Falls Due to Defective Roofs & Floors

Respected New York Construction Accident Attorneys

Handling Cases Involving Roof and Floor Collapses

An important part of job safety is to ensure the safety of construction workers, especially when they are working on roofs or unstable flooring. Failing to abide by safety regulations can result in devastating injuries when a roof or floor collapses. Unfortunately, too many workers in New York are injured from falling through roofs and floors during a building's construction, renovation or demolition.

At Arye, Lustig & Sassower, P.C., our attorneys have successfully recovered significant verdicts and settlements for injured construction workers for more than forty years. If you or someone you love has been injured when a roof or floor fell in on a construction site, let us help you seek the compensation you need and deserve.

Falling through a roof or floor can result in significant and life-altering injuries, such as brain injuries, back injuries, spinal cord injuries and even wrongful death. Even a seemingly less serious injury, like a broken arm, can have serious repercussions on a career if it causes chronic pain or reduces limb mobility.

Our New York construction lawyers have extensive experience representing construction workers with serious injuries caused by falling off a roof, falling through a hole in the floor, or falling when a roof or floor collapsed. We have successfully won millions of dollars of verdicts and settlements for our clients:

  • $1.75 million settlement for a construction worker who fell through a roof
  • $1.25 million settlement for an electrician who fell through an unguarded floor opening
  • $1.2 million settlement for electrician who tripped and fell because of a floor opening

The failure to provide a safe working environment can result in devastating injuries that ruin a construction worker's career. At Arye, Lustig & Sassower, we make filing a personal injury claim easier by providing a free consultation to discuss your injuries and potential case. We work on a contingency fee basis, so you will owe us no fee unless we obtain a financial recovery for you.
