Are you a construction worker who was injured in a scaffolding accident?  Did a family member sustain an injury in a fall?  Whether you are injured or you are seeking legal help on behalf of another person, you likely have many questions about your rights and legal options.  You likely have many concerns about medical bills, lost wages and the future impact of the injury.
At LaRock & Perez, L.L.P., we provide effective legal help to people who have been injured in scaffolding accidents.  Many of our clients are workers who have been injured as a result of falling from scaffolds and thus we are familiar with the many problems and issues that arise from these very serious accidents and the impact they cause on entire families as well as the ways the New York Labor Law can be used in your favor to receive adequate and lifelong compensation.  In addition, many of our clients who are injured in a scaffolding accident are undocumented aliens who also are entitled to representation and compensation under the law.

What is Labor Law Section 240(1)?

Labor Law Section 240(1) is New York's scaffold law.  It states:

"All contractors and owners and their agents, except owners of one and two-family dwellings who contract for but do not direct or control the work, in the erection, demolition, renovation, repairing, altering, painting, or pointing of a building or structure shall furnish or erect, or cause to be furnished or erected for the performance of such labor, scaffolding, hoists, stays, ladders, slings, hangers, blocks, pulleys, braces, irons, ropes, and other devices which shall be so constructed, placed and operated as to give proper protection to a person so employed."

What does this mean to you if you have been injured in a scaffolding accident?  It means the property owner or contractor may be held responsible for the injuries.  These laws are designed to protect construction workers who are injured in scaffolding accidents and other falls from heights.
