FALLING OBJECT ON CONSTRUCTION SITE/ NEW YORK LABOR LAW LIABILITY
A construction worker who was doing masonry work on a school building was injured when he was struck by a scaffold plank that fell from the fourth floor while the scaffold was being dismantled.
Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx and Queens Dismantling Accident Attorney
Some of the most hazardous work on construction sites involves demolition of existing structures and dismantling of work equipment, piping and ductwork. Causes of serious injury in these situations can include:
- Large pieces of material breaking free due to the lack of proper bracing or any bracing at all
- Light fixtures, heavy conveyor belt systems used in warehouse settings and heavy equipment falling during the dismantling/demolition process
- Workers falling from scaffolding or having a scaffold or other platform collapse due to impact from falling debris
