What Our Bronx Construction Accident Lawyers Can Do for You
Construction workers in the Bronx rely on our accident injury lawyers to build a strong case while they focus on healing from their trauma. When preparing your accident claim, our attorneys will:
- Obtain witness statements, incident records, photos, and OSHA reports
- Investigate the facts and circumstances of your accident
- Assemble evidence to prove how the other party is liable
- Gather all medical and hospital records

Injured workers suffer twice after a worksite accident. First, they have to deal with the ongoing physical and emotional pain from their injuries. Second, they have to deal with the economic damage in unpaid lost wages and medical bills.
The combination of physical injuries and financial strain is overwhelming. But by taking legal action with our personal injury law firm, you can seek to eliminate the financial burden and collect a fair construction accident settlement or jury award.
Bronx Construction Accidents Can Lead to Wrongful Death
Data from the National Safety Council (NCS) shows that 39,100 people suffered injuries due to work zone crashes in 2019. A work zone crash is any motor vehicle collision within the boundaries of a worksite, including construction areas. The NCS also reported 842 work zone fatalities, and 479 of the deaths occurred in construction zones.
Our construction site accident lawyers can file a wrongful death claim if you lost a loved one due to a negligence that led to an accident. Our attorneys fight for financial justice, and we pursue damages to cover pain and suffering, funeral expenses, loss of consortium, and loss of parental guidance. We handle your claim so you can focus on healing from your trauma.
We Secure Financial Recovery for Construction Workers in the Bronx
While most cases result in a settlement agreement, each case we accept is handled as if we must go to trial. Our promise is that we will never settle your case without your permission. We pursue the highest monetary settlement throughout the litigation process, and we base your payout on the circumstances and nature of your physical, emotional, and economic damages.
Our Bronx construction accident lawyers believe that you have a right to obtain financial relief that is fair and just after your construction accident. Therefore, we can assist you in recovering damages for:
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Unpaid wages and overtime pay
- Medical bills from the accident date to present-day
- Future medical expenses
- Loss of pension benefits and future earnings
- Mental anguish
- Permanent scarring
- Disfigurement
- Any other expenses connected to the construction accident, such as renovating your home and vehicle to be wheelchair-friendly
If you incurred losses in a construction accident, our personal injury lawyers are ready to seek justice on your behalf.
You Have a Legal Right to Hire a Lawyer
New York laws protect injured construction workers. Injury victims who are not aware of these laws can make poor decisions following an accident. For example, employers may encourage their employees not to pursue a claim in exchange for a few weeks of pay.
Don’t let this happen to you. Our team of lawyers thrives on procuring justice for those who sustained injuries due to the negligence of others. First, we can analyze your case and value the extent of your damages. Then we make sure the liable party or their insurance company agrees to a settlement that allows you to recoup every loss sustained due to the accident or proceed to trial in order to seek such an award from a jury on your behalf.
Take Quick Action After a Construction Accident
New York Law limits the time that you have to bring a lawsuit regarding a construction accident. If you fail to take action within the legal deadline, the courts can bar you from obtaining monetary compensation regardless of the strength of your case.
Simply put: don’t delay in seeking legal representation. In addition to meeting your statute of limitations, other reasons to take swift action include:
- Evidence can be destroyed, memories can fade, and witnesses can become harder to track down
- Necessary inspections of the accident site and conditions present need to be performed
- A case takes time to build
Therefore, the sooner you call us, the faster our construction accident lawyers can get to work on your claim.

These are not the only types of driving behaviors that can lead to accidents. Other negligent or dangerous driving can involve driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, disregarding traffic signs and signals, aggressive driving, making improper turns, and backing up unsafely.

- Rear-end collisions
- Head-on crashes
- Sideswipe and T-bone accidents
- Rollovers
- Hit-and-run
- Drunk driving accidents
At Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP, our team knows how to identify the causes and thus the liable parties in auto accidents so that we can pursue proper claims and lawsuits against them. While drivers are the most common cause of accidents, other liable parties can include the manufacturers of defective vehicles and their parts and government entities responsible for road maintenance and safety.
Injuries in Car Accidents
Injuries sustained in car accidents can range from minor to horrific. These can include:
- Minor or severe whiplash
- Cuts, bruises, sprains, and torn ligaments
- Broken bones
- Concussions
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Burns
- Loss of limbs
In the most tragic cases, car accidents can result in wrongful death, leaving behind shocked and grieving families who must carry on without the love, support, companionship, and financial or household resources of the person they lost.
In car accident cases, hospital charges alone can bankrupt families. In a report by New York’s health department, an average of $43 million was spent on motor vehicle traffic injury hospital charges in the Bronx from the years of 2012-2014.

Common Reasons for Construction Accidents
When construction sites are not adequately maintained, construction workers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and motor vehicle drivers are at risk of severe injuries and wrongful death.
Construction managers and companies have a duty to secure a safe workplace for their workers and individuals in the vicinity. The failure to take necessary steps in order to prevent construction accidents is often a violation of the New York State Labor Law and/or negligence which makes property owners, contractors, and construction managers liable for any injuries a victim incurs due to the incident.
In the Bronx, construction accidents commonly stem from:
- Inadequate scaffolds or ladders: Scaffolds and ladders elevate construction workers and their equipment so they can perform work in specific areas. Poorly constructed scaffolds and ladders put workers and nearby workers or pedestrians at risk of injury.
- Failure to provide necessary safety devices: The failure to provide adequate safety devices such as safety harnesses or life lines put those working at elevated worksites at risk of injury.
- Failure to secure material or tools: The failure to secure construction materials and tools at elevated worksites put construction workers working in the vicinity and pedestrians at risk of being struck by failing materials and tools.
- Improper construction fencing: Work zones require temporary fencing around unsafe areas, such as trenches, to prevent falls.
- Missing sidewalk sheds: When construction zones do not include proper barricades, pedestrians walking near the site can get hit by flying debris.
