Attorneys who practice construction accident law in New York City are well aware that a large percentage of construction workers are Latin-American immigrants with many countries in Central and South America being represented in the construction worker labor force. These workers often have little control of the dangerous nature of the jobs they perform and are tasked with activities that routinely put them at risk for injury and death. Lawyers in this area of law routinely tell stories of clients who would get fired and/or threatened with deportation if they dared to complain about inadequate safety devices or hazardous working conditions.
