Construction Accident - Falling Material

Описание: INJURIES DUE TO FALLING MATERIAL - NEW YORK STATE

Working on a construction site has many dangers. One significant danger in a multi level construction project is falling material. Depending upon the material involved the injuries can be often serious or even fatal.

FALLING MATERIAL ACCIDENT CLAIMS ARE IN ADDITION TO WORKERS’ COMPENSATION

Any injured worker on a construction site always has a valid workers’ compensation claim. In addition to a workers’ compensation coverage provided by your employer, New York State law provides the most protective laws on the books to provide injured construction workers with legal protections providing for a regular lawsuit in addition to your workers’ compensation claim.

100 PERCENT LIABILITY WITH NO COMPARATIVE FAULT

Section 240(1) of the New York State Labor law imposes almost strict liability for injuries upon the general contractor and owners of qualified properties sustained by material hoisted or material that should be secured which falls upon a worker.

This provision of law prohibits any claims of comparative fault on the part of the injured worker, and in the event of material falling upon a worker and a violation demonstrated, the case is often won as to 100 percent liability on a paper application known as a Summary Judgment motion before a jury trial.
