Ladder & Scaffolding Injuries

Experienced Ladder & Scaffolding Injury Lawyers

New York has strict laws that require contractors, subcontractors, owners and others to provide construction workers with a safe working environment and proper equipment. These laws include safety measures for the use and operation of ladders and scaffolds. An injury resulting from the failure to abide by these regulations can have serious repercussions on a construction worker's career.

Ladder and scaffolding accidents often result in serious injuries and permanent disability. At Arye, Lustig & Sassower, P.C., we understand that ladder and scaffolding injuries can affect a construction worker's mobility and strength, and often cause an inability to work for long periods of time. Workers' compensation benefits may not cover all an injured employee's medical expenses and accumulated lost wages, let alone provide compensation for pain, suffering and disability.

If you were injured in a fall from a ladder or scaffold, our construction accident attorneys may be able to help you file a claim to recover damages for pain and suffering, medical expenses and any current and future lost wages not covered by workers' compensation.

Our firm is recognized as one of the premier law firms in New York handling construction accident cases. We handle cases involving all types of serious ladder and scaffolding injuries, including:

• Head injuries: including brain damage and concussions
• Back injuries and neck injuries: such as herniated and bulging disks, fractured spines and spinal cord injuries
