Welcome to the New York Construction Accident Law Blog
Turley, Redmond, Rosasco & Rosasco, LLP is pleased to announce the launch of our new New York Construction Accident Law Blog. As our banner above indicates, we will provide valuable information, insights and support for injured construction workers throughout New York State. As part of this public service, we will be providing you with updates on New York's special laws which protect construction workers, namely New York State Labor Law 200, Labor Law 240 (The Scaffold Law) and Labor Law 241(6) .
Every day workers are seriously injured on construction sites due to Owners, Employers and General Contractors failing to provide adequate safety equipment and protections to their employees. We will be updating this blog weekly with helpful information for injured construction workers. You can subscribe easily by either email notification or RSS feed located on the left side column of this blog. This way you will be automatically notified of new and breaking information that may be useful to you. We will also be providing on the left side a number of useful and 'must read" links to informational resources for injured construction workers. We are still buliding additional information for the blog, so check back frequently for new features.
The lack of adequate safety on construction sites is an ongoing problem as builders cut corners to save money. We offer this site as a public service to educate and give support to workers injured on construction sites. As part of this educational process, we welcome you to post general "comments" or "questions at the end of any of our blog posts. If you prefer to ask specific questions about a specific case in a confidential manner, we strongly suggest that you contact us Toll Free at 1-888-9HURTWORKER (1-888-948-7896). Ask to speak to Troy Rosasco, Senior Partner, at extension 123.
Thankfully, New York State law provides special legal rights, beyond workers' compensation, to many construction workers depending upon how they were injured. The attorneys at Turley, Redmond, Rosasco & Rosasco know these special laws and the fact patterns to which they apply. Many other personal injury lawyers, who may also be handling automobile accidents, medical malpractice, class action or trip & fall cases, can honestly miss potential claims you may have causing you to lose significant money damages for you pain and suffering. Because we have been handling construction site accident cases every day for over 20 years, we will not miss any potential lawsuit you may have and we will advise you of your rights.
Thank you for visiting our new blog and we look forward to serving you, the injured construction worker, in the future.
