Prevalent Injuries in Construction Accidents
Construction accidents frequently result in severe, life-changing injuries. Some of the most common injuries we encounter in these cases include:
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
Falls or impacts from objects can cause TBIs with enduring cognitive and physical repercussions.
Spinal Cord Trauma
Harm to the spinal cord may result in partial or complete paralysis, dramatically altering a victim's life trajectory.
Bone Fractures and Breaks
The intense force of construction accidents often leads to multiple fractures requiring extensive medical intervention.
Amputation Trauma
Crushing incidents or equipment malfunctions may necessitate limb amputation, resulting in permanent disability.
Burn Trauma
Electrical accidents, fires, or chemical exposure can inflict severe burns with long-lasting consequences.
Respiratory Ailments
Exposure to toxic substances or particulates can lead to chronic respiratory conditions impacting long-term health.
Pursuing Compensation for Your Construction Accident Claim
Construction accidents often impose significant financial strain. You may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical Expenses: Including hospital charges, surgical procedures, medications, and future treatment requirements
- Lost Income: For time away from work due to your injuries
- Diminished Earning Capacity: If your injuries prevent you from resuming your construction career
- Pain and Suffering: For the physical and emotional toll of your injuries
- Reduced Quality of Life: If your injuries have restricted your ability to engage in activities you once enjoyed
Insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts, particularly for non-economic damages like pain and suffering. Our NYC construction accident specialists will vigorously pursue maximum compensation for you.

"From day one, I was confident in my choice to have Paul Hofmann represent me in my lawsuit. He has many years of experience, knowledge, and proven success with cases similar to mine, but most importantly, his integrity, professionalism, and pride in what he does are over the top! Paul worked diligently and aggressively right from the very first day. He always took the time to answer my questions and alleviate my concerns throughout the entire process, which included many of them. I remain grateful and have the utmost respect for Paul Hofmann for all his tireless work and personal commitment to the end. Paul told me the most rewarding part of the process is hearing from his clients and knowing they are living the best life possible long after their case is resolved. So we plan to do just that!"
