Should I Consult a Construction Attorney Instead of an Injury Attorney?

Scaffolding, ladder, and crane accidents in NY are a specific field of law, and require attorneys who are familiar with the details of personal injury in relation to construction law. If you suffer a crane accident injury in NY, or any type of construction accident injury, seek a NY crane accident attorney in the field of construction law. A construction attorney who has experience in NYC crane accident law will be fully aware of the dangers involving construction labor, and the factors that contribute to construction accidents and crane injury in NYC.

Why a construction attorney?

In your scaffolding, ladder, or crane accident lawsuit in NYC, you want a representative who has deep knowledge of construction law. Most general personal injury attorneys do not regularly practice construction site personal injury law, nor are they as likely understand its intricacies. A general personal injury attorney may be able to handle a NYC crane accident lawsuit to a certain extent, but the result may be a weaker case, minimal financial compensation, and overall mediocre representation.

On the other hand, by finding a construction attorney who is knowledgeable in construction law and has successfully litigated a number of construction site personal injury cases, you can maximize the strength of your claim and feel assured that your case is in the right hands.

The following causes of construction site injury are best evaluated by an experienced construction and crane accident attorney in NY:

  • Lifting loads with worn or weathered cables
  • Lack of fall protection on elevated platforms
  • Defective safety harnesses and/or lanyards
  • Working in trenches without proper benching
  • Use of outdated tools and/or equipment
