Ladder Accident Attorneys Serving Brooklyn, the Bronx & West Babylon

Ladder accident attorney representing an injured construction worker

Ladder falls can cause serious injuries for construction workers, painters, maintenance workers, contractors, and others who work at heights. Even a fall from a short distance can lead to broken bones, head injuries, spinal injuries, long-term pain, and time away from work. Edward R. Young & Associates represents injured workers throughout Brooklyn, the Bronx, West Babylon, and surrounding New York communities.

Experienced Representation for Ladder Accident Claims

Ladder accident cases often involve more than the fall itself. A ladder may have been defective, improperly placed, unstable, unsecured, or unsuitable for the work being performed. The surrounding work area may also have been unsafe.

These claims may involve New York labor laws and other protections for workers injured in elevation-related accidents. Edward R. Young & Associates works to investigate the accident, preserve evidence, identify responsible parties, and pursue the compensation available under the law.
