How Our Falling Object Lawyers Serving New York Can Help with Your Case
Many people are hit by falling objects in construction sites, from buildings, bridges, warehouses, and stores. When we handle a falling object case, we first examine where it took place. There are regulations governing safety precautions applicable at construction sites that are specifically designed to prevent falling construction debris and other objects from injuring construction workers. Objects falling from buildings or store shelves are covered under premises liability law.
Our qualified and experienced team of lawyers will perform a careful and thorough investigation of your accident in order to build a strong claim of negligence against a property owner, construction company or other party. Besides establishing negligence, we will establish the full extent of your injuries as well as the financial impact of your injuries.
In order to build the strongest claim for maximum compensation, we may do the following for you:
- Obtain all police and incident reports
- Secure video footage and accident scene photographs
- Interview witnesses
- Perform a site visit
- Retain experts in construction or building site safety and management
- Gather all medical and hospital records

Handle Your Case with Confidence
Head Trauma From Falling Objects
Falling objects frequently result in serious head trauma. All falling objects accelerate as they fall, so even a very small object can cause severe damage. Because these objects typically land on a person’s head, brain injuries and other head traumas are common.
If You were Harmed By a Falling Object While Working at a Job Site
Some falling objects occur on worksites due to unsecured tools or building materials. For instance, you could have been hit by a hammer that a contractor kicked off from a scaffold. While you cannot file a lawsuit against your employer, New York law provides powerful worker protections which may enable you to sue the General Contractor or owner of a particular job site following injuries from a falling object. In addition to filing a lawsuit against these parties, you may also be entitled to Workers’ Compensation benefits.
Falling Objects at Construction Sites That Could Have Harmed You
Every year, falling objects are responsible for numerous injuries in New York City and the surrounding areas. Falling objects can cause severe injury, including head injuries, broken bones, and death.
OSHA and New York law have strict regulations to try to minimize the number of injuries caused by falling objects. Our attorneys handle falling object claims from the following types of construction accidents:
- Unsecured equipment such as tools or construction materials
- Scaffolding collapse
- Crane accidents
- Failed safety measures
- Machinery defects
