Who is Responsible for Keeping New York Construction Workers Safe?

As a New York construction worker you are well aware of the dangers you face every time you go to work, but do you know who may be legally responsible if you are injured in a construction accident?

It is important to identify the proper defendant(s) so that you can recover the damages to which you are legally entitled. For example, if it was your employer who caused your injuries, then your recovery may be limited by New York workers' compensation laws. However, if a third party, such as an equipment manufacturer, caused your injuries, then you may be entitled to more extensive damages. Your New York construction accident lawyer will review all of the circumstances of your case with you and determine whether you have a possible cause of action against a:
  • Property owner
  • Contractor
  • Subcontractor
  • Equipment manufacturer
  • Government inspector
  • Other party

Why You Need to Identify the Proper Defendant(s)

If you fail to name the proper defendant(s) in your lawsuit, then the case may be dismissed and you may not recover damages. However, if you name the right defendant(s) - the ones who caused your injuries through their negligent or deliberate actions - then you may be able to recover damages for your injuries. Damages may include compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, out-of-pocket expenses and pain and suffering, depending on who caused your injuries.
