Falling Object Injury Claims and Lawsuits in New York
On a daily basis, construction workers face numerous dangers. In fact, thousands of individuals are injured in construction accidents throughout the U.S. every year. Such injuries can be caused by any number of causes, including falling objects. When tools and materials are carelessly tossed around, it is easy for them to be kicked or pushed over the edge of a roof or floor.
Many different types of objects that fall from construction sites can include the following:
- Cement slabs being moved by cranes
- Tools such as hammers, screwdrivers, and many others
- Materials such as lumber, steel framing, electrical wires, and others
- Machinery such as cement mixers, saws, and other power tools
- Safety equipment such as masks, helmets, boots, and others
If you have been hit and injured due to a falling object, it is essential that you seek legal representation to pursue an injury claim. You may be entitled to collect damages for the suffering that you have endured in order to cover various costs of recovery, such as medical bills and loss of wages. At The Odierno Law Firm, P.C., we can work with you to pursue the legal action that will fight for compensatory damages in your situation. Contact our Long Island personal injury attorney today!
