INJURED AFTER FALLING FROM A ROOF?
In many falling accident cases, property owners are liable for serious injury or wrongful death and owe compensation in addition to any workers' compensation benefits you may receive. Our workplace injury attorneys can represent you in bringing all appropriate litigation to recover the award you are owed.
At TROLMAN GLASER CORLEY & LICHTMAN, P.C., we have experience handling cases involving scaffolding accidents, falls from roofs and failure to provide functioning safety devices. For more than 50 years, we have helped workers who have sustained:
- Head injury or brain injury (TBI)
- Back or spinal injury
- Broken bones or fractures
- Paralysis
We have experience handling both temporary and permanent disabilities. If you have fallen from a roof, ladder or scaffolding on a construction site, there are provisions covered under section 240 of the New York labor laws that can directly impact your case and your results. In this provision, liability is assigned to the owner of the property where you were hurt in a falling accident if any negligence on the part of the property owner is found.
What this means to you is that if you are injured in any falling accident on a construction site, it is important to talk to a lawyer who understands how to pursue New York City workplace accident cases.
