Construction site accidents, unfortunately, are common occurrences, with workers getting injured, sometimes even fatally. New York City construction is even more dangerous due to the many construction site projects that involve scaffolding and ladders, with construction workers suffering injuries from high elevations. The following goes over the types of construction accidents that occur and how to manage a construction site accident.

Types of Construction Site Accidents

The most common types of construction site accidents include injuries to a construction worker as a result of falls (particularly in NYC where many projects involve high rises with scaffolding), being struck by falling objects, electrocution, and getting caught between two objects such as a worker becoming pinned or trapped between a piece of equipment and a wall.

According to U.S. labor statistics, about 150,000 construction accidents happen each year. Furthermore, in analyzing various statistics, the New York Committee for Occupational Safety and Health (NYCOSHA) determined that construction-related workplace deaths made up 24% of the annual fatalities in New York. In fact, working in the construction industry is one of the most dangerous jobs in NYC.

Why Do Construction Site Accidents Happen?

Often accidents on job sites are due to negligence and are preventable if robust safety measures are in place. This includes project owners and GCs of the construction sites ensuring that the implementation and monitoring of safety and personal protection equipment (PPE) are followed. Construction crews should also go through training on up-to-date safety procedures and practices with consistent drills and courses.

In addition, construction workers should be familiar with OSHA safety rules and guidelines for job-site best practices.

Unfortunately, although safety regulations exist, too often they are disregarded by a property owner and general contractor in an effort to complete a project on time and within the established budget, sacrificing the health and welfare of construction workers.

How Should Injured Construction Workers Proceed?

First and foremost, if you are involved in a construction accident, get immediate medical attention if you have suffered severe injuries. Then, report the accident to your employer and contact New York construction accident lawyers to discuss your case. It’s important to know that although you are entitled to file a workers compensation claim for payment of medical bills, prescriptions, and lost wages up to a certain amount, in New York City, the Labor Laws also entitle you to file a personal injury lawsuit.

New York Labor Laws protect construction workers from dangerous or unsafe working conditions. In addition, injured workers can sue for certain workplace accidents caused by construction companies’ and property owners’ negligence. A construction accident lawyer will explain and assist you in properly navigating these laws.

For example, when it comes to NYC’s scaffolding law, there are requirements for scaffolds higher than 20 feet above the working surface. They must have a securely attached safety rail that runs the entire length of the supported platform. The apparatus must be secured so it does not become unstable, collapse, or tip over. General contractors who have employees working on scaffolding must also provide PPE (personal protection equipment), such as fall protection gear. Employees must be trained on general scaffold safety and proper use and maintenance of their PPE (personal protection equipment).

The law also enables injured New York City construction workers to seek compensation for any injury or death caused by a fall or an object that fell from a height. The general contractor and the property manager may be liable for the injury or death if proper precautions were not in place.

According to statistics from the New York City Department of Buildings (DOB), construction accidents were higher in 2021 than in 2020.

While final stats for 2022 have not been released, construction worker fatalities, unfortunately, continue at an alarming rate, with the most recent accidents occurring in November. A 36-year-old hard-hat worker plummeted four floors to his death on the Upper West Side of NYC. Another construction worker, age 27, while building a protective sidewalk shed, fell to his death in early November at a downtown Brooklyn construction site.

In addition, in the first five months of 2022, four construction workers were killed in construction accidents in NYC, and 192 workers suffered injuries. The four deaths resulted from falls — all of which are preventable if construction sites have proper safety measures in place.

One worker fell from a 10-story building with the NYC DOB issuing a full stop work order and a violation for failing to safeguard people and property impacted by construction operations. Another worker was on suspended scaffolding and fell 15 feet onto a metal fence. The NYC DOB issued a violation for failing to protect people and property affected by construction operations. While moving plywood formwork in a 17-story residential building, a third construction worker slipped and fell about 20 feet through an elevator hole and landed in the basement. Violations were issued.

The fourth worker fell thirty feet while working on a four-story multiple dwelling and died following severe injuries. Violations were issued for operating without a permit for brick and facade lintel replacement work.

