Bronx Construction Accident Lawyers,
Reibman & Weiner

Construction work is dangerous.  Construction workers use powerful, dangerous tools like hydraulic lifts, compressors, jack hammers, nail guns,  and electric saws.  Many times scaffolds are part of the construction site and require construction workers to work at great heights.  Other hazards are presented by scissor lifts, cherry pickers, ladders and cranes.  All construction trades are presented with potential hazards and dangers at the construction site.  Whether they are a taper, mason, roofer, carpenter, steelworker or general laborer constructions sites are dangerous.       
Construction site accidents are often severe.  Catastrophic injuries are the result of falling from scaffolds, ladders or stilts, contact with power tools, collapsing construction debris or supplies.  We have represented clients with life changing fractures, amputations, nerve injuries, severe internal injuries and traumatic brain injuries.

Our clients have suffered from permanent total or partial disabilities which limit their employment and restricts their income.  A lawsuit is necessary to obtain full monetary compensation for lost income and for physical and emotional pain and suffering.  Without an award from a lawsuit, severely injured construction workers may see their loved ones suffer as mortgage payments cannot be made, children cannot be sent to college and spouses are required to work full time and to care for the injured spouse.  Health and pension benefits are also at risk.

Construction workers can often receive more than one kind of monetary compensation.  For example, lost income and medical expenses will usually be paid by the Workers’ Compensation system.  In addition, injured constructions workers may have the right to bring a law suit that is completely separate from a Workers’ Compensation claim.  The building owner, the architects, and even an equipment manufacturer or supplier may have been at fault causing the injuries.  The lawsuit is intended to recover more money than is afforded by the Workers’ Compensation system.  An injured worker has the right to sue for lost pension benefits, the loss of anticipated wage increases, and other kinds of economic losses, such as the value of work that you used to do around your home for the benefit of your family.
