Brooklyn Construction Accident Lawyer
There’s a building boom going on in Brooklyn & New York City and, according to a recent New York Times article, that has caused a rise in construction accidents in New York. Matt Chaban, the author of the article, Fatal Construction Accidents on the Rise in New York, cites the number of deaths at eight in 2015. And this does not include all of the serious injuries that also occur due to lack of safety measures; bad judgement; and faulty materials all in play at construction sites. Chaban quotes the president of the Building Trades Employers’ Association, Louis J. Coletti, “This is the second-most-dangerous job in America after mining, so you need guys who know what they are doing.”
