On a daily basis, people around the world are going to their places of employment to do the jobs for which they were hired. For some individuals, those occupations require sitting behind a desk or stocking shelves at the local grocery store. In other situations such as construction work, the jobs require intense physical labor completed by construction workers.
Construction sites are widely regarded as the top of the list when it comes to hazardous locations at which to work. At a construction site, there is heavy machinery, sharp objects, loud noises, and the potential for a wide variety of construction accidents. There are, of course, state and federal laws and regulations in place that are designed to prevent construction accidents from occurring, but these rules are often ignored or insufficient to fully protect workers from being injured on the construction site.
When a New York construction worker becomes injured on a construction site as a result of negligence or recklessness on the part of another worker, the management, or the owner of the company, that injured worker deserves to fight for compensation for his injuries, damages, and losses.
Although construction site accident cases may seem fairly straightforward, they can become complicated very quickly, and it is important that victims do not put their workers’ compensation benefits at risk.

In the construction industry, the circumstances of an accident will determine the types of compensation that an injured worker may be eligible to receive.
