Inadequate Safety Protections

State laws and statutes govern every phase of a construction project. They regulate what safety protection should be used at the different stages of construction. Entities supervising a construction project must comply with every safety requirement set forth by laws such as the New York Industrial Code.

Many times owners, site developers, general contractors and even subcontractors compromise the safety of the workers in order to save on costs. They provide workers with safety protections that do not comply with the law or they do not provide the workers with any safety measures at all. Such practices have resulted in permanent injuries and even death to many construction site workers.

Our attorneys have extensive experience defending the rights of workers injured at construction sites. We work with teams of construction site experts, engineers and site investigators to determine where the worker's safety was compromised. We also work with many doctors, surgeons, physical therapists, and hospitals in New York and New Jersey to ensure proper medical recovery for the injured worker.

If you or a loved one has been severely injured due to working with inadequate safety protections, please call us for immediate attention at 1-888-GINARTE.
