Construction Accidents

Construction Accident Claims Attorney
Poughkeepsie, New York, Accidents Lawyer

Construction accidents can be especially dangerous. New York laws recognize the inherent risks of construction work with laws that place high priority on safety requirements. Labor Law 240 (also called New York's Scaffold Law) demands strict liability for construction site accidents. Owners and contractors cannot push responsibility onto subcontractors.

At the Fishkill, New York, law firm of John Ianelli , we understand Section 240 and all other sections of New York's comprehensive Labor Code. If there is any question of cause, our investigators will examine the evidence. If there is third-party liability involved (such as defective equipment that is the fault of the manufacturer), we will explore additional means of recovering the maximum benefits for the accident you or a loved one suffered.

New York construction accident attorney John Ianelli thoroughly prepares every case and aggressively protects each client's rights. He has handled a wide range of construction accidents covered under Labor Law 240 such as:

• Falls in a scaffolding accident caused by inadequate safety equipment
• Falls caused by a floor caving in
• Falls into excavations that cave in or that do not have proper safeguards
• Equipment failures such as a backhoe or dump truck that doesn't have a warning bell
• Temporary wiring that causes electrical shocks, burns, and electrocution

Construction accident injuries can be devastating - massive broken bones, serious brain damage, paralyzing spinal cord injuries, and multiple surgeries to repair damages. An insurance company will often try to downplay the seriousness or permanence of injuries or even blame the victim.

If you or a loved one has suffered a serious construction accident, Section 240 of the Labor Law is on your side and so is construction accidents lawyer John Ianelli. Call today and the construction accidents claims attorney with proven results will protect your rights under the law.

The construction accident law firm of John Ianelli fights for client rights and maximum results for injured people in the Mid-Hudson Valley area of Dutchess, Orange, Ulster, and Putnam counties including the communities of Fishkill, Poughkeepsie, Beacon, Hopewell Junction, Newburgh, Middletown, Goshen, Kingston, Saugerties, and Rhinebeck.
