Helping construction workers
recover lost wages, medical bills and more

Every day, construction workers put their lives and personal safety on the line. Simply by working on scaffolding, hoists, ladders, cranes, forklifts and bulldozers, workers can suffer severe personal injuries from falls, equipment, falling debris and more.

If you’re a construction worker hurt on the job, you can often bring a claim against property owners, general contractors and/or other entities responsible for your injuries. This claim can include damages for:

• Pain and suffering
• Lost wages
• Future medical care

Your rights under New York Labor Law, Sections 200, 240 and 241

What you may not know is that construction workers and their families have special legal rights under New York Labor Law, Sections 200, 240 and 241, which protect you from dangerous and unsafe working conditions. For example, New York Labor Law, Section 240, protects workers injured by "gravity-related accidents." This can apply to workers injured by a fall from a ladder, a scaffold, floor openings or a failed safety device.

Whether you’re union or non-union, O’Brien Boyd can help you understand your rights, and make sure you get justice.
