Construction Accidents

A construction site is naturally a hazardous environment, presenting constant risks to workers and visitors. If you or a member of your family has been injured in a construction accident, you have learned that workers' compensation benefits reimburse a worker for only part of missed wages, and provide no compensation for pain and suffering. Before becoming discouraged, however, you should contact an attorney with experience in similar claims. There may be additional sources of compensation available.

At Bosco, Bisignano & Mascolo, Esqs., our Staten Island personal injury firm, our attorneys use all of our firm's resources when representing a client injured in a scaffold fall or construction accident. Our verdicts and settlements include millions of dollars recovered for construction workers injured in roof falls, electrical accidents, crane and ladder falls, falling objects and other accidents. Cases we are prepared to handle include those involving the following factors:

Scaffold falls, including those where general contractors failed to inspect and properly install scaffolding and falls from unguarded walkways
Ladder falls and accidents caused by defective and dangerous power tools and heavy equipment, entitling the injured to defective products claims
Dangerous work site conditions entitling victims to premises liability claims
Crane accidents, falling objects, demolition accidents, explosions, foundation, wall or roof collapse
Accidents caused by OSHA violations
Violations of New York Labor Law sections 240 and 241
Industrial code violations
Defective machinery and tools
