New York Construction Accident Lawsuits
When construction accidents occur, injured parties often feel like they’ve entered a legal web of confusion.
Many different factors effect how your claim is handled.
If the accident involved a sub-contractor or other specialty worker, a claim can be filed with its insurance carrier.
However a claim can also be filed against the general contractor responsible for the construction site.
Construction Accidents can also result in claims against the owner of the site where work is performed.

When construction accidents result from faulty mechanical equipment, a product defect claim may be made against the parts manufacturer.
If the injured party is a construction worker employed at the site, a Workers Compensation claim should be filed with the human resources personnel. The law provides a short timeframe for proper notification to the employer.
When the accident victim is a pedestrian or bystander, the construction site manager should be promptly alerted of the incident.
