New York Construction Accident Injury Lawyers

Were You Injured on a Construction Job? Let Us Help.

Sections 200, 240 and 241 of the New York Labor Law have been the protectors of construction workers on job sites in New York for more than 100 years. Under the law, employers have an obligation to protect the safety of their employees. The law is enforceable equally against property owners, construction company employers and general contractors. Over the past several years, however, the courts have increasingly been narrowing the scope of the protection afforded to workers, in part because of economic pressures on builders.

We go beyond workers' compensation to fight for maximum damages

The economic disparity between the individual construction worker and the owner of the construction company is very large. As an employee, you may feel as if your only option after being injured in a construction site accident is to file for workers' compensation or disability. At Kahn, Gordon, Timko & Rodriques, P.C., in New York, we stand up and fight toe-to-toe with insurance companies that insure crane contractors, scaffolding companies, property owners and subcontractors who may be held liable for your injuries. Our trial attorneys work with your workers' comp lawyer to help you obtain maximum recovery from third parties who may be proven negligent.

We have helped non-union construction workers and union members who work in a full range of New York building and construction trades:

  • Painters
  • Ironworkers, welders and sheet metal workers
  • Carpenters, carpet layers and cabinet makers
  • Electrical workers and plumbers
  • Construction truck drivers
  • All other construction trades
