Brooklyn Construction and On-the-Job Accident Attorney

Applying Labor Laws to Help Injured Workers

Construction work in New York and New Jersey is a very dangerous occupation. This is the reason for the existence of safety laws designed to protect workers.

Section 240 of the New York Labor Law states that “All contractors . . . who contract for . . . erection, demolition, repairing, altering, painting, cleaning or pointing of a building or structure shall furnish or erect, or cause to be furnished or erected for the performance of such labor, scaffolding, hoists, stays, ladders, slings, hangers, blocks, pulleys, braces, irons, ropes, and other devices which shall so constructed, placed and operated as to give proper protection to a person so employed.”

The Martorell Law Firm , in Brooklyn, New York, represents workers who have been injured at construction sites due to a scaffold collapse or other work site accidents.
