  2. Introduction Construction accidents are common in New York. By gathering sufficient evidence and consulting with an experienced construction accident lawyer, victims can effectively prove negligence and seek rightful compensation.

  3. Falls from Heights Falls from scaffolding, ladders, or roofs are among the leading causes of construction site injuries. To establish liability, evidence such as safety violations, lack of proper fall protection equipment, and witness statements can be crucial in proving negligence.

  4. Struck-by Objects Being hit by falling tools, materials, or heavy equipment is a frequent hazard. Proving liability involves demonstrating that the site lacked proper safety protocols, such as securing loose objects and providing workers with appropriate head protection.

  5. Electrocutions Exposed wiring, faulty electrical equipment, and contact with power lines pose significant risks. Liability can be established by showing that the employer failed to follow OSHA guidelines, neglected proper training, or did not provide adequate protective gear.

  6. Caught-between Accidents Workers can get trapped between heavy machinery or materials, leading to severe injuries. Evidence such as machinery maintenance records, safety inspection reports, and eyewitness testimonies can help establish fault.

  7. Slips, Trips, and Falls Uneven surfaces, debris, and wet conditions can cause slip-and-fall accidents. Proving liability often requires demonstrating that the site was not properly maintained or that warning signs were missing in hazardous areas.

  8. Machinery Accidents Defective or poorly maintained equipment can lead to catastrophic injuries. Liability can be proven through maintenance logs, manufacturer defect reports, and expert testimony on proper usage and safety standards.
