Joint and Several Liability

Just like in other personal injury cases, for construction safety injuries New York law holds two or more defendants who are responsible for causing an injury jointly and severally liable for the damages of the injured plaintiff. An injured party is free to seek 100 percent of the damages awarded to the plaintiff from any individual wrongdoer among joint wrongdoers.

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.
