CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS

New York Lawyers

Construction workers are extremely vulnerable to an accident occurring on a job site at any time. Usually it is due to unsafe conditions because employers, general contractors, and building owners cut corners to save money rather than ensure the well-being of the workers. Innocent bystanders and pedestrians who pass by these construction sites may also be victim to serious injuries or even be killed.

According to the 2024 annual report from NYCOSH (New York Committee for Occupational Safety and Health) the construction fatality rate increased in New York City from 11.2 deaths per 100,000 workers to 11.5 per 100,000 workers in 2022, a 2.7% increase.
