Queens Construction Accident Lawyers
While construction workers are regularly exposed to high levels of danger, they should not have to bear the consequences of an unsafe workplace. But due to employer negligence, workers suffer injuries far too often. For New York, 91 construction accidents resulted in fatalities in 2019.
If another party’s actions put you in danger or killed a loved one, our construction accident lawyers in Queens will make sure you receive justice. Our legal experts will file a claim, evaluate your damages, initiate a lawsuit and help you collect every penny of financial compensation that you deserve.
Our Construction Accident Lawyers Build a Strong Case
New York law ensures that site owners and general contractors provide a safe workplace for workers at their construction site. If a party fails to meet their legal standards of care and, as a result, you sustain injuries, you are entitled to fair compensation.
Our litigation process begins with a free case evaluation. A skilled construction accident lawyer will assess your claim and determine its value. From there, we build a strong case, which includes:
- Obtaining incident and accident reports
- Gathering witness statements
- Securing video or photographic evidence
- Consulting with worksite safety experts
- Gathering EMS, hospital, and medical treatment records
- Discussing and evaluating your injuries with medical experts
Once our legal team has sufficient evidence to support your case we will proceed with a lawsuit on your behalf. During the process we will negotiate with the liable party or insurance provider to obtain a fair settlement.
If the responsible parties or their insurance provider refuse to make a fair settlement offer we will take the case to trial on your behalf.

Handle Your Case with Confidence
We Help You Recoup Your Losses after a Construction Accident
If your injuries are connected to another person or party’s negligence, you deserve monetary recovery. And our proficient construction accident attorneys will work hard and do everything possible to ensure that you receive the recovery you are entitled to.
We will fight for a reasonable settlement or jury award that covers all of your injuries, including economic and non-economic damages. Examples of the losses we seek to collect are:
- Pain and suffering: Payouts for loss of enjoyment and trauma from the accident including physical limitations and inability to perform normal activities due to pain
- Lost income: Compensation for lost wages due to injuries preventing you from working
- Loss of future income: Financial recovery if your injuries prevent you from returning to work or lead you to change in your career
- Medical expenses: Reimbursement for all medical costs, including hospital bills, pharmaceuticals, and future treatment including rehabilitation and necessary surgery
In the unfortunate circumstance where a construction site accident leads to a fatality, our attorneys will file a wrongful death lawsuit on your behalf. The claim allows us to recover damages like funeral costs, loss of financial support, loss of parental guidance and death benefits for surviving family members.
Construction Site Negligence Leads to Injuries
New York law seeks to protect injured construction workers. But reckless actions and hazardous conditions increase the risk of an accident. Negligent acts and conditions that put workers in danger on a construction site include:
- Failing to provide necessary safety equipment to workers
- Not providing adequate safety equipment or proper equipment training
- Urging workers to complete projects at an unreasonable pace
- Hiring workers who do not have the required experience or skills to complete the job safely
- Failure to properly supervise the work being performed to ensure that it is being performed safely
- Failing to remove hazardous conditions from a construction site
Property owners and general contractors are required to provide appropriate safety equipment and follow safety procedures to minimize these risks. By failing to do so, the property owner, general contractor or site manager can be held liable for any injuries on the premises. If your injury should have been prevented, you may have the right to receive monetary compensation.
Our Work Accident Attorneys Identify All Negligent Parties
You can file a claim against any person or entity responsible for causing you harm. Our construction site accident lawyers have experienced handling construction accident claims, so we know who to hold accountable for your injuries. A negligent party can include:
- General contractors or subcontractors
- Property owners
- Construction site managers
- Civil engineers
- Architects
When evaluating your accident claim, we make sure every liable party is identified and held accountable for their negligence. If their actions lead to an injury, they may owe you financial compensation.

Don’t Let an Insurance Company Control Your Settlement

We investigate your case and determine a reasonable settlement amount. Then, we make sure you collect every penny your injuries merit. If the responsible parties or insurance provider refuses to make a fair settlement offer, we are fully prepared to take the case to trial.
