Construction sites, construction tools, construction equipment must all be managed with care, because accidents and resulting injuries can be severe. Construction accident injuries require a law firm with experience: Brindisi, Murad, Brindisi, Pearlman, Julian & Pertz in upstate New York. For more than 50 years, our personal injury attorneys have represented injured people.
- Large, heavy equipment can be dangerous. A construction site has bulldozers, backhoes, dump trucks, cranes and other heavy equipment. When operators are poorly trained or when they are asked to ignore safety guidelines because of deadlines, serious accidents can happen.
- Safety — especially at great heights — is essential. Too often workers on a construction site do not have the safety equipment they need and that can cause dangerous falls. Equipment such as lanyards, harnesses, dependable scaffolding, and safe ladders are required by law.
- Small tools can cause serious injuries. A drill that isn't properly grounded, a nail gun that double-fires or accidentally discharges, or other defective construction equipment can lead to serious injuries. In such a case, a product liability suit may be necessary.
A construction site has multiple contractors, all determined to do their own tasks, often without regard for other contractors and their workers. Sorting out how a construction accident happened and who is responsible can be complex. Our attorneys have substantive experience and knowledge representing clients who have suffered injuries in construction accidents.
