New York Construction Site Accident Lawyer
Westchester County • White Plains • NYC
There are certain inherent risks at a construction site. Experienced construction professionals are aware of these potential dangers. Yet no matter how safe they are, accidents can occur due to the negligence of another party. At the Law Offices of Young & Bartlett, LLP in White Plains and New York City, our lawyers represent construction workers and ensure that their rights are protected.
Subcontractors Not Meeting OSHA Standards
Residential and commercial construction sites are by nature hazardous to anyone in the area. Scaffolding accidents, ladder falls, and injuries from heavy machinery and falling objects occur on a daily basis. Compliance with OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) standards are vital for safety and are mandatory by law.
While construction subcontractors may have multimillion-dollar insurance policies, they must adhere to certain regulations. Those who fail in meeting those safety standards need to be held accountable if you are injured or if you lost a loved one in a tragic construction accident.

Building Your Construction Site Accident Case
To establish your case, we team with economists and union officials to determine the earnings and benefits lost following your accident, now and in the future.
