Construction Accidents

Construction sites pose many dangers to workers and others around the site. Workers must lift heavy objects, operate heavy equipment, and perform difficult job duties at elevated heights. Mark Marino is the co-owner of a real estate development company, so he knows the dangers involved in construction.

Construction workers in New York City have the right to safe working conditions, proper training, and functional equipment. Owners and general contractors have a legal obligation to maintain a safe work environment for these workers and implement proper safety regulations and protocols.

When a construction worker is physically injured on the job, the injured worker may seek damages for their serious injuries, pain, suffering, medical costs, rehabilitation, lost wages, financial hardship, and other expenses that may arise from the injury or accident. There are a number of hazards and dangers inherent in almost every construction or demolition site, including the following:

• Falls from Roofs, Ladders, and Scaffolding
• Dangerous and Defective Items in the Worksite
• Injuries from Falling Items
• Defective Equipment
• Electricution
• Heavy Equipmen
• Radiation and Toxic Chemicals
• Chemical Burns

A construction worker should not suffer needlessly due to the fault of a contractor or property owner. Contact the Law Office of Mark A. Marino to set up a free consultation regarding your case.
