NYC Construction Industry Accidents

In a troubling turn of events, statistics show that the amount of construction industry attractions that occurred in New York City increased in the first seven months of 2018 when compared to the first seven months of 2017. While the number of accidents increased by nearly 18.5%, the amount of injuries from those accidents also increased almost as much by 17%.

Given New York City’s recent building growth, it is understandable that construction accidents remain a concern. If you have been injured in a construction accident, you do not have to handle the resulting injuries and expenses alone, especially if someone else’s negligence contributed to what happened. A personal injury lawyer at Levitsky Law Firm can help you understand your legal options and pursue the compensation you may deserve.

A New York City personal injury attorney can evaluate the details of your construction accident and help determine whether you have a valid claim. If you do, you may not need to worry about upfront legal costs, as many construction accident attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. This means you typically pay no attorney fees unless you recover compensation, with the attorney receiving an agreed-upon percentage of the settlement.

If you’ve been injured in a construction accident in NYC, you could be entitled to compensation for your injuries. The construction company that is deemed responsible for your injuries could have to pay your medical expenses, the amount of any wages that you lost, any punitive and emotional damages and so on. Personal injury attorneys have the legal knowledge and negotiation skills to secure you the most favorable settlement possible for your construction accident injuries. They will fight aggressively for your rights and attempt to get you the maximum that you’re entitled to.
