, we collaborate with accident reconstruction experts and healthcare professionals to present clear, compelling facts to insurers—or in court, if necessary.
  • Filing a claim. Before entering into negotiations or litigation, all relevant parties must be formally notified of your claim. For instance, if you’ve been in a car accident, you’ll need to file a personal injury claim with the other driver’s insurance provider.
  • Making a demand and negotiating. If your lawyer believes the case can be settled without filing a lawsuit, they will submit a demand to the defendant’s counsel or their insurance company. Most personal injury cases resolve at this stage, without ever proceeding to court.
  • Filing a lawsuit. Should negotiations fail to yield a fair resolution, your legal team will file a lawsuit in court. Remember, it’s vital to initiate the suit before the statute of limitations expires in your state.
  • Discovery. Discovery is the phase where both sides exchange information regarding witnesses and evidence. This process typically commences after a lawsuit is filed and can continue for up to a year.
  • Mediation and trial. After discovery concludes, there is usually an opportunity to settle. Some cases resolve at this point, while others may move to mediation, where a neutral third party helps both sides seek a mutually acceptable agreement. If mediation fails, your case will proceed to trial, where a judge or jury will determine the final outcome.
