Common construction accidents that we see in New York State include falls from a height, which often happen when workers are on scaffolding, ladders, or elevated platforms without proper fall protection.We also see items falling from a height, like tools or materials that aren’t properly secured, striking someone below and causing serious injuries.

Very commonly, there are slips, trips, and falls on the job site. These sites are just full of tools, materials, debris, and uneven surfaces. It’s very easy for someone to overlook a hazard or be negligent about cleaning up or securing equipment.These types of conditions can lead to broken bones, head injuries, and other significant harm. That’s why it’s so important for contractors and property owners to follow strict safety protocols and for injured workers to consult an attorney right away to protect their rights.
