How do workers get hurt on Queens construction sites?

Construction is a dangerous job, and workers can be hurt in many ways. Common types of construction accidents include:

Falls from heights – Construction workers often work at elevated positions, such as on scaffolding, ladders, or rooftops, and can fall when safety protocols aren’t followed.
Struck by objects – Workers may be struck by falling objects or materials, such as tools, debris, or building materials, causing head injuries, fractures, or internal injuries.
Machinery accidents – Operating heavy machinery and equipment on construction sites can pose risks, including entanglement, caught-in/between accidents, or being struck by moving parts, leading to severe injuries or amputations.
Slips, trips, and falls – Uneven surfaces, slippery conditions, or inadequate lighting can cause workers to slip, trip, or fall on construction sites, resulting in sprains, fractures, or head injuries.
Electrical accidents – Contact with live wires or faulty electrical equipment can cause electrical shocks, burns, or electrocution.
Trench or excavation collapses – Workers involved in excavation or trenching activities can be at risk of cave-ins or collapses, which can lead to burial injuries, suffocation, or crush injuries.
Accidents with power tools – An accident with power tools such as saws, drills, or nail guns can result in lacerations, amputations, or eye injuries.
Chemical exposure – Workers in construction may be exposed to hazardous chemicals, such as asbestos, lead, or solvents, which can cause respiratory problems, chemical burns, or long-term health effects.
Overexertion and strain – Construction work often involves manual labor, heavy lifting, repetitive motions, or working in awkward positions, which can lead to musculoskeletal injuries, strains, or sprains.
Vehicle accidents – Accidents involving construction vehicles or collisions between vehicles and workers can result in serious injuries or fatalities.

When construction workers are injured on the job, they deserve workers’ compensation benefits. But the claims process can be complicated. Employers and insurance companies may dispute injuries and claims can be denied.

That’s why you need an experienced construction accident lawyer to fight for you. Our firm knows the workers’ compensation laws in New York and is very familiar with how the system works. We know how to build a strong case for benefits and can help you navigate the claims process every step of the way.
