Ostrer Rosenwasser, LLP
New York Labor Injury Attorneys
New York State law provides special protection for workers who are injured in falls from heights caused by the failure of safety equipment, regardless of whether a ladder, scaffold, or harness was involved. Contact the Hudson Valley Ladder Scaffolding Accident attorneys of Ostrer Rosenwasser, LLP to find out how we can help you recover damages caused by your accident.
Most workplace injury situations are covered by worker's compensation, which allows for relatively fast and certain recovery for lost wages and medical treatment. While worker's compensation does not allow the injured worker to recover damages for the negligence of the worker's employer or a fellow employee, a review of your case may disclose a third party who may be liable for your damages. To have your case reviewed, in detail, to determine if you have a third party claim, contact the Hudson Valley workplace injury Lawyers at Ostrer Rosenwasser, LLP.
The Hudson Valley construction injury attorneys of Ostrer Rosenwasser, LLP can evaluate your situation and advise you whether you have the right to sue a building site owner or contractor if you have been injured in a fall from a ladder or a scaffold, or if you suffered a closed head injury or brain trauma caused by a falling object at work.
In a qualifying case under Section 240 of the New York State Labor Law, a worker injured in a fall or by a falling object has the right to recover his or her full damages from the property owner or contractor. These damages can include not only lost wages and medical care, but also compensation for pain and suffering, future medical care and physical therapy, and training for a new occupation.