Why NYC Construction Workers Face Such Dangers on the Job, Including Fatal Construction Accidents

Among the high-hazard industries identified by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) is the construction industry, especially in New York City. This is further confirmed by U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. When all other occupations are considered, construction sites in NYC consistently rank first in terms of work-related deaths. According to the NYC Department of Buildings, many construction workers work at heights on job sites with scaffolding and equipment, which can result in severe worker injuries and fatalities if not adequately secured.

In addition, part of the problem may be attributed to contractors cutting corners to save money and the high burdens frequently associated with meeting construction deadlines. As so much of the city’s infrastructure is aging, there is a push to replace these structures to meet safety standards. In response, contractors don’t hire enough labor, use low-cost materials, or take training shortcuts to complete the job as cheaply and quickly as possible. Some are not following safety regulations and measures.

Back in 2019, Tim Hogan, who has been the Deputy Commissioner of Enforcement for the NYC Department of Buildings since 2012, told CBS News during an interview that at that time, there were approximately 45,000 active construction sites in New York City, and one-fourth of them are not in compliance with safety regulations!

Most Common Types of NYC Construction Site Accidents

The most common causes of accidents and deaths on New York City construction sites are:

• Falls from scaffolds, ladders, roofs; and/or lack of fall protection 
• Struck by falling/non-secure materials or debris
• Electrocution
• Trips and falls
• Injuries from building materials due to lack of protection (such as hard hats, eye protection, etc.) 
• Caught in or between objects

What to Do if You’re Involved in a Construction Accident?

Workers involved in construction-related accidents should immediately call an experienced personal injury attorney who specializes in representing New York City workers with construction injuries. NYC construction accident lawyers know New York Labor Laws. These Labor Laws are designed to protect workers in the construction industry.

For example, owners, leaseholders, and contractors are held liable under the New York Labor Law 240 (Scaffold Law) for failing to provide proper safety equipment to construction workers performing gravity-related work in the erection, repair, or demolition of a building. This means that under specific circumstances, a construction worker can sue the property owner and general contractor in addition to filing a Workers’ Compensation claim.

Construction accidents abound, particularly in New York City where renovations and new builds dot the landscape. A construction accident can be devastating for construction workers, putting them out of work for weeks — even months or more. It’s important to get the compensation and recovery you deserve through Workers Compensation benefits and, in the case of negligence, a personal injury lawsuit.

The Construction Site: Hazards Are Everywhere

The construction industry ranks fourth in having the highest number of fatal accidents in any industry, according to OSHA and the CDC. In fact, one in five employee-related deaths in the United States is as a result of construction work.

This is why a safe construction site, supported by robust risk management and ongoing training, is critical in preventing accidents and keeping workers from getting injured.

It’s the responsibility of the employer to ensure that proper safety measures are not only implemented but also followed to prevent on-the-job injuries on a construction project. This includes fall protection measures, the proper use of personal protection equipment (PPE), adequate lighting, and scaffolding and crane training, among other measures.

In New York, in addition to employers, property owners are also responsible for protecting workers against unsafe conditions. Labor Laws in New York provide legal protections to construction workers and enable them to sue in the event of negligence.

Common Construction Accidents

A construction worker can get injured in a number of ways on a project, including:

• Falls from heights: Scaffolding accidents and crane accidents, particularly in NYC, are common. Falls from ladders, roofs and chimneys are also common. In fact, falls make up about 32% of all construction accidents.
• Machinery accidents/defective equipment: A lot of the equipment used on a construction site is dangerous. Construction workers, for example, use extremely heavy machinery to complete the tasks required to construct a building, road, etc. When used in a specific circumstance, machinery can malfunction or fail to respond as expected. In more unfortunate and preventable scenarios, an untrained person operating machinery can injure himself or another worker.
• Slips and trips: Construction sites pose tripping or falling hazards to workers.
• Electrocutions/electrical accidents: Construction work is frequently done near power lines and power sources. This makes it easy to accidentally strike power lines with machinery and equipment.
• Ground collapses: To begin excavating for a new building, construction company crews typically disturb a large area of soil. The surrounding earth may become unstable as a result of the excavation, depending on the soil and its consistency. This means that the ground can easily collapse, taking workers with it. When this happens, unfortunately, many people may become injured, trapped, or killed.

