When Do You Have a Case After a Farmingdale Construction Accident?

Not every injury on a job site points to a claim. Sometimes, worksite injuries are handled only through workers’ compensation. Workers’ comp, however, has its limits. When a violation of safety regulations leads to an injury, you may have grounds to pursue compensation from the party or parties responsible. Most of the cases we investigate involve:

• Falls: Incidents involving collapsed scaffolds or falls through unmarked floor openings could point to missing precautions.
• Struck-by accidents: This category includes falling tools, building materials, or debris when a site lacks proper barricades or overhead protection.
• Equipment failures: Equipment failures are often caused by improper use or poor maintenance.
• Site hazards: Trench collapses and unstable ground conditions can cause cave-ins and other serious events that put workers at risk when a site fails to follow basic safety protocols.
• Human error: Sometimes, preventable accidents stem from inadequate training, insufficient supervision, and a failure to provide required safety equipment.

Farmingdale and the surrounding areas are no strangers to construction sites with new housing developments, downtown improvement, and projects along Route 110 in the works. With so many projects going on, it only takes one company cutting corners to hurt someone who has nothing to do with its mistake. Our Farmingdale construction accident lawyers investigate what happened and determine who should be held responsible.

Working for New Yorkers for Over 35 Years

Construction accidents happen to people in the middle of an ordinary day at work, and the aftermath rarely stays contained to just the injury. We have sat across from enough clients in that exact position to know it is not just a legal problem; it is a life that has been knocked off course. Since 1991, we have recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for our clients in the fight for much-needed compensation. In one case, we recovered $1.5 million for a building superintendent who injured his back walking across a construction plank. In another, a laborer working on the Time-Warner Center construction project suffered back and knee injuries in a fall, and we secured $1.25 million on his behalf. If you got hurt because a site wasn't as safe as it should have been, please contact our team. We are here to fight for you and your interests every step of the way.

After a Farmingdale Construction Accident, We Seek Compensation for All of Your Losses

Construction accidents introduce some of the most severe and challenging injuries we see in our line of work. Many injuries require months, if not years, of recovery. Some injuries may never fully heal, permanently affecting the lives of victims. We know how difficult this can be, and our Farmingdale construction accident lawyers are here to seek compensation that addresses your losses, including:

• Current and future expenses related to your medical care
• Any income you have lost during recovery
• Any lost earning potential, if your injuries prevent you from doing the job you once held
• Emotional damages and pain and suffering related to your injuries and harm

Insurance companies are not always in a hurry to move your claim forward. The longer they wait, the better it usually is for them, not you. New York also only gives you a limited amount of time to take legal action, and evidence like eyewitness statements or surveillance footage does not last forever either. Call us early, and we can start working before any of that becomes a problem. The sooner you reach out to us, the greater our opportunity to build the strongest case possible for you.
