Strict Liability for Your Damages in New York Construction Accidents

WORK LAW 200

Owners and contractors are required by Labor Law 200 to make sure that building sites are safe places for workers to be protected from dangers. Workers may hold contractors or site owners accountable if they are hurt on a hazardous construction site.

240 LABOR LAW

Labor Law 240, sometimes referred to as the “Scaffold Law,” establishes stringent guidelines for employees working in high-altitude environments, including tall buildings, ladders, and scaffolds.

In the event that an accident occurs and the worker is not adequately protected, they may be entitled to compensation from the outside companies who supplied safety equipment or oversaw the project.

WORK LAW 241

The safety regulations and tools required for excavation, demolition, and other construction activities are outlined in Labor Law 241. A worker may sue the participating contractors if safety precautions are not followed and they are hurt on the job.

According to New York labor regulations, it is possible to seek both increased safety standards and individual compensation in the event of construction accidents brought on by carelessness.

Compensation Types For Injuries From Construction Accidents

Health Care Costs

Should you sustain an injury at work, you have the right to hold the responsible party—the person or business—liable for your medical bills and any subsequent costs.

Anguish and Pain

Both psychological distress and physical harm may have a detrimental impact on your quality of life. To be paid for mental suffering, you might make a claim against the person who caused the injury.