If You’re Hurt On the Job Site

If you are injured in a construction accident, you are entitled to Workers Compensation benefits, which include payments for medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation and ongoing medical expenses for partial or permanent disability.

Workers Compensation is mandatory in New York and designed to provide wage benefits and medical payments for an injured worker. Injured workers should report the accident to their supervisor immediately, who should then file a Workers Compensation claim with the employer’s insurance company.

In the event of a serious injury, and depending on how the injury occurred and if there was negligence, you may want to contact a personal injury lawyer to file a lawsuit. Individuals getting pushback from the insurer or your employer, should consider filing a construction accident lawsuit.

Contact a Law Firm to Discuss Your Personal Injury Case

In the event the construction accident occurred as a result of negligence on the part of your employer (the general contractor) and/or the property owner, you may seek compensation from the parties who are liable for creating an unsafe work environment. In New York City, contractors can file a construction injury lawsuit if the employer did not provide a safe job site including when working with scaffolding.

Construction accidents have the potential to be catastrophic. While the aftermath of an accident is chaotic and stressful, there are some critical questions you must receive answers to in order to build your case. First, contact your NYC Construction Accident Lawyer immediately, then read on to help guide you or a loved one through the process of navigating a construction accident. 

Am I eligible to file a lawsuit?

Anyone who experienced an injury at a construction site may be eligible to file a lawsuit against the general contractor, property manager, subcontractor, or developer or a combination of any of these. However, the site must be deemed unsafe in some form, leading to an injury or injuries. This is where an attorney can help you.

Is my employer responsible for my working conditions?

Yes. It is the property owner and the general contractor’s duty to ensure safety at all of their construction sites. Depending on the site, the equipment, and the scope of work, these responsibilities vary. However, New York law is stringent in protecting construction workers due to the dangerous nature of the job.

Can I receive more payouts than just workers’ compensation?

The short answer is yes. Workers’ compensation prevents injured workers from suing their employers. However, you are eligible to collect workers compensation in addition to pursuing other potentially responsible parties for your injuries. For example, a contractor, a third party, manufacturers or property owners may have contributed to your injuries and you could file a claim against all who are responsible.

Should I hire a lawyer?

Without a doubt, yes. Lawyers with extensive knowledge and expertise in construction accidents can help you navigate the complex process and help you build a solid case. There are various components of the law that could impact your case and/or settlement, such as liability, safety and code compliance, engineering, and more. Foregoing an attorney could cause you to miss out on some important compensation opportunities.

Construction accidents are some of the most common yet dangerous types of occupational injuries. However, the truth is that most of these injuries are avoidable. If you own or work for a New York construction company, read on to learn more about how to prevent an accident from occurring in the first place. More importantly, if you or a loved one has experienced a scaffolding or other construction related accident, call a NYC Construction Accident Lawyer immediately to evaluate your claim.

Conduct daily safety meetings.

Before the start of each workday, it’s important to cover the basics with your workers.  Employees need to be briefed about the different safety measures when it comes to each specific job site. As a project continues to progress, the hazards also change. It is up to project managers and team leaders to ensure that everyone on the job site is provided with proper instruction, and is aware of the changing regulations. Doing so can prevent careless accidents from occurring.

Provide protective safety gear.

Personal protective equipment is one of the most important features of maintaining a safe worksite. Depending on the project, any or all of the following gear must be provided for each employee:

• Hard hat
• Harness
• Heavy-bottom boots
• Eye protection
• Reflective gear
• Heavy duty gloves
• Ear protectors

Minimize night shifts.

New York is the city that never sleeps, but that doesn’t mean your employees should be working around the clock. In fact, minimizing work during night hours can prevent unnecessary hazards, injuries, and even death. If you are on a tight deadline, ensure the work area is safely lit, there is adequate warning signage around the site, and your employees are working on the least dangerous task.

Increase visibility.

Traffic is nonstop in NYC, which means that all of your workers need to be outfitted with brightly colored and reflective gear at all times. Simply being visible to passersby and equipment operators helps to prevent injuries.

Encourage breaks.

