Ladder And Scaffolding Accidents

Brooklyn Ladder Fall Injury Attorney

New York City is an urban jungle of tall buildings. The state of New York has taken into account the hazards that construction workers and visitors to construction sites face as a result of ladders and scaffolds. Contractors and property owners are responsible for the safety of construction workers and other people who may be in harm’s way because of unsafe and unsecured ladders and scaffolds.

If you have been injured or a loved one has been killed as a result of a scaffolding fall or any accident involving a crane, ladder or scaffold in New York, contact our law firm to assess your options.

New York Labor Law Section 240 (1) provides that: “All contractors and owners and their agents, except owners of one and two-family dwellings who contract for but do not direct or control the work, in the 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 be so constructed, placed and operated as to give proper protection to a person so employed.”
