Workers on a New York City construction site face peril on a daily basis – whether working from a hazardous height or handling dangerous and heavy equipment, the dangers are many. Yet one of the most unexpected – and deadly dangers on a construction site is being hit by a falling object.

Common Falling Objects in Construction Sites

New York construction sites have a number of situations in which heavy objects can fall from significant heights and cause serious injury.

The following are among the most common construction site components that can fall:

Falling object construction injury cases require substantial knowledge of the New York construction industry and New York’s legal principles. The New York City construction accident lawyers at David Resnick & Associates, P.C., know that in order to win a falling object case, we must clearly establish that the object fell because of a lack of safety measures or defective equipment or materials. We work with qualified industry experts to demonstrate what caused the accident and who was responsible. We carefully examine the facts surrounding the accident scene to determine if a contractor skipped over safety guidelines or failed to provide instructions, or whether key equipment components failed to function properly.

Compensation For Injuries From Construction Falling Objects

Workers hit by construction falling objects can be seriously injured. Workers’ compensation offers benefits to assist injured New York construction workers, but severe injuries often exceed the limits of the workers’ compensation system. If you have been hurt badly enough that work is no longer an option, you and your family may need more extensive long term compensation to move forward with your lives.

As a rule, the law prohibits employees from suing their employers in a New York construction injury lawsuit, but there is often more than one responsible party when a construction accident occurs. Other manufacturers or contractors may have played a role, such as the company that made the elevated work surface or equipment used while on the surface. Falling object accident claims are rarely simple – because there are so many factors involved – so it’s essential to work with experienced construction accident attorneys like David Resnick & Associates, P.C.
