Experienced Advocates for Injured Workers

Our lead attorney, David Perecman, has more than 30 years of New York legal experience. Our firm has helped many construction workers assert their rights under Labor Law 241, a unique law that makes property owners, developers and general contractors responsible for safety precautions on job sites, even if they are not the ones who created a problem.

There are many factors that can result in slip-and-fall and trip-and-fall accidents on construction sites, including, but not limited to, the following:

• Construction debris : Site debris — particularly the remnants from cut rebars, wood, cement, metal and wiring — is a major cause of trip-and-fall accidents on construction sites. In the current economic climate, many general contractors and property owners are cutting corners by reducing their housekeeping staff, contributing to these accidents.
• Incomplete structures: While a construction project is underway, incomplete structural elements such as floors, staircases and conduits may create trip-and-fall hazards. Owners and general contractors are responsible for overseeing construction sites and need to make sure that workers are adequately safeguarded against these types of hazards.
• Snow and ice: When a building that is under construction is open to the elements, snow and ice can accumulate, creating a high risk of slip-and-fall accidents. These substances ought to be removed from any area where workers are expected to work.

Our initial consultations are confidential, so nobody needs to know that you are talking to a lawyer. In addition, if we help you pursue a personal injury claim, it will be against someone other than your employer, so you do not have to worry about getting your boss in trouble.

If you have been injured in a slip-and-fall accident on a construction site in the Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island or elsewhere in New York, we can help you pursue the compensation you deserve. Let us put our experience and passion to work for you.
