Construction Workplace Injury Attorneys Serving Brooklyn, the Bronx & West Babylon

A serious construction site injury can leave you facing mounting medical bills, lost income, and uncertainty about your future. While workers' compensation may provide important benefits, it is not always the only legal remedy available. Edward R. Young & Associates helps injured construction workers throughout Brooklyn, the Bronx, West Babylon, and surrounding New York communities understand their rights and pursue every available source of compensation.

Understanding Your Legal Options

Many injured construction workers assume workers' compensation is their only option. Depending on how the accident occurred, however, you may also have a personal injury claim against a property owner, general contractor, subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or another party whose negligence contributed to the accident.

Determining what claims may be available requires a careful investigation of the accident, the job site, and the parties responsible for maintaining a safe work environment.

Common Construction Workplace Accidents

Edward R. Young & Associates represents workers injured in accidents involving:

• Falls from ladders, scaffolds, roofs, and elevated work areas
• Falling tools, debris, and building materials
• Crane, forklift, and heavy equipment accidents
• Electrical accidents and burn injuries
• Defective ladders, scaffolds, machinery, or safety equipment
• Unsafe stairways, elevator shafts, trenches, and floor openings
• Exposure to hazardous substances and unsafe work conditions

Construction Injury Cases Require Experience

Construction accident claims often involve multiple responsible parties, overlapping insurance coverage, and New York labor laws that provide important protections for injured workers. Preserving evidence and identifying every potentially liable party are critical to building a strong claim.

Edward R. Young brings a unique perspective to these cases. Having grown up in a family construction business and worked as an apprentice plumber while attending law school at New York University, he understands the realities of construction work and the challenges injured workers face after a serious accident.

Compensation After a Construction Site Injury

Depending on the facts of your case, compensation may include:

• Current and future medical expenses
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Rehabilitation and long-term medical care
• Pain and suffering
• Other damages available under New York law

Because construction sites change quickly and important evidence may be lost, speaking with an attorney soon after an accident can help protect your rights and preserve your claim.
