    Fearless Attorneys Who Pursue New York Construction Injury Workers Comp Benefits and Third-Party Claims

    At the Law Offices of Pasternack Tilker Ziegler Walsh Stanton & Romano, LLP, we know the catastrophic effects construction accidents can have on your life. We also know New York scaffolding law and workers compensation law inside and out, and that workers compensation insurance companies will often downplay construction site injuries. But building site accidents can result in any number of life-changing injuries, including paralysis, coma, spinal cord injury such as a crushed spine, shoulder and neck injury or traumatic brain injury, and a long list of injuries requiring surgery.

    Your injury may require surgery or physical therapy. You may be out of work for weeks or months. You might have to see a specialist or get a second opinion. Your job is to get the medical care you need, follow your doctor's instructions, and focus on healing. We'll take care of the rest.

    The firm treated me with respect and dignity and handle all my workers comp issues with ease. I highly recommended them. Thank you.

    The "Fatal Four" Types of Construction Accidents: 1. Falls — unprotected sides, holes, walking surfaces, ladders, roofs, scaffolding. 2. Struck by Object — falling objects and being struck by equipment or machines. 3. Electrocution — contact with power lines, electrified equipment, extension cords, and lightning. 4. Caught-In or Caught-Between — moving and rotating equipment, trench collapse, and building collapse.

    Safety Violations on Construction Sites Can Mean Debilitating Injury, Even Death

    Dangerous safety violations and lack of protective gear on construction sites can mean severe construction site injuries. Employers should provide every form of safety gear needed to protect workers, including hard hats, goggles and other eye protection, earplugs, headphones and other ear protection, steel-toed boots, and utility insulated gloves.

    Unfortunately, with a lack of essential protective gear and poor safety training at many building sites, we are never surprised at the construction site accident cases we see.

    If it's a power tool accident or heavy machine injury, it doesn't matter what brand or equipment manufacturer was involved-Link-Belt, DeWalt, Caterpillar, Bobcat, Komatsu, Volvo, Case, Makita, Kubota, Black & Decker, or any of the hundreds of power tool companies that exist. Heavy equipment accidents and fatalities can happen, particularly due to disrepair, if proper inspections and scheduled maintenance are not followed according to OSHA regulations.

    My experience with this Law Firm has been great. They are always helpful and knowledgable in any matter and listening to all your concerns. My Paralegal Thomas, staff and all the Attorneys at the Firm always do a great job protecting your rights as a worker and making sure all your compensation benefits get justice and compensated. Thank you so very much. I am very happy with all the support from everyone.

    Your legal options after a construction accident in New York: 1. File a workers' compensation claim — pays the full cost of your medical expenses and partial lost wages, regardless of fault; if you have a permanent injury, you may be eligible for loss of use benefits. 2. File a third-party claim — if your accident was caused by a third party other than your direct employer, such as a property owner, general contractor, subcontractor, architect, engineer, or equipment manufacturer, you can file a third-party personal injury lawsuit for damages not covered by workers' comp, such as pain and suffering. 3. The Scaffold Law (Labor Law 240) — New York Law makes property owners and general contractors strictly liable for gravity-related accidents, such as falls from heights and being struck by falling objects.
    The best decision I made…was hiring Pasternack Tilker, their care and fast response made it easy.
