Representation For Injured Carpenters And Electricians

Carpenters and electrical workers face serious hazards on the job. It only takes a second for a worker to suffer serious or even permanent injury from faulty equipment, electrocution or falling objects. Immediate action is required when such personal injuries occur.

Building Your Foundation For Recovery

New York has special laws that protect construction workers when they’re injured on a work site. Because workers’ compensation claims usually don’t cover the full cost of medical expenses and lost wages, workers in the city can often make additional claims against a contractor or property owner, even when there’s no negligence involved.

Pursuing Comprehensive Compensation

The law firm of Howard R. Sanders, Esq., represents hardworking New Yorkers who have been injured performing some of the most dangerous jobs at construction sites. Carpenter and electrical worker injury lawyer Howard Sanders represents many construction workers in need of a legal ally helping them win verdicts or, many times, negotiating large settlements before ever having to go to trial.

Through our efforts we recovered $4.5 million for two carpenters who sustained injuries on the job. We’re here as your legal ally if you have serious injuries. Call our Midtown Manhattan office for a free case evaluation at 212-983-5151 or 800-731-9976.

We may be able to help you collect for:

Permanent injuries
Pain and suffering
Lost wages

While compensation can’t undo the damage caused by a serious accident, it can take away much of the financial stress that comes from being unable to support your family and pay for treatment and rehabilitation.