Breaks are key to productivity and safety. Workers need to replenish their energy and fluids and get off of their feet throughout the day. Otherwise, they are prone to make mistakes from being lethargic or fatigued.
Heeding this advice can help minimize the likelihood of a life-threatening injury to you or someone you love. Construction is a critical industry for New York, but that doesn’t mean that corners should be cut and safety laws should be bypassed to meet deadlines.

Construction accidents are often the most severe and can easily lead to permanent disability and even death. Suffering an accident on the job can be devastating, which is why you need to rely on an experienced NYC Construction Accident Lawyer to fight for you. Read on to discover the essential factors you and your attorney need to prove in order to have a negligence case after a construction accident. 

Find the cause of your accident. 

The first step is to find who and what contributed to the accident. This means determining circumstances that didn’t live up to reasonable safety standards. For example, this could be a lack of safety equipment such as goggles or hard hats, or a lack of signage or adequate training.

Investigate beyond the immediate cause of your accident.

Going hand in hand with the first point, this is equally important to your potential construction accident case. Go beyond the surface level details of the incident and determine whether there were other contributing factors that could have led to the accident. For example, does the company have thorough hiring, vetting and training processes? Do they provide the necessary safety equipment required by law? Do they maintain their equipment and vehicles appropriately and complete annual safety inspections? All of these could be contributing factors to your accident.

Gather witness testimony.

Witness and expert testimony are huge components of proving negligence cases. This is especially important should your case go to trial and the technical aspects need to be explained to a jury without construction training.

Construction is one of the most dangerous professions, especially in New York. Scaffolding is a critical part of the industry, but these types of accidents can be detrimental-or even fatal. If you or a loved one has experienced a scaffolding accident, call a NYC Construction Accident Lawyer immediately to determine how to navigate the situation, prove your case, and fight for the compensation you’re entitled to. Here’s what to do immediately after a scaffolding accident.

Get medical attention.

This is the important aspect of post-accident protocol. Even if you don’t feel as though you sustained any severe injuries, you should still be examined by a physician. Adrenaline can cloud your pain receptors and make you less aware of your injuries. Or, injuries can take a few hours or days to truly develop after an accident. This step can help your personal injury case should you file one in the future, as well.

Report the accident.

It’s critical to notify your employer of the accident immediately. In New York, construction workers have 30 days to report it. Recount all the details of the accident as thoroughly as possible and put it in writing, and request a copy for yourself to keep. A detailed report is hard to argue in court and can prevent any disputes about your injuries down the line.

Collect evidence and information.

Gather contact information from any potential witnesses or employee on the scene. Take photos of the site, especially if there was a lack of safety equipment or protocols broken at the time of the accident.

It’s also helpful to maintain a personal log of your injuries and any relevant recovery information. The costs of your treatment should be recorded and kept in a file for safekeeping to help you prove your case.

Anyone who has worked in construction in New York City knows the obvious perils that they face each day. Making it home after the end of a long and risky project is a daily battle. And, even the most experienced and cautious construction workers aren’t immune to suffering an injury, and scaffolding accidents can be particularly deadly. If you’ve been injured in a scaffolding accident, contact your trusted NYC Construction Accident Lawyer immediately to determine how to navigate the situation, prove your case, and fight for the compensation you’re entitled to.

Proving Your Case

Arguably the most important aspect of proving your case is identifying which OSHA standards were bypassed or ignored at your construction site. New York law states that any site owner or manager must comply with regulations and safety protocols set forth by OSHA. Building, maintaining and operating scaffolding are all critical aspects of a functional and safe construction site that must be upheld.

Once you suffer an injury, find the person in charge of the construction site immediately to report the incident. 
Next, consult with your experienced construction accident lawyer to determine how to prove the site manager failed to perform specific safety duties which led to your injury.

Once these factors have been established, you’ll need your lawyer’s help to determine what types of compensation you are entitled to. As we’ve mentioned, scaffolding injuries tend to be severe, and involve a whole list of reasons why you are eligible to be compensated, including:

• Bodily injury
• Death
• Mental anguish
• Lost wages

In such dire circumstances, let our law firm fight for you so you can focus on recovery and getting back to normal.

