New York City Construction Law Attorneys

New York City construction law and New York State labor laws protect workers, both immigrant and non-immigrant, from certain on the job accidents. Both New York construction and labor laws are designed to make employers promote safe conditions on construction work sites and to protect workers and their families in case of an injury or death.

But even with these laws in place, construction accidents do occur in New York City. Sometimes employers are negligent in creating a safe work environment and as a result construction workers get injured or at times even die.

A worker employed on a construction site is not alone when something goes wrong. Workers and their families have recourse. New York City construction accident lawyers at the Perecman Firm are there to assist families and workers through some of their most difficult times both financially and emotionally.

Also, the construction law and labor laws of New York State need to be strengthened in order to protect construction workers more effectively, according to David H. Perecman, a veteran New York construction accident lawyer and co-founder of the personal injury law firm of the Perecman Firm. Mr. Perecman has testified in front of various committees of the New York State Assembly regarding the need to strengthen and update the New York City construction law and the New York State labor laws, as well as the agencies that regulate these laws. This will more adequately protect worker safety on construction sites, says Mr. Perecman, who has spent nearly three decades fighting for the rights of construction workers and is currently the Treasurer of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association (NYSTLA) and Co-chair of its Labor Law Committee.
