Bronx Construction Accidents Lawyers

Construction work is one of the most dangerous ways to earn a living.  Special laws have been passed to make work sites safe and to help injured workers obtain compensation.  Workers can be injured on job sites by falling from scaffolds, ladders or stilts or by falling through unprotected openings that do not have proper railings or safety lines. All trades, including carpenters, masons, HVAC workers, electricians and plumbers are at risk of slipping, tripping or falling on brick, tile, wood scraps or other debris left on the floor when a job site is not properly maintained.  Equipment like cherry pickers, cranes, fork lifts, scissor lifts and other kinds of hoists all have the potential to cause injury.

When construction workers are injured it is very important that they consult with a Bronx Construction Accident Lawyer who is familiar with the special Labor Laws that exist to give construction workers  special rights in a lawsuit.  In addition to being entitled to Workers’ Compensation benefits to pay for medical treatment and lost income, an injured worker may also be entitled to bring a separate law suit for personal injuries, pain and suffering and future income loss.  Because of special laws created to help injured workers, an injured worker can often sue the owner and general contractor at a job site as a way of increasing the chances of recovering compensation. 

An experienced attorney should be familiar with how things are done on a construction site, specific safety regulations concerning scaffolds and other equipment.  Marc Reibman has worked on construction sites and knows what goes on and how equipment works.  He can even hang a window.  An attorney who specializes in helping injured workers should also be able to interpret medical records so they can understand the significance of serious injuries like fractures, torn ligaments, and back injuries such as herniated discs.  Steven Weiner’s medical training as a licensed medical doctor provides him with specialized knowledge other lawyers do not have.  The team of Reibman & Weiner is unique and is ready to help you recover money for your construction site accident.