Construction accidents are among the most dangerous in the country due to the nature of the jobs in this industry. In fact, according to OSHA, 5,333 workers died on the job in 2019— on average, more than 100 a week or about 15 deaths every day. These harrowing statistics are eye-opening, making it imperative that every business and worker in this sector understands the risks they face daily. In this article, we’re going to highlight the top four fatal construction accidents. If you or someone you know has been injured in a NYC construction site accident, contact an experienced NYC Construction Accident Lawyer immediately.

 
#1: Slips and Falls

This might seem harmless enough, but 40% of all construction deaths result from slips and falls. There are several reasons why this category is uncharacteristically high, including working at great heights, poorly constructed scaffolding, uneven walking surfaces, poorly lit worksites, and more. 

#2: Being Struck by Objects

Construction sites can often be organized chaos, with cluttered work spaces and loose objects strewn about. Cranes, scaffolding, debris, tools, and falling objects are common sources of injury for construction workers. Construction workers must keep their protective gear and hard hats on at all times.

#3: Electrocution

This is far less common than the other two listed, but electrocutions are much more deadly. Since construction sites are riddled with loose wires, incomplete electrical systems, and power lines, there is much more opportunity for them to become injured or even die due to electrocution. 

#4: Getting Caught in Between Equipment & Structures 

These injuries are the final part of the fatal four. With so much going on at construction sites, there’s a greater risk for workers to get stuck in between equipment or materials and for suffering injuries from collapsing structures. These threats are the reason why workers in this sector must be aware of their surroundings and standard safety protocols at all times.

The iconic New York skyline is undoubtedly recognized and admired by people throughout the world. While it might look striking to an outsider, those who build these picturesque and immense skyscrapers know that it is no easy feat. Building the Big Apple is dangerous and risky, which is why scaffolding injuries are not uncommon. Even with safety protocols and preventative measures in place, accidents can and do occur. If you’ve been injured in a scaffolding accident, contact your trusted NYC Construction Accident Lawyer immediately. 

What is Scaffolding?

According to Princeton’s University Office of Environmental Health and Safety, scaffolding is any temporary elevated or suspended work surface used to support workers and/or materials, and there are many types of scaffolds, both supported and suspended. They are often constructed from steel or wood and are used to create large buildings of all types. It should come as no surprise that NYC holds strict guidelines for scaffolding. A few of the essential highlights include:

• New York LAB §240 requires employers to provide scaffolding that can support at least four times the total weight of all workers and equipment that will work at heights.
• All scaffolding taller than 20 feet from the working surface must also have a securely attached safety rail that runs along the supported platform’s entire length.
• All construction companies must provide scaffolding and related safety equipment, such as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), to its workers and take reasonable steps to foster a safe work environment. 
• Safety measures that should be upheld during excavation, construction and demolition. Regular surveying of the worksite is also required to identify risks, such as unsecured materials, unprotected building edges, and other factors that could lead to injury.
• Employers must provide workers the right to seek damages if their employer or contractor did not provide adequate equipment or training which resulted in an injury or death. 

What Causes Scaffolding Accidents?

A staggering 4,000-5,000 scaffolding accidents occur each year in NYC, primarily resulting from the following:

• Falls: Improper securing of the scaffold and/or a lack of PPE can result in catastrophic injuries and deadly falls.
• Falling objects: Slippery surfaces due to inclement weather or items placed on unsteady surfaces can lead to falling objects, and, in turn, severe injuries.
• Tripping on Scaffolding: It’s easy for construction workers to trip or slide on slippery scaffolding surfaces, especially in inclement weather. 
• Scaffolding collapse: While uncommon, a total collapse of scaffolding is possible from storms, inadequate building techniques, or when struck by heavy machinery or vehicles. This can cause injury or death to the workers and passerby below.

What Injuries Result from Scaffolding Accidents?

Due to the nature of these accidents, the injuries sustained are often significant. Some of the most common injuries include, but are not limited to:

• Spinal cord injuries
• Broken bones
• Loss of limbs
• Neck and back injuries
• Brain and head injuries
• Lacerations 
• Crushing injuries
• Paralysis
• Damage to internal organs 
• Death
