New York Head Injury Attorneys
Construction Accident Legal Help in Albany Since 1950
The hazards of falling debris are demonstrated by New York State's laws governing lawsuits involving construction sites and falling items. In many cases, defendants face "strict liability" when employees are injured due to falls and falling items.
Strict liability means that defendants such as construction companies are assumed to be at fault following "gravity-related" injuries. Injured parties do not then have to prove fault and liability. Instead, their primary task is to prove injuries and determine the value of the claim.
If you have been injured by falling debris on a construction site or other site in New York, protect your rights by contacting the personal injury lawyers of Friedman, Hirschen and Miller, LLP. Our lawyer teams have a combined 75 years of experience in handling construction site injury claims, including workers' compensation claims and third-party claims.
Additionally, each attorney at our firm is a former defense lawyer. As former defense attorneys, we have handled construction site injuries and know how defending attorneys will likely fight your case. We can counteract defense lawyers' tactics before they are even employed.
A Recent Case Illustrates Our Effectiveness in Handling Injury Cases Resulting From Falling Debris
Our client suffered a serious eye injury and a cerebral concussion when poorly stacked paint cans fell from a pallet about him. We investigated the claim, and then argued that the defendant failed in their duty to safely stack supplies and to provide a safe work environment. We successfully negotiated a $950,000 settlement before trial.
A key to our success is our understanding of trial psychology. We have handled numerous trials and have decades of experience communicating clients' concerns to juries. For more information and to schedule a no-charge consultation, please contact our firm.
