What does New York Law Say About Construction Accident Claims?
New York State has laws that offer vital protections for workers on construction sites and similar jobs. When a property owner or general contractor does not maintain a site, including providing proper, safe equipment and hiring trained workers, others could suffer serious injuries.
Significant among these laws are those that address injuries caused by falls from an elevated height, such as from a ladder or scaffold. This is among the most common causes of injuries in construction injury accidents.
Under New York State Labor Law § 240, known as “The Scaffold Law,”, we hold liable parties legally responsible for these “gravity related,” construction accident injuries, even if there was no negligence on their part. This could include:
- The owner of the site
- The general contractor
Any worker injured on a construction site in an accident covered by these laws may qualify. This includes skilled artisans, unskilled laborers, and undocumented workers.

We Need to Act Now to Get Started on a Nassau County Construction Injury Claim
There are strict deadlines that generally apply to filing a lawsuit in New York. Under New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214, we only have a limited time to sue the general contractor or property owner if that is necessary in your case. If the liable party is a government agency, we could have even less time.
In addition to the statute of limitations and other legal deadlines, there are also vitally important practical deadlines we need to be aware of as we move forward with your claim. This includes the short lifespan of many types of evidence, including:
- The memories of eyewitnesses
- Video of the incident
- Physical evidence
- Many other types of proof
If we do not act quickly, this evidence of what happened could disappear before we gather and analyze it, weakening your case.
If applicable, we will work closely with your workers’ compensation attorney, who may have deadlines they must meet, as well. Ensuring you meet all necessary timelines is vital for protecting your rights in a construction accident case.
