CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS

Construction work is one of the most dangerous jobs in our world. Sometimes employers, general contractors, and building owners will decide to cut corners to save money rather than ensure the well-being of their workers. If a construction site has unsafe conditions it can also be a danger to innocent bystanders and pedestrians where serious injuries or even death can occur as a result.

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