Construction workers are exposed to potential dangers every day while performing job-related tasks. Their environment and equipment can increase the risk of an accident, so it is vital to take precautions to ensure worker safety. Many laws and regulations are in place to protect construction workers, such as Labor Law Section 240, which requires the safe use of scaffolds and other devices commonly used at construction sites, as well as Labor Law Section 241(6), which requires that proper safety precautions be used in areas in which construction, excavation, or demolition work is being performed. However, when construction site owners and general contractors fail to abide by safety regulations or cause harm, you may be able to hold them accountable for your construction accident-related injuries.
