Construction Site Accidents

The laws that apply to workplace injuries and construction sites are complex and can be challenging to navigate, especially when your injuries are severe.

At Wiss Law Firm, we recognize the inherent dangers present on construction sites and the significant impact that construction site accidents can have on workers and their families. Injuries sustained in these accidents can be severe, leading to long-term health issues, emotional distress, and substantial financial burdens. Our attorneys stand up for injured workers with a deep understanding of New York Labor Law §§ 200, 240, and 241 — laws designed to protect construction workers from unsafe conditions.
