Construction workers in New York face dangerous conditions every day. Despite the state and federal laws that govern job sites, thousands of construction workers are injured or killed on the job each year. Employers and contractors have a legal responsibility to provide a safe working environment and to make sure safety precautions are taken at all times.
Under New York personal injury law, construction accident victims are entitled to compensation when the accident was the result of another person’s negligence. The construction accident attorneys at The Raimondo Law Firm have helped hundreds of clients recover for their pain and suffering, psychological distress, medical expenses, rehabilitation, and lost wages.

Common Causes of Construction Accidents
A construction accident is rarely just bad luck. The cases we handle most often come down to conditions and decisions someone else controlled:
- Falls from heights, and scaffolding and ladder accidents
- Being struck by falling objects or moving equipment
- Crane, forklift and other vehicle accidents on site
- Trench and structure collapses
- Electrocution, explosions and fires
- Defective, broken or malfunctioning tools, equipment or machines
- Exposure to hazardous or toxic materials, gases or chemicals
- Slip, trip and fall hazards and unsafe site conditions
- Missing safety equipment, warning signs or training
- Failure to follow safety rules and protocol
Who Can Be Held Responsible
If you or a loved one was hurt while working on a construction site, you may be entitled to sue the contractor, the construction company, an agent, or the property owner for monetary damages. Figuring out who controlled the site — and whose negligence caused the accident — is often the heart of the case, and it is where nearly 40 years of New York injury practice matters.
