Construction Accident Information Center

New York Labor Law Sections 240 and 241, are known as the "safe place to work" or the "scaffold" laws. These sections have been law since the late 1800s, and they state that if a worker is injured in a New York construction accident as a result of falling from a height or as the result of being hit with something that falls from a height, the owner and the contractor are responsible. This is true whether or not the worker was at fault or refused to use safety equipment. These laws exist to make certain that all workers have a safe place to work especially on construction sites, which are already dangerous because of what's going on there.

If you or a loved one has suffered from a Construction Accident/Injury, you may have the legal right to seek compensation for your medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other damages.
