Structural Collapse Representation from a White Plains Lawyer

When a building is under construction or in the process of being demolished, the entire structure may be unstable if proper safety measures are not in place. When this happens, the building may collapse, trapping construction workers and leaving them facing serious injuries or even death.

Attorney Michael Joseph has been handling construction-related personal injury cases for many years and can help you understand your rights. Together we can pursue compensation for lost wages, pain and suffering, and medical expenses that were incurred due to your injuries. Contact us today to learn more about our firm.

New York Labor Laws

New York's legislature has established a number of laws that govern the way in which construction workers must be protected on a job site. This applies to a variety of construction jobs, including new construction, roofing, remodeling, demolition and restoration. The construction company, contracting company or property owner/manager may be held liable if the roof or other parts of the structure that is under construction collapses.

Catastrophic Injuries

A structural collapse on a construction site is a very serious accident and can leave construction workers (sometimes even innocent bystanders and passers-by) severely injured. Some of the life-altering and permanent injuries that victims may suffer include:

• Broken bones
• Amputation
• Burns (if there is a fire)
• Neck and back injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Serious nerve damage
• Traumatic brain injuries

Our firm also represents the families of those who have been killed in a structural collapse. If negligence is suspected, you may have grounds upon which to file a wrongful death claim.

You do not have to face your injuries alone. If you have been the victim of a structural collapse, contact our offices today and schedule an appointment with attorney Michael Joseph. We offer a free initial consultation, and there is no fee unless you win.
