New York Roof Fall Attorney

Under New York Labor Statutes 240 and 241, property owners have strict liability for injuries suffered by workers in falls from roofs and ladders, work platforms or other heights while performing job tasks on their property.

If you were injured in a fall while working on a construction site or other type of job in New York City, talk to an attorney at Rosenbaum & Rosenbaum, P.C. We are one of the city's pre-eminent personal injury law firms representing injured workers in "third-party" liability cases involving Labor Statutes 240 and 241.

Multiple Liability

In cases involving defective scaffolding or ladders, or falls from roofs, there are often multiple parties who share liability for damages. Under Labor Statutes 240 and 241, the property owner can be held liable for damages, but the manufacturer or subcontractor responsible for installing the scaffolding may also share legal responsibility. We thoroughly investigate your fall accident to determine the full extent of liability and seek maximum compensation from every responsible party.

A fall from a height often results in the most serious and catastrophic injuries. We have experience helping injured workers receive lifetime compensation for complex injuries such as:

• Back and spinal cord injuries, paralysis
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Compound fractures and joint injuries, crush injuries

Our attorneys are ready to help you fight for the full extent of your losses from a serious fall or other workplace injury. Contact us if you have been injured in any kind of accident at work, including:

• Defective ladders, scaffolding and work platforms
