Protecting Your Future: 
Expert Legal Guidance for Construction Workers

Construction workers play a vital role in building and maintaining New York’s skyline and infrastructure. Yet when injuries occur on construction sites, workers are often left navigating complex legal and insurance systems at a time when they should be focused on recovery.

The Battiloro Law Group represents injured construction workers throughout New York who need experienced legal advocacy after serious job-site accidents. We work to protect workers’ rights, secure proper medical care, and pursue the maximum compensation available under the law.

Common Construction Injuries We Handle

Falls from Heights

Falls from ladders, scaffolding, roofs, and elevated platforms can cause serious or life-changing injuries. We help injured construction workers pursue the compensation and protection they are entitled to after dangerous fall-related accidents.

Struck by Falling Objects

Falling tools, debris, and materials can lead to severe head, neck, and back injuries. Our firm investigates job-site conditions and works to hold responsible parties accountable when safety failures cause harm.

Equipment Accidents

Construction equipment accidents often involve heavy machinery, unsafe operation, or defective tools. We represent injured workers in complex cases involving workplace safety issues and disputed liability.

Repetitive Stress Injuries

Not all construction injuries happen in a single moment. Repetitive lifting, strain, and overuse can lead to serious long-term conditions that affect a worker’s ability to earn a living. We help clients pursue the benefits they deserve for these injuries.

When a Construction Injury May Involve More Than Workers’ Compensation

Not all construction injuries are limited to workers’ compensation benefits alone. Under certain circumstances, injured construction workers may have the right to pursue additional compensation beyond the workers’ compensation system.

In cases involving unsafe scaffolding, ladders, or other elevation-related hazards, New York law may allow injured workers to pursue civil claims against owners, contractors, or other responsible parties. These claims can provide access to greater damages than workers’ compensation benefits alone.

Our attorneys evaluate each case carefully to determine whether additional legal remedies may be available and will advise you on the best course of action based on your specific circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Are Some New York Construction Accidents Treated Differently Than Other Workplace Injuries?

Most workplace injuries are handled exclusively through the workers’ compensation system, which generally prevents employees from filing civil lawsuits against their employers. However, New York labor laws include specific provisions that apply to certain construction accidents.

Sections 240 and 241 of the New York Labor Law may give injured construction workers the right to pursue a lawsuit against owners, contractors, or other parties responsible for unsafe conditions. Not every construction accident qualifies under these laws, which is why it is important to speak with an experienced construction accident attorney to evaluate your case.

What Should I Do After Being Injured on a Construction Site?

Your first priority should always be your health. Seek medical attention immediately following a construction site accident. If your injuries are serious, emergency medical services should be contacted right away. If emergency care is not required, you should still obtain prompt medical evaluation and follow recommended treatment.

You should also report the accident and your injuries to your supervisor as soon as possible. Finally, contacting an experienced construction accident attorney early allows important evidence to be preserved and ensures your rights are protected from the outset.

The Battiloro Law Group is prepared to investigate your case, guide you through the claims process, and pursue the compensation you are entitled to under New York law.
