Construction Site Ladder Falls Overview

Exercise Your Rights After New York Construction Site Ladder Falls

Anyone working on a construction project in New York is protected by special labor laws. If you were injured in a fall from a ladder, you deserve to be compensated for your medical bills, lost wages and other damages.

When Workers Fall From Ladders at New York Construction Sites

Section 240 of the New York Labor Law offers special protection to construction workers in this state. Contractors and property owners are 100 percent liable for injuries caused by ladder falls. However, they often try to claim that injured workers are at fault because they:

·         Chose to climb the ladder

·         Did not have a co-worker holding the ladder on the ground

·         Did not secure themselves properly to the ladder

None of these excuses change the fact that the property owner and contractor are completely responsible for your compensation. The experienced personal injury lawyers at Powers & Santola, LLP, will aggressively protect your rights when the people who are liable for your injuries try to shirk their responsibility.
