New York City Construction Accident Claim Attorney
Pursue a Third Party Claim for Full Compensation
Workers who are injured in a construction accident are able to file for workers' comp benefits in order to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages and other damages. However, many times, construction accidents result in severe, catastrophic injuries. When an individual suffers from such a severe injury, such as amputation or disfigurement, workers' compensation benefits will be insufficient to fully compensate the individual.

Construction sites are constantly in motion. Different subcontractors, suppliers and other individuals enter and leave the site on a daily basis. There is an increased risk for dangerous conditions to arise. For example:
- A subcontractor may leave tools scattered after leaving the job
- A crane operator may swing the beam into adjacent work areas
- A forklift operator may crash into scaffolding
- A negligent manufacturer may supply defective machinery or power tools
- A negligent third party company may improperly construct the scaffolding
As an experienced construction accident attorney, Seth I. Katz thoroughly investigates all aspects of the construction site and the accident. We locate all parties who may have been present or involved in the accident in order to prepare solid third party claims against responsible parties. These cases often involve product liability claims, premises liability claims and other third party liability claims.
Under Section 240 and 241 of New York Labor Laws, various parties may be held responsible for injuries caused in construction accidents, such as property owners, general contractors, subcontractors, product manufacturers and other parties. Learn more about who may be responsible for your injuries.
