A catastrophic personal injury can happen all too often on construction sites. Workers on these projects understand the inherent risks associated with their jobs.

Under New York Labor Law Section 240, workers and their families can hold responsible parties accountable for a severe head injury, spinal cord injury or other serious injury caused on a construction site.

A catastrophic personal injury differs from a more common injury, in that these types of injuries have long-term effects. Many people never fully recover - they simply need to cope with the lifelong affects. Given the long-term consequences of these catastrophic personal injuries (such as long-term medical treatment and other long-term needs), you need additional monetary compensation which can alleviate the financial impact of the injury. We will aggressively pursue the money necessary for you to deal with a serious accident.
