Legal Representation For Workers Injured During Falls

Even the toughest construction workers can get seriously injured on the job. When scaffolding fails or an unstable ladder gives way, gravity will almost always be the winner. Such personal injuries result in pain, suffering, loss of earnings and union benefits and a burden upon the injured party’s entire family.

Falls Cause A Wide Range Of Injuries

Some of the most serious construction site injuries can result from falling objects accidents, or from falls from ladders or scaffolding. They can include:

  • Broken bones
  • Closed head injuries and other traumatic brain injuries
  • Serious neck and back injuries
  • Paralysis

These injuries can take workers away from the job for weeks or even months at a time, leaving them with a pile of medical bills and other expenses and without a reliable income.

Even injuries that seem to be the result of a simple accident are subject to compensation. Howard Sanders has represented many construction workers in New York and can investigate the cause of your injuries. If you’re entitled to compensation for lost income, pain and suffering and other financial losses, he is ready to help you collect.
