Construction accidents lawyers NY receive a lot of cases each year related with accidents at work on construction sites. They also receive a lot of consultation from workers that are interested in learning about their rights and what they can do when they are injured while working. Not only workers can benefit from the assistance of a lawyer; also their families, especially in the case of a job related death that leaves a widow and a family behind devoid of income and unable to get the support for the family.

NYC construction accident lawyers deal with all kind of accidents, from non-life threatening injuries to serious and fatal injuries.

 

Five construction workers were renovating a house in Brooklyn that collapsed, killing one of the workers. According to the report on the NY Daily News, the other four workers were injured in this accident that occurred on the 3rd of April 2013.

Personal injury lawyer NYC and The National Transportation Safety Board might have reasons to believe that the accident (a Metro-North train derailed and was hit by an oncoming train in Connecticut) that resulted in more than 60 hospitalized on the 17th of May 2013 could have been sabotage. 

 

According to the report on New York Daily News, officials said a New Haven-bound commuter train flew off the tracks near the Fairfield station during a “major derailment” at 6:10 p.m. and collided with a Manhattan-bound Metro-North train on an adjacent track.

Construction site accident Lawyers: Accidents on construction sites are common. Construction workers are exposed to possible injuries and even death on the job every day. This was the case for a contractor working on the Eagle Ford Shale that had been killed at a BHP Billiton Petroleum construction site in Karnes County.

 

According to the report in Reuters.com last 7th of May of 2013 James Dean Burnett, 25, of Goliad, died when a pipe fell on him, striking his head and neck, said Russell Swize, chief deputy with the Karnes County Sheriff's Office.

NYC construction accident lawyers: According to the New York Times a construction worker died on the 22nd of March, 2012 after a century-old, two-story warehouse under demolition (as part of Columbia University’s expansion) collapsed in a hail of concrete, bricks and steel that engulfed three workers.

 

Two of the workers, Sakim Kirby, 31, and Juan Vicente Ruiz, 69, were buried up to their chests in slabs of reinforced concrete, steel beams, bricks and other debris. However, firefighters were able to crawl in and extricate them, said James Long, a Fire Department spokesman. Both men were taken to St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center; Mr. Ruiz died there. NYC construction accident lawyers would be involved to help the surviving workers and the family of those workers that had died in the accident.
