Injured on a Construction Site in NYC? I Can Help.

Construction is one of the most dangerous jobs in New York City—and when something goes wrong, the injuries are often serious. I help construction workers who’ve been hurt on the job, especially in falls, equipment failures, and unsafe working conditions. Whether you were on a ladder, a scaffold, or walking through an active site, I’ll work to get you compensated.

Falls, Tools, Heavy Machinery & Safety Violations

I represent injured workers in cases involving:

  • Falls from scaffolding, roofs, or ladders
  • Injuries from falling objects
  • Electrocutions and burns
  • Crane, forklift, or hoist accidents
  • Collapsing trenches or walkways
  • Defective safety equipment
  • Poor site supervision or missing safety rails

If your injury happened because someone cut corners or didn’t follow basic safety rules, we’ll get to the bottom of it.

You May Be Able to File More Than Just Workers’ Comp

Most people think their only option is filing a workers’ compensation claim. But in many NYC construction cases, you can also file a third-party injury lawsuit. That’s because New York has special labor laws—like Labor Law 240 (the “Scaffold Law”)—that protect workers when proper safety gear isn’t provided.


These laws apply even if you’re not a union worker, and even if you’re undocumented. I’ll explain exactly what you qualify for and how to move forward.

You Handle Recovery—I'll Handle the Paperwork & Pressure

I take on:

  • Investigating the job site and accident conditions
  • Getting safety inspection reports and witness statements
  • Filing claims with contractors, property owners, or equipment companies
  • Negotiating settlements—or going to court when needed
  • Making sure your family is financially protected while you recover


You’ll deal directly with me—not an assistant or paralegal.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I still sue if I already filed for workers’ comp?

    Yes. If someone other than your employer—like a general contractor, property owner, or subcontractor—was responsible, you can file a personal injury claim alongside your workers’ comp.

  • What is New York Labor Law 240?

    Labor Law 240, also called the Scaffold Law, protects workers who fall from heights or are hit by falling objects due to missing or defective safety devices. It gives you the right to sue the responsible parties.

  • What if I didn’t report the accident right away?

    It’s better to report it quickly, but you may still have a case. Let me review the facts and see how to document what happened.

  • Do I have a case if I was using faulty equipment?

    Yes. If the equipment was defective or unsafe, and your employer or the manufacturer failed to warn you or maintain it, you could have a claim.

  • Can I still file a lawsuit if I’m undocumented?

    Yes. Your immigration status doesn’t prevent you from filing a personal injury claim in New York. You still have rights under labor laws.
