Why Hiring a Construction Accident Lawyer in New York is Critical After a Job Site Injury
Construction is one of New York’s most vital—and dangerous—industries. Whether you’re working at a high-rise project in Manhattan or a neighborhood renovation in Brooklyn, one serious accident can change your life forever.
At the Law Offices of G. Oliver Koppell, we represent injured construction workers, subcontractors, and even passersby harmed by unsafe conditions. Common construction accident cases include:
- Falls from scaffolding or ladders
- Electrical shocks
- Equipment failures or machinery malfunctions
- Falling objects and debris
- Explosions and burns
While many assume workers’ compensation is their only option, that isn’t always the case. If a third party – such as a general contractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer—played a role in your injury, you may be entitled to file a personal injury lawsuit in addition to a workers’ comp claim.
Our experienced construction accident lawyers help clients:
- Investigate job site conditions and OSHA violations
- Identify all potential defendants
- Collect expert medical and safety testimony
- Maximize recovery for medical bills, lost income, and long-term care
Construction accident claims can involve multiple layers of liability and aggressive insurance companies. We fight tirelessly to hold those responsible accountable – whether through settlement or trial.
