In 2024, New York City’s Department of Buildings reported hundreds of construction-related incidents. Many are unaware that their rights extend beyond basic workers’ compensation benefits. New York State’s labor laws, particularly Sections 240 and 241, provide additional protections for construction workers that aren’t available in other states.
The Rybak Firm stands ready to protect your rights and advocate for your interests. Our construction accident attorney NYC brings decades of combined experience in construction accident litigation.
Types of Construction Accident Cases We Handle
We specialize in representing workers injured in all types of construction accidents across New York City:
- Falls from heights (labor law 240). New York’s “Scaffold Law” provides vital protection for workers injured in elevation-related accidents. We handle cases involving falls from scaffolding, rooftops, ladders, and other elevated work areas.
- Slip and fall accidents. Our firm represents workers injured by unmarked holes, scattered materials, unstable surfaces, and weather-related conditions.
- Scaffolding and ladder accidents. We have extensive experience with cases involving improperly assembled scaffolding, defective ladders, and violations of safety regulations.
- Equipment and machinery accidents. Modern construction relies heavily on equipment that can cause severe injuries when proper safety protocols aren’t followed. We handle cases involving crane accidents, forklift incidents, power tool injuries, and other equipment-related accidents.
- Falling object injuries. We represent workers injured by unsecured tools, falling debris, and improperly hoisted materials.
