Slipping and Tripping Hazards

Skilled New York Construction Accident Attorneys

Handling Cases Involving Slip and Fall (and Trip and Fall) Accidents

Construction law mandates that job site owners, contractors and subcontractors provide their employees with a safe place to work ¾ free of slipping and tripping hazards. Construction workers often carry heavy materials and work on dangerous equipment. Failing to clear job sites of debris, grease, ice and other hazards increases the chance for a serious, life-altering accident.

At Arye, Lustig & Sassower, P.C., we have more than forty years of experience representing construction workers who were seriously injured in a slip and fall (or trip and fall) accident. If you or a loved one was injured at a construction site, we will seek to obtain optimal compensation on your behalf.
