Building, Construction, Demolition, and Repair Work

New York law provides that all areas where construction, excavation, or demolition work is being performed must be equipped and arranged to provide reasonable and adequate protection and safety to employees working there or lawfully frequenting such places. All owners and contractors and their agents must comply with these safety requirements. Just as in the New York Labor laws governing scaffolding construction, one and two-family dwellings owners who contract for but do not control the work performed by the contractor are exempt from liability under the statute.

In all matters involving New York construction accident law it is essential that measures be taken promptly to preserve evidence, investigate the accident in question, and to file a lawsuit prior to the deadline imposed by the New York construction statute of limitations.

Don't delay! You may have a valid claim and be entitled to compensation for your injuries, but a lawsuit must be filed before the New York construction statute of limitations expires.
