Recent Accident Renews Safety Concerns at New York City Sites

Renewed safety concerns at NYC sites

According to a recent report, a jackhammer chisel flew through a window adjacent to an Asphalt Green construction site that also borders a children’s facility where 400 children play outside daily. Current construction at the site involves the installation of manholes and telecommunications equipment. Although members of the community have urged the company to relocate this work or find a safer alternative, work has continued, and a woman suffered cuts and bruises from shattered glass after the chisel flew through the window.

This incident is yet another example of construction companies failing to adequately protect the safety of the environment surrounding their work. If you or someone you love has been injured in a construction accident, let the Brooklyn construction accident lawyers at the Law Offices of Jeffrey K. Kestenbaum help you understand how you may be able to recover compensation.

Construction Companies Do Not Heed Warnings

Construction injuries can occur for a variety of reasons, not the least of which are a construction company’s failure to adhere to safety protocols at the job sites they manage. For example, in the Asphalt Green accident there had been previous requests to stop work and find alternatives. This is simply unacceptable. Because there are few regulatory protections for construction workers, the best possible course of action if you or someone you love has been injured in a construction accident is to contact an experienced attorney immediately.

Why Do I Need a Brooklyn Construction Accident Lawyer?

Surely you would like to believe that the construction near you is safe. In fact, postings at or near the site probably lead you to believe that this is the case. However, the statistics do not lie, and frequently the job sites that claim to be safe are in violation of many state and local laws and regulations. In order to determine the best course of action, you will need to speak with an attorney who specializes in these types of cases so that they can advise you whether filing a personal injury lawsuit immediately could be to your benefit.
