We Protect the Rights of Construction Accident Victims
Construction is one of the most dangerous occupations in the U.S., according to reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In 2009, 816 construction workers suffered fatal on-the-job injuries, which is three times more than all other workers.
Workers on large construction sites, as well as workers at smaller commercial properties or three-family or greater residences, may be entitled to personal injury damages in addition to workers' compensation benefits. If a third party, such as the manufacturer of defective machinery, is responsible for your injury, you may be able to sue for damages.
The law office of Queller, Fisher, Washor, Fuchs & Kool, L.L.P., is an established firm with nearly 50 years of experience. We represent injured construction workers and their families in third-party negligence and wrongful death claims. We can also handle claims for bystanders who are injured by construction site accidents. For a free consultation with our New York construction accident attorneys, please call 877-394-1329 or contact us online.
Results include $10.5 million for a construction worker who suffered a spinal injury in a trench accident and $5.25 million for a roofer injured in a fall from the top of Riker's Island Correctional Facility.*

Construction accident cases are taken on a contingency fee basis. If we accept your case, there is no fee unless we recover damages for you.
