Respected New York Construction Law Attorneys
Handling Scaffolding and Ladder Accident Cases
Scaffolding and ladders present special risks and the law provides special protection. Workers injured in scaffolding and ladder accidents are often able to pursue compensation beyond that provided by workers' compensation. Labor Law § 240 places strict liability on owners and general contractors for injuries related to ladder and scaffolding accidents.

Arye, Lustig & Sassower, P.C. has successfully handled hundreds of scaffolding and ladder accident cases since 1965. While we recognize that Labor Law § 240 places strict liability on owners and contractors for injuries related to ladder and scaffolding accident, we also appreciate the difficulty of these cases.
Our attorneys work diligently to protect our clients' interests. We recognize that many construction accidents result from inadequate safety devices, third party negligence, and violations of OSHA regulations. When lapses in safety are combined with heights, a wide range of serious and career ending injuries are likely:
- Head and brain injuries
- Back, neck, and spinal cord injuries
- Knee, elbow, wrist, and other joint injuries
- Paraplegia, quadriplegia, and paralysis
- Wrongful death
For all ladder and scaffolding injuries, it is important to consult an experienced New York construction accident attorney. Our firm has helped injured workers collect hundreds of millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements. We understand that construction accident injuries often prevent people from returning to work. This can create significant stress and uncertainty.
We strive to minimize the stress involved in pursuing scaffolding and ladder accident claims. Our attorneys provide a free initial consultation. We can set up an appointment at our offices or at a location that is suitable for our client. We also handle all our cases on a contingency basis.
