Bronx Construction Site Accident Attorneys
Construction Accident Lawyers

Bass and Rubinowitz handle a variety of construction accident cases, including elevator accidents, scaffolding accidents, defective machinery accidents, and crane accidents, that often involve injuries such as spinal cord and back injuries, amputations, crushed limbs, burns, traumatic brain injuries, paraplegia and quadriplegia.

Every year thousands of laborers are killed or seriously injured while working at construction sites. This occurs even though many state and federal regulations, as well as industry standards, require owners, general contractors and sub-contractors to implement a wide variety of safety measures.

Although workers' compensation aids employees while injured on the job, it is usually not sufficient to fully compensate injured workers for all damages sustained as a result of their work-related accident.

Under New York State Law, employees cannot sue their employers for damages sustained as a result of a work-related accident. In order to receive reasonable compensation for their injuries, workers must commence third-party lawsuits against parties other than their employer. Owners of property, general contractors, sub- contractors, architects, even equipment manufacturers may be held responsible when a construction site accident occurs. In addition to workers' compensation benefits, additional damages that can be recovered in third-party lawsuits include pain and suffering, additional wage loss benefits, additional medical benefits and loss of consortium.

Our construction litigation department has been handling complex construction accident cases for years and has a vast degree of knowledge about New York State Labor Law and the Industrial Code.

We do not merely handle cases. We represent real people with real problems on an individual basis. We handle claims in which people have suffered financial loss, personal injuries or even death as a result of negligence.
