Experienced Brooklyn Construction Accident Attorneys Can Fight Your Claim For Damages

The construction industry in the US has some of the most dedicated and hardworking people who risk their lives every day in a hazardous profession to contribute to the building of the nation’s economy. From commercial buildings to residential projects to large infrastructure projects, such as bridges, roads, tunnels, highways and airports, construction workers are vital to the growth and development of the local economy in Brooklyn, NY and the rest of the state. Construction workers such as laborers, masons, carpenters, electricians, ironworkers, plumbers, sheet metal workers and painters operate in this high-risk industry to support their families. New York has put in place a number of workers’ compensation laws to protect the rights of construction workers. In the event of an on-the-job injury, the worker can expect to receive compensation for their medical costs, potential loss of income, and pain and suffering. In some of the construction injury cases, the victim could possibly have two claims for a single accident, by way of a workers’ comp claim as well as a lawsuit. Rosenberg, Minc, Falkoff & Wolff law firm in Brooklyn, NY handles various legal aspects of the construction injury claims, including worker’s compensation, lawsuits for personal injury, social security for disability, and appeals.
